Lyrics:
You're growing tired of me
You love me so hard and I still can't sleep
You're growing tired of me
And all the things I don't talk about
Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch
It's just that I fell in love with a war
And nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my hand
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch
There's a hole that you fill
You fill, you fill
But it's just that I fell in love with a war
And nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my hand
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Just to watch it glow

It's taken me 2 weeks of listening to this song to realize that "a pearl" is likely a metaphor for trust issues. A pearl is created when a particle, usually sand, gets stuck in an oyster and the oyster builds layers and layers of calcium around it. It's building walls around what hurts/irritates it- bruh.
I didn't realize that good job 😲
ahh that's such a good interpretation of it! never thought of it like that.
To me it's emotional barries the person created bc of trauma
It's just truama of any type, as someone with PTSD (from a highly abusive relationship and surviving a mass shooting) I've always felt this song best describes the trust issues, hypervigilance, and emotional distance I've experienced ever after, especially with romantic partners who don't fully understand (or feel like, "set your previous baggage aside").
Everytime I hear this song I just instantly think of the relationship of me and mother, I never had a good relationship with her. She suffered so much but she emotionally abuses me so much that I need to project my emotions in a negative way just to get my point across. She has hurt so much that I grew use to it. Now she wants to repair the damage relationship we have but I just can’t seem to ignore the past and I’ve just gotten so use to arguing and the abuse that I feel that’s the only form of love I get from my mother. She completely breaks me when she tells me she loves me, I want to believe her but every cell in my body doubts that she even know the concept of loving her only son.
I have almost the same relationship with my mom..and now i can see that she's trying to be nicer but it feels really weird.I can't seem to like it when she's nice to me because it just feels lame. Seeing her acting nice gives me mixed feelings..like..i guess it's good? but it looks fake and as much as i would like to genuinely appreciate the change..i can't .She just gives me a really hard time...
It's nice that your mom is trying to change but the sad part it's that every single thing she did to you has its consequences..hope you're doing good and you're feeling alright 🫀take care ‼️
Hey this comment really resonated with me, I have almost the exact same relationship with my mother and this song hits so hard in that spot. I feel understood.
me with my own mother
i’m in this exact same relationship with my mom and it still continues today. i’m sorry your going through this as well, it has completely taken a toll on me and it makes me sad someone feels the same way. i would never wish it someone. we’ll get through it together
This comment definitely hit home, my father after so many years, after all my life, is trying to reconnect and repair our relationship but I will never be able to forget the past. I cant ever see him being a good father towards me, i always see the emotional abuse and toxicity he treated me with all my life.
You're growing tired of me
You love me so hard and I still can't sleep
You're growing tired of me
And all the things I don't talk about
Sorry I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry I can't take your touch
It's just that I fell in love with a war
Nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my hand
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Sorry I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry I can't take your touch
There's a hole that you fill
You fill, you fill
But it's just that I fell in love with a war
And nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my hand
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Just to watch it glow
good job by doing this ❤️❤️
thanks
1:41 gets me every time :’)
hits me like a car 😋
Ikr omg it’s so good
it’s addictive too tho
I love the way her voice and the way she really sings at that moment.. don’t get me wrong this song hits hard but it’s also so calming and makes me feel like not as alone..?
The best part
screaming, crying, shaking, jumping on my bed, falls of stairs, biting pillows and crying again THIS IS A MASTERPIECE😭😭😭😭😭😭
i lost it at the ''jumping on my bed''😭💀
REAL

(For those too lazy to read the description)
You’re growing tired with me.
You love me so hard, and I still can see...
You’re growing tired with me, and all the things I don’t talk about.
Sorry I don’t want your touch.
It’s not that I don’t want you.
Sorry I can’t take the touch
It’s just that-
I fell in love with a war,
And nobody told me it ended!
And it left a pearl in my head,
And I roll it around every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that’s where I go...
Sorry I don’t want your touch.
It’s not that I don’t want you.
Sorry I can’t take the touch...
There’s a hole that you fill, you fill, you fill...
Well, it’s just that,
I fell in love with a war,
And nobody told me it ended!
And it left a pearl in my head,
And I roll it around every night, just to watch it glow.
Every night, baby that’s where I go...
Just to watch it glow...
Love you

“You’re growing tired of me” and “sorry i cant take your touch” hit me so hard
I’m seeing so many arguments about what she wrote the song about and how who’s wrong about what. Does anyone stop and think about the beauty of publishing music is that it’s up to interpretation, it’s an art it’s opinionated. It doesn’t have to mean the same thing to you as it did for her when writing it. It hits everyone in different ways.
THIS---
YES 👏👹
fr evrybodys being so toxic :(
This! How about people just use critical thinking for 2 seconds and see that art is open to interpretation.
This! Mitski said to have your interpretations of her songs
this describes the relationship I have with my mother
Ayo we twinnin??
Ayo triplets 🧍
quadruplets??
Same besty
Same
Mitski never disappoints
SO TRUE
Yes
ever
Yes
facts
“It’s just that I fell in love with a war, and nobody told me it ended” chills
OKAY THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION:
THE WAR IS TRAUMA, AND SHE NEVER HAD SOMEONE TO REASSURE HER THAT SHE WAS OKAY AND THAT IT WASNT STILL GOING ON, SO WHEN SHE SAYS "I FELL IN LOVE WITH A WAR NOBODY TOLD ME ENDED" SHES SAYING THAT SHES STILL FIGHTING A WAR WITHOUT KNOWING THAT ITS OVER
Yes, absolutely. "A war" is a good analogy for trauma and/or conflict, and "nobody told me it ended" because you can't just unlearn the coping mechanisms that helped you survive such a traumatic event, they stick with you. Future partners often have difficulty understanding this, they feel like "we'll I didn't do that", they just don't understand that those survival techniques are imbeded in your psyche and personality they linger. The moment you're triggered you're "there again" in the middle of the worst experiences of your life, and it just seems like an overreaction or dramatic to outside observers, they don't recognize you can't help it, or just STOP.
Finalmente alguém entendeu certo🙌
“I fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended” I absolutely love how much this line put me back to that feeling
“ it’s just that I fell in love with a war, nobody told me it ended” That part never fails to tear me up how bad I can relate to it:,)
It was just a platonic relationship but God damn this hits close. Especially "sorry i don't want your touch" and "i fell in love with a war". If you want me to elaborate then i'll explain everything
elaborate
K so long story short they were toxic and would physically hurt me like kick my shins and my legs and even slapped me once and then I told them I liked them and everything went downhill i ended the friendship and now they're saying that I manipulate and gaslight people
@@c3l3ry_exe i feel bad for you
This song is one of the only things that makes all of my trauma feel seen. Like granules of sand it accumulated over the years, inflaming the inside of my skull, forcing me to try to coat it and make me it into something "beautiful", or really less unbearable. I roll it around in my hand, hypnotized by the sheen of this new shape it's taken. I don't know if it's better or healthier for me, but it makes me a bit more in control of when I engage with it and that's all that matters.

Beautiful said
you have so eloquently and artfully articulated how so many, myself included, feel every single day on such a visceral level. thank you so much for this. I hope things have gotten easier.💕
the obsession one develops over time with your own trauma and how can egocentric it can turned you is beatifully expresed in the words "i fell in love with a war", indeed every night i go there and dream horrible nightmares about my trauma
*”theres a hole that you fill, you fill, you fill”*
*sobs in abandonment issues and emotional instability which makes me seem very codependent and very clingy in relationships which causes them to leave me*
I swear if I see one more person saying “I wish she said I fell in love with a woman 🥺” this song is about PTSD from toxic relationships it’s not a wlw song. You already did this to strawberry blonde don’t do it to this song either
(Sept 17 2021) Edit: I should have said a queer song, I’m not targeting wlw specificity, as a queer person with PTSD this song helps me cope and it’s annoying when someone turns it into a queer song
Thank you
Nobody said that babes.
When did anyone say this ._.
I see more comments complaining about the “lgbtq+ comments” than the actual lgbtq+ comments
Yes but music can be interpreted anywhere you can't tell people what they should think it means
this song reminds me of someone holding onto something so important but is on the verge of letting go but they cant let go or else something bad will happen to them
0:43 THIS SHIT GO HARDDDDDD
She is the female equivalent of Kurt Cobain. I can’t compare the two however, because of how BEYOND unique Mitski is! I know it’s an obvious statement, but she created all of this, it all came from her brilliant mind! She deserves 10x the recognition she is getting now. She should be all over the radios and top 100 charts. She’s got more talent in her eyelashes than most of the current top musical icons do at all. Please make music until you die Mitski!
Ew no, dont compare her to cobain. Mitski is Mitski :P.
@@ratatouisvuitton864 ik this is old, but i think they were doing it because they have such unique styles of music
hi do you have any song recommendations that i can listen to that have this particular theme /feeling
@@ratatouisvuitton864 'ew' ????? are you ok
the first time I heard this song I thought that it reminded me of nirvana!!
Cries in emotional and physical abuse
me: hey mitski how’s it going
mitski:
me:
me: yea
this comment made me choke
*cries in gay*
*tbh same*
This is about a toxic relationship you dense rat
you’re not quirky, this song is about a toxic relationship like the other person said
@@user-yr5yl6zt5l and how does it being about a toxic relationship prevent it from being relatable to a gay person quickly
@@user-yr5yl6zt5l dude they never said that the song was about being gay, I think they met that they ARE gay dumbass
I hope everyone here struggling finds hope, faith, and freedom. I hope you are able to let go of the little things and the things that haunt your sleep and your wake, I hope you will be able to let go, you will let go.
sometimes it hurts much,
The pain and anguish in this song is palpable. The scars of trauma make it so difficult to love and be loved, especially when the smallest of things can reopen those wounds
This. Its a process that one has to tackle and go of- the discomfort- but it's needed
This hits harder when you were always in toxic friendships and you have trust issues with your new friends
The most advanced American songwriter
isnt she japanese-american?
@@Nataronimacaroni that still makes her american.
@@winter9285 she's literally a woman of color-
@@Nataronimacaroni ......are you saying because shes a woman of colour she isnt american?? .... yikes
@@jubjub4603 dude but she isnt american and her music is her struggles being a japanese-american woman 😐
maybe she is the pearl i roll around in my head sometimes
“I fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended” is by far my favorite analogy for ptsd, this song means a lot to me, thank you mitski
therapy: expensive :c
mitski: free ! :D
❤️❤️❤️❤️❗❗
"sorry i don't want your touch , it's not like i don't want you" hits so hard god i really I fell in love with a war
this song reminds me so much of me and my parents relationship. i know they're tired of me. they're tired of me being depressed and suicidal. i never open up to them bc i know they'll hate me even more for it. they'll judge me like they always do, staying it's because they love me. i hate when they touch me. they always try to guilt me into hugs and it makes me so unbelievably uncomfortable. but that "it's not that i don't want you" and "there's a hole that you fill" resonates with me so much. their validation is no other, i seek it, knowing i won't ever get it. i crave their love but they don't crave mine. i fell in love with the idea of a perfect family, one where they love me. one where they see me as their son, rather than their daughter. this whole song is us. they fight me and try to make me who i'm not, and it will forever scar me in a way they can't imagine. i cant sleep at night sometimes because of it. i cry myself to sleep imagining what life would be like if i was different. would they love me? probably not. i'd still be a fuck up like i am now. what if i could be just like my brother? they love him more then they've ever loved me. he's the son they've always wanted, not me. he's smart, he listens, he's happy. he can be the boy they want. he'll bring home a beautiful girl while i hide the boy i like. why cant i be like him. that's my internal war. i never stop thinking about that. they wouldn't be tired of my if i was like him.
*sobs in deep rooted trauma*
oh sweetie , pls get better soon :]
dw its past ya now and i know its hard to leave it behind but its ok b things will get better dw :]
Ouch.
Ouch.
Mitski>>>>>>>
1:46 is my absolute favorite, it scratches that part in my brain 😩
*“It’s just that I fell in love with a war… and nobody told me it ended.”*
Damn. I love this line!
no but its the fact that he gave me a necklace with a pearl and i roll it around and think about this song 😭😭
this hits different when you were with a person who manipulated and lied to you for 2 years.
Left a relationship and just realized I was groomed and used, I’m literally crying in a library rn and it sucks but I hope you’re okay
i thought this song was abt trust issues lol
@@dione__fernnn it is amias ami is saying they/she/he has had someone lie to them/her/him the song is about being lied to /abused developing trust issues that is affecting mitskis other relationships
Just remember that this song isn't about a WLW relationship!!
Nobody said it is babes, you dont have to bring it up.
technically it could be, based on the person listening to it ^-^
(edit: I meant that if the person was a lesbian/bi girl, they could've ad a past abusive relationship with a female partner)
@@blueberrytarts2330 they’re talking ab the original reason not what ppl might interpret it as.
@@blueberrytarts2330 stfu
@@blueberrytarts2330 Shut it
This is so unique to me. She has a whole ass orchestra following her beautiful voice in the last half of the song
This song is so perfect for a certain Pearl I know from a beautiful show
“ i fell in love with a war”
Exactly how binge eating feels, shame, guilt, sadness, depression,low self esteem, depression all for this pleasing feeling of flavor
And its impossible too stop.
Mitski has literally changed my life
THIS SONG IS GIVING ME SO MUCH ENERGY
therapy
Not me playing this for an hour while crying
My comfort song because of the verse "You're getting tired of me" "Sorry I don't want your touch, its not that I dont want you, its just that i fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended" dude this brings back so many memories of being the second option and feeling annoying but keep continuing to want attention because no one gives any to you, feeling neglected because of who you are. Man.
this song is exactly what it's like trying to move on after finding that first love
“Sorry I don’t want your touch it’s not that I don’t want you.” Most relatable thing ever sung.
i feel sorry for anyone that relates to this song
This is such a comfort song
Hope it gives you comfort in jail
@@Chulpansilu what?
Therapists should fr start asking questions like "what song describes you the best" it would make everything so much easier
frr
ive been sa'd and every time the lyric "sorry i don't want you're touch its not that i don't want you ...sorry i can't take your touch" hits hard
Who needs expensive therapy when you can unlock thousands of memoryd that you locked away by listening to this song
EDIT - 2/6/22 - i go to therapy now
1:43 hits me so hard I love that part sm and its so underrated
when the "sorry I don't want your touch" hit, IT HIT HARD
There is a hole that you fill, you fill, you fill...
Just sent this to my guitar teacher,so i can finally play mitski on my guitar.I play now 4 months ago.
This is the most powerful song I have ever heard omg
This song hits so hard for me because I was in a 5 year emotionally abusive relationship and even now thats im out of it, I still dwell on it and have a hard time with new relationships. This song perfectly embodies my trauma and it is so special to me
AND IT LEFT A PEAAAAAARL IN MY HAAAAAAAAAND
it left a pearlllll in my hand-
this got me spinning like a ballerina
This song hits so close to home I literally cried the first time I heard it. Except for me it was my addiction and the life that came with it, running the streets of west Baltimore, being almost killed, shot at, kidnapped, traumatized, overdosing a million times, waking up on the side of road bc my “friends” left me for dead and took everything I own yet somehow always finding my way out of it, outsmarting whoever it was taking advantage of me, surviving. I was so addicted to the power play almost more so than the fentynal and meth. I’ve been sober a year and a half and I still relate so much to just looking at that one glimmer of excitement and goodness through a sea of complete suffering. I saw some things nobody should ever see in their entire life and there’s still a part of me, that always will romanticize the absolute chaos.
There is a hole that you fill, you fill, YOU FILLLL
ITS JUST THAT I FELL IN LIVE WITH A WARRRRR AND NOBODY TOLD ME IT ENDEDDD
1:41 THEEEEREES A HOLE THAT YOU FILD, YOU FILD, YOU FIIILLLD!!! BUT ITS JUST THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH A WAAAAAARRR!!!!
Y'ALL I'M SO HAPPY THIS IS FINALLY BEING DISCOVERED
my stupid heartbroken ass listening to all the sad relatable mitski songs instead of trying to get over her 💔 lol
THERES A HOLE THAT YOU FILL YOU FILL YOU FILLL Bye these lyrics make me cry
PTSD anthem
I dunno man, I've got BPD and resonate with this particular song a concerning lot.
God this song is just an absolute masterpiece like I have an outer body excpiriemce when I listen to it
mitski's only crime is making this song so short
WHY DID THIS TAKE ME 5 YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG FROM MITSKI I LOVE HER SONGS SO FARTING MUCH OMGG
Oh wig?
God I love mitski so much she is so underrated
"You're growing tired of me,
And all the things I don't talk about"
