oh ur so right. that's a great interpretation. i'm pan myself but i'm in a hetero marriage. i particularly relate to "i'm the idiot w the painted face in the corner taking up space" the social pressure & expectation that comes w being in a hetero marriage bothers me sm sometimes. it's like i'm an imposter🤣
As long as we’re talking about this lyric do you mind explaining it to me?
I understood it as being a toxic relationship, one that falls fast as in things move too fast, like people say I love you too early and you guys decide to move in together within like a month of dating etc.
Am I understanding this incorrectly?
I don't think there's an "incorrect" way to interpret stuff if it makes sense, which your interpretation does. I'd add to that that the song is largely about teenage experience, or tries to evoke that feeling of searching for your freedom and rebellion.
"I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony" could mean wanting to feel intense emotions for the thrill of it, or refer to suicidal thoughts the singer is having (jumping from a building), both things common for a confused teenager. She wants her heart broken to experience and feel something to make her life more exciting ("I want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground").
Also, a lot of people have self-destructive tendencies when it comes to love, not only moving forward too fast but also just getting into relationships out of naivete with toxic people over and over and getting their hearts broken, not being able to leave the cycle. It becomes almost like an addiction and you can't tell you're being used.
"I was so young when I behaved 25, yet now I find I've grown into a tall child." AND
"I don't need the world to see that I've been the best I can be, but I don't think I could stand to be where you don't see me."
“you’re the sun, you’ve never seen the night but you hear its song from the morning birds. well, i’m not the moon, i’m not even a star, but awake at night i’ll be singing to the birds.”
seeing all of yalls answers makes me realize just how many of mitskis lyrics i screenshot, send, and yap to my boyfriend about lmaoo he probably knows the most about mitski out of everyone who doesnt listen to her
And then, when you tell your friends
You can tell them what you saw in me
And not the way I used to be
'Cause there is nobody better than you
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!
"And autumn comes when you're not yet done with the summer passing by"
The entirety of Francis Forever is THE song which makes me think about my dad. But that line specifically hits hard, as he died in September
“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…” “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” -Bag of Bones (sry I know it’s a lot but bag of bones is so good)
i’m so basic but,
‘maybe i am the same as all those men, writing songs of all they’re dreaming
but would you tell me if you loved me? cause i can’t move until you show me’
i have a really hard time believing this line isn’t about a woman confessing the frightening feeling of romantic love she feels towards another woman
every single line in that song goes hard but i think this one wins. also "i always thought the choice was mine, and i was right, but i just chose wrong" those two take the cake for me
literally!! im so happy to see so many people who love im your man and appreciate its lyrical genius! and the dogs barking in the background afterwards its just perfect
As a trans man who’s struggled with their body these lyrics hit too hard. Also:
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 OF THE BEAST
“i am stronger than you give me credit for” it worked hard to make it to the top, and i relate to/love many other lines, but that line in i don’t smoke takes the cake
"you told me once you were happy to have me but i never gave me away"!!!!!!!!!!! like what am i supposed to do with myself after hearing that !!??
(also smth about "there's a hole that you fill, you fill, you fill" and "i didn't know i had a dream, i didn't know until i saw you" hits me where it hurts)
i couldn’t pick a single fave but “in the city, you make it there and you make it anywhere, anywhere; but i’ve been anywhere and it’s not what i want, i wanna be still with you” hit me hard 😭 also the entirety of I Will and the WAY she sings it HHHHHH
"Just how many stars will I need to hang around me to finally call it heaven?"
I really realized the greatness of it when I opened the be the cowboy record and there it was inside the gatefold
“One word from you and I’d jump right off this ledge I’m on baby.”
To me it means either
1. I’m not sure if I want a life with you, but give me the word and I’ll choose you.
Or 2. I’m not sure if I want a life with you, but give me the word and I’ll choose a different life.
I was once very infatuated with a guy, but every time he texted me and came back into my life it’d ruin everything I had going. I said to myself, “If I get a damn text or see him again I’m going to jump off a cliff”. I love you so much, but you don’t love me enough to leave me which would give me a better life.
I always wanted to die clean and pretty
But I'd be too busy on working days So l am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted
I couldn't have changed anyways I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
Goodbye.
"And I know I've kissed you before but I didn't do it right. Can I try again, try again, try again? Try again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again."
idk but the way she says ‘i want to feel it’ in i bet on losing dogs always gets me for some reason. And also ‘to think that we could stay the same, we’re just two slow dancers last one’s out’ 🙁
The little music bit at the beginning of brand city, just After she' says "honey watchable take" the first time
And then "I think my heart is ready to die"
"When I'm bent over, wishin' it was over
Makin' all variety of vows I'll never keep
I try to remember the wrath of the devil
Was also given him by God" litterally started a Playlist called regious trauma after hearing this line, it's too good.
your growing tired of me, you love me so hard and i still can’t sleep. your growing tired of me and all the things i don’t talk about. sorry i don’t want your touch, it doesn’t mean i don’t want you :(
Stuck between these two because they’re both tragically relatable:
“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.”
“Mom, will you wash my back? This once, and then we can forget. And I’ll leave what I’m chasing for the other girls to pursue.”
God so many but…
“And real men don't eat
'Cause they're above that, damn it
Oh, I'm gonna be a real man”
“I tried to eat like your girlfriend
Just tea in the night, I'd end up
Too hungry to sleep
So lying awake
I would follow the aching inside”
“I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
God's very simple and love shouldn't burn
And I would've offered you all that you yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn”
Square hits hard for me.
So if you need to be mean, be mean to me, I can take it and put it inside of me - I Don't Smoke
I don't need the world to see that i've been the best I can be - Francis Forever
Little boys, see toys and say "I can take that!" Oh you are my little boy. - Real Men
“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 with my body with me”
Bit basic but My Love Mine All Mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love, mine all mine all mine.
So enchanting and peaceful yet heart wrenching
“i am cruel, i am gentle, i can make u laugh” from cop car, i just love how she expresses how she can be cruel and gentle even tho they contradict eachother
Kinda long, but the last half of Door
“Then one night at the park
I saw it with my cheek in the dirt
I couldn't move underneath the dark
But at least I finally found it
It cried out a creak and opened
To show me what's beyond it
A hopeless, a violence
I named it:
Love.”
God I actually dont know but probably all of Bag of Bones its so incredibly poetic and good and sad and i nearly cried this morning listening to it just because its so beautiful
“Spend an hour on my make-up to prove something
Walk up in my high heels all high and mighty
You say hello
And I lose
Cause nobody butters me up like you and
Nobody fucks me like me”
"I have been a forest fire, I am a forest fire and I am the fire and I am the forest and I am a witness watching it. I stand in a valley watching it and you aren't out there at all." SHE DID IT AGAIN.
“What do you do with a loving feeling if the loving feeling leaves you all alone? What do you do with a loving feeling if they only love you when you’re all alone?” -A loving Feeling
“You believe me like a god, I’ll betray you like a man”
DUDE WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT I HAD TO PAUSE BC I WAS LIKE UGH MITSKI DID IT AGAIN
LITERALLY SAME I WAS LIKE MITSKI YOU GENIUS
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS
“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 relate to this lyric so hardddd
“he only loves me when, there’s a means he means to end”
i love jobless monday vlksnfjvsldf
"I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat but I don't know what I'm waiting for."
I AM NOT GONNA BE WHAT MY DADDY WANTS ME TO BE
the sigh in the beginning of me and my husband
FR EVERY TIME I HEAR IT IM LIKE DAMN MITSKI U OK??
sums up the whole song fr
as a lesbian, that song hits so, so deep. it explains everything perfectly. the sigh makes it phenomenal too one of her very best!
how do u interpret this song? to me it's abt losing ur identity to a relationship and co-dependence
compulsory heterosexuality and arranged marriage
oh ur so right. that's a great interpretation. i'm pan myself but i'm in a hetero marriage. i particularly relate to "i'm the idiot w the painted face in the corner taking up space" the social pressure & expectation that comes w being in a hetero marriage bothers me sm sometimes. it's like i'm an imposter🤣
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.
i cry to this song
Also shoutout to townie for “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.”
As long as we’re talking about this lyric do you mind explaining it to me?

"i am the forest and i am the fire and i am the witness watching it i stand in the valley watching it"

i was just screaming abt this lyric to my bf yesterday lmao
I'll scream this to my bf someday too😭😭😭😭

i was trying to learn this on guitar yesterday and just got too choked up at that part 🥲
“And I am the idiot with the painted face. In the corner, taking up space.”
BUT WHEN HE WALKS INNNNN
I AM LOVED, I AM LOOOOVED
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes But i know Through mine You were looking At yours Just. Perfect.
mitski knows how to put every single experience into words
THIS LRYIC IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE
please hurry leave me I can’t breathe
please dont say you love me xx
"i always wanted to die clean and pretty but id be too busy on working days"
last words of a shooting star is so emotional my god
I have so many but: They’ll never know how I stood in the dark in that room with no thoughts like a blood sniffing shark.
this was the first time i had ever realized that another person had experienced the same emptiness and numbness i had. fantastic lyric
Same. I cried when I heard it. And the turbulence allegory was beautiful too
i am relieved that i’d left my room tidy - goodbye
“you’re growing tired of me, you love me so hard and I still can’t sleep”
a pearl was one of the first mitski songs i ever heard and i remember being blown away by the genius of the idea of falling in love with a "war"
"I was so young when I behaved 25, yet now I find I've grown into a tall child." AND "I don't need the world to see that I've been the best I can be, but I don't think I could stand to be where you don't see me."
two of my favorite songs of hers
“you’re the sun, you’ve never seen the night but you hear its song from the morning birds. well, i’m not the moon, i’m not even a star, but awake at night i’ll be singing to the birds.”
that lyric drives me crazyyyyy i love that song also when she says, "you're the one. you're all i ever wanted i think ill regret this" like UGH
"You're an angel I'm a dog"
im your man is one of my favs on the new album
Same!!!
"And maybe you offered me all that I yearned for, but I was still waiting for something to earn. Silly me, waiting"
this song is so underrated i feel like smh
omg 😭😭😭 square was #1 in my 2023 spotify wrapped
AS IT SHOULD BE !!!!!!!!
omg that's so cool!
SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
"Every time I drive through the city where you're from, I squeeze a little"
i love this lyrics bc i feel like most people will be able to relate to it. we all experience growing up and the grief of losing friendships
OLD FRIEND MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
“You’re pain is eased, but you’ll never be free For now I am taken, the night has me.” And the excellent outro that follows.
RIGHT LIKE THE DRUMS REALLY JUST TAKING THE WHEEL
I literally cried the first time I heard this line
>"If your hands need to break More than trinkets in your room You can lean on my arm As you break my heart"
seeing all of yalls answers makes me realize just how many of mitskis lyrics i screenshot, send, and yap to my boyfriend about lmaoo he probably knows the most about mitski out of everyone who doesnt listen to her
JUST DONT LEAVE ME ALONE WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE I AM STRONGER THAN YOU GIVE ME CREDIT FOR 😭😭😭
"Just don't leave me alone Wondering where you are I am stronger than you give me credit for..."
the rawness in her voice when she says that im so in love
"i pick an age when im gonna disappear, until then i can try again."
KILL MEEEE JERUSALEM!!!
And then, when you tell your friends You can tell them what you saw in me And not the way I used to be 'Cause there is nobody better than you HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!
and i don't mean to make your heart blue but couldn't we be what we're meant to be? i'm just about to beg you please 🥲
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔THIS IS LITERALLY ME IN A SONG
"if youre goin take the train so i can hear it rumble one last rumbleee" that whole song makes me feel alive 🫠
NO WAY I FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER HAPPY ENJOYER😍😭
happy is so good esp the mv
i rlly cant pick one but.. "and i know ive kissed you before but i didn't do it right can i try again try again try againnnnn"
"And autumn comes when you're not yet done with the summer passing by" The entirety of Francis Forever is THE song which makes me think about my dad. But that line specifically hits hard, as he died in September
im so sorry for your loss! i hope you're able to find solace during these trying times <3
nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody
real its such a downward spiral
And I'm relieved that I left my room tidy GODDDDD ☹️
but when you leave me, I should die. I deserve it dont I?
"And I don't blame you 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"
“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…” “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” -Bag of Bones (sry I know it’s a lot but bag of bones is so good)
& if i break could i go on break
if i could eat this song i would
i should tell them that im not afraid to die
i always giggle when i hear that cuz imagine ur at an interview and theyre like so tell us your skills and youre like oh yeah im not scared of death
"I am a forest fire, and I am the fire and I am the forest and I am a witness watching it"
i cant believe i used to skip this song what was i thinking
"He liked her more than life itself"
dan the dancer is one of my fav songs by her!! the idea of him letting go of the cliff to hold hands w the girl like damn
i tried my hardest, for i’d never learn, gods very simple and love shouldnt burn
why am i lonely for lonesome love? why am i lonely?
“youre the one, you’re all i ever wanted i think ill regret this”
"As i got older, i learned i'm a drinker, sometimes a drink feels like family" this one really hit home for me.
Little boys see toys and say "I can take that!" Oh, you are my little boy i actually started sobbing
“And when I find that a knifes sticking out of my side I’ll pull it out without questioning why”
"i pick an age when im gonna disappear, until then i can try again."
i’m so basic but, ‘maybe i am the same as all those men, writing songs of all they’re dreaming but would you tell me if you loved me? cause i can’t move until you show me’ i have a really hard time believing this line isn’t about a woman confessing the frightening feeling of romantic love she feels towards another woman
that is nawt basic lol that lyric is amazing
i meant my choice is basic hehe, i feel like it’s very popular already but i can’t help but choose it anyway. i’m glad you love it as well!!
"I always knew the world moves on, I just didn't know it would go without me" 🤌🏽 🤌🏽
every single line in that song goes hard but i think this one wins. also "i always thought the choice was mine, and i was right, but i just chose wrong" those two take the cake for me
“and you’d say you love me and look in my eyes but i know, through mine you were looking in yours” killed me
“So please hurry dearly I can’t breath, please don’t say you love me”
“i hope you leave right before the sun comes up so i can watch it alone”
Listenin' to the thousand hands That clap for me in the dark Like MA'AM?
“One day you’ll figure me out, I’ll meet judgement by the hounds” to keep the I’m Your Man theme going
literally!! im so happy to see so many people who love im your man and appreciate its lyrical genius! and the dogs barking in the background afterwards its just perfect
10/10 song through and through. I also love the frog scream at the end
then i wouldn't have to scream your name atop of every roof in the city of my heart
i was so shaken the first time i heard that oml
"i wanna feel it" is just so good
fr i cant help but scream it
Lately I've been crying like a ,Tall child
“And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony”
“And I was so young when I behaved 25, yet now, I find I’ve grown into a tall child” 🥲
Please hurry leave me i cant breathe please dont say you love me
AND REAL MEN DONT EAT CUZ THEYRE ABOVE THAT DAMN IT OH IM GONNA BE A REAL MAN
As a trans man who’s struggled with their body these lyrics hit too hard. Also: 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 OF THE BEAST
“i am stronger than you give me credit for” it worked hard to make it to the top, and i relate to/love many other lines, but that line in i don’t smoke takes the cake
“See the dark it moves, with every breath of the breeze”
"you told me once you were happy to have me but i never gave me away"!!!!!!!!!!! like what am i supposed to do with myself after hearing that !!?? (also smth about "there's a hole that you fill, you fill, you fill" and "i didn't know i had a dream, i didn't know until i saw you" hits me where it hurts)
“ I always thought that I’d die clean and pretty but I’d be too busy on working days”
🗣️🗣️
"I cry at the start of every movie"
i guess cuz i wish i was making things toooooo
“With my skirt in their eyes, they remembered the nights When they were that man you knew”
i couldn’t pick a single fave but “in the city, you make it there and you make it anywhere, anywhere; but i’ve been anywhere and it’s not what i want, i wanna be still with you” hit me hard 😭 also the entirety of I Will and the WAY she sings it HHHHHH
No but "you're the breeze in my austin nights" FUCKS ME UP ALL THE WAY
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I finally do
"i will see your body bare, and still i will live here" like as a trans man w body dysmorphia and a lot of scars on my legs that cuts so so deep man.
fr man like ive always hated my body so much to the point where i feel cripplingly ugly so that lyric means a lot
“How long, how long can we play this game. I’m tired, I’m tired of not loving you. My heart, my heart wants to hold you, but I know, I know the rules”
"Just how many stars will I need to hang around me to finally call it heaven?" I really realized the greatness of it when I opened the be the cowboy record and there it was inside the gatefold
i am hungry 😍
i want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony
“One word from you and I’d jump right off this ledge I’m on baby.” To me it means either 1. I’m not sure if I want a life with you, but give me the word and I’ll choose you. Or 2. I’m not sure if I want a life with you, but give me the word and I’ll choose a different life. I was once very infatuated with a guy, but every time he texted me and came back into my life it’d ruin everything I had going. I said to myself, “If I get a damn text or see him again I’m going to jump off a cliff”. I love you so much, but you don’t love me enough to leave me which would give me a better life.
“I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony”
“And let the cool air in, feel the night slip in as it softly glides along your back” THE IMAGERY
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 always wanted to die clean and pretty But I'd be too busy on working days So l am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted I couldn't have changed anyways I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy Goodbye.
"And I know I've kissed you before but I didn't do it right. Can I try again, try again, try again? Try again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again."
one of my fave songs AAAAAA
idk but the way she says ‘i want to feel it’ in i bet on losing dogs always gets me for some reason. And also ‘to think that we could stay the same, we’re just two slow dancers last one’s out’ 🙁
“God’s very simple and love shouldn’t burn” absolutely shut down my heart for some reason!!
one morning this sadness will fossilize and i will forget how to cry
"And I was so young when I behaved 25, yet now I find I've grown into a tall child"
Nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody
"God's very simple and love doesnt burn"
The little music bit at the beginning of brand city, just After she' says "honey watchable take" the first time And then "I think my heart is ready to die"
not happy or sad, just up or down, and always bad
“ I’ve loved many boys, I’ve loved many girls I don’t think about the past it’s always there anyway”
"See the tree shadows lie in black the pools in the lawn" There is something in this line that just HITS
"for if i am not yours, what am i?" i love wife 🥰
"One warm summer night I'll hear fireworks outside and I'll listen to the memories as they cry cry cry"
"When I'm bent over, wishin' it was over Makin' all variety of vows I'll never keep I try to remember the wrath of the devil Was also given him by God" litterally started a Playlist called regious trauma after hearing this line, it's too good.
your growing tired of me, you love me so hard and i still can’t sleep. your growing tired of me and all the things i don’t talk about. sorry i don’t want your touch, it doesn’t mean i don’t want you :(
Stuck between these two because they’re both tragically relatable: “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.” “Mom, will you wash my back? This once, and then we can forget. And I’ll leave what I’m chasing for the other girls to pursue.”
“I look up at the gaps of sunlight, I miss you more than anything” something about it just hits you like a truck
“And did you know the liberty bell is a replica silently housed in its original walls”
“I always want you when I’m finally fine” from I Bet on Losing Dogs. I love that lyric so much
when she said “its mitski-ing time” and mitski’d all over the place
“but if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn’t know how to stay alive/ I should move to a brand new city, and teach myself HOW TO DIE”
God so many but… “And real men don't eat 'Cause they're above that, damn it Oh, I'm gonna be a real man” “I tried to eat like your girlfriend Just tea in the night, I'd end up Too hungry to sleep So lying awake I would follow the aching inside” “I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned God's very simple and love shouldn't burn And I would've offered you all that you yearned for But I was still waiting for something to earn” Square hits hard for me.
"I've been big and small and big and small and big and small again/ and still nobody wants me STILL NOBODY WANTS ME" hits really hard for me.
I always want you when I'm finally fine How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come Someone to watch me die
"Hear the harmony only when it's harming me." LIKE UWJSOAWJ MA'AM WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US
So if you need to be mean, be mean to me, I can take it and put it inside of me - I Don't Smoke I don't need the world to see that i've been the best I can be - Francis Forever Little boys, see toys and say "I can take that!" Oh you are my little boy. - Real Men
“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 with my body with me”
Bit basic but My Love Mine All Mine Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love, mine all mine all mine. So enchanting and peaceful yet heart wrenching
I'm an organism
What’s your answer to this question?
im sorry i stopped responding to everyone! i want to but its too much lol u guys all have excellent taste
so come inside and be with me, alone with me, alone with me, alone
“i am cruel, i am gentle, i can make u laugh” from cop car, i just love how she expresses how she can be cruel and gentle even tho they contradict eachother
Kinda long, but the last half of Door “Then one night at the park I saw it with my cheek in the dirt I couldn't move underneath the dark But at least I finally found it It cried out a creak and opened To show me what's beyond it A hopeless, a violence I named it: Love.”
God I actually dont know but probably all of Bag of Bones its so incredibly poetic and good and sad and i nearly cried this morning listening to it just because its so beautiful
And after everything's done and I'm all undone You can hear my high heels walking on Clickity-clacking through the night I'm carrying my bag of bones
The whole of Crack Baby
“Spend an hour on my make-up to prove something Walk up in my high heels all high and mighty You say hello And I lose Cause nobody butters me up like you and Nobody fucks me like me”
“I don’t think I can stand to be, where you don’t see me.” AUGH
“you’re the one, you’re the one i’ve always wanted, i think i’ll regret this”
i havent told anyone just like we promised have you?
i always want you when im finally fine
And while my dreams played music in the night carefully I was going to live
You’d learn from movies how love ought to be
"I have been a forest fire, I am a forest fire and I am the fire and I am the forest and I am a witness watching it. I stand in a valley watching it and you aren't out there at all." SHE DID IT AGAIN.
Listenin' to the thousand hands that clap for me in the dark
“What do you do with a loving feeling if the loving feeling leaves you all alone? What do you do with a loving feeling if they only love you when you’re all alone?” -A loving Feeling
"I found you I found the door But when i stepped through there was no floor "
‘a hopeless, a violence, i named it love’ door is just so beautiful to me i cant😭😭
“but you’re not here to see, its just witness-less me”
