i_DOG Lyrics by Number_i is a new japanese song by Number_i. The song is released on Number_i’s official YouTube channel, written by Number_i and Pecori, produced by 平野紫耀 (Sho Hirano), and featured on the album GOD_i. Offering a raw and introspective experience, the track dives into personal disillusionment and the struggle for self-definition against societal expectations, channeling a complex blend of frustration, resilience, and defiance.
i_DOG explores themes of identity crisis, emotional stagnation, and the internal war between conformity and independence. Number_i paints a vivid portrait of someone stuck in a cycle of repetition, unable to move forward while haunted by memories and past choices. The lyrics oscillate between confusion and awakening, with references to adolescent angst, existential weight, and resistance against being controlled or dehumanized—symbolized by the metaphor of becoming someone’s obedient “dog.” Through chaotic rhythms and candid lyricism, the song reflects the journey of reclaiming agency in a world that often demands submission.

i_DOG Lyrics
[Intro]
Number_i
[Verse 1]
振り出しからまたずっと
止まってるぜ平成からの少年
輪の中心宙に取って凝った取った flip the page
[Verse 2]
未練まるでtime sink
巻き戻ると生と死
この指止まればすぐに
Memory number three
[Verse 3]
何回目かわかんねぇ人生 take
選ばれし者が砕く break
俺だとしてなにとだれを制す?
外も暮れる前待った
Don’t wanna go to that phase
[Verse 4]
見てみな宙に描いた sorry
とうに甲に残したメモは消えそうに
こんがらがった friday night
俺だけ未だに描けない未来が現在後退
[Chorus]
去ってった急に
まだ舞ってる宙に
感じる feeling
後振り返りチューニング
飛ぶ前に calling, falling
思ってる以上に
まだ言いたそうな口開きっぱな中2
[Breakdown]
もうちょっと待った
ステップアップグレードで下級から投げろ hate (Hate, hate)
One shot で重要なあいつも
奴の手を取り空に change (Change, change)
もうちょっと待った
ステップアップグレードで下級から投げろ hate (Hate, hate)
あいつとあいつの犬になれずお手と待てで end (End, end)
(Hate)
[Verse 4]
俺だけが止まったまま
ただ過ぎてくドラマ
繰り返すワード無に帰すなんて
命綱無しのフライテスト mic check
[Verse 5]
頭のライフゲージは既に削れてくが
I know と群れた思想のポイントゲーム
ジリジリ擦れた音ジェラシー蹴ったり
慣れた底からの底辺 start ラインベース
ベース ベース ベース (ベース)
[Chorus]
去ってった急に
まだ舞ってる宙に
感じる feeling
後振り返りチューニング
飛ぶ前に calling, falling
思ってる以上に
まだ言いたそうな口開きっぱな中2
去ってった急に (急に)
まだ舞ってる宙に (宙に)
感じる feeling (Feeling)
後振り返りチューニング
飛ぶ前に calling, falling
思ってる以上に
まだ言いたそうな口開きっぱな中2
[Breakdown]
もうちょっと待った
ステップアップグレードで下級から投げろ hate (Hate, hate)
One shot で重要なあいつも
奴の手を取り空に change (Change, change)
もうちょっと待った
ステップアップグレードで下級から投げろ hate (Hate, hate)
あいつとあいつの犬になれずお手と待てで end
(Hate)
[Outro]
丸まった俺から角ばった行為
特急なら top なゾーン
戻す time 振り出しにもどって
Number_i
i_DOG Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The intro simply states “Number_i,” functioning as a signature entrance. It marks the start of an emotionally volatile narrative, setting the stage for a deep dive into the self.
[Verse 1]
Number_i describes a feeling of being frozen in time, emotionally stuck since the Heisei era. The “少年” (young boy) remains unchanged, looping through the same pages of his life. This verse highlights a cyclical struggle with identity and stagnation, hinting at an internal world resistant to progression despite outward appearances.
[Verse 2]
The second verse introduces regret and nostalgia, describing unresolved emotions as a “time sink”—a trap. Life and death feel reversible, suggesting that the past still controls the present. The mention of “Memory number three” symbolizes a specific memory or trauma that continues to define Number_i’s behavior and choices.
[Verse 3]
Here, the artist questions his purpose and role, reflecting on repeated failures and the pressure of being “chosen.” The verse captures a moment of existential pause before darkness sets in, where Number_i refuses to enter a phase of blind acceptance or fate without resistance.
[Verse 4]
This section is riddled with emotional confusion. Number_i tries to communicate regret (“描いた sorry”) but finds past efforts fading. The metaphor of a tangled Friday night and an unwritten future that regresses instead of progressing reflects a constant struggle to define what lies ahead while feeling pulled backward by unresolved pain.
[Chorus]
The chorus encapsulates the feeling of abandonment and emotional residue. Even as someone has left, their presence lingers “in the air.” Number_i expresses inner turmoil and unresolved communication—mouth open as if still wanting to speak. The image of being emotionally stuck in a middle-school mindset (中2) hints at vulnerability and a deep sense of incompletion.
[Breakdown]
This aggressive and rebellious segment serves as the emotional climax. Number_i calls for resistance against being controlled (“下級から投げろ hate”) and refuses to become someone else’s obedient “dog.” There’s a strong emphasis on rising up and rejecting submission. Instead of giving in to the role dictated by others, the artist aims to rewrite his trajectory—even if it means starting from the bottom.
[Verse 4]
This verse reiterates emotional stillness while everything else moves on like a drama. Number_i emphasizes the futility of recycled words and finds himself on a mic test without a safety rope—conveying the danger of expressing truth in a world that may not be ready for it.
[Verse 5]
Fatigue and depletion are central here—his “life gauge” is already being drained. The artist critiques herd mentality (“群れた思想”) and reflects on jealousy and failure. Yet from this low point, he prepares to restart, highlighting a raw determination to rise from the very bottom, symbolized by the repeated “ベース.”
[Chorus]
Repetition of the chorus deepens the emotional echo. The feeling of abandonment, unspoken thoughts, and unresolved emotions remains ever-present. The use of repetition mirrors the cyclical mental loop Number_i can’t seem to escape, yet continues to fight against.
[Breakdown]
The repeated breakdown intensifies the refusal to conform. Number_i continues to reject being used or controlled. There’s a call for personal revolution—flipping the power dynamic and choosing one’s own direction over submission.
[Outro]
In the final lines, Number_i acknowledges transformation—from someone who was “rounded off” to someone acting with sharp edges. He claims his rightful place in the top zone, but paradoxically returns to the starting point, suggesting that growth often requires going back to confront the origin. The outro reinforces the central theme: personal rebellion is a continuous loop of breaking down and rebuilding.
