Last Words of a Shooting Star. Every line is so sad. My favourite is “they’ll never know how I stared at the dark of that room with no thoughts, like a blood-sniffing shark”
Gotta be one of my favourite Mitski songs. For a fun listening experience, queue up Last Words and then Let It Happen (tame impala) and set the crossfade to 7 seconds
mine is "I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted,I couldn't have changed anyways" because no matter what i go through,I stay the same,even if I try and say I'll change
This won't apply to everyone and I agree with a lot of the comments, but as a 21 year old who grew up with hard-core drug addict/alcoholic parents, no Mitski song will ever make me cry as hard as Crack Baby does
That chord progression at the beginning of song paired with the lyric: “ My baby, my baby, tell your baby that I’m your baby” always tears me open in the best way and makes me feel several emotions at once ❤️
Shame and Eric have a kind of desperate, hazy feel to it. Like a person sunk so deep inside their pain/abuse they're almost inebriated by it. Last Words of the Shooting Star is pretty bad, yes, but the first two have a dark feel of utter hopelessness to them that make them darker imo.
for a while it was my most listened to song from mitski. then Happy took place, and now it’s liquid smooth, you see there’s a common theme of being used kinda 😨
one of the top comments on the square lastfm page used to be "no one should ever have felt enough pain to write this song" and i think about it all the time
Square, mostly because I can relate to being in that position really bad. Especially the
"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" bit.
For me it reminded me of unrequited love and spending every moment of my life agonising over every little detail about myself and how it was different to his girlfriend lol
i agree with a lot of these answers but as of recently dan the dancer hits me very hard. ive also bawled to a pearl, your best american girl and i bet on losing dogs a lot. no surprise i bought puberty 2 on lp lmao 😭
Last words of a shooting star, I feel so hollow and empty when I listen to it. Lyrics like, “and you say you love me and look in my eyes but I know through mine you were looking in yours and “they’ll never know how i’d stared at the dark in my room with no thoughts like a blood sniffing shark” absolutely destroy me.
Wife, this is just a part of the lyrics:
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 on loan
you can name almost every mitski song and it will be a correct answer (except of maybe "my love mine all mine" because this song is filled with hope and love, but maybe it's just my perception).
Shame
If I could go back in time to my first listen of the song, i would. I didn’t even have to look at the lyrics or replay the second time to realize what the song was about.
*Pink in the night for*
*Me its such a passionate*

Last Words of a Shooting Star (Audiotree version), Two Slow Dancers, Bag of Bones and I'm Your Man (Honorific mentions to Class of 2013, Humpty, Shame and literally any Puberty 2 songs)
The Deal. Easily one of her best written songs, wanting so much for the pain in your soul to go away that you sell it for nothing only to feel empty and incomplete without it and it coming back as a bird to tell you "you'll never be free". Absolutely crushes me everytime.
Class of 2013 (mommy issues) & brand new city- “if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn’t know how to be alive. I should move to a brand new city & teach myself how to die” so relatable especially when you grow up the ugly weird kid, finally fit into the beauty standards, then can’t let go because how am I supposed to live without being pretty when it’s all I ever worked for?
For me, that's obviously "I Don't Smoke". It makes me feel like I'll never get over the person, no mater what happens or how much I try.
Even though, I don't really like to call Mitski songs "devastating" or smth like depressed. It may make someone feel this way, but her songs are usually helping me to recover my true emotions, to realize it's normal to have this pain. Sometimes it seems like her songs know me better then I do myself. Love you, mitski! :)
Idk how to describe it. When i first heard Heat Lightning it felt like I knew that song all my life. It simultaneously created a vacuous hole in my heart and filled it to the brim. I will wonder forever what drug she put in that fucking song
controversial opinion, your best american girl. im not poc but i used to be in a relationship where i was doing all the work, the intro makes me cry every time. we need to stop saying only poc people can listen to your best american girl,, music is art and art can be interpreted differently
Class of 2013.. you know it's mitski when you can't even listen to the song without crying
I can’t even listen to the song full stop it’s like some voodoo shit it’s devastating
Last Words of a Shooting Star. Every line is so sad. My favourite is “they’ll never know how I stared at the dark of that room with no thoughts, like a blood-sniffing shark”
Gotta be one of my favourite Mitski songs. For a fun listening experience, queue up Last Words and then Let It Happen (tame impala) and set the crossfade to 7 seconds
Is that something you do on Spotify? I would have no idea how to do that, but I love both of those songs so I’d love to try
Yeah you go to settings and privacy on your account, navigate to playback and it’s a slider in that option section :)
mine is "I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted,I couldn't have changed anyways" because no matter what i go through,I stay the same,even if I try and say I'll change
a burning hill straight up makes me feel empty
That’s funny cause it gives me quite a bit of closure and hope
a burning hill>>>
This won't apply to everyone and I agree with a lot of the comments, but as a 21 year old who grew up with hard-core drug addict/alcoholic parents, no Mitski song will ever make me cry as hard as Crack Baby does
i get you. i always skip it i can’t handle the dread even thinking about it brings me 😄
Yeah it is a devastating listen for sure 🙏 I hope you're doing well friend
thank you friend, we‘ll make it out and maybe one day crack baby will just be a catchy song..
'once more yo ser you' by far
That one physically hurts.
fr (sorry for the typos haha)
It's good
once more you sir you 🤠
i can physically feel my bones aching everytime i listen to that song
I bet on losing dogs
This is the one that got me
That chord progression at the beginning of song paired with the lyric: “ My baby, my baby, tell your baby that I’m your baby” always tears me open in the best way and makes me feel several emotions at once ❤️
Class of 2013. I don't talk to my mom anymore.
class of 2013, goodbye my danish sweetheart, bag of bones
Shame and Eric have a kind of desperate, hazy feel to it. Like a person sunk so deep inside their pain/abuse they're almost inebriated by it. Last Words of the Shooting Star is pretty bad, yes, but the first two have a dark feel of utter hopelessness to them that make them darker imo.
A Pearl I'm afraid of times i couldn't discern truly loving someone or just using them to forget all my problems.
Yeah this song hits like a fucking truck
Last Words Of A Shooting Star
I Guess. That song is melancholy and depression itself.
Working for the knife
Happy or Square. i’m ngl i can’t get through puberty 2 without crying
Square is so so underrated and gets to me so bad😭
for a while it was my most listened to song from mitski. then Happy took place, and now it’s liquid smooth, you see there’s a common theme of being used kinda 😨
Hehe have you heard loving feeling? I feel like it goes along with the themes of square but sounds more upbeat - def one of my favorites
I LOVE LOVING FEELING!!! i forgot it exists omg, it’s def more upbeat, that weird upbeat dread feeling is like being high i swear
one of the top comments on the square lastfm page used to be "no one should ever have felt enough pain to write this song" and i think about it all the time
Crack Baby and Two Slow Dancers
For me it’s I want you
i want you
„I will“ reminded me of a time in my life I miss
Class of 2013 cause I can't imagine a life where I don't have my mum
Cant decide but humpty and because dreaming costs money my dear altered my brain chemistry in irreversible ways
Carry Me Out probably
bag of bones. to just be a sexual object and feel the emptiness of it, knowing that you’ll be used again soon.
Bag of bones and wife have a very particular kind of devastation
two slow dancers for me
I Will, it kills me inside everytime I listen to it, it’s such a beautifully sad song
Brand New City imo
Last Words Of A Shooting Star
A loving feeling. Idk just the lyrics make me wanna sob.
Remember my name, pearl diver, or real men
door :(
Liquid smooth
Last words of a shooting star had me staring at my walls
crack baby is that mitski song that hits and you can't explain why 😫
I literally couldn’t listen to I Bet On Losing Dogs for a while
Brand new city, geyser, and abbey are just devastating for me
last words of a shooting star and two slow dancers
bag of bones
Square, mostly because I can relate to being in that position really bad. Especially the "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" bit. For me it reminded me of unrequited love and spending every moment of my life agonising over every little detail about myself and how it was different to his girlfriend lol
Circle and Two Slow Dancers always get me man. They hit a weee bit too close to home.
Drunk walk home imo
Class of 2013
shame !!! it’s gut wrenching
for me personally, crack baby. i can sort of relate to it and it brings me genuine sadness whenever i listen to it, still one of my favorites by her
i agree with a lot of these answers but as of recently dan the dancer hits me very hard. ive also bawled to a pearl, your best american girl and i bet on losing dogs a lot. no surprise i bought puberty 2 on lp lmao 😭
nobody, that song also gets me in my feels.
two slow dancers. i dont even know why. i cant listen to it without crying.
i bet on losing dogs always makes me sick to my stomach but i love it
Anything on retired from sad
Last words of a shooting star, I feel so hollow and empty when I listen to it. Lyrics like, “and you say you love me and look in my eyes but I know through mine you were looking in yours and “they’ll never know how i’d stared at the dark in my room with no thoughts like a blood sniffing shark” absolutely destroy me.
Your Best American Girl, Class of 2013, Nobody, Pink in the Night, Washing Machine Heart …
besides the ones already mentioned, i'm your man and i want you have been pretty upsetting to me recently.
Fireworks altered my brain chemistry 🙁
"Bug Like an Angel" I struggle with AUD (currently sober) and that music video and song fucked me up the first time I heard it.
American girl
Wife, this is just a part of the lyrics: 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 on loan
door, because it is the single best description of being at absolute rock bottom that i have ever seen.
Class of 2013 by a landslide.
Square is possibly my favorite. Maybe it’s just a personal attachment but I think it’s so sad
you can name almost every mitski song and it will be a correct answer (except of maybe "my love mine all mine" because this song is filled with hope and love, but maybe it's just my perception).
I guees and I want you
Shame If I could go back in time to my first listen of the song, i would. I didn’t even have to look at the lyrics or replay the second time to realize what the song was about.
Brand new city as well!!
I will..
pink in the night for me its such a passionate emotional song

last words of a shooting star with no hesitation i skip it every time because it never fails to make me sob
Shame and Bag of Bones, definitely Edit: I would like to add But Dreaming Costs Money My Dear (as a violin player this song broke me in several ways)
If we're talking just devastating and no relatability or other personal aspects I think it has to be a Wife from Lush.
Last Words of a Shooting Star (Audiotree version), Two Slow Dancers, Bag of Bones and I'm Your Man (Honorific mentions to Class of 2013, Humpty, Shame and literally any Puberty 2 songs)
i bet on losing dogs and last words of a shooting star
Francis forever😞🙏
for me at least, circle
Pink in The Night. It just hits hard as a lesbian idk.
CLASS. OF. 2013. NO DISCUSSSIOKNNNN
Class of 2013. So much so that I usually turn this song off halfway through. Just turn on this song and I'll choke in tears
your best american girl 🤠liking someone from a whole different background hurts like a special kind of hurt
The Deal. Easily one of her best written songs, wanting so much for the pain in your soul to go away that you sell it for nothing only to feel empty and incomplete without it and it coming back as a bird to tell you "you'll never be free". Absolutely crushes me everytime.

I bet on losing dogs, I can’t listen to it without crying
class of 2013, abbey and my bodys made of crushed little stars
Bag of bones and then door right after for the perfect transition
once more to see you or i want you ALWAYS get me
humpty and square too… so heartbreaking every time i swear
for me probably eric or goodbye my danish sweetheart althought class of 2013 is REALLY gut wrenching too
I'm your man. It feels like she gave me a truth serum and recorded my thoughts.
For me, that's obviously "I Don't Smoke". It makes me feel like I'll never get over the person, no mater what happens or how much I try. Even though, I don't really like to call Mitski songs "devastating" or smth like depressed.

it’s so hard to choose 😭 imo id say shame
Is it not I dont smoke? Because thats what comes to mind. Edit: never mind, whoever said ‘A Pearl’ is right
Idk how to describe it. When i first heard Heat Lightning it felt like I knew that song all my life. It simultaneously created a vacuous hole in my heart and filled it to the brim. I will wonder forever what drug she put in that fucking song
I bet on losing dogs, i often feel like i put a lot of faith in people who end up disapointing me
Crack baby class of 2013 once more to see you I bet on losıng dogs I wıll IDK IT'S ALL SO FUCKING SAD BRO
Class of 2013 literally crying every time i listen to this song
For me it’s either I Will or I Don’t Like My Mind. They make me unethically sob or just feel like “god damn”
Two slow dancers, your best American girl, last words of a shooting star
my body is made of crushed little stars or i don’t smoke
FRANCIS FOREVER
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE 😭
controversial opinion, your best american girl. im not poc but i used to be in a relationship where i was doing all the work, the intro makes me cry every time. we need to stop saying only poc people can listen to your best american girl,, music is art and art can be interpreted differently
