Here are the 3 ways how I see this song.

*The person that the song is about has a dog like Pilate. It obeys, listens, kisses, loves, you could say its a metaphor about a needy partner. He/she later sees the reflection and once again realises how shit this is.

*The awesome way to see it [Stunned by my own reflection It's looking back, sees me too clearly And I swore I'd never go there again Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down]

Realises she/he is the dog and it's back where it didn't want to be, it swore it wouldn't be her/his bitch ever again, but oops. Assuming everything else said in the song is what the owner thinks.

*Another one is that the person is talking about itself. What made me think this was [Walks me out of town/Still, one's a crowd] me and myself, she/he defaults to a way of being that they don't like, even when they are on their own that way of being is frustrating and annoying and the realisation is not unlike a friend that politely brings you down. Time to change stop being a dog to other people and yourself.

Not so long ago I told a friend that to me she was like the human version of pearl jam's lyrics, neither here or there, implies alot so it is hard to figure out and understand and if you think you clocked into it a few minutes later... you go "huh? so, what? and which?" :)I like pearl jam
