Why Three Legged Dog by The Bengsons is a DL!Pearl song, an essay

hello, people of tumblr. i propose to you this.

i will be touching on the following points throughout this essay:

the dog metaphor

the dependency of another person

various other lyricism examples

the vocal quality

1. The Dog

if you cant tell, this song is called three legged dog. the singer, abigail, talks about being a dog caught in a trap (could be interpreted as the life series, or the specific soulmate aspect. more on that later). there isnt much more to it. shes a dog caught in a trap, and shes gonna chew off her foot to get free.

2. The Trap

her soulmate, scott, left her. and she never got over it, no matter how hard she wanted to, thanks to the soulmate mechanic. she was left hurt and stranded, forced to make do with the situation she found herself in.

now for some lyrics:

When we met, I broke in pieces And half of me went into you When you go, my shards will scatter Half of me is dying too

this is peak double life pearl. absolute peak double life pearl. she lost part of herself seeing scott and cleo team. she actively hurt herself, just so scott would hurt too. but in that, the same applies. when scott gets hurt, so does she.

I'm supposed to just keep walking I'm supposed to just move on No, I can't breathe without him l'll be nothing, yeah, I'1l be nothing yeah Oh when he's gone, when he's gone

she makes it her mission to mess with scott. she practically goes insane messing with scott. shes stuck like glue to him, even when he kept brushing her off for someone else.

l'Il be a pile of salt I'll be a river of salt

same as before: she doesnt get over his betrayal. at all. she holds that grudge- she holds lots of grudges- until the end of the line.

3. Other Lyrics

if im being honest, for these i dont have reasons. take them as they are. they fit.

I'm a dog in a trap I'm gonna chew off my foot And leave it behind Leave it behind in the ashes and in the soot

kinda fitting. you see it right.

I can't do it anymore I'm not strong enough for this I never, I never said that I could Well I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I Can't I can't I can't I can't I'm sorry

more on this in the fourth section.

I could leave this pain, I could leave this pain behind I could leave this behind Erase, erase my mind, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna rip my flesh I'm gonna, I'm gonna set myself Free! Free...

4. The Delivery

abigail is an incredibly talented vocalist. the track begins with her singing in a rather reserved way, but once she starts talking about the pain of the trap, the intensity picks up.

i would love to note the delivery of "i'd be a three legged dog." she says it three times in a row, and each has its own emotion. the first is ruefully factual, the second is the weight settling in, the third is cracking under the pressure.

and then comes the "i can't do it anymore" lines. theyre delivered in a way where you can hear the pain shes going through. its almost difficult to listen to because of how raw they are. they only get more unhinged when the other party is mentioned, such as the "half of me is dying, too" line.

she sounds desperate to "leave this pain behind," especially in the "erase, erase my mind" line (one of my favorites). and once she does, theres a moment of pause. the acknowledgement that she set herself free in one way, but part of her remains stuck.

thus, the "i'm supposed to just keep walking" lines, all the way to the end. shes still so bitter to the person who did this to her. she laments becoming a three legged dog, though it gave her freedom.

overall, one of my favorite vocal performances of all time.

and with that, my essay concludes. thank you for reading 🫡

I want A hundred days Of bright light A hundred days You're my man Of bright light, away, away (hey!)

[inked-out-trees]

not to romanticise life too hard or anything but ive been thinking about music and february and continuing on. this too shall pass. in the dark tonight i'm coming back for you. i will rise i will face the morning laughing and i'll try to find myself along the way. the universe is not against you. we will be together in the work and in the hurt. put the work in plant a garden try to stay afloat. there will be better days. there's a hole in the sky and i'm aiming for it. we're making it into march and beyond and by god we're going to sing.

#in order: #this too shall pass (danny schmidt) #brother (rural alberta advantage) #tummy in the blood (the yellow dress) #dissect the bird (john craigie) #the keep going song (the bengsons) #you're the reason i don't want the world to end (the wonder years) #tomorrow (miner) #summer clothes extended cut (the wonder years) #anyway. february was complicated #good things came in little bits of loved life #hanging out doing work on a discord call #seeing little smiley faces in youtube subtitles #hyping up a friend's artwork #having a real conversation with a cute dude #less good things also happened but like #we get through it you know? #the only way out is through #if i have to drag you into tomorrow so be it. we will see another sunrise together

Idk why but big sis Leo gives me the energy of “Hundred Days” by The Bengsons. It’s a sob go that gives me so much serotonin and I feel like she’d dance to it with the kids :D anyways your art is awesome byeeee <33

FuLck

I’m losing my shit

Yes

This and The Oh Hellos

It’s giving cottage core lesbian vibes and i live for that

I want her to have everything I can’t

She is the embodiment of spinning in a flowy prairie dress like she has nothing to worry about and that life is good

Excuse me Ill be back i have to draw something

#big sis leo #tmnt #got damn #this is killing me #i love her #so much #2012 leo #transfem leo #give her dresses and places to spin #also thnak you holyshit i dont know how anyone would like my art #i just think its so sloppy

tagged by @graveyardrabbit to share five songs I've been listening to repeatedly! thank you - here they are!

unfinished business - mumford & sons (this is a cover, but I've found I enjoy it much more than the original. I really do feel like the story of a ghost returning to the lover that killed them does call for some Strong Banjo.)

updraft - hawktail (twangle twangle twangle String Instruments! it's a good song for a rising late spring.)

bringin' home the rain - the builders and the butchers (my dad recommended me this one. night-journeying kind of music, although I don't do much of that these days.)

hundred days - the bengsons (music to wake up to. music to wash dishes to. music to randomly spin around in circles to while walking outside.)

lonely boy - the black keys (a rare Nostalgia Favorite that's exactly as good as it was when I first heard it!)

and I shall tag... @anotherscrappile, @dxppercxdxver, @sailorpants, @natdrinkstea, @cadmusfly, and anyone else who feels like sharing.

#one of those tag things #on a bit of a mumford & sons thing lately (wormsfic reasons originally) and now unfinished business soundtracks most writing projects #this is not a problem since it Fits with most of my writing projects far far too well

need everyone ever to listen to this song, it has been an earworm for me since listening to abigail bengson's guest appearance on the "how to survive the end of the world" podcast (which has been so life-giving for me lately and i also HIGHLY reccomend)

#dorian.txt #Spotify

[ghostlycollectorchaos]

Every song is about them if you're hyper fixating hard enough

That being said A Hundred Day by The Bengsons is so Goodnight Couple coded (before the shit going down ofc or in the modern setting au)
