    Lyrics:
    Heat lightning
    Running outside the window
    I’ve laid awake since 1 and now it’s
    4 o’clock
    Though I’ve held on
    Can’t carry it much longer
    On the ceiling dancing are the
    Things all come and gone
    And there’s nothing I can do
    Not much I can change
    So I give it up to you
    I hope that’s okay
    There’s nothing I can do
    Not much I can change
    I give it up to you
    I surrender
    Heat lightning
    Watch it from my doorstep
    Sleeping eyelid of the sky
    Flutters in a dream
    Well I’ve held on
    But feel a storm approaching
    Trees are swaying in the wind
    Like sea anemones
    And there’s nothing I can do
    Not much I can change
    Can I give it up to you
    Would that be okay
    There’s nothing I can do
    Not much I can change
    I give it up to you
    I surrender
    There’s nothing I can do
    Not much I can change
    I give it up to you
    I surrender

    For someone who suffers from PTSD, this hits right home. That helplessness and vulnerability that’s always there and I can do nothing about, Mitski struck it at dead center. I have never cried harder.
    There’s this lingering hopelessness in having the condition, in the recovery and progress, of barely changing a thing; and although it can be interpreted differently, for me, the line “I give it up to you, I hope it’s okay/would that be okay, I surrender” goes especially for my emotional support person. The power and impact of acknowledging you can rely on others for help― that you never have to suffer alone, and that you are not the burden that your mind tells you― is a revolutionary turn. There are things survivors cannot ease up by themselves, and not that the ease comes dependently on others, but sometimes they are a lifeline― and they make the unbearable worthy to bear. They shelter when our heat lightning strikes.

    this song is about her anxiety. ‘heat lightning’ is silent, so she can see her stressful future coming toward her, and she knows she’ll be in the thunderstorm soon but theres nothing she can do about it so she surrenders

    I think my interpretation may be less popular. But this year in particular my life has been so out of control, and no matter what I’ve been doing I haven’t been able to change my life of others around me and so I’ve leaned into my faith. The chorus really resonates with me, especially after feeling so mentally and emotionally exhausted I looked to God for relief. “Nothing I can do, not much I can change. I give it up to you, would that be okay?” Speaking to God looking for peace “I surrender”

    Lyrics
    Heat lightning running outside the window
    I’ve laid awake since 1:00 and now it’s 4 o’clock
    Though I’ve held on, can’t carry it much longer
    On the ceiling dancing are the things all come and gone
    And there’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
    So I give it up to you, I hope that’s okay
    There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
    I give it up to you, I surrender
    [Verse 2]
    Heat lightning, watch it from my doorstep
    Sleeping eyelid of the sky flutters in a dream
    Well, I’ve held on, but feel a storm approaching
    Trees are swaying in the wind like sea anemones
    [Chorus]
    And there’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
    Can I give it up to you? Would that be okay?
    There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
    I give it up to you, I surrender
    There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
    I give it up to you, I surrender

    i don’t think i can thank mitski enough for this masterpiece “watching it from the door steps” not being able to stop the lightning and the upcoming storm (in my opinion) it could show this self destruction and not being able to do anything youre just there “watching it from your door steps” and it can relate to burning hill, there’s this connotation with heat lightning they both nature based and they both cause “burning/self destructive”
