Th amount of people that think this song is talking about literally putting
your dog to sleep need to reevaluate the way they hear music. It’s all a
metaphor.

Awakened_Dreams says:

I know this isn’t about an actual dog being put to sleep, but it makes me
want to hug my dog so much

Matt Jarvie says:

Pretty gorgeous song, with some pretty great lyrics and soulful vocals.
The Antlers are one of those groups that overall I am not a huge fan of,
but they have some really fantastic songs under their belt — this being
one of them.

FoxFireMC says:

*You can’t keep running out*
*Kicking yourself off the bed*
*Kicking yourself in the head*
*’Cause you’re kicking me too….*

Yeah thats me.

Aida Tulley says:

This song is absolutely beautiful. <3

Arianna Sims says:

my theme song

LuckySmarts says:

*cries* first off that was sad. Second- is it just me or did anyone hear
the TARDIS during the beginning music?

Maroo Cat says:

Poor dog though, it shouldn’t be put down it’s just a dog!

Elisha is mini Joker says:

This reminds me of my dog who had to be put to sleep because he got hit by
a car and he couldn’t stand the pain so the vet put him to sleep and he was
still a puppy and we were so close and now i miss him :'(

Jackson Steinborn says:

For those who know that the social intrest and stigma around you have
singled you out to be forever alone, i hope you can accept it, and not
worry about it.
Just gotta enjoy the good times that life brings you, and remember.
You’re never alone, because there’s someone out there in the same situation.
Im with you.

This song is my life…
For some reason now I feel empty…

*THE ANTLERS – PUTTING THE DOG TO SLEEP*

*prove to me*
*I’m not gonna die alone*
*put your arm round my collarbone*
*and open the door*
*don’t lie to me*
*if you’re putting the dog to sleep*
*the pet you just couldn’t keep*
*and couldn’t afford…*

*well prove to me*
*I’m not gonna die alone*
*Unstitch that shit I’ve sewn*
*To close up the hole that tore through my skin*

*Well my trust in you is a dog with a broken leg*
*Tendons too torn to beg for you to let me back in*

*You said, “I can’t prove to you you’re not gonna die alone*
*But trust me to take you home*
*To clean up that blood all over your paws*

*You can’t keep running out,*
*Kicking yourself off the bed,*
*Kicking yourself in the head,*
*Because you’re kicking me too.”*

*Put your trust in me*
*I’m not gonna die alone.*
*Put your trust in me*

*I’m not gonna die alone…*

*I don’t think so…*

Daniel Jones says:

I don’t know if anyone else made this connection, but I was reminded of the
scenes in Donnie Darko where Donnie talks about his dog who crawled under
the porch to “die alone.” Roberta Sparrow also mentions that “every living
creature dies alone.”

Piękna piosenka ;_;

povertyXart says:

This song is everything.

Blue cat says:

Reminds me of when one of our cousin’s dogs died.

Cold Llama says:

omg my friend’s dog died like 2 days ago with lethal injection because he
had a conjugated heart valve or something like that ): 

Ana Heyes says:

It is now obvious that this really has nothing to do with putting any dogs
to sleep but that was the first thing I thought of when I heard this.
This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard in a while…hm.

Kiara SaysHi says:

I believe this song Is possibly about someone whom has done something to be
a menace and their closet friend or relative doesn’t want to be truly
involved but they still will stand by their side and love them and take
care of them. Until one day everything just falls apart and their only
friend walks out on them.

Artsy Scourge says:

Reminds me of the movie The Plague Dogs.

Darth Blob says:

People this song isn’t literally about putting a dog to sleep. 

Mac Cavanah says:

Levy McGarden says:

I don’t know why but this song gives me Goosebumps 

Alyssa Nobbe says:

I swear the beginning sounds makes me think I’m hearing the Tardis!

Julia Glew says:
