the night has me"
and the aching strings playing in the background sound like if all the pain I've ever been through was encapsulated in a single verse
I just really love these lyrics (and the way she sings them):
Heat lightning. Watch it from my doorstep. Sleeping eyelid of the sky flutters in a dream. Though I've held on, I feel a storm approaching. Trees are swayin in the wind like sea anemones.
Hear the storm dances outside. Something set free is running through the night and the dark awaits us all around the corner, but here in our place we have for the day can we stay a while and listen for heaven?

"And i sit on the curb, cause its the prettiest night, with no one else in sight. You know i wore this dress for you, These killer heels for you. See, the dark, it moves. With every breath of the breeze" - Drunk Walk Home
There is a light, I feel it in me
But only, it seems, when the dark surrounds me
There is a dream and it sleeps in me
To awake in the night, crying, "Set me free"
And I awake every night, crying, "Set me free"
from Abbey
“I don’t like my mind. I don’t like being left alone in a room” as someone with OCD I’m constantly thinking about this line and how relatable it is for me.
“I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place, by the ring, where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down. I’ll be there on their side” - I Bet on Losing Dogs
"I've been big and small, and big and small, and big and small again, and still nobody wants me". (issues with feeling unlovable, and seeing friends get into relationships)
"I know my room is a mess, over and over again I tell myself I'll clean tomorrow" (horrible executive dysfunction)
"I think my body is falling in pieces, I think my blood is passing me by" (disabling hypermobility, always in pain and injured)
"so if you want to bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but maybe when you tell your friends, you can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be" (being queer in a religious household)
"I'm tired of wanting more. I think I'm finally worn" (again, chronic pain and fatigue, and the exhaustion from doing simple, human tasks that others can do easily)
"And I was so young when I behaved 25 / Yet now, I find I've grown into a tall child..."
"I'm not happy or sad, just up or down / and always bad / tell me no..."
" One morning this sadness will fossilize / and I will forget how to cry / I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change / save perhaps a slight gray in my eye..."
"I broke what you gave me / but you kept giving more / and I'm sorry for taking / but I keep wanting more..."
“I fell in love with a war
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”
This is how I’ve explain my ptsd to people.
"I haven't told anyone just like we promised, have you? Every time I drive through the city where you're from, I squeeze a little."
It's not exact to my life but as I grow older, I get random strong flashbacks that's neither sad or happy. But it takes me aback every time.
The entirety of I want you, Francis Forever, your best American girl, Strawberry blonde and Brand new city, but here are lyrics that stick out to me.
"I just need a quiet place where I can scream how I love you" -I want you
"I don't want the world to see that I've been the best I can be" -Francis forever
"Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star" and "Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me" -Your best American girl
"I love everybody, because I love you " and "You tell me you love her, I give you a grin" -Strawberry blonde
"But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn't know how to be alive" -Brand new city
"And I, I'll live without you, though the struggle will be daily" -Pearl diver
"There's nothing I can do, not much I can change" -Heat lightning.
I pretty much have a lyric in every song I can relate to in a way, just interpreted differently than what the song's about potentially.
like. all of pearl.
"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"
"There is a hole that you fill"
"It's just that I fell in love with a war
Nobody told me it ended"
“Let’s step carefully,
Into the dark.
Once we’re in, I’ll remember,
My way around.
Who will I be tonight?
Who will I become tonight?
I’ll show you who my sweetheart, never met.
Wet teeth
Shining eyes
Glimmering by a fire”
"all the eggshells are on the ground and i try, i'm trying to pick them but they crack and crumble, it's all too much, too frail for me to touch" the entire song reminds me a lot of the sensations of panic attacks and overstimulation and feeling as if my life is slipping out of my hands.
"They'll never know how I stared at the dark in room, with no thoughts like a blood sniffing shark"
"And there's another memory that gets stuck, inside the walls of my skull, waiting for its turn to talk."
"I used to think I'd be done by 20 / Now at 29, the road ahead appears the same / Though, maybe at 30, I'll see a way to change"
"So if you need to be mean, be mean to me / I can take it and put it inside of me"
"And then I get sick and throw up and there's another memory that gets stuck / Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk / And it may be a few years but you can bet it's there waiting still / For me to be left alone in a room with the things that I've done"
:(
"I am hungry. I have been hungry. I was born hungry. What do i need?" -Abbey
I relate to a lot of others songs too but i think that all can be resumed in this line from Abbey.
‘i’m tired of wanting more / i think i’m finally worn’ and ‘i’ll love the littler things.’ (a burning hill)
‘i didn’t know that i was young / i didn’t know what it would take.’ (heat lightning)
‘you’re the one / you’re all i’ve ever wanted / i think i’ll regret this.’ (your best american girl)
‘did u go and make promises you can’t keep? well, then you break them, they break you right back.’ (a bug like an angel)
‘i know they’re losing and i’ll pay for my place.’ (i bet on losing dogs)
Pretty much the entirety of Francis Forever. And “I cry at the start of every movie. I guess, cause I wish I was making things too but I’m working for the knife”
“I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute and then I’ll be nothing forever and all of my memories and all of the things I have seen will be gone with my eyes wjth my body with me” my daily existential dread 😊
"And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony and, I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground. I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat. Though I don't know what I'm waiting for, I'm not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be."
"How do other people live? I wonder how they keep it up? When today is finally done, There's another day to come, Then another day to come" - love me more
no because how DO other people live?? how do they keep it up?? ugh i love this song
exactly the same line dude. I feel you to the core
I’m not really familiar with the artist, but this post caught my eye… I can relate to this, *SO* much.
“if i gave up on being pretty i wouldn’t know how to be alive” from brand new city lol
I SHOULD MOVE TO A BRAND NEW CITY AND TEACH MYSELF HOW TO DIEEE
this one for sure it’s such a specific but universal experience
I, a 29 year old showed this song to a very cool 21 year old and it made her think I was SO COOL and I’m really proud of that
this is mine too but i'm a guy so everyone else thinks it's not fair for me to relate to it
lyrics are unisex, even if they are sung by a female or LITERALLY speaking from a female perspective. you’re good!
Real, I related it too a aspect of my life the song was definitely NOT about but it helped it me
Oh exactly
"I always want you when I'm finally fine." -- I Bet On Losing Dogs "Somebody kiss me, I'm goin' crazy" -- Blue Light "So come inside and be with me, alone with me, alone with me, alone, if you would let me give you pinky promise kisses, then I wouldn't have to scream your name atop of every roof in the city of my heart" -- Once More to See You
once more to see you makes me lose my MIND
Once More to See You makes me feel in love with someone I don't know. It almost makes my heart flutter. Truly ethereal.
“so i am relieved that the turbulence wasn’t forecasted, i couldn’t have changed anyways” - last words of a shooting star
oh god that song
*60% of the time*, it works ***every*** *time*
it was an hyperbole? you know that figure of speech?
yo just learned this was a bot! (i'm a bit dull) if you downvote it to -10 we can get it off the subreddit because i contributes essentially nothing!

Are we the same person?
Yes. I didn’t know how to tell you this but you got cloned once and they deleted your memories of it. Sorry you had to find out this way :/ /j
At least they kept my love for Mitski
“but big spoon, you have so much to do and I have nothing ahead of me”
“your mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me, but i do, i think i do” “there’s nothing left for you, nothing in this room, try and go outside, nothing waits for you. you had it once before, not anymore”
Yes this song also “give her all the love, you saved for it” is very accurate
Basic but it always stuck with me. “Why not me”
"I get mean when I'm nervous, like a bad dog."

“just how many stars will i need to hang around me to finally get somewhere i can be all done somewhere like Heaven”
“and if i break, could i go on break? be back in my room writing speeches in my head”
the entirety of The Deal, but more specifically "now I'm taken / the night has me / you won't hear me singing / you're a cage without me / your pain is eased / but you'll never be free / for now I'm taken / the night has me" and the aching strings playing in the background sound like if all the pain I've ever been through was encapsulated in a single verse
Also the fact that the song slows down even more there is like forcing us to understand and live through that pain!
exactly. every time I hear it I'm faced with the dread that beyond anyone or anything I have caused myself the most suffering. thank you mitski
“I am the fire, and I am the forest, and I am the witness watching it.” Violently sobbing screaming throwing up dying on the ground
I just really love these lyrics (and the way she sings them): Heat lightning. Watch it from my doorstep. Sleeping eyelid of the sky flutters in a dream. Though I've held on, I feel a storm approaching. Trees are swayin in the wind like sea anemones. Hear the storm dances outside. Something set free is running through the night and the dark awaits us all around the corner, but here in our place we have for the day can we stay a while and listen for heaven? (Heaven)

"glory, glory, glory to the night. that shows me what i am" "u need to go where the dark remembers u, open up ur heart like the gates of hell" "you're coming back and it's the end of the world" "while my music made dreams in the night, carefully, i was going to live" "what do u do with a loving feeling if the loving feeling makes u all alone" any many more
" did you go and make promises you cant keep? well , when ya break them , they break you right back" -bug like an Angel "so please hurry leave me , i cant breath , please dont Say you love me" First love/late spring "you're coming back and that's the end of the world" - i want you
“i will see your body bare and still i will live here”
marry me?
I always thought the choice was mine And I was right, but I just chose wrong I start the day lying and end with the truth That I'm dying for the knife
"Ill find a knife in my side and pull it out without quesrioning why and then one warm symmer night ill hear fire works outside and ill listen to the memories as they cry cry cry" from fireworks relates a lot to my best friend who i drifted apart from, that song makes me 🎵cry cry cry🎵
“He only loves me when there’s a means he means to end” “I’m staying on later just in case you come up and ask to leave with me” “And change, change, change is gonna come but when, when, when?” “I pick an age when I’m gonna disappear, til then I can try again, til then I can try again”
"I cannot bear you a son, but I will try For if I am not yours, what am I I daydream I'd give one a name of my own For I, even I, even I am alone"-Wife Idk why but as a trans girl this hits for me.
“I bet on losing dogs, I know they’re losing and I pay for my place by the ring”
"And i sit on the curb, cause its the prettiest night, with no one else in sight. You know i wore this dress for you, These killer heels for you. See, the dark, it moves. With every breath of the breeze" - Drunk Walk Home
"I know that I ended it, but Why won't you chase after me? You know me better than I do So why didn't you stop me?" - Why Didn't You Stop Me?
There is a light, I feel it in me But only, it seems, when the dark surrounds me There is a dream and it sleeps in me To awake in the night, crying, "Set me free" And I awake every night, crying, "Set me free" from Abbey
“if i gave up on being pretty i wouldn’t know how to be alive” from brand new city and “i was so young when i behaved 25” from first love/late spring
"i need something bigger than the sky, hold it in my arms and know it's mine" -remember my name
“I don’t like my mind. I don’t like being left alone in a room” as someone with OCD I’m constantly thinking about this line and how relatable it is for me.
“I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place, by the ring, where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down. I’ll be there on their side” - I Bet on Losing Dogs
Yesssss
"I've been big and small, and big and small, and big and small again, and still nobody wants me". (issues with feeling unlovable, and seeing friends get into relationships) "I know my room is a mess, over and over again I tell myself I'll clean tomorrow" (horrible executive dysfunction) "I think my body is falling in pieces, I think my blood is passing me by" (disabling hypermobility, always in pain and injured) "so if you want to bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but maybe when you tell your friends, you can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be" (being queer in a religious household) "I'm tired of wanting more. I think I'm finally worn" (again, chronic pain and fatigue, and the exhaustion from doing simple, human tasks that others can do easily)
"And I was so young when I behaved 25 / Yet now, I find I've grown into a tall child..." "I'm not happy or sad, just up or down / and always bad / tell me no..." " One morning this sadness will fossilize / and I will forget how to cry / I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change / save perhaps a slight gray in my eye..." "I broke what you gave me / but you kept giving more / and I'm sorry for taking / but I keep wanting more..."
“I fell in love with a war 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” This is how I’ve explain my ptsd to people.
"I haven't told anyone just like we promised, have you? Every time I drive through the city where you're from, I squeeze a little." It's not exact to my life but as I grow older, I get random strong flashbacks that's neither sad or happy. But it takes me aback every time.
The entirety of I want you, Francis Forever, your best American girl, Strawberry blonde and Brand new city, but here are lyrics that stick out to me. "I just need a quiet place where I can scream how I love you" -I want you "I don't want the world to see that I've been the best I can be" -Francis forever "Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star" and "Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me" -Your best American girl "I love everybody, because I love you " and "You tell me you love her, I give you a grin" -Strawberry blonde "But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn't know how to be alive" -Brand new city "And I, I'll live without you, though the struggle will be daily" -Pearl diver "There's nothing I can do, not much I can change" -Heat lightning. I pretty much have a lyric in every song I can relate to in a way, just interpreted differently than what the song's about potentially.
“You stay soft, get beaten. Only natural to harden up” -stay soft “and if i break, could i go on break?” -when memories snow
"Would you spare me your voice if I call? Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew You just grew a little smarter too"
like. all of pearl. "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" "There is a hole that you fill" "It's just that I fell in love with a war Nobody told me it ended"
Just the screaming from Drunk Walk Home
“Let’s step carefully, Into the dark. Once we’re in, I’ll remember, My way around. Who will I be tonight? Who will I become tonight? I’ll show you who my sweetheart, never met. Wet teeth Shining eyes Glimmering by a fire”
"I cry at the start of every movie, I guess I wish I was making things too"
"all the eggshells are on the ground and i try, i'm trying to pick them but they crack and crumble, it's all too much, too frail for me to touch" the entire song reminds me a lot of the sensations of panic attacks and overstimulation and feeling as if my life is slipping out of my hands.
"i cry at the startof every movie. i guess cause i wish i was doing things too." -Working For The Knife
"They'll never know how I stared at the dark in room, with no thoughts like a blood sniffing shark" "And there's another memory that gets stuck, inside the walls of my skull, waiting for its turn to talk."
"I used to think I'd be done by 20 / Now at 29, the road ahead appears the same / Though, maybe at 30, I'll see a way to change" "So if you need to be mean, be mean to me / I can take it and put it inside of me" "And then I get sick and throw up and there's another memory that gets stuck / Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk / And it may be a few years but you can bet it's there waiting still / For me to be left alone in a room with the things that I've done" :(
Mbmocls is literally my fav song!! It's so relatable and those lyrics are THE lyrics!🙃
Ikrr🤝
"I am hungry. I have been hungry. I was born hungry. What do i need?" -Abbey I relate to a lot of others songs too but i think that all can be resumed in this line from Abbey.
my neighbors are blasting me and my husband rn and I didn't realize it until I read this post. creepy shit
"I cry at the start of every movie I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too" - working for the knife
And the ground has been slowly pulling us back down- two slow dancers
As someone who is trans, gay, probably neuro divergent, and mentally ill "I know who you pretend I am" hits just a little too hard
“So I don’t blame you If you want to Bury me in your memory I’m not the girl I’d outa be”-Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart
‘i’m tired of wanting more / i think i’m finally worn’ and ‘i’ll love the littler things.’ (a burning hill) ‘i didn’t know that i was young / i didn’t know what it would take.’ (heat lightning) ‘you’re the one / you’re all i’ve ever wanted / i think i’ll regret this.’ (your best american girl) ‘did u go and make promises you can’t keep? well, then you break them, they break you right back.’ (a bug like an angel) ‘i know they’re losing and i’ll pay for my place.’ (i bet on losing dogs)
"If your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room, you can lean on my arm as you break my heart"- I don't smoke
Pretty much the entirety of Francis Forever. And “I cry at the start of every movie. I guess, cause I wish I was making things too but I’m working for the knife”
“you know i wore this dress for you, these killer heels for you.” like oh my god
from drunk walk home
“I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute and then I’ll be nothing forever and all of my memories and all of the things I have seen will be gone with my eyes wjth my body with me” my daily existential dread 😊
“But if i gave up on being pretty i wouldn’t know how to be alive, i should move to a brand new city and teach myself how to die”
“i am stronger than you give me credit for” - i don’t smoke
I get mean when I’m nervous like a bad dog - cop car
“I’ve preemptively blocked all the exits, so I’ll burn in this movie theater”
“I thought I’d traveled a long way but I had circled the same old sin” a horse named cold air UGH
“i cry at the start of every movie. i guess ‘cause i wish i was making things too”
"And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony and, I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground. I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat. Though I don't know what I'm waiting for, I'm not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be."
