Lyrics:
I'm all used up, pretty boy
Over and over again, my nail colors are wearing off
See my hands, pretty boy
What do they tell you?
'Cause I've looked down at them, not knowing why
And after everything's done and I'm all undone
You can hear my high heels walking on
Clickety-clacking through the night
I'm carrying my bag of bones
Fluorescent store lights, you shine through the night
Illuminate my pores and you tear me apart
Mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight?
I'm tired of this searching, would you let me let go?
I know my room is a mess
Over and over again I tell myself I'll clean tomorrow
Just move the stuff up off the bed
And do what you came here to do
But first, open up a window for me
And let the cool air in, feel the night slip in
As it softly glides along your back
And I hope you leave right before the sun comes up
So I can watch it alone
Fluorescent store lights, you shine through the night
Illuminate my pores and you tear me apart
Mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight?
I'm tired of this searching, would you let me let go?
And I can take a little bit more
Let's shake this poet out of the beast
Just a, just a little bit more
Let's shake this poet out of the beast

MITSKI I LOVE YOU

P
me with tears streaming down my face patiently waiting for the candy crush ad to end so i can continue listening to this and sobbing
youtube ad blockers on chrome
No bc I’m literally playing candy crush and listening to this song as I read this comment.
I keep unliking this comment on accident bc i keep forgetting I've seen it and liked it before lmfao it gets me every time for some reason
mitski getting her coin tho
@@whamstan7454 as she deserves
if i sounded like this i would literally never shut up
For real like you would never hear the end of me, I would most likely just start singing in a damn Denny’s if I wanted to
wouldnt let that beautiful voice go to waste
IKR
One word "Zhongli"
Same
apparently ms. mitski wrote parts of this song when she was like?? 17?? and thats wild this is a tiny peek into her mind at that time of her life
wait only parts??
as far as i know she wrote the song when she was 18.
she was coming back home from a party, before dawn, when she lived in turkey, and started playing around with the keyboard she had in her room.
it was the first song she ever wrote.
i feel like it's a lot about being young and lost, after spending years feeling left out and depressed as teenager.
she was in a point in which she didn't know what to do, or which way to go with her life. she spent a lot of time partying in a meaningless way.
then this song came in a unexpected moment and changed her life.
@@giicupcake wait she lived in turkey? when? why? i have so many questions
@@anarchistcatowner her dad's job meant that she essentially lived around the world for a good portion of her life, so she moved a lot.
@@anarchistcatowner she went to high school in turkey ankara
this song is so indescribably painful. it sounds exhausted. it encapsulates the sort of loneliness one feels when one is around others, but not really with them, not really there
Yes
yesss
The comments aren’t supposed to be this relatable 😭😭
yes and its so me
yeahhh it really doess
this song reminds me of myself before i realised i was a lesbian. hooking up with men, desperately trying to find any form of connection, but always coming up empty handed. so much happier and comfortable with myself now, thank god.
i am very proud of you :-)
I'm proud of you, you're better. I hope that you're doing well. Just remember that your past never defines you, I've had to learn that and I've finally accepted that although my past was bad it doesn't define me nor does yours. ❤
@@demi4696 thank you so much ❤️ i hope we both continue to heal throughout our lives
As a fellow lesbian who deals w comphet, I love and appreciate you. I'm happy that you're finally happy and comfortable with yourself. I hope you're having a wonderful day.
im so glad you are happier ! :)
There is not a single bad song of Mistki. She literally makes art in every song.
MITSKI ************
I love her songs
well yeah that is what a song is
Your right 😍😍
Mitski is love mitski is life
I think this song is about using hypersexuality to cope and unconsciously sabotaging yourself with it so that you may never create meaningful bonds with anyone. Carrying the "bag of bones" during the walk of shame back home indicates she's done a figurative crime, something she feels ill about, and the "I tell myself I'll clean tomorrow" sounds like a good old "I can stop whenever I want" to me
i think the song has to do specifically with having unhealthy/one sided sexual relationships, and seeking them out until you're worn out:
"I'm all used up, pretty boy
Over and over again"
the way that it's talked about (i.e: "do what you came here to do") it makes it sound like she is seeing people who only want her for her body, without concern for her as a person, not even sparing her a single night. the "bag of bones" that she carries is her own body.
I think it's about trying to find love, but her searching never amounts to anything but one-night stands, which she accepts as a substitute for love, even though it can never satisfy her. She is lonely and doesn't know how to cope, which is why she is "tired of this searching", but doesn't stop because she is longing for intimacy and one-night stands are the closest thing.
Fucking hell you just read me like a book, i'll stick with your meaning of the song because it hit me hard enough to feel... comprehended. Not alone in the same shitty scenario that is not being able of finding healthy relationships because i tainted myself with meaningless hookups at a point I don't even know how to love properly. You, Robin billie Robin, have my respect. Wish you're all ok from a comment 1 year late :)
i heavily associate this song with my ed. for kinda the same reasosn
@@pinkmilkshake1971 same, also i think much of her early work deals with EDs, or at least body image issues.
this song hits a really specific emotion that i don't think i can explain to nyself
It’s like a mix of hopelessness and exaustion
it's like that poem by richard siken but not the part where it says "you're in the car with a beautiful boy" more like where it says "you feel like you've done something terrible like stole pills or dug yourself a grave and you're tired"
@@sunshinehappybean5817 a combination of my fav artist and fav poet fuck yeah! also 100% agree
It’s a mix of everything that being depressed is.
ouch but emotionally
shoutout to my go-to "i really wanna cry but i physically cant so i instead sit and listen to mitski and its not even helping at this point so instead i imagine myself repeatedly running full force into a wall" song
OMG UNABLE TO CRY GANG bc literally me wtf
i wish i could cry so bad
@@laorquidea3748 right
YES TY FOR SAYING IT I LITERALLY CANNOT CRY WTF
wait what this is universal-
the desperation in this song
Her vocals in this song wrap themselves around my heart in a soft but sad embrace
this aLBUM NEEDS MORE ATTENTION

no reason why *puts on fencing suit*
@@kaitotrimbleiii3998 *Grabs bow an arrows* Yeah totally
The vocal control in this is absolutely stunning!
Very underrated song.
the line "I can take a little bit more" always hits the nail on the head for me. the way its sung, and considering the theme of this song, just sounds so tired and emotionally exhausted and agonizing. it just goes to show how remarkable mitski is with how her singing and lyricism works together
Every song has such emotion behind it, that's something I truly admire about mitski and the way she can put such feelings into every aspect of her songs
Then Be the Cowboy came xd i really feel some of the songs had no emotion at all. Though honestly after retired it started getting lost
@@ryansoats581 You're wrong.
@@dylanvillaotero6868 I re listened to puberty 2 and bury me and both do still have a good ammount of emotion. But Be the Cowboy has a lot of songs that just feel so structured an robotic. Maybe its just me...
@@ryansoats581 Yeah, it's just you, buddy.
@miserable lesbian yea like on its own be the cow boy is a great album, but in context of what mitski has done before it just doesnt exactly live up. though it def has some amazing tracks and music videos, and i'd say it got mitski the most fame because of nobody. i hope mitski returns soon maybe around the same time lorde does, two great albums hopefully at once would make 2021 an incredible year.
This is me having a spiritual experience while eating chicken mcnuggets and listening to this song at 5:08 pm
same but i’m eating captain crunch at 2:17 am
quirky
I- same with me just eating corn flakes at 7:00 am eating corn flakes cus I couldn’t sleep and now the sun is coming up so who knows if I’ll sleep at all
@@ratteeth3920 why
@@there.9254 i was hungry
I’ve always seen this song as someone being used. The term bag of bones being a metaphorical term for how it feels to be bone dry. Being used over and over again until they are empty. With the constant reference of a male the song is seen as about a possibly sexual or emotionally tiring relationship that is one sided, the character is being used, physically or mentally. In this relationship that they simply can not get out of, they keep providing for the partner in the relationship, but they are becoming empty, in other terms, a bag of bones.
I always thought bag of bones represented her body
the one chord before the chorus begins at 1:18 feels like a warm hug
how is this not more popular :[
the whole lush album is incredibly underrated :(

god i love this, it has a depressed and creepy vibe at the same time.
this song was with me through a really really dark time and i just want to say it does get better. recovery is so hard. but it does get better i promise. i’ll be a year clean in june. even if your not clean yet that’s okay, you will be, because you matter. because you are special. because you deserve to live. life is beautiful mate, don’t you EVER forget that.
i’m proud of u bb
I did get better, then I relapsed.
HAPPY 1 YEAR CLEANIVERSARY DANNIII
hey how are u doing now?
i had this exact experience, thank you sm i hope ur doing amazing
Im reading these comments and I think it’s so amazing that everyone associates this song with different experiences and emotions, personally I relate this song to my SA experiences and just that feeling of continually being used and feeling trapped and just kind of accepting it eventually but just wishing to be left alone aka mercy on me. But also feeling a sort of attachment to my abuser and just wanting to let go. Thank you for this beautiful song I absolutely adore you mitski
You are so strong, I hope you’re doing okay ❤️
this hurts my heart so much

I came here to listen casually but I’m accidentally crying?
Her voice in this song is INSANE. Sometimes I can't even keep crying to this one because the sound is just so beautiful lmao
my fav mitski song idk it just perfectly describes emptiness and the mindset of women who value validation of men so much that it ruins their self worth, and how her sexual desires make her feel dirty bc of the society she was raised and bc of how she's used for her body only in which i've struggled with many times :/
god me too..are you ok?
@@SM-nm4cd naur💔💔but then again is anyone who listens to this song often ok
@@SM-nm4cd its mitski, does anyone who listens to mitski seem ok?
I heard that this is the first song she wrote and omfg I'm so OBSESSED
OMG
my 2nd fav song.😍
I connect this song with my chronic feeling of emptiness, trying to feel better trough pleasig a partner or just pleasing someone so i can feel usefull. in the nights when i am all alone by choice or bc just no one is there i try to write or play music or shaking the poet out of the beast that is my poor mental health.
This song is so special to me. It just... it feels like exhaustion. Like you don't want to do this anymore, that you're tired of living like this, but you still get up at the same time, go the same places, and
nothing's changing. And it's all so much
But you almost want to collapse from it, because then you'll finally have a change... maybe finally you'll be taken care of. Ik that it has heavy themes of using s3x to cope, which i agree with, but to me it resonates because of it's beaten down, melancholy, almost content sadness. I feel that feeling in my bones, especially today bc i woke up to physically exhausted to move and I'm still lying here, haha
I did a little bit of writing based off of this song and how it makes me feel.
I plead to the moon to sweep me off my feet and take me to another place, oh to wipe my memories and have the sea embrace me in its cold arms saving me from the torment of my own mind. Despite my pleasures I still feel a mundane ache yearning for someone to save me. There is no man at my window to save me from my own mind and there is no ocean holding me in its muted prison. there's only my four walls listening to the same cry of pain that's echoed since the day I died. I still wonder if I can be reborn into a story not so tragic and dark. Tell me what I'll let take me first, the moon or the waves of fuchsia blood tormenting the rest of my rainbow world. A broken song I've sang since the day he said he loved me. Was it a lie to me or his own twisted mind leading him into a labyrinth of my love, a broken song we both sing empathized by god herself.
this is SO beautiful. would it be okay to write a song about this? just about how i felt reading this while listening to the song
@@leilawilliams7738 that would honestly be wonderful can you dm me on discord @ Dizzy Candles#0857 please?

Y’all be forgetting door?!😩🙏
but eric and liquid smooth…
BUT HEAR ME OUT, abbey 😔
Lush is such an underrated album of hers 😣
if mitski truly cared abt her fans, then wy would she make this gut wrenching, sob inducing, laying in my bed sobbing and not able to breath vibes, masterpiece of a song?
her music is so underrated! she deserves to be as famous as Beyonce, her music is incredible. so much emotion and beauty, I just love it
k but it’s raining on 24th may 2021 and i just discovered this album. i’ve sobbed for so long. i’m exhausted. i have school. it’s 12 AM. i have exams. it’s such a vibe but yet i feel so ill and alone and sad. i’ve never felt this way about a piece of music.
that’s cute. i love you
@@eb6031 I love u too ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
@Pickled Pomegranate thank u very much! I hope u are even better darling^ ^
in my opinion, i think this song is repetitively putting off your problems and carrying them around, running away from them instead of facing the little things. eventually creating a worsened weight for yourself.
I went through a period of time where I would listen to this song on repeat all day long. Ahhh
I hope ur doing better now!
SAME
this song feels like sitting in your room in the dark looking at something on your phone with the window open while its raining.
Or that feeling after having a panic attack and your in that derealization stage where you feel like your other worldly
@@Bambiluvr THIS OMG
this is the most sane description of a mitski song i’ve ever seen in my life
“i know my room is a mess, over and over again i tell myself I’ll clean tomorrow” BRO I CAN’T EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I RELATE TO THIS LINE😭😭
GODDDD IMM GONNA FLING MYSELF INTO THE WALL HOW CAN A SONG BE THIS GOOD
Spending Christmas with mitski
mitski lyrical genius
im so overhelmed by school and this song makes me feel understood. i dont even know where should i start, theres so much to do and tomorrow i have two tests, and the day after tomorrow is another one. i know ppl have worse problems but my situation is a bit hard. i used to be a really good student and now i dont know why but my grades are getting worse and worse. i promised myself to be a better student but i have no idea how. i am scared that i will fail. i wish i could do better
If I didn’t know better I would swear this comment was written by me. You’ve put my exact thoughts into words!! If it helps you at all, I completely understand how you feel and I don’t think anyone has the right to try and “one-up” you with their problems. Everyone’s struggling, including you, and I hope one day it becomes easier to realize that, while others may have it objectively worse, you don’t have to validate your own problems to other people. We’re all affected by things in different ways, your pain is valid!
@@bigyikes8698hi, thank you sooo much and i'm sorry that you're struggling too
Mitski's voice feels like being embraced warmly by an angel as i fall into an agonizing spiral of dissociation, self destruction and numbness. It feels ethereal, like i am being understood and becoming part of something pure, something bigger and better than me. It feels like im being accepted and seen by someone while also being a broken and abandoned piece of unfinished art. It feels holy.
Edit: sorry y'all had to read this corny ass comment💀💀 i was feeling a little goofy at the time. A little silly of you will.
not that i dislike her newer music, i literally love it, but i feel like the unpolished rawness of this song is not as prevalent in her more recent stuff. when i first listened to this song to completion it was almost like a religious experience, it’s just that fucking good 😭
SAME OMG
FR MAN THIS IS UNMATCHED COMPARED TO HER NEWER SHIT
I associate this song w my eating disorder. Her songs have so much emotions behind them… it makes me cry and feel comforted at the same time. Im crying rn just bc I ate too much. I hate this sm. I just want to eat without feeling guilty. I want my ed to “spare me tonight” so I don’t cry myself this night,too
my prayers go out to you cowboy patrick ♥️ youre beautiful no matter what you choose
sometimes i try writing a song and then i listen to this and remember this was the first song she ever wrote so i give up
I’m not depressed but if I ever become depressed I have the sad artist to listen to
bro she says mercy on me and I feel like I've ascended and seen the face of God, if only for the briefest of moments
this song is fucking devastating
i listen to this song at least once a day i love it so much.
hauntingly beautiful
why do almost all of her songs sound like something id play while trying to die :( I have no words
I learned the line is fluorescent lights after months of listening to this song. It connected to a very traumatic era as a child in a bathroom at school. The bathroom had a blueish green lighting and was very fluorescent lights. The 3 stalls were blue. And this song both makes the memories more visible and an outlet to cope. The first time I realized how close the lines resonate I felt like I was going to hurl. I’ve never had a physical reaction to memories until processing it to this song. Damn Mitski can tell stories people are too afraid to express.
i remember crying to this at a wedding party (outside ofc), it was pretty dark and there was a playground nearby so i went there, i was depressed asf back then, i kinda cured, i love the nostalgia this gives me
GAH DAYUM🗣😩
i think this is my favourite mitski song ever it's so fucking raw and important to me understanding my own existence :3
"i know my room is a mess;
i tell myself ill clean tomorrow"
every day. ill clean tomorrow. pfft. i know i wont, but i keep saying it. its the same. i wont clean. i know i wont. it keeps piling up every day i dont clean. one by one. and my room is finally piled up as much as it can. its finally at its limit. just as us.
This song being a DECADE AGO? Is CRAZY 😭! I lover her sm 🫶🏼
This song hits different
this song is like when you realise how awful what they did really was and your heart just fucking drops.
Here I am playing every known song by Mitski because we all know what she does to our hearts 🤷♂️
"mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight.."😭
i come back 2 this everyday
crying
I can take a little bit more
lets shake this poet out of the beast
this song feels like being trapped in a small room and just kind of accepting it, but still wanting out.
the small room is metaphorical, for me its SH, and just feeling like you cant get out but being sort of okay with that, like youve stopped trying to leave in the first place.
"And I hope you leave right before the sun comes up so I can watch it alone" hits
Oh no!!!! I just realized that on one of the many times I've re listened to this song i accidentally disliked it!! (I suspect this is because of my headphones touching the screen) but i feel the need to atone by liking and commenting because this song is beautiful and i love it so much
im replying 3 years later so u see this and listen to the song again
@@michelle6700 same

such a heartbreaking song, so many emotions. the way she sings makes me wanna cry, what a beautiful voice❤️😭
this song is so special to me. I feel like however depressed or overwhelmed I felt, this song still feels safe and comforting.
screaming, running off a cliff, crying, banging on the walls.
mirsmi i’m so drunk i am crying
I deadass do not know how much longer I can do his bro.
everyone's saying this reminds them of fiona apple, and i can see that but for me it sounds like some amanda palmer songs
Appreciating Mitski isnt enough, i have to give her my soul.
Mitski is really out here resonating with my feelings...
why am i crying?!
back again, still obsessed
the amount of times i've cried to this.
It's my Mental breakdown and i get to choose this song
can someone give me a hug please?
a björk-esque manifestation
I think this song may be my favorite mitski song. I wish more people talked about this song it's so well written.
mitski this song is my reason for living
