Mitski's new album 'The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We', featuring the song "My Love Mine All Mine" is out now. Watch the music video: th-cam.com/video/vx4kLgnFexo/w-d-xo.html Listen to the album: mitski.lnk.to/TLIIASAW
do you ever think about the shit she went through? all of her songs are about her personal expiriences and trauma. she went through so much i wish i can meet her so i can tell her how she literally saved my life. whenever i went through something i just listened to her songs and thought about life. i love mitski sm much i wish i can give her a hug cuz she deserves it
@kitycats there is hope I hope you feel better someday. I just found mitski tonight and I’m binging her songs. They just make me feel I can’t explain it but I’m glad I found her music
actually, she said that some of her songs are about fictional situations (for example me and my husband) but I'm sure a lot are about her experiences. I hope she's doing well
i observed alot of her songs mostly ive heard its abt her husband cheating or not wanting the relationship and alot more :( i feel hella bad but i can relate to some or alot of her songs
Mitski has said that at least some of her songs aren't autobiographical. But I do think that she has been through a lot of pain, simply because she understands and conveys it so well. I think some of her songs are about situations she experienced but I think some are imagined experiences/stories inspired by feelings she experienced.
i feel like this song goes hand and hand with a loving feeling like her being in a relationship with someone who only wants her for her body, but she truly loves them and wants to be with them so she'll sexualize herself to keep them around even if it hurts her because she cant let go of what could be
when she asks what her price is, it makes me feel like that this relationship has been going on for so long that she now thinks of herself as an object for people to use up while she silently hurts
she mentioned in a interview that her music style changes as she changes but i feel like though a lot of her songs sound different theyre all telling one long story
“blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth. as you smile at my trembling shoulders. but your skin, did you notice your skin cries a soft weep just like mine.” DAMN
@@mcyeru ik im late but i think its about someones s/o hiding their feelings for them and the person singing finally finds out, thats how i interperate it
@@mcyeru I believe that the singer is in an abusive relationship but then one day she notices that her lover is scared too meaning that she isn’t completely out of control.
@@yareyaredaze9909 This song is about loving a partner who is just using you and you know it but keep going back to them I interpret this line to say that the partner has the potential to love you. All the components are there, but they still don't love you.
Bro I've been listening to Mitski for a full year and I love how each of her songs feels like a discovery. Everytime I listen to her music I notice something new.
This song hits me really hard. I was in an abusive relationship as a teen and he took advantage of me for years. Used me for sex (I was a virgin), money, and knew he could control me because I was insecure, young and naive. Constantly talked about my weight, cheated on me, had tantrums for bad reasons and treated my family horribly. He said many concerning things.... His name was Eric.
[Verse 1] You like control, well, I do, too Take off my clothes and watch me move You can come closer, I'll let you hurt me How you choose [Bridge] Help me with the zipper on my skirt it's stuck As you kneel, I'll be watching you fix me This view of you, of the top of your head makes me forgive you [Hook] But how long, how long can we play this way? I'm tired, I'm tired of not loving you My heart, my heart wants to hold you But I know, I know, I know the rules [Verse 2] Blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth As you smile at my trembling shoulders But your skin, did you notice your skin? It cries a soft weep like mine also, I'll sell My whole to you What's my, what's my price? How 'bout, how 'bout just a part of you? Cause I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want
2:50 the harmonization of all the voices asking “how about just apart of you” is so pretty but heartbreaking to me; it makes me picture different layers of a narrator begging their significant other to let them into their heart and love them on a higher plane than just physical. Or perhaps many women unfortunately falling for the same man who keeps promising them all something bigger but in reality only wants them for sex.
and then the synth piano in the background just makes everything more shattering. It captures the exact feeling of despair and hopelessness and I love mitski for her ability to evoke such emotions but I hate how easily she can make me cry.
quite honestly, I've been listening to this song on repeat for a few weeks and I think I've finally come up with a decent theory on what I think the song is about. it sounds like a song about a girl who is a stripper (I'll explain), a prostitute, or maybe just in some type of sexual relationship where she has fallen in love with the other person but they can't be together. About the person being a stripper, I only say this because of the first few lines like "take off my clothes and watch me move" and "blue light, dark room". If you really pay attention to the lyrics, it doesn't sound like she is in any type of abusive relationship. Lines like "my heart wants to hold you but I know the rules" and "I'll sell my heart to you...what's my price...how about just a part of you" really supports my idea that this girl wants to be in a real relationship with the other person but something is blocking her (my guess is some type of agreement or contract that you would have with a stripper/prostitute or a f*ck buddy you are seeing). I also think that maybe the other person might have the same feelings as this girl (not sure if I should be calling this girl Mitski or not) but I'm still on the fence. I get this feeling from this line "But your skin did you notice your skin it cries a soft weep like mine". So that's pretty much what I think that line means and that's all I have. I wasn't able to find a good solid theory on what the meaning behind this song was and thought I should write one up. Then one morning, I was listening to it and it all clicked for me. I hope this was in any way helpful to anyone who was curious about the possible meanings behind this song
@@algueera that line is about the girl trying to suppress her feelings for the other person. She wants to be in a relationship with them and love them without holding back or hiding feelings or anything getting in the way. the fact that she says "we play this way" insinuates that the feeling is mutual but something is getting in the way of their feelings.
Odd thing to point out but there’s a sharp noise somewhere in the middle of the song, 1:50, going back and forth (if you wear headphones) in each ear. One of them eventually stops making noise, while the other keep goings. I don’t know what this means but it feels intentional.
i'm assuming it symbolizes arguing/dysfunctional relationship with a lack of solid communication? the one that stopped making noise first probably symbolizes mitski's lack of satisfaction in the relationship and the other one symbolizes eric (i'm assuming that's what the guy's name is) trying to shut her up or not letting her talk. or maybe i'm looking into it too much
Although I haven’t been in any abusive romantic relationships, I appreciate this song so much for the chain noises that you can hear in the background which could symbolize being stuck. And the unhinged feeling that comes with the screwing/unscrewing and banging of heavy mechanics sound within the song that also blends in with the uneasy violins. It’s all just so eerily perfect to me and it really captures what feeling disturbed by your circumstances feels like very well.
Its absolutely unbelivable how underated Eric is, this song is an absolute masterpiece and the fact it only has 500k views on youtube is literally insane.
this feels like emptiness through terror like being stuck on one level in a video game where there isn’t an option to pause and quit it feels like shallow emptiness and i love it
I don't know why but Eric sounds like my first and (for now) only drunk experience. Without paying attention to the lyrics though, just how the music, the environment, voice and tones makes me feel like that memory, really anxious and puzzled
this song reminds me when i was 16, i had a manipulative gf and all she did was use me for money, took me away from my friends, lead me into drugs and she just was awful, this song really just reminds me of her in a good way. this song just explains how the relationship was when i was with her.
i feel like this is about a woman (not going to refer to her as mitski, but mitski is singing as her) going through the pain of being in love with someone and wanting them so badly you’d do anything, and she is in a friends with benefits/fuck buddy situation with them, and when she says ‘How long, how long, can we play this way’ it’s her becoming more and more tired of their current arrangement, and she just wants them to love her back.
The part of singing as a character is really interesting since I believe Mitski once said that when writing songs she plays a character and not necessarily events from her own life.
My favourite album from mitski. It’s so heart wrenching to listen to and hear because it sounds sad and yet it’s so beautiful made. Mitski is so talented
hauntingly good idk how to explain like harmonising and backing vocals slowly getting louder towards the end. mitski is just so talented she just manages to capture every single emotion i didnt even have i had.
God how I love this song, I don't know how to explain what it makes me feel but the sounds and the background noises, the violins, and obviously the beautiful voice of this woman it's just so magical, it all fits so well that shudders me
As someone with autism, considering we can depict these songs how we please, to me, this is how the concept of sex sounds like to me. In a sense, it feels mentally degrading, yet you know it is, of course it is, that’s the point, to feel vulnerable. Sensitive. Should you let yourself go, just to wake up knowing it was all for the thrill of one night, until you go back to do it again? It’s not like you’re a summer fling, really, but the concept of sex to me really shatters the safety and security a relationship might have in my eyes. I might be wrong because I’m young, but sex (for now at least) is almost like a contract that you can’t read the fine print of until you’re done, and then, you do it again. Under the sheets you’re a monster dancing with pleasure and control, kissing the lips of a shadow. And in the morning, you’re watching TV with your lover, your body used appropriately and still tingly with ecstasy. I’m probably having an ill view of sexual exchanges, but this song “Eric” kind of voices how I feel (with some more verbal explanation previously) about sex or the concept of being in a relationship, and having a sort of “hidden behind a veil” moment with your significant other quite perfectly. Even if it’s your first time, too, isn’t it scary? Regardless of your age? I kinda think about that a lot. Anyway, hope I don’t A, get bombed for my comment. And B, have my words taken the wrong way! Just a little ramble about my favorite song. I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s day! It’s a really nice day from what I can see :p
I love this synopsis sm 😭 am also autistic and have been hyperfixated on this song for soso long the vocalist definitely felt this way and she felt like she was obligated to bc he didn’t lije her and was only using her for his own gain the thing that makes it so damning to me is that she wrote this all in present tense ((and sometimes future but never past) ((And only using 2nd person narration) I feel like that’s a very crucial detail to point out bc if it’s present, then that means it’s currently happening and she feels like it’s never going to stop and even in the future it’s going to continue to happen until he grows tired of her and discards her completely 🙁
@@chimmy1161 something along within the Biophilia album. The atmosfere, I mean. Listen to the beginning of Dark Matter: th-cam.com/video/jftqAiER31Q/w-d-xo.html
“you like control, well i do too. take off my clothes and watch me move you can come closer, i’ll let you hurt me how you choose” she knows it’s wrong, she doesn’t want him to be in control but what she doesn’t know is how wrong it is she can’t find the control she once convinced herself she had she questions herself if it were ever there or if she’d been making it up because when it’s comes down to the real situation she’s given in, lets him do as he pleases “help me with the zipper on my skirt, it’s stuck as you kneel i’ll be watching you fix me this view of you, of the top of your head, makes me forgive you” she reminisces on the good parts of him hoping it will overlook the bad she decides it does because he didn’t actual mean it, right? he’s not like that and it’s not that bad anyway so she forgives him “but how long, how long can we play this way i’m tired, i’m tired of not loving you my heart, my heart wants to hold you but i know, i know, i know the rules” shes grown tired of the abuse she truly wants to love him and move past this but he only hurts her more or maybe she wants hold him, coddle him but he doesn’t feel love for her, only lust so she keeps to herself “blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth as you smile at my trembling shoulders but your skin, did you notice your skin it cries a soft weep like mine” he doesn’t feel bad he doesn’t have empathy it’s just not one of his values he drowns in the pleasure of her fear it makes him feel powerful on top of the world she knows he’s a bad person but she can’t help but feel pity for him he wasn’t born this way it was brought upon by his own abuse and trauma in a sick way they are the same “i’ll sell, i’ll sell my heart to you what’s my, what’s my, what’s my price how bout’, how bout’ just a part of you ‘cause i want, i want, i want, i want i want i want i want i want i want” he use to love and respect her, long before she’s searching for that part of him now but she knows it’ll never be the same what’s done is done nevertheless she’ll still give herself up to find it she knows it’s hurting her but it’s all she wants
I can’t tell if this is about an abusive relationship or if it’s about some form of bdsm? The general eerie and uncomfortable tone leads me to the former option
I think it's about rationalizing an abusive relationship. The speaker knows that they are being hurt, but they keep trying to convince themselves that they are in control.
It sounds to me like she loves someone who doesn't love her back, but her want for them is so strong that she sleeps with them anyway, and the only time they give her something back ("this view of you, of the top of your head makes me forgive you" which sounds like oral sex to me) is through sex. She's bargaining with her feelings ("How 'bout just a part of you?")
I just realized I’m listening to the most emotion inducing album by her, all the while making a Lammy from Um Jammer Lammy cosplay How did I… get here????
I haven’t heard this interpretation that much, and is about a “friend-with-benefits” kind of relationship in this song, where both sides like or try to be in control in this, which is why they are in this kind of relationship, but the lyrical voice wants something more, something serious, with the other person, instead of just having s3x and acting like strangers in front of others (‘cause if you listen to the verses, is implied that they’re having s3x during this), the lyrical voice wants to LOVE the other person, but said person doesn’t want anything serious (for diverse reasons). The lyrical voice questions how long they can pull up with this, they are TIRED of this act, but they don’t want to lose the other person, so they just continue to stay in this relationship, giving/selling their whole and body to the other person. PS : i read a short hamilton/laurens fanfic that had this dynamic between the both of them (laurens wanting to love hamilton and be with him, but knowing that ham will never be satisfied with nothing)
“I’m tired I’m tired of not loving my heart my heart wants to hold you” hurts so much. Me and my girlfriend started off as close friends and fell inlove, yet she’s so difficult and I’ve been hurt before. And everything she does reminds me of him. The one who hurt me. And I don’t want to hurt her by leaving her but everybody wants her or wants her to get with her ex and I’m tired of fighting for someone I don’t even love anymore, it’s honestly painful. I’m tired of acting like I care. I miss the friendship we had
My interpretation of the song is her submitting to a man, letting him do whatever he wants to her because she loves him. Originally, he hurt her.. she still asks for help and as she sees how obedient he was and didn’t mind helping, that made her forgive him. Still remembering how she’s being used like this is a little game, she questions how long they can keep playing this way.. how long can we keep seeing each other like this? hooking up?, she craves his love, her heart wants him. The “rules” are her not being able to fall for him, since he’s just there for pleasure but it’s changed.. still she suppresses her feelings towards him, or at least- tries to. As she gets hurt again, he smiles at her shaken up body. Little does he know, she knows all too well that he’s hurting as well.. his skin cries like hers. She offers to sell her heart to him, something you NEED to have or else you’d die, that’s how far she’d go for someone like Eric. She asks for a part of him, she wants him to feel the same way.. that’s why she wants a part of him because it wouldn’t be fair if she just gave up her heart only for him to run away with it. Eric has been doing that all along though, continuously leading her on.
Its depressing how i can relate to this song in such a way were i can sing it, i have never felt a feeling this strong with a song like this, makes me want to just sing it to the person that hrut me, especially this part (time sets of the part start to end) 2:032:17

My favourite album from mitski. It’s so heart wrenching to listen to and hear because it sounds sad and yet it’s so beautiful made. Mitski is so talented
go too mental breakdown album
i have trauma with a boy named eric and his name brings back very bad memories but im still gonna listen to this no matter what
yeah for mitski 🙌
yeaaah
I'd die for her
same.
hauntingly good idk how to explain like harmonising and backing vocals slowly getting louder towards the end. mitski is just so talented she just manages to capture every single emotion i didnt even have i had.
My god this is such a heartbreaking song, i can't relate to it in the slightest and it still makes my insides twist every time i listen to it
anyone else shaking
This song>>>>
God how I love this song, I don't know how to explain what it makes me feel but the sounds and the background noises, the violins, and obviously the beautiful voice of this woman it's just so magical, it all fits so well that shudders me
As someone with autism, considering we can depict these songs how we please, to me, this is how the concept of sex sounds like to me. In a sense, it feels mentally degrading, yet you know it is, of course it is, that’s the point, to feel vulnerable. Sensitive. Should you let yourself go, just to wake up knowing it was all for the thrill of one night, until you go back to do it again? It’s not like you’re a summer fling, really, but the concept of sex to me really shatters the safety and security a relationship might have in my eyes. I might be wrong because I’m young, but sex (for now at least) is almost like a contract that you can’t read the fine print of until you’re done, and then, you do it again. Under the sheets you’re a monster dancing with pleasure and control, kissing the lips of a shadow. And in the morning, you’re watching TV with your lover, your body used appropriately and still tingly with ecstasy. I’m probably having an ill view of sexual exchanges, but this song “Eric” kind of voices how I feel (with some more verbal explanation previously) about sex or the concept of being in a relationship, and having a sort of “hidden behind a veil” moment with your significant other quite perfectly. Even if it’s your first time, too, isn’t it scary? Regardless of your age? I kinda think about that a lot. Anyway, hope I don’t A, get bombed for my comment. And B, have my words taken the wrong way! Just a little ramble about my favorite song. I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s day! It’s a really nice day from what I can see :p
I love this synopsis sm 😭
am also autistic and have been hyperfixated on this song for soso long
the vocalist definitely felt this way and she felt like she was obligated to bc he didn’t lije her and was only using her for his own gain
the thing that makes it so damning to me is that she wrote this all in present tense ((and sometimes future but never past)
((And only using 2nd person narration)
I feel like that’s a very crucial detail to point out bc if it’s present, then that means it’s currently happening and she feels like it’s never going to stop and even in the future it’s going to continue to happen until he grows tired of her and discards her completely 🙁
this album is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me
I can hear some Bjork influence in this one.
generally i think she has her air in a way :)))) agre with you though (with your coment,that is)
what song?
@@chimmy1161 something along within the Biophilia album. The atmosfere, I mean. Listen to the beginning of Dark Matter: th-cam.com/video/jftqAiER31Q/w-d-xo.html
Great minds. Just felt the same vibe
@@maciel.4539 it always gave me 'possibly maybe' vibes
no words can describe how much this song changed my life
“you like control, well i do too.
take off my clothes and watch me move
you can come closer, i’ll let you
hurt me how you choose”
she knows it’s wrong, she doesn’t want him to be in control
but what she doesn’t know is how wrong it is
she can’t find the control she once convinced herself she had
she questions herself if it were ever there
or if she’d been making it up
because when it’s comes down to the real situation
she’s given in, lets him do as he pleases
“help me with the zipper on my skirt, it’s stuck
as you kneel i’ll be watching you fix me
this view of you, of the top of your head, makes me forgive you”
she reminisces on the good parts of him
hoping it will overlook the bad
she decides it does
because he didn’t actual mean it, right?
he’s not like that
and it’s not that bad anyway
so she forgives him
“but how long, how long can we play this way
i’m tired, i’m tired of not loving you
my heart, my heart wants to hold you
but i know, i know, i know the rules”
shes grown tired of the abuse
she truly wants to love him and move past this
but he only hurts her more
or maybe she wants hold him, coddle him
but he doesn’t feel love for her, only lust
so she keeps to herself
“blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth
as you smile at my trembling shoulders
but your skin, did you notice your skin
it cries a soft weep like mine”
he doesn’t feel bad
he doesn’t have empathy
it’s just not one of his values
he drowns in the pleasure of her fear
it makes him feel powerful
on top of the world
she knows he’s a bad person
but she can’t help but feel pity for him
he wasn’t born this way
it was brought upon by his own abuse and trauma
in a sick way they are the same
“i’ll sell, i’ll sell my heart to you
what’s my, what’s my, what’s my price
how bout’, how bout’ just a part of you
‘cause i want, i want, i want, i want
i want i want i want i want i want”
he use to love and respect her,
long before
she’s searching for that part of him now
but she knows it’ll never be the same
what’s done is done
nevertheless she’ll still give herself up to find it
she knows it’s hurting her
but it’s all she wants
my HeArt my heART
I can’t tell if this is about an abusive relationship or if it’s about some form of bdsm? The general eerie and uncomfortable tone leads me to the former option
Kami W I thought it might be a bit of both, mainly because I could hear keys jangling in the background at 0:28
i feel like its about an unsatisfactory purely sexual relationship & wanting more
@@luka1258 Yeah I mainly got that vibe from it
I think it's about rationalizing an abusive relationship. The speaker knows that they are being hurt, but they keep trying to convince themselves that they are in control.
It sounds to me like she loves someone who doesn't love her back, but her want for them is so strong that she sleeps with them anyway, and the only time they give her something back ("this view of you, of the top of your head makes me forgive you" which sounds like oral sex to me) is through sex. She's bargaining with her feelings ("How 'bout just a part of you?")
ily mitski please dont explode
mitski do you need a hug?
every time I listen to this I cry without fail lol
this song is genuinly so tragic and i love it
The best song of the album.
I'm in love with this album
the vocal performance and lyricism of this song could easly devour any chart at the moment. This song is incredible.
love her in every single way
I just realized I’m listening to the most emotion inducing album by her, all the while making a Lammy from Um Jammer Lammy cosplay
How did I… get here????
first mitski song i’ve heard cause i’ve never heard mitski before
this is really good
i listened to a few others and i think this one is my favorite
mitski if she was a horror movie
Te amo mitski
Best Mitski Song 🎶
The last few notes are heartbreaking for some reason
“Blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth as you smile at my trembling shoulder.” Is definitely interesting
Mitski’s songs really leave me speechless
underrated song from lush, i could listen to this all day
I’m taken by this.
I haven’t heard this interpretation that much, and is about a “friend-with-benefits” kind of relationship in this song, where both sides like or try to be in control in this, which is why they are in this kind of relationship, but the lyrical voice wants something more, something serious, with the other person, instead of just having s3x and acting like strangers in front of others (‘cause if you listen to the verses, is implied that they’re having s3x during this), the lyrical voice wants to LOVE the other person, but said person doesn’t want anything serious (for diverse reasons). The lyrical voice questions how long they can pull up with this, they are TIRED of this act, but they don’t want to lose the other person, so they just continue to stay in this relationship, giving/selling their whole and body to the other person.
PS : i read a short hamilton/laurens fanfic that had this dynamic between the both of them (laurens wanting to love hamilton and be with him, but knowing that ham will never be satisfied with nothing)
This is my favorite song from you, mitski. It has such raw emotion with such a slow rhythm, it almost hypnotizes me.
god i love the instrumental… it sounds so sinister, fits the mood of the song 100%
"Taiwan taiwan taiwan taiwan
."
Yes i know its i want im just saying it sounds like mitski really loves taiwan

ERIC HAS 1M VIEWS
Trippy
“I’m tired I’m tired of not loving my heart my heart wants to hold you” hurts so much. Me and my girlfriend started off as close friends and fell inlove, yet she’s so difficult and I’ve been hurt before. And everything she does reminds me of him. The one who hurt me. And I don’t want to hurt her by leaving her but everybody wants her or wants her to get with her ex and I’m tired of fighting for someone I don’t even love anymore, it’s honestly painful. I’m tired of acting like I care. I miss the friendship we had
My interpretation of the song is her submitting to a man, letting him do whatever he wants to her because she loves him. Originally, he hurt her.. she still asks for help and as she sees how obedient he was and didn’t mind helping, that made her forgive him. Still remembering how she’s being used like this is a little game, she questions how long they can keep playing this way.. how long can we keep seeing each other like this? hooking up?, she craves his love, her heart wants him. The “rules” are her not being able to fall for him, since he’s just there for pleasure but it’s changed.. still she suppresses her feelings towards him, or at least- tries to. As she gets hurt again, he smiles at her shaken up body. Little does he know, she knows all too well that he’s hurting as well.. his skin cries like hers.
She offers to sell her heart to him, something you NEED to have or else you’d die, that’s how far she’d go for someone like Eric. She asks for a part of him, she wants him to feel the same way.. that’s why she wants a part of him because it wouldn’t be fair if she just gave up her heart only for him to run away with it. Eric has been doing that all along though, continuously leading her on.
My favorite mitskinsong wver
god i love so much this song
el sentimiento que tiene esta canción es increible
i’ve been listening to this on repeat for a week straight
Musical Mastery !!
tbh the whole lush album feels like a fever dream
tiene una melodía tan relajante y agregando la voz d Mitski queda como resultado una hermosa canción
I love this song 😭
The reason I got into listening to mitski is the heartbreak caused by a man named Eric. The irony.
My interpretation of this song is a toxic arranged marriage but you can’t get divorced do to each other do to your reputation.
Its depressing how i can relate to this song in such a way were i can sing it, i have never felt a feeling this strong with a song like this, makes me want to just sing it to the person that hrut me, especially this part (time sets of the part start to end) 2:03 2:17
i'm obsessed with this song
EMPEZE MI AÑO 2022 CON EL MEJOR ÁLBUM AYUDA, TE AMOOOOO MITSKI
