    Seriously this song is just perfect - in every version she does it says something a bit different, even though everyone knows what it's about. Lyrically, melodically, atmospherically ... all of it. She just nails those queasy, surreal after-effects of a short and intense thing with someone.

      I agree that she's great at bringing out different mixes of emotions! That said, the lyrics suggest a longer relationship to me, where there was time for her to pile up a lot of baggage and dependency that makes it difficult to leave even if it's toxic. I guess we can get different interpretations.

    It's about Ryan Adams who she kind of dated briefly. "You were in a band when I was born" makes sense now, because he's like 40 something and she's in her 20's.

    I hate you for what you did
    And I miss you like a little kid
    I faked it every time, but that's alright
    I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all
    You gave me fifteen hundred
    To see your hypnotherapist
    I only went one time, you let it slide
    Fell on hard times a year ago, was hoping you would let it go and you did
    I have emotional motion sickness
    Somebody roll the windows down
    There are no words in the English language
    I could scream to drown you out
    I'm on the outside looking through
    You're throwing rocks around your room
    And while you're bleeding on your back in the glass
    I'll be glad that I made it out and sorry that it all went down like it did
    I have emotional motion sickness
    Somebody roll the windows down
    There are no words in the English language
    I could scream to drown you out
    And why do you sing with an English accent?
    I guess it's too late to change it now
    You know I'm never gonna let you have it
    But I will try to drown you out
    You said when you met me, you were bored
    You said when you met me, you were bored
    And you, you were in a band when I was born
    I have emotional motion sickness
    I try to stay clean and live without
    And I wanna know what would happen
    If I surrender to the sound
    Surrender to the sound

      "The song, she tells me, is about the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, whom she met in 2015. “A mutual friend in LA was like, ‘Ryan would like you’. He really was just trying to get me recording and trying to get Ryan to hear me, but Ryan was like, ‘Let me see a picture of her’.” Bridgers says that she and Adams “ended up hanging out all night and recording a song together called Killer. Then, a couple of weeks later, he was suddenly trying to hook up with me. I was super-down and had just broken up with my high-school boyfriend. We slept together on his 40th birthday and I’d just turned 20.”
      She wrote Motion Sickness after they broke up. What did he think of it? “We were back on good terms by then but after I sent him the song he didn’t talk to me for 24 hours. Then he sent me a sweet text saying ‘it’s a great song’,” she says. “Yes, interesting character…”"
