of the mitski self-associative trend this one has the descriptions i relate to most- i suppose it's because the majority of the videos tend to focus on the diagnostic aspect (ie. "you feel this way and this is why you feel this way") without leaving much room for nuance, while this one is more ..introspective. as in it feels like a true effort was put in to empathize with the perspective itself rather than just to analyze it- the text reading as the actual thought process of and feelings emanating within one who connects to the song rather than a hypothetical.
I truly appreciate this comment!! I deeply felt the message most of these songs were trying to convey and as you said, I’m not trying to analyze, I’m materializing my connection in away. Thank you so much for understanding that and I’m glad you liked the video
to isolate the line "i think you've realized it's a terrible mindset, but you don't care" expresses a lot of what i feel, really- I've lived my own life and while I admire those with the courage to climb their way to freedom, I myself am better off on the ground.
i always thought that "because dreaming costs money" was associated with immigrant or just parents in general sacrificing everything to give you a good life.
Burning Hill is one of my top three favorites and what it says because currently in my life all my friends are sad, hate themselves, and want to die. I want them to be happy, and I work so hard to make them happy, but it never seems to work, and I try so hard and tell them I want them to be happy and they just don't care. Should I give up? Should I keep trying to make them happy? I just want things to be simple again and I can be like a little kid.
I completely understand where you’re coming from and over the pandemic I decided that if my efforts aren’t being recognized than I should give up and I did. I know is going to sound cringe but sometimes letting is in fact better than holding on. Focus on yourself my dear! Make yourself happy, it’s going to be hard when it first starts but once you get it going you’re going to be unstoppable and thank yourself doing so. I’ve started going out and doing things on my own like eating, ice skating and all that and I’m genuinely enjoy them. And similar to you I miss being a kid so so much so I’ve bought myself plushies and enjoyed my fleeing youth. Take back control of your life and live for you and not others, it’s hard but I believe in you
i love a burning hill for the exact opposite reason. most of my friends are only ever really focused on themselves and im never anyone’s go-to person to hang out with. they’re all far too invested in either themselves or their popular friends. and i give, and i try, and i give and try for them to pay even the slightest attention to me and it just always backfires. it makes me think its all my fault and i cant find any other reasons this is happening to me specifically. im just so tired of it all and i would rather for the year to speed up and end so i can actually focus purely on myself.
I heavily relate to Humpty. My destructive habits will lead to the nothingness where the people I care about stand since all I can ever do is be mean and I think isolating myself would help even though it would only be hurting more
And also Shame, I get relief for being just an asshole even if it’s purposely or accidentally it’s only way I can cope with myself. But I don’t push it too far.
Sorry for keep adding on but I even relate to your best American girl. I seek to fit in with others that I’m not really in bracing my own culture I’m just so fed with being something entirely new
So thankful to see your description of Your Best American girl, I think this is the first one out of all of these that's mentioned how this song is about an issue that's very big struggle for alot of poc, the struggle of feeling like I'm not "Asian enough" is something I'm really trying to work through, and I'm getting there, but it's been a long journey and I'm not quite there yet, but I'm trying
i always have trouble feeling like i’m not black/hispanic enough, (compared to my whiteness) and feeling feminine as a black/hispanic person. love that song.
@@tatwrianna24 !! its almost embarrassing but like in the way that im not ashamed of me but of how other people dont love us like how we deserved to be loved ya know
me too but with being a black girl im not american but I live here and I had a long period of time where I was questioning my identity and who I was I still am tbh
Pink In the Night is my absolute fav but I'm lucky enough to have those emotions for someone who feels the same, definitely been through it where that wasn't the case though.
The one for A Burning Hill is so accurate. School’s gotten really stressful and I know it’ll only get worse. It’s so hard to focus or do anything. I just wish I could give up and be done with this. I want to be a little kid again and actually enjoy myself.
Bag of bones: You were always adored, popular, everybody wanted to be with you. But whenever people are being kind or nice to you -- even just a single kind gesture -- they want something from you. So they keep taking, and taking, and taking --- they take so much that you feel like all you are is empty, because one day, you have nothing left to offer. But humans are greedy; they only know how to take and you only know how to give. This happens for so long that you're just used to it by now. All you ever feel is exhausted.
Your best American girl hits- I'm slavic, Native American, and European, from a less than traditional family, as well as not the best mentally, and to be with most people, and seen as someone able to be loved, i feel as if I have to change myself to the point where it's making my mental and physical health worse by the day - but I am getting better and closer to accepting myself.
I relate to almost every single song she has created on quite personal levels… If I had to chose a few, I relate to Brand New City, Goodbye my Danish Sweetheart, I Want You, I Bet on Losing Dogs, and Last Words of a Shooting Star the most…
Last words of a shooting star Yes I am, and yes I do, yea that too. It feels like I’m alone but surrounded by people who have been told to love me. I don’t have friends that I can be comfortable and talk to, my family loves me since were family and not necessarily because I’m me. I could give the world to someone. I would pluck every star in the night sky just to make them happy. I would sail to the end of the world if that was what my love wanted. But I have nothing, no one, to love like that. No one who will ever give it back. And this drains me, every singe day I lose pieces of myself. I can’t think of the future without panicking, and the only thing keeping me from turning crazy is that I say to myself that soon this will all end, soon I will die Sorry for this vent I’m just slowly going insane
Gonna vent too. I can’t think of anything besides suicide. I really want to die I guess. It’s just that I gave up on everyone because everyone gave up on me. I haven’t woken up without being tired in 5 years… I’m missing waking up with energy. I struggle to leave bed, besides brushing my teeth I just sit all day and cry. I’m worthless to society. I’ve written many suicide notes, but I always end up burning them.
Idk probably another meaning but - I want you: You probably need someone there for you or someone to be with you and maybe someone that's perfect or whatever but you can't find anyone so your there alone so knowing the lyrics "I want you" you want that perfect person because you feel lonely.
Holy shit my heart physically aches from reading those descriptions for I Bet On Losing Dogs and Pink in the Night... you described the feeling that I often feel I have to bury deep down in order to continue living normally. Burning Hill as well. :')
hi!! i like a lot of mitski songs, but one of my favorites is never featured on these type of mitski videos, i was wondering if you could feature Remember My Name if you do a part 2? no pressure, thank you for the wonderful video and i hope u have a good day/night :DD
Hey!! Lucky for you I’m working in the second video right now and Remember My Name is in it. In fact it’s one of my favorite of hers so I hope you like my interpretation of it :D
I bet on losing dogs is definitely one of my favourites and always has been, and at the start i liked because I related to it and had a lover who didn't like me back (two times as well!), but now I like to listen to it to remind myself of how I no longer have to keep lying to myself to make the situation better, and how I'm free from them.
I cant even listen to Shame, it makes me so anxious because it reminds me too much of my own self destructive habits and how I’ve destroyed myself from the inside out
You described ‘I Want You’ so perfectly :’) I’m in that situation right now and it’s so hard to handle. All I can do I except it and enjoy my time with this person but it would take so much force and impossible energy to make them mine. I’m ok with them not being mine but I hope he thinks of me as a part of his life. (I mean he knows I like him but didn’t like me back so there’s a bit of hope-)
this is really good!! i personally always find “dreaming costs money, my dear” to be longing the privilege to pursuit your passion. it kinda gives similar vibe from the class 2013 lyric: “then i’ll leave what i’m chasing for the other girls to pursue” “your best american girl” specifically hits the nail tho 😭
As a queer woman of colour I relate to best American girl so much. I have vivid memories of when I was younger (probably 8-9) and wishing that I could be white. I've always been compared to some sort of ape or feeces most of my childhood and I was known as the 'gay kid', everyone thought i was weird. I've felt alienated my entire life. I fell in love with this skinny pretty white girl but we weren't really meant to be, I felt so judged by everyone because it wasn't considered as 'normal.'
3:50 just reading the first sentence made me tear up so much. Why do we let other people’s judgement get to us so much? It’s our individual lives, not a shared experience
your best american girl really hit a nerve. i was in a toxic relationship and i impulsively decided to look through his following.. only to find girls who looked nothing like me. white, blue eyed, blonde. as an asian girl with black hair, small dark brown eyes, i started hating myself so much. i tried doing my makeup like them, anything to get close to them and started arguments all the time with him about them. i tried changing my clothes, i put on so much makeup even my brother said it just looked *tacky*. but since we've broken up i've gotten better and learned to better embrace who i naturally am, although i do listen to the song to cope :')
class of 2013 is so accurate. i relate to it that way and also i’m absolutely terrified that when i move to nyc i’m going to fail and i’ll have to move back home and become dependent on my mom again
i love how you put the characters that match with the songs edit: omg your best american girl hit so hard. i relate with every single word of this song, it means so much to me. you literally described me in there
Really great video! But here’s the thing that I have. As someone who isn’t really into like love atm some songs have different feeling for me :) for example, I bet on loosing dogs is more to me like I hope on something I know is falling apart. I know it’s probs useless info but I really like mitski’s songs and hope some people can relate to me
I completely understand, and after my 6 month…”getaway” I feel like some of my analysis are not accurate. I think should’ve offered one in the romantic sense and the other in just a general sense. The reason for that is that I can see I Bet on Losing Dogs as continuously casting your hopes and dreams and being let down when you catch.
This got more popular than expected so thank you all!!! Here’s my discord if any of you guys ever want to talk: crankinswanginbangin#4528 (going to be honest here, I’m probably not going to message first so…) Love you guys and stay safe!
This is the best video of this genre i've seen it actually goes in depth compared to others that just say "you feel like the second choice" which feels too vague or surface level for a mitski song
your best american girl hit me so hard. still a beginner to mitski's music but i love a lot of her songs and this format was really introspective and sad but interesting! i love seeing people analyze songs
I’m just getting into Mitski, So I don’t know many of her(?) songs, but I can say these descriptions all seem painfully accurate. (Excuse my little rant thing here) (This goes in order of the songs in the video) (Class of 2013 description) I love my mom but she has truly damaged me with her words. I want to call her my best friend and that I tell her everything but.. She just says all these things I don’t think she realizes are so offensive..:( (I bet on losing dogs) I still love my ex. I’m so fucking upset about it. I can’t help it. We where together for so fucking long and then it just ended. But I can’t move on. (Two Slow Dancers) Again, I miss my ex. I really thought it would last forever. We had our whole future planned, All the way to our end. I don’t.. I don’t know where it all fell apart. I miss that relationship we had. We barely even talk now. (Pearl Driver) Do I even have to say much?.. I’ve changed so much. I was so wrapped up in one thing that I’ve become an outsider. All I can do now is just sit there and listen. I want to talk, but I can’t do it. I can’t do anything. (Circle) I hope my gf doesn’t see this, it’s something personal that I’m really just coming to terms with. I’m in a relationship, I thought she was the love of my life. It worked out at first. I really tried to, but.. Their still there. They still have my heart. I know I don’t have theirs..But they will forever have mine.. (Humpty) … I don’t think I can even say much. I really fucking messed up man. The things I did to myself has fucking ruined everything. I’m falling apart. (Pink in the Night) My god. I think about them so much. Every single night. I love them so much. I loved them and now I can’t stop. But I ruined. Ofc I fucking did. It’s me. I ruin everything. Now I have to sit here and regret every fucking thing I did wrong. Every dumb mistake I made. Especially that one.. (Wife) It’s true. They are the reason my existence has any little meaning, in my eyes. But I really am not good enough. I physically cannot fulfill what they need, and it really does fucking hurt. I do know how terrible this mindset is, but I truly don’t care. Because others will agree with one particular part. *I cannot fulfill their wants or needs* I’m asexual. I don’t do kissing or sex. Or any touching that way at all with them. But they are so hungry for that. :( (Because Dreaming Costs Money My Dear) Oh gosh. I’m just gonna say some of that word by word really. It’s so stressful being in this relationship. I feel so fucking hopeless, but she has a passion burning still. I’m so fascinated that even though she’s had so much shit happen in her life, she has stayed burning and full with life. I can’t change. I’m burned out and I can’t be lit again. My candle has melted. But hers is full and burning bright. I want it to stay that way, forever. (Shame) Oh gosh. I can’t even express how ashamed I feel. I’ve hurt *everyone* around me with this habit but I still keep going because it feels so.. Pleasured? I have a sense of relief when I first do it, but that guilt flows in every single time.. (Bag of Bones) I honestly can’t even say anything. Every relationship ends. I can’t hold on. It’s just like he said. I can’t keep my friendships lasting. I can’t believe those words still haunt me, but they do. They eat me up inside. They are true. I can’t keep the relationships going. They end and I feel hurt again. I add weight onto my pain. (Liquid Smooth) Can’t relate to this one. :/ My prime ended a long long time ago. (Last Words of a Shooting Star) Haha. You know it. I’m super fucking suicidal.. I really feel so alone and hopeless, Sitting here in my bed, crying constantly, feeling too worn to move. I just want to go away, without causing pain to others. I want to, but I know I cannot and forever will not be able to. (I Want You) I want them. I keep going on about them in this rant things. I will always want them. My only chance of getting them back is if I’m the last one, even them…I doubt they would even actually get with me. I can’t let go. My heart is dedicated to them. (Square) The desire for them to prioritize me, like I do them is overwhelming. I want them to love me again. I want our love to light again. I’ve changed how myself for them. I have changed every little dying part of me for them. I stopped making everything about mha. I stopped talking too much. I covered up the parts of my body they hated. I tried to stop being annoying. I tried to want to kiss them. I’ve tried so hard. I’m waiting anxiously for them to notice me and love me. But as much as I want to ignore the painful and heartbreaking truth..I’m fully aware that they will never love me like once before.. (A Burning Hill) I’m so tired man.. Life has gotten so out of shape. I need to fucking give up on repairing things. I need to give up on trying to be liked. I need to give up on him.. I want to go back to when I didn’t have to fucking worry about everyone hating me. The simpler times where me and you could stay in bed in cuddle while your siblings do whatever or go on walks or cycling. Such a time is long gone now, But I long for it to come back. (Your Best American Girl) I can’t relate to this one too much. Besides changing the shit outta myself for them. But the fashion was for myself. To whoever read all this.. Thank you so much..
Never heard shame before so I went to go listen to the full thing and I am so shocked. My mouth dropped when I listened to the lyrics like it clicked so instantly when I heard them.
sameee, it quickly became my fav mitski song. at first, the whole melody and atmosphere of the song kinda scared me, but as you te used to it, it’s actually very comforting
Last Words Of a Shooting Star hit a lot harder then it should have. I’m not like that anymore but I used to be. I remember wanting to just go cleanly and it not make much a difference to anyone. Now I just like the way the song sounds, going smoothly out, but not in that same way. There’s something so simple yet absolutely beautiful about that song that I just can’t explain.
I relate to class of 2013,nobody,i bet on loosing dogs,dreaming costs money my dear ,bag of bones abd shame (dw i ain't self harming) pink in the night(though i cann stll love this person)nvm full on relate to pink in the night
I’m aroace, romance repulsed. And as I was watching this video I was mainly thinking about why I would relate to mitski’s music. I’m still not entirely sure, but I find it nice that her music can resonate with so many kinds of people.

im soo glad wife is included on this list, ppl dont usually put that song on these videos... also it was painfully accurate lol
I LOVE WIFE ITS MY FAVORITE
I love wife.
i always thought that "because dreaming costs money" was associated with immigrant or just parents in general sacrificing everything to give you a good life.
same😭
SAME
it could also mean that! music is a form of art, and art is subjective.

im not american but I live here and I had a long period of time where I was questioning my identity and who I was
I still am tbh
im arab but i look and sound white and i relate to u sm oml
Pink In the Night is my absolute fav but I'm lucky enough to have those emotions for someone who feels the same, definitely been through it where that wasn't the case though.
Thank you for describing Class of 2013 the way you did. People never put it into that much detail!!! Thank you so much :)

Exactly this video was so good
my favorite song is "liquid smooth" and the videos I watch of these always have something to do with beauty for liquid smooth
The two slow dances was so, accurate it nearly made me cry
Last words of a shooting star
Yes I am, and yes I do, yea that too. It feels like I’m alone but surrounded by people who have been told to love me. I don’t have friends that I can be comfortable and talk to, my family loves me since were family and not necessarily because I’m me. I could give the world to someone.

It’s just that I gave up on everyone because everyone gave up on me.
I haven’t woken up without being tired in 5 years… I’m missing waking up with energy. I struggle to leave bed, besides brushing my teeth I just sit all day and cry. I’m worthless to society. I’ve written many suicide notes, but I always end up burning them.

this is literally the best “what mitski song says about you”. thank u sm, it was rlly helpful
So glad you think so

I bet on losing dogs is definitely one of my favourites and always has been, and at the start i liked because I related to it and had a lover who didn't like me back (two times as well!), but now I like to listen to it to remind myself of how I no longer have to keep lying to myself to make the situation better, and how I'm free from them.
FINALLY SQUARE IS INCLUDED😭😭 it's actually one of my favs thank u sm
even the description fits what I felt/feel goddamn👩🦽
Oh my god the description on Your Best American Girl was so accurate it physically pained me
I cant even listen to Shame, it makes me so anxious because it reminds me too much of my own self destructive habits and how I’ve destroyed myself from the inside out
i think youre the first person to have included square and it is just as painful and accurate as i had hoped lmao good job
You described ‘I Want You’ so perfectly :’) I’m in that situation right now and it’s so hard to handle. All I can do I except it and enjoy my time with this person but it would take so much force and impossible energy to make them mine.

1:53 the fact tht the picture is Yukari and George. Genius.
OMG FINALLY PINK IN THE NIGHT
your best american girl really hit a nerve. i was in a toxic relationship and i impulsively decided to look through his following.. only to find girls who looked nothing like me. white, blue eyed, blonde. as an asian girl with black hair, small dark brown eyes, i started hating myself so much. i tried doing my makeup like them, anything to get close to them and started arguments all the time with him about them. i tried changing my clothes, i put on so much makeup even my brother said it just looked *tacky*. but since we've broken up i've gotten better and learned to better embrace who i naturally am, although i do listen to the song to cope :')
The one for "Two slow dancers" is painfully accurate 🧍🏻♀️
class of 2013 is so accurate. i relate to it that way and also i’m absolutely terrified that when i move to nyc i’m going to fail and i’ll have to move back home and become dependent on my mom again
i love how you put the characters that match with the songs
edit: omg your best american girl hit so hard. i relate with every single word of this song, it means so much to me. you literally described me in there
omg kagura for square is so accurate 😭 i’d also say i want you fits her too!
nice interpretations :0
Thank u!
this one was the most accurate omg sobbing and you mentioned the woc struggle sobbing ily
My favorites are geyser, townie and Crack baby
YOURE SO LUCKY YOU GOT TO SEE MITSKI!!
2:57 is my favorite Mitski song :')
Same here
Same
3:10 the fact you used devilman crybaby.... my heart ouch
UGHHH you’ve perfectly described ALLL OF THEMMMMMM I love you
"A burning Hill, last words of a shooting star and two slow dancers"
Those songs help me realize.
I'm scared. I'm so scared
never heard literally any of these songs but I trust your interpretations
weirdly enough, my favorite is last words of a shooting star and I’m definitely not suicidal. I love life and a lot about it
Really great video! But here’s the thing that I have. As someone who isn’t really into like love atm some songs have different feeling for me :) for example, I bet on loosing dogs is more to me like I hope on something I know is falling apart. I know it’s probs useless info but I really like mitski’s songs and hope some people can relate to me
I completely understand, and after my 6 month…”getaway” I feel like some of my analysis are not accurate. I think should’ve offered one in the romantic sense and the other in just a general sense. The reason for that is that I can see I Bet on Losing Dogs as continuously casting your hopes and dreams and being let down when you catch.
Theses are so specific and so relatable :,)
okay okay this hurts but in a good way lol
This got more popular than expected so thank you all!!!
Here’s my discord if any of you guys ever want to talk: crankinswanginbangin#4528 (going to be honest here, I’m probably not going to message first so…)
Love you guys and stay safe!
I love how u accurately describe what our favorite mitski song says about us
Thanks for your discord. Do you know if theres a discord for INFPs. Its the personnalitie type who loves mitski song.
This is the best video of this genre i've seen it actually goes in depth compared to others that just say "you feel like the second choice" which feels too vague or surface level for a mitski song
A burning hill and I bet on loosing dogs are some of my favorite Mitsuki songs.
these descriptions are amazing
THE PINK IN THE NIGHT ONE IS SO ACCURATE HELP 💀
i hate how specific and accurate two slow dancers was
For me, 2013 means something different. My mom died when I was 5, and the song feels like envy for all the people that had a caring, and alive mother.
2:48
ok.
your best american girl hit me so hard. still a beginner to mitski's music but i love a lot of her songs and this format was really introspective and sad but interesting! i love seeing people analyze songs
retired from sad new career in business is a masterpiece
"oh cool, another mitski video"
*starts crying because of how horribly accurate it is*
oh my god- some of then were like very relatable to me i’ve now started to cry
As someone who’s fav is I bet on losing dogs I feel very called out by the fact that it perfectly described my situation 💀💀
I’m just getting into Mitski, So I don’t know many of her(?) songs, but I can say these descriptions all seem painfully accurate.
(Excuse my little rant thing here)
(This goes in order of the songs in the video)
(Class of 2013 description)
I love my mom but she has truly damaged me with her words. I want to call her my best friend and that I tell her everything but.. She just says all these things I don’t think she realizes are so offensive..:(
(I bet on losing dogs)
I still love my ex. I’m so fucking upset about it. I can’t help it. We where together for so fucking long and then it just ended. But I can’t move on.
(Two Slow Dancers)
Again, I miss my ex. I really thought it would last forever. We had our whole future planned, All the way to our end. I don’t.. I don’t know where it all fell apart. I miss that relationship we had. We barely even talk now.
(Pearl Driver)
Do I even have to say much?.. I’ve changed so much. I was so wrapped up in one thing that I’ve become an outsider. All I can do now is just sit there and listen. I want to talk, but I can’t do it. I can’t do anything.
(Circle)
I hope my gf doesn’t see this, it’s something personal that I’m really just coming to terms with.
I’m in a relationship, I thought she was the love of my life. It worked out at first. I really tried to, but.. Their still there. They still have my heart. I know I don’t have theirs..But they will forever have mine..
(Humpty)
… I don’t think I can even say much. I really fucking messed up man. The things I did to myself has fucking ruined everything. I’m falling apart.
(Pink in the Night)
My god. I think about them so much. Every single night. I love them so much. I loved them and now I can’t stop. But I ruined. Ofc I fucking did. It’s me. I ruin everything. Now I have to sit here and regret every fucking thing I did wrong. Every dumb mistake I made. Especially that one..
(Wife)
It’s true. They are the reason my existence has any little meaning, in my eyes. But I really am not good enough. I physically cannot fulfill what they need, and it really does fucking hurt. I do know how terrible this mindset is, but I truly don’t care. Because others will agree with one particular part. *I cannot fulfill their wants or needs* I’m asexual. I don’t do kissing or sex. Or any touching that way at all with them. But they are so hungry for that. :(
(Because Dreaming Costs Money My Dear)
Oh gosh. I’m just gonna say some of that word by word really.
It’s so stressful being in this relationship. I feel so fucking hopeless, but she has a passion burning still. I’m so fascinated that even though she’s had so much shit happen in her life, she has stayed burning and full with life. I can’t change. I’m burned out and I can’t be lit again. My candle has melted. But hers is full and burning bright. I want it to stay that way, forever.
(Shame)
Oh gosh. I can’t even express how ashamed I feel. I’ve hurt *everyone* around me with this habit but I still keep going because it feels so.. Pleasured? I have a sense of relief when I first do it, but that guilt flows in every single time..
(Bag of Bones)
I honestly can’t even say anything. Every relationship ends. I can’t hold on. It’s just like he said. I can’t keep my friendships lasting. I can’t believe those words still haunt me, but they do. They eat me up inside. They are true. I can’t keep the relationships going. They end and I feel hurt again. I add weight onto my pain.
(Liquid Smooth)
Can’t relate to this one. :/ My prime ended a long long time ago.
(Last Words of a Shooting Star)
Haha. You know it. I’m super fucking suicidal.. I really feel so alone and hopeless, Sitting here in my bed, crying constantly, feeling too worn to move. I just want to go away, without causing pain to others. I want to, but I know I cannot and forever will not be able to.
(I Want You)
I want them. I keep going on about them in this rant things. I will always want them. My only chance of getting them back is if I’m the last one, even them…I doubt they would even actually get with me. I can’t let go. My heart is dedicated to them.
(Square)
The desire for them to prioritize me, like I do them is overwhelming. I want them to love me again. I want our love to light again. I’ve changed how myself for them. I have changed every little dying part of me for them. I stopped making everything about mha. I stopped talking too much. I covered up the parts of my body they hated. I tried to stop being annoying. I tried to want to kiss them. I’ve tried so hard. I’m waiting anxiously for them to notice me and love me. But as much as I want to ignore the painful and heartbreaking truth..I’m fully aware that they will never love me like once before..
(A Burning Hill)
I’m so tired man.. Life has gotten so out of shape. I need to fucking give up on repairing things. I need to give up on trying to be liked. I need to give up on him.. I want to go back to when I didn’t have to fucking worry about everyone hating me. The simpler times where me and you could stay in bed in cuddle while your siblings do whatever or go on walks or cycling. Such a time is long gone now, But I long for it to come back.
(Your Best American Girl)
I can’t relate to this one too much. Besides changing the shit outta myself for them. But the fashion was for myself.
To whoever read all this.. Thank you so much..
I can’t just relate to one sadly.🙄
We’re like- the same person yet I don’t know who you are, regardless I hope you have a good night, afternoon or day
Currently crying to Mitski singing 18 seconds of each songs
as a humpty stan... ouch
The Humpty and A Burning Hill really hit close
PFFT CLASS OF 2013, WHO COULD LOVE THAT SONG?? me. and also idk why but i got excited by the tbhk photos
when i tell u ‘i bet on losing dogs’ is spot on
yo y los que brillan rosa en la noche, buceadores de perlas, jorobada, últimas palabras de una estrella fugaz, bolsa de huesos y lastima cuando suena
Never heard shame before so I went to go listen to the full thing and I am so shocked. My mouth dropped when I listened to the lyrics like it clicked so instantly when I heard them.
sameee, it quickly became my fav mitski song. at first, the whole melody and atmosphere of the song kinda scared me, but as you te used to it, it’s actually very comforting
@@yoruuluv yeah I agree. The song is pretty interesting I really like it
HELP THE LAST WORDS OF A SHOOTING STAR IS ACTUALLY REALLY ACCURATE 😭
PLEASE STIP TORMENTING ME
this is the first one i've found that features Pink in the Night and *GOD*
last words of a shooting star hit deep
thank you for featuring more than just her most popular songs lmao
STOP WHY IS IT SO ACCURATE
this is so personal its attacking even my bones
A burning hill is disgustingly accurate
USING AKIRA AND RYO FOR I WANT YOU IS SO ACCURATE AND HEARTBREAKING OMG I'M SOBBING
as a person who has trichotillomania, I can relate to the ‘Shame’ description a lot lol
NOT LAST WORDS OF A SHOOTING STAR OML
Someone who actually added the song square in one of these!! This song really is so relatable honestly and it’s so underrated as well 😕
I feel deeply called out by last words of a shooting star
I agree w class of 2013 but would also add that you have a fear of growing up n stuff ykwim fear the future
class of 2013 ain’t even my favorite one but it was the most relatable thing ever 💀
Last Words of a Shooting Star is my favorite because of the lyrics and the delivery but yes also what you said 👍🏻
Class of 2013 is too accurate
Last Words Of a Shooting Star hit a lot harder then it should have. I’m not like that anymore but I used to be. I remember wanting to just go cleanly and it not make much a difference to anyone. Now I just like the way the song sounds, going smoothly out, but not in that same way. There’s something so simple yet absolutely beautiful about that song that I just can’t explain.
I always realize how much fireworks is underrated
I relate to class of 2013,nobody,i bet on loosing dogs,dreaming costs money my dear ,bag of bones abd shame (dw i ain't self harming) pink in the night(though i cann stll love this person)nvm full on relate to pink in the night
I’m aroace, romance repulsed. And as I was watching this video I was mainly thinking about why I would relate to mitski’s music. I’m still not entirely sure, but I find it nice that her music can resonate with so many kinds of people.
shame, last words of a shooting star, my bodys made of crushed little stars, and eric r my fav mitski songs
Finally one that mentions the importance of the p/woc experience in the your best American girl one 😩
the way you described bag of bones and a burning hill is way too accurate, it felt like you were inside my mind
