"i wonder how other people live, how they keep it up when today is FINALLY done, there's another day to come, and another day to comes then another day to come... I'll pretend it ends tomorrow" JESUS. this lyric represents burnout and depression so damn well, wow
IKR the claustrophobic piano key walls while confusing piano music plays, her literally trying to find the right key of the melody to someone's heart, and then at the end the red heart street light symbolizing love switching to green meaning she finally let go of trying. Truly amazing but hey what else to expect from the goddess Mitski
Like everyone else, here's my interpretation. This encapsulates living with functional depression perfectly, at least in my experience. To keep yourself from wanting to die, you start to give yourself something tangible to live for, like an event you want to go to, a goal to achieve, etc. This unhealthy cycle repeats, once that event has passed or that goal is reached, you have this need to find something else to live towards, because without it, you can't give yourself the need to live. Eventually, there are no more goals to strive for and nothing new you want to do, you've done everything that is worthy enough to give you the reason to live. That is when you move onto people. Having someone as your reason to be alive is so incredibly damaging to both parties, not just yourself anymore. "I need you to love me more" suggests that this is person is your romantic partner, of course, but how the chorus continues illustrates how burdening it can be to have a persons love be why you live. The repetitiveness of the lyrics along with the seemingly chaotic piano and increasing tempo gives this anxiety and urgency to the listener, much like how you'd feel if this person does not love you more and more and more then you'll lose your reason to live and you'll be left with nothing.
Exactly like to escape yourself your mind your depression with the love of others to distract you have others love you when you can’t love yourself the high of a romantic euphoria from going back down to a deep depression you can’t escape
This song might be about someone loving you but as soon as I hear it, I imagine that I’m singing it to myself. Like a plea from my own body for me to take better care of myself. Such phenomena can be described as the mitski effect; welcome to my ted talk
YUP SAME, im having a hard month but today i realized a lot of it is the lack of self love and i found myself sing this to myself on repeat because yes i need to fill ME up
This song is beautiful because it functions on so many levels. On the one hand at face value it’s about a relationship, wanting someone to be so in love with you, with such an outpouring of emotion, that it “makes you whole” or fills you up, and drowns out your insecurities. On the other, it’s about needing to love yourself more. The entire video she is interacting with iterations of herself: she’s driving herself on the motorcycle, she’s asking the doll her to let her in, she’s mimicking the poses of her drawn self. She wants to change via self love, but doesn’t know how.
its about her relationship to artistic/ self-worth under capitalism too, similar to Working for the Knife. She's broken on a hospital bed while she watches herself getting applause after a performance on TV. She's lost in a hall of piano keys, but they aren't they "key" to the house where her performative self lives (the puppet refusing to let her inside wears her 2018 live performance outfit). She's re-performing artistic renditions of herself, slamming her face into the painting to get flowers rained on her. Is she begging for selflove, or is she asking an audience to validate her existence? a part of the lyrics is "when I'm done singing this song I will have to find something else to do to keep me here." It's a common turmoil for artists under capitalism. You put yourself (especially your trauma) into art as a mean of expression, only to have it commodified-- valued by money and clout, instead of being valued for everything that you are
my way and how i interpret this song : i think this song is about staying alive to feel loved, or have a relationship or to be loved. "i need you to love me more" means, to love someone more and more everyday so everyday is even more worth to live, "drown it out" is to drown out the bad things in life. the other person mitski will find, is the next person she will be in a relationship with, because the other person already gave all their love and now she has to find a new lover so she can stay alive and feel loved. "how do other people do it", "another day to come" is just her asking herself , how other people can live with only a certain lover and a certain way of living, and the repetition of every day. how can people live like this? this song is about someone battleing the life they're living and the suicidal thoughts or tendencies by relationships. even though they wanted to start a new life ( as seen in the start, "i will be a new girl") but they failed, so now the repeat their old coping mechanisms and patterns so they find "something else to keep them here", bc finding someone else. sorry if this is repetitive or messy, that's just my way of seeing it!
Your interpretation is completely true, if that's what you see in it. I would say it's about self-love. Which is what everyone needs to learn, before being able to love another. There are a couple of signs in the video that hint to it. 1. The scene in the television, when people are throwing garbage at her while she is performing on stage. This and the lyrics are kinda suggesting that her career is over and she has to look for something new in her life. 2.The puppet (clearly herself) that she is trying to interact with. ...Not letting her in the house, when she can't find the fitting handle to the door. Maybe something off with her communicating to herself? Who knows. 3. The battery pack in the burning newspaper roll. It's coming from the past so maybe she is burned out... 4. The Cleansing in the white room. Again, she interacting with herself in different (power)poses. Fighting with herself. Lying on the floor trying to recover energy. Turning the cold shoulder... Maybe denial... And what not. All stages of the long, hard and (sometimes) painful process, when you go through a crisis and try to find back to your (new)self... But in the end... She's back on the road. And the red (love) traffic sign switches to green. I adore that heart btw! All this is pure self love to me. Not just buying yourself nice things, doing sports or being in a relationship. All fine and good, but truly loving oneself means to tackle the bad stuff as well or you'll never be satisfied. I just heard about mitski yesterday for the first time (found a great video of Boy Jr supposedly from tiktok doing a marina and the diamonds impression mitski style😍) and I must say - this is some intelligent, impressive women and her videos are just uhh. Sooo good.
@@ezraleite7260 Gosh, right. Thank you for pointing this out to me. ❤️ There is definitely a lot of really good music waiting for me here. Btw, if you want to check out the marina mitski impression I mentioned, it's here: ua-cam.com/video/BYQqjj30wT8/v-deo.html At 4min49s. Hope you like it.
i love everyone interpretation!! my own is that she’s in a toxic relationship that she’s ignoring all the red flags but she knows that they’re the only one who would actually not reject her and because she’s insecure she decides that she’d stuck w this person for a long time to feel validated and receive the love she needs
I agree with your interpretation until at the end. But Respectfuly thoguh😅. Mabey it's just her mind playing tricks on her and trying to convince her she will fall into these coping mechanisms. Hence there is a doll always reminding her of her bad traits, like feeling small, helpless, and repetitive. It turnels her vison. But as she says love me more we see her with more pictures of herself. Mabey she is trying to get out of it by reconizing her habbits. (Hence also her copying herposes.) Then we see her stuck her head through the all. She could be trying to thikk outside of the box. And with the water she is reflecting on it. Until finaly she leaves. And what do we see a heart. She has battled her deamons herself and has learned she needs to love herself too. Sence hownwe see her with the jacket riding off alone. She could meet with her lover. But I feel as though it has a more hopeful message. But that's just my optimistic mind.
Mitski makes loneliness sound so fucking epic. I wish my depression was that anthemic. I might get out of bed before noon. I seriously believe that this girl is my generation's answer to Kurt Cobain but hopefully with a happier ending. We don't need any more martyrs.
i'm a somewhat reclusive type also. so i'll shut up now, that took a lot of social energy just to say that ^ ^ except i agree with the hope for a happier ending than kurt's
MITSKI NEVER MISSES I think this song's about valuing yourself on the love of others and using relationships to avoid your problems + the imagery/visuals in this are so good
I personally think it's about her career in music business, like the first few lines indicate she might have chosen wrong thing to pursue. She kinds of regret it and feel tired in the business (this parallels the Working for the Knife lyrics), but want people to "love her more" so that she can continue making music. That's my interpretation, though.... Anyways, I love her music so much and I hope she makes it big and not feel too overwhelmed by her sudden rise in popularity recently.
*is feeling something incredibly specific and i cant put it into words mitski: uploads new song* here, since you can’t do it yourself thank you mitski 🛐

the way i see this, this song is talking about validation and being a “gifted” or “special” person. “i could be a new girl”, referring to how the pressures so much, and you hate it and want to get rid of it, but you can’t. “but when i’m done singing, i’ll have to find something else to keep me here”- nothings enough, you have to constantly put out content and proof that you’re who you’ve been labeled as for others, or you lose everything. “there’s another day to come”, no matter how good you can keep up the illusion that you’re “special”, you have to do it over and over because everyone expects you to, and it’s so tiring. the chorus for me is obsessively repeating how once you’re in that spot you want validation, and want it more and more because once you start getting it you can’t be without it. wanting to be the “special” or “gifted” kid, but the pressures so much and it’s exhausting to keep up, not to mention trying to compete with others, hence the lyric “how do other people live, i wonder how they keep it up”. there’s so many more lyrics i feel like build on this, but it’d be too long. just my personal interpretation :)
EXACTLY bc its like your self-worth is completely based on getting validation from other people that you ~really are~ special or that your work really is good, but then you lose track of the person you are without the achievements and approval
Haven’t witnessed such a profound music video with an ACTUAL video treatment/storyline in so long. Thank you so much for simply being you Mitski, for your artistry and always continuing to strive to find and more importantly ~understand~ the next layer within thy self!
I think this album will be very 80s in general. I generally don't feel too strongly about this aesthetic, but GOD Mitski can make bijna anything perfect.
Ehhh not exactly. I would agree that synthpop has certainly become more mainstream since around 2020, but to categorize it as "the 2020s sound" is quite misleading.
@@RetronicBruh Every production and songwriting cue has been taken from the 80s book; this for me has "peak 80s retro" written all over it. A lot of retro 80s stuff only goes so far, and often the slick production or some other element brings you back into the present. This for me really sounds and *feels* like the 80s.... and I must say, I love it!
If I keep myself at home I won't make the same mistake That I made for fifteen years I could be a new girl I will be a new girl I wish that this would go away But when I'm done singing this song I will have to find something else To do to keep me here Something else to keep me here Here's my hand There's the itch But I'm not supposed to scratch I need you to love me more Love me more, love me more Love enough to fill me up Fill me up, fill me full up I need you to love me more Love me more, love me more Love enough to drown it out Drown it out, drown me out How do other people live?

I feel like she is speaking directly to us, her fans. She is grappling with trying to improve her mental health and finding healthy ways to ease her crippling depression while also being a performer and dealing with her adoring fans that shower her in love which can de-rail the healing process as it is an extremely potent but temporary high that leaves you empty when the curtains close. Truly healing is hard work, it is tempting to just bask in the artificial love of our parasocial relationship with her but just like drugs, its a cycle and the high is never as good as the last so you keep chasing that first high, practice poses you've performed a million times, you're a puppet on a string going through the motions. The solution? Love me more audience! MAYBE if you love me more it will be enough to drown the emptiness out. But at the end she shows she is self aware and all though the words are saying "I need you to love me more!" she is staring into the camera, shaking her head no, telling us, her fans that that's not what she needs, "Please don't do listen to me. This song is my Ego speaking but my trueslf knows the only true happiness comes from doing the hard work to find love internally". But depression is the thief of motivation and self-care is hard and draining. So she's back at square one, depleted of all energy to work on herself so you see her getting back on that motorcycle, the cycle begins again and she surrenders herself once again to the sacharrine, hollowing, conditional love of her fans. not sure how much of this is projection through the lens of my own crippling depression and how much is actually what she's trying to say but this is my interpretation.
you’re definitely keen. i think the second person “you” found in a lot of the lyrics in laurel hell could refer to past lovers as well as fans and critics. all these unresolved emotions of wistfulness, desperation, frustration, and desire that she’s always written about in terms of romance have finally matched with her relationship with her musical audience. and its discomforting and unusual to realize it, but that realization dresses the whole album. also i hope you find a way out of your depression, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
@@VickyDPi not rlly- imagine getting a whole ass psychological script without your perimission about how u are, how ur depression si acting up how ur fame affects u, nobody knows abt that like u, why are they acting like they do, shes not a god but neither a dying person, shes just herself and we should take that as enough, not evaluate her like a character or praise her like shes superior to human kind
wow, i think this is the best interpretation i've heard so far. and if you look carefully enough the video makes sense too that way. so beautifully phrased and well thought i love this comment💗
Ok does anyone else notice at 1:30 that there’s a different melody in the left ear and in the right ear. I was listening with only one headphone on and noticed it then. The right ear is high pitched and is lacking most of the piano notes, while the left side has all the piano
I recently came to terms with my diagnosis of BPD. This song instantly reminded me of it. "But when I’m done singing this song I will have to find something else To do to keep me here" It just reminds me of the complete emptiness I feel when my life is not about other people or I am not loved. It reminds me of how uncomfortable I feel when my sister hasn't said "I love you" for an hour. I feel completely empty. Every time she says it I feel full, but it's temporary. "How do other people live I wonder how they keep it up When today is finally done There’s another day to come" It just never ends. And I know I shouldn't be this way. Like she says, it's an itch I want to scratch.
i know that it probably wasnt the intended meaning of this song but it also hits me right in those bpd wounds. like im begging the people around me to love me just a little bit harder to keep me feeling full just a little bit longer
@@morgandenton4565 I don't think there's anything that indicates it wasn't the intended meaning of the song! I don't want to diagnose people but A LOT of Mitski's music has BPD vibes. She's a very private person but I'm sure she has a pathology of some sort.
I have dependant personality disorder, personally, and I feel that honestly. Like there's just this incessant need to feel like your life is full of love and you're cared for. Especially at the end when Mitski changes the lyrics to "I need you to love me more, love enough to clean me up." There's always a part of you that knows you shouldn't love so irregularly. You want someone to fix it for you. Clean you up. With so much of her music it's just so raw from the perspective of a personality disorder. "I will be the one you need, but wait, I can't be me without you" from Geyser. The raw emotion when she blurts out "I miss you more than anything" in Francis Forever. The first verse of Why Didn't You Stop Me. The earth-shattering loneliness of Nobody as she descends into just repeating the titular line over and over again. "Do, Me, Ti, why not me?" from Washing Machine Heart. So much of her lyricism has helped me to cope and find comfort in her music. It reminds me that I'm not alone in what I'm feeling. As terrifying as it is to have DPD, it isn't something I suffer from on my own. So much of Mitski's music not only helps me come to terms with the way I interact with the world, but to view myself as more human for it as well. TL;DR I love Mitski
I'm so envious and in awe of Mitski's creativity. How does she keep doing thissss??? She's absolutely brilliant and you can't help but love her more with each piece of performamce art she gives us ❤🟢
“If I keep myself at home I won’t make the same mistakes” always makes me feel so much. I was bullied my whole life at school and got pencils thrown at me, got punched and pushed around and called ugly and fat. I started staying home so I didn’t have to Be there. I always thought it was my fault I was picked on and I always stayed home so I didn’t have to make “my mistake”
Had a similar experience throughout all of elementary school. Bullying stopped since I moved to a different part of town and started middle school, but I was a super shitty person and started to just sorta bully and annoy others, was super toxic to my friends plus I had a ton of internalized homophobia so that was fun. Now I'm in HS, changed as a person and got better but I have severe social anxiety and I'm scared to approach people because of all the mistakes I've made. I started skipping classes because I'll just have panic attacks from the littlest thing and then I just start sobbing 💀. Hope things are going better for you Kylie!
there's something i really love about mitski's choreography in her music videos. i find a lot of music videos nonessential to the listening experience, but with mitski's i do think you should try to watch them at least once if you can to really get the full measure of what she's trying to say. there's something about her use of movement and dance that, no matter whether it's uncomfortable, erotic, funny, pained, joyful, or sad, it's not superficial. there's meaning to it.
i just realized this but the song is 3:33 long and that angel number represents "encouragement in making the correct choices in life. And in terms of relationships, if you see this number, that may indicate that it is time for you to make essential changes and choices in your love life." this is what i found but i think that sinks into the song which if im correct i love it. and the song it self is magnificent so yeah. thats what i found lol.
This song sounds like a plea from your body, to heal and clean yourself, to love your yourself and your body, to “become a new girl”. It’s really relatable for me and I love this song so much
1:03 and there's that gesture from working for the knife again! taking a drag from an imaginary cigarette. i associated it with performance and artifice the first go around; it's really cool to see it pop up again and think about what the implications are.
rose icon!! also i think very similarly; with the mimicking of poses from other videos/tour choreography, the trying to unlock the door with the piano keys, the twitter bird, the tour-outfit dressed up puppet of herself...? the fact that shes said often that her "love songs" are often really about her relationship to music/fame (geyser being one i can name off the top of my head) i absolutely think at least the video is abt her relationship to fame/celebrity and how it makes her "feel like everything, it is everything" (paraphrasing what she said in a recent interview) and can also be destroying and damaging to her. she needs her listeners, who are a prism for her art to pass through and then be given the opportunity to perform more, to love her more! to listen, to give her a stage, to keep her filling full! shes often said that she doesnt know what shed do with her life without music, that its not just what she does, but something she HAS to do or else shell die. idk food for thought, i've also listened to it in the past couple of weeks as a straight up heartbreak song
it seems like it’s about feeling pressured to look and act a certain way in order to be loved, because that kind of love is the only thing keeping you going. ik she’s said that a lot of her love songs apply to music/the industry, so with the scene with the piano keys falling it almost seems like it’s a song directed towards us- “I need YOU (the viewer) to love me more,” a pressure to create even when everything’s falling apart
The end with the distorted reflection of herself then could be representative of the false image we see of her in the public eye- her persona for the audience.
SHE'S AN ICON, SHE'S A LEGEND AND SHE IS THE MOMENT

Like everyone else, here's my interpretation. This encapsulates living with functional depression perfectly, at least in my experience. To keep yourself from wanting to die, you start to give yourself something tangible to live for, like an event you want to go to, a goal to achieve, etc. This unhealthy cycle repeats, once that event has passed or that goal is reached, you have this need to find something else to live towards, because without it, you can't give yourself the need to live. Eventually, there are no more goals to strive for and nothing new you want to do, you've done everything that is worthy enough to give you the reason to live. That is when you move onto people. Having someone as your reason to be alive is so incredibly damaging to both parties, not just yourself anymore. "I need you to love me more" suggests that this is person is your romantic partner, of course, but how the chorus continues illustrates how burdening it can be to have a persons love be why you live. The repetitiveness of the lyrics along with the seemingly chaotic piano and increasing tempo gives this anxiety and urgency to the listener, much like how you'd feel if this person does not love you more and more and more then you'll lose your reason to live and you'll be left with nothing.

Exactly like to escape yourself your mind your depression with the love of others to distract you have others love you when you can’t love yourself the high of a romantic euphoria from going back down to a deep depression you can’t escape
beautifully explained
her music has such an 80's vibe lately and im living for it. screaming n crying rn
i think she’ll be releasing a song every month leading up to the release of the full album
you're right, she's been doing that since october - her album is coming out on feb 4 though so this is the final monthly release!!
@@zoha5818 i’m sooo excited for this album i hope this song is great
this is a fucking masterpiece. i love where’s she’s going with the album.
This song might be about someone loving you but as soon as I hear it, I imagine that I’m singing it to myself. Like a plea from my own body for me to take better care of myself. Such phenomena can be described as the mitski effect; welcome to my ted talk
You worded it so right. Crying rn 😂😂
YUP SAME, im having a hard month but today i realized a lot of it is the lack of self love and i found myself sing this to myself on repeat because yes i need to fill ME up
i think singing it to yourself may actually be the point?? :o Mitski plays all the characters in the music vid, taking herself home and all that.
me in the bathroom:
This makes so much send. I was trying to understand what all of the imagery meant like how she rode in with someone and left alone
This song is beautiful because it functions on so many levels. On the one hand at face value it’s about a relationship, wanting someone to be so in love with you, with such an outpouring of emotion, that it “makes you whole” or fills you up, and drowns out your insecurities. On the other, it’s about needing to love yourself more. The entire video she is interacting with iterations of herself: she’s driving herself on the motorcycle, she’s asking the doll her to let her in, she’s mimicking the poses of her drawn self. She wants to change via self love, but doesn’t know how.
Damn, I relate more to this song now. Thanks
Honestly I couldn’t agree more, i keep hearing it and imagining that I’m singing it to myself-
its about her relationship to artistic/ self-worth under capitalism too, similar to Working for the Knife. She's broken on a hospital bed while she watches herself getting applause after a performance on TV. She's lost in a hall of piano keys, but they aren't they "key" to the house where her performative self lives (the puppet refusing to let her inside wears her 2018 live performance outfit). She's re-performing artistic renditions of herself, slamming her face into the painting to get flowers rained on her.
Is she begging for selflove, or is she asking an audience to validate her existence? a part of the lyrics is "when I'm done singing this song I will have to find something else to do to keep me here." It's a common turmoil for artists under capitalism. You put yourself (especially your trauma) into art as a mean of expression, only to have it commodified-- valued by money and clout, instead of being valued for everything that you are
I definitely think most of the songs on the album are about her relationship with herself and with fame than about a lover.
Her new album is amazing, and there's so many killer songs, but I think this one's my favorite.
I love how Mitski always came up with MASTERPIECES !!!!
@Anna ♪ Spam.
UGH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I CANT WAIT UNTIL THE WHOLE ALBUM COMES OUT
1:14 is how I feel when I'm feeling happy but aware that it's temporary. Like riding the wave of the high before I head backstage again
I literally can't wait for the entire album because all of these songs have been SO good
I love your Tecchou pfp💞
she never disappoints 😭
so true
Frrrr and it comes out less than a month im so so excited
omg tecchou pfp
my way and how i interpret this song :
i think this song is about staying alive to feel loved, or have a relationship or to be loved.
"i need you to love me more" means, to love someone more and more everyday so everyday is even more worth to live, "drown it out" is to drown out the bad things in life. the other person mitski will find, is the next person she will be in a relationship with, because the other person already gave all their love and now she has to find a new lover so she can stay alive and feel loved.
"how do other people do it", "another day to come" is just her asking herself , how other people can live with only a certain lover and a certain way of living, and the repetition of every day. how can people live like this?
this song is about someone battleing the life they're living and the suicidal thoughts or tendencies by relationships. even though they wanted to start a new life ( as seen in the start, "i will be a new girl") but they failed, so now the repeat their old coping mechanisms and patterns so they find "something else to keep them here", bc finding someone else.
sorry if this is repetitive or messy, that's just my way of seeing it!
Your interpretation is completely true, if that's what you see in it.
I would say it's about self-love. Which is what everyone needs to learn, before being able to love another.
There are a couple of signs in the video that hint to it.
1. The scene in the television, when people are throwing garbage at her while she is performing on stage. This and the lyrics are kinda suggesting that her career is over and she has to look for something new in her life.
2.The puppet (clearly herself) that she is trying to interact with. ...Not letting her in the house, when she can't find the fitting handle to the door. Maybe something off with her communicating to herself? Who knows.
3. The battery pack in the burning newspaper roll. It's coming from the past so maybe she is burned out...
4. The Cleansing in the white room. Again, she interacting with herself in different (power)poses. Fighting with herself. Lying on the floor trying to recover energy. Turning the cold shoulder... Maybe denial... And what not. All stages of the long, hard and (sometimes) painful process, when you go through a crisis and try to find back to your (new)self...
But in the end... She's back on the road. And the red (love) traffic sign switches to green.
I adore that heart btw!
All this is pure self love to me. Not just buying yourself nice things, doing sports or being in a relationship. All fine and good, but truly loving oneself means to tackle the bad stuff as well or you'll never be satisfied.
I just heard about mitski yesterday for the first time (found a great video of Boy Jr supposedly from tiktok doing a marina and the diamonds impression mitski style😍) and I must say - this is some intelligent, impressive women and her videos are just uhh. Sooo good.
@@christopherjohnfrancisboon8989 that’s a good point!! similar to how the song “i will” is.

At 4min49s. Hope you like it.
i love everyone interpretation!!
my own is that she’s in a toxic relationship that she’s ignoring all the red flags but she knows that they’re the only one who would actually not reject her and because she’s insecure she decides that she’d stuck w this person for a long time to feel validated and receive the love she needs
I agree with your interpretation until at the end. But Respectfuly thoguh😅. Mabey it's just her mind playing tricks on her and trying to convince her she will fall into these coping mechanisms. Hence there is a doll always reminding her of her bad traits, like feeling small, helpless, and repetitive. It turnels her vison. But as she says love me more we see her with more pictures of herself. Mabey she is trying to get out of it by reconizing her habbits. (Hence also her copying herposes.) Then we see her stuck her head through the all. She could be trying to thikk outside of the box. And with the water she is reflecting on it. Until finaly she leaves. And what do we see a heart. She has battled her deamons herself and has learned she needs to love herself too. Sence hownwe see her with the jacket riding off alone. She could meet with her lover. But I feel as though it has a more hopeful message. But that's just my optimistic mind.
Mitski makes loneliness sound so fucking epic. I wish my depression was that anthemic. I might get out of bed before noon. I seriously believe that this girl is my generation's answer to Kurt Cobain but hopefully with a happier ending. We don't need any more martyrs.
Spoken so well 👌💕 Take care, comrade hermit
if you want to watch a video that symbolizes the dullness of depression watch the male fantasy music video by billie eilish
i'm a somewhat reclusive type also. so i'll shut up now, that took a lot of social energy just to say that ^ ^ except i agree with the hope for a happier ending than kurt's

MITSKI NEVER MISSES
I think this song's about valuing yourself on the love of others and using relationships to avoid your problems + the imagery/visuals in this are so good
I was thinking along the same lines. The sentiment of valuing yourself on the love of others was definitely a theme in her early music
I personally think it's about her career in music business, like the first few lines indicate she might have chosen wrong thing to pursue. She kinds of regret it and feel tired in the business (this parallels the Working for the Knife lyrics), but want people to "love her more" so that she can continue making music. That's my interpretation, though....
Anyways, I love her music so much and I hope she makes it big and not feel too overwhelmed by her sudden rise in popularity recently.

If I keep myself at home

MITSKI LINDAAAAA TE AMO!!!! MITA LENDA NUNCA ERROU
Mitski you are so perfect, legendary, no mistakes
MITSKI MITA!!!
the way i see this, this song is talking about validation and being a “gifted” or “special” person. “i could be a new girl”, referring to how the pressures so much, and you hate it and want to get rid of it, but you can’t. “but when i’m done singing, i’ll have to find something else to keep me here”- nothings enough, you have to constantly put out content and proof that you’re who you’ve been labeled as for others, or you lose everything. “there’s another day to come”, no matter how good you can keep up the illusion that you’re “special”, you have to do it over and over because everyone expects you to, and it’s so tiring. the chorus for me is obsessively repeating how once you’re in that spot you want validation, and want it more and more because once you start getting it you can’t be without it. wanting to be the “special” or “gifted” kid, but the pressures so much and it’s exhausting to keep up, not to mention trying to compete with others, hence the lyric “how do other people live, i wonder how they keep it up”. there’s so many more lyrics i feel like build on this, but it’d be too long. just my personal interpretation :)
I think you just explained some of the feelings I felt when listening to this song.
i love mitski but i wish there were more comments like thsi instead of just "i love mitski" spam, i love seeing peoples interpretations :')
@@feya1621 Fr😭
EXACTLY bc its like your self-worth is completely based on getting validation from other people that you ~really are~ special or that your work really is good, but then you lose track of the person you are without the achievements and approval

thanks for the letter!
Thank you 😄
WAKE UP BABE NEW MITSKI SONG JUST DROPPED
Haven’t witnessed such a profound music video with an ACTUAL video treatment/storyline in so long. Thank you so much for simply being you Mitski, for your artistry and always continuing to strive to find and more importantly ~understand~ the next layer within thy self!
Still in awe and in love..
Anyone else feel like mitski’s songs are all so connected yet different at the same times, like you could hear the only heartbreaker at the beginning
in the tracklist, The Only Heartbreaker is the song before Love Me More
I think this album will be very 80s in general. I generally don't feel too strongly about this aesthetic, but GOD Mitski can make bijna anything perfect.
yeah and if you look closely at the end you can see the girl from the happy music video
HWO
the MOST relatable song ever made
actually real :(
@@cxlev01 fr i cry everytime i listen
VAI LÁ MITSKI, LANÇA MAIS UMA MITADA
That 80's beat hits so well with Mitski's sad voice 😩😩😩
This is now the 2020s sound. Every artists since 2020 have been making Modern Synthpop 🥰
Ehhh not exactly. I would agree that synthpop has certainly become more mainstream since around 2020, but to categorize it as "the 2020s sound" is quite misleading.
@@RetronicBruh Every production and songwriting cue has been taken from the 80s book; this for me has "peak 80s retro" written all over it.
A lot of retro 80s stuff only goes so far, and often the slick production or some other element brings you back into the present. This for me really sounds and *feels* like the 80s.... and I must say, I love it!
If I keep myself at home
I won't make the same mistake

Mitski trae otra obra de arte como siempre
Mitski bring another art piece as usual
I feel like she is speaking directly to us, her fans. She is grappling with trying to improve her mental health and finding healthy ways to ease her crippling depression while also being a performer and dealing with her adoring fans that shower her in love which can de-rail the healing process as it is an extremely potent but temporary high that leaves you empty when the curtains close. Truly healing is hard work, it is tempting to just bask in the artificial love of our parasocial relationship with her but just like drugs, its a cycle and the high is never as good as the last so you keep chasing that first high, practice poses you've performed a million times, you're a puppet on a string going through the motions. The solution? Love me more audience! MAYBE if you love me more it will be enough to drown the emptiness out. But at the end she shows she is self aware and all though the words are saying "I need you to love me more!" she is staring into the camera, shaking her head no, telling us, her fans that that's not what she needs, "Please don't do listen to me. This song is my Ego speaking but my trueslf knows the only true happiness comes from doing the hard work to find love internally".
But depression is the thief of motivation and self-care is hard and draining. So she's back at square one, depleted of all energy to work on herself so you see her getting back on that motorcycle, the cycle begins again and she surrenders herself once again to the sacharrine, hollowing, conditional love of her fans.
not sure how much of this is projection through the lens of my own crippling depression and how much is actually what she's trying to say but this is my interpretation.
you’re definitely keen. i think the second person “you” found in a lot of the lyrics in laurel hell could refer to past lovers as well as fans and critics. all these unresolved emotions of wistfulness, desperation, frustration, and desire that she’s always written about in terms of romance have finally matched with her relationship with her musical audience. and its discomforting and unusual to realize it, but that realization dresses the whole album.
also i hope you find a way out of your depression, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
wow you are very wise ... how beautiful, your sensitivity of perception and feeling. thanks for taking the time to write this up
Sounds legit. Mitski is lucky to have fans like you;) all we can do is try to understand and love one another
@@VickyDPi not rlly- imagine getting a whole ass psychological script without your perimission about how u are, how ur depression si acting up how ur fame affects u, nobody knows abt that like u, why are they acting like they do, shes not a god but neither a dying person, shes just herself and we should take that as enough, not evaluate her like a character or praise her like shes superior to human kind
wow, i think this is the best interpretation i've heard so far. and if you look carefully enough the video makes sense too that way. so beautifully phrased and well thought i love this comment💗

Ok does anyone else notice at 1:30 that there’s a different melody in the left ear and in the right ear. I was listening with only one headphone on and noticed it then. The right ear is high pitched and is lacking most of the piano notes, while the left side has all the piano
TE AMO MITSKI ERES INCREÍBLE Y TE MERECES TODO LO BUENO
the visuals are stunning, i loved the part where she was matching the poses in the white room. great new song!!!!
I recently came to terms with my diagnosis of BPD. This song instantly reminded me of it.
"But when I’m done singing this song
I will have to find something else
To do to keep me here"
It just reminds me of the complete emptiness I feel when my life is not about other people or I am not loved. It reminds me of how uncomfortable I feel when my sister hasn't said "I love you" for an hour. I feel completely empty. Every time she says it I feel full, but it's temporary.
"How do other people live
I wonder how they keep it up
When today is finally done
There’s another day to come"
It just never ends. And I know I shouldn't be this way. Like she says, it's an itch I want to scratch.
i know that it probably wasnt the intended meaning of this song but it also hits me right in those bpd wounds. like im begging the people around me to love me just a little bit harder to keep me feeling full just a little bit longer
@@morgandenton4565 I don't think there's anything that indicates it wasn't the intended meaning of the song! I don't want to diagnose people but A LOT of Mitski's music has BPD vibes. She's a very private person but I'm sure she has a pathology of some sort.
bpd sister here and same all of her music sounds like ways to describe my bpd to people.
I have dependant personality disorder, personally, and I feel that honestly. Like there's just this incessant need to feel like your life is full of love and you're cared for. Especially at the end when Mitski changes the lyrics to "I need you to love me more, love enough to clean me up." There's always a part of you that knows you shouldn't love so irregularly. You want someone to fix it for you. Clean you up.
With so much of her music it's just so raw from the perspective of a personality disorder. "I will be the one you need, but wait, I can't be me without you" from Geyser. The raw emotion when she blurts out "I miss you more than anything" in Francis Forever. The first verse of Why Didn't You Stop Me. The earth-shattering loneliness of Nobody as she descends into just repeating the titular line over and over again. "Do, Me, Ti, why not me?" from Washing Machine Heart.
So much of her lyricism has helped me to cope and find comfort in her music. It reminds me that I'm not alone in what I'm feeling. As terrifying as it is to have DPD, it isn't something I suffer from on my own.
So much of Mitski's music not only helps me come to terms with the way I interact with the world, but to view myself as more human for it as well.
TL;DR I love Mitski
I love this song
I was just wishing some minutes ago for more new Mitski music, and I opened UA-cam to find this treasure. Thanks Mitski

LENDA DEUSA DO MUNDO
“If I keep myself at home I won’t make the same mistakes” always makes me feel so much. I was bullied my whole life at school and got pencils thrown at me, got punched and pushed around and called ugly and fat. I started staying home so I didn’t have to Be there. I always thought it was my fault I was picked on and I always stayed home so I didn’t have to make “my mistake”
Had a similar experience throughout all of elementary school. Bullying stopped since I moved to a different part of town and started middle school, but I was a super shitty person and started to just sorta bully and annoy others, was super toxic to my friends plus I had a ton of internalized homophobia so that was fun. Now I'm in HS, changed as a person and got better but I have severe social anxiety and I'm scared to approach people because of all the mistakes I've made. I started skipping classes because I'll just have panic attacks from the littlest thing and then I just start sobbing 💀. Hope things are going better for you Kylie!

Mitski somehow has been guessing my current mental state everytime she brings out new music, this got me in tears
there's something i really love about mitski's choreography in her music videos. i find a lot of music videos nonessential to the listening experience, but with mitski's i do think you should try to watch them at least once if you can to really get the full measure of what she's trying to say. there's something about her use of movement and dance that, no matter whether it's uncomfortable, erotic, funny, pained, joyful, or sad, it's not superficial. there's meaning to it.
I think she studied audiovisuals/filmmaking. If that is the case it makes sense, she is very attentive to both music and clips in her works of art ^^

i just realized this but the song is 3:33 long and that angel number represents "encouragement in making the correct choices in life. And in terms of relationships, if you see this number, that may indicate that it is time for you to make essential changes and choices in your love life." this is what i found but i think that sinks into the song which if im correct i love it. and the song it self is magnificent so yeah. thats what i found lol.

This song sounds like a plea from your body, to heal and clean yourself, to love your yourself and your body, to “become a new girl”. It’s really relatable for me and I love this song so much
Tev viss jau ir ok.
1:03 and there's that gesture from working for the knife again! taking a drag from an imaginary cigarette. i associated it with performance and artifice the first go around; it's really cool to see it pop up again and think about what the implications are.
she did a similar thing in some of her performances of 'I Don't Smoke' !! 2018/19 era
around 2:14 i’m almost certain that the clinking sound effect in the background is the same one from working for the knife
rose icon!! also i think very similarly; with the mimicking of poses from other videos/tour choreography, the trying to unlock the door with the piano keys, the twitter bird, the tour-outfit dressed up puppet of herself...? the fact that shes said often that her "love songs" are often really about her relationship to music/fame (geyser being one i can name off the top of my head) i absolutely think at least the video is abt her relationship to fame/celebrity and how it makes her "feel like everything, it is everything" (paraphrasing what she said in a recent interview) and can also be destroying and damaging to her. she needs her listeners, who are a prism for her art to pass through and then be given the opportunity to perform more, to love her more! to listen, to give her a stage, to keep her filling full! shes often said that she doesnt know what shed do with her life without music, that its not just what she does, but something she HAS to do or else shell die. idk food for thought, i've also listened to it in the past couple of weeks as a straight up heartbreak song
I really love how she chooses unique visuals for her songs. Such a great artist.
the way i broke into a grin at the first notes-only mitski can do that.
I LOVE YOU MITSKI
A LENDA NUNCA ERRA!!
carai so tem brasileiro aqui
Estoy esperando está nueva canción con ansias
it seems like it’s about feeling pressured to look and act a certain way in order to be loved, because that kind of love is the only thing keeping you going. ik she’s said that a lot of her love songs apply to music/the industry, so with the scene with the piano keys falling it almost seems like it’s a song directed towards us- “I need YOU (the viewer) to love me more,” a pressure to create even when everything’s falling apart
The end with the distorted reflection of herself then could be representative of the false image we see of her in the public eye- her persona for the audience.
I hope whoever she's singing to hears this and loves her more
