About This Track

‘TV Dog’ by Everything Everything is an alternative track from the album ‘Mountainhead’, released in 2024. The lyrics circle around trust, manipulation, and learned behaviour, with the television acting as both witness and teacher. There’s a sense of bruised innocence, the speaker repeating “I’m doing my best” while circling the question of why it’s always liars and games when the screen is on. The imagery turns domestic and immediate, with the piece ending on a rough jolt of chaos, as if the ceiling has come apart.

"TV Dog" is a track by Everything Everything, from the album Mountainhead, released 1st March 2024. The track is 2:10 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 19 articles about Everything Everything.

Lyrics

TV Dog

Why is it always liars and ball games
When I turn on the television?
Know if you break me, you'll have to buy me
I learned it from the television

So innocent
Such innocence
And I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best

Ceiling was bloody, guess you got lucky
I saw you on the television
If it's not free will, is it a treadmill?
Don't believe the television

You're so innocent
Mm, such innocence
And I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
