I really think this song is about her lying to herself. She's saying she has a perfect husband, a perfect relationship but the sigh at the start says otherwise. She's lying to herself to convince herself that she's fine and that she's happy.
Nope. The breath at the start is her audibly demonstrating the breaths she steals from the world stated in the next lyrics. She just loves her husband :)
i think it’s about how’s she’s insecure, but her husband makes her feel beautiful.. but i also feel like it has a different meaning like what you think
I imagine a young woman sitting ashamed at the table during a family gathering after her relatives nah her about how she hasn't gotten a boyfriend yet. Then she brings some random guy she's not that in love with home but she's GOTTA get married soon and this guy is nice and likes her so he's gotta be the one. She brings him home and suddenly she's gotten the approval of her family. "When he walks in, I am loved, I am loved" 😞
In an interview with the 405, Mitski says this about “Me And My Husband”: …I think a lot of marriages are like that because that’s what it is; it’s no longer about being in love. It’s really hard to stay in love and keep the spark. When you get married and you’re with someone for years and years, it no longer becomes about infatuation or having your heart aflutter. But the song is just about “you know what, this may not be love anymore, and I may be unhappy, and I’m going to die one day and this is just going to be my life.” But then turning around and saying “this is the decision I made, and you’re the person I chose, so I’m just going to stick with you. We have our problems, but this is our life and we’re going to live it.” And that’s what it’s about.
i see it as happy, just the concept of love being this wholesome.. and both the couple are making the other feel like a queen/king, and if one of them is insecure just feel confident and beautiful when the other walks in. and can communicate in problems, and stick together til death takes them apart
@@وحده_من_أقمار_كوكب-المشترىi see it the sad way, as if either she's trying to convince herself or lying to her family/friends abt her marriage. The sigh at the beginning is like she's preparing herself to lie and also the way she sings the emotion in her voice makes me feel that way (thats why this song is so interesting we can have such different opinions abt it !)
@@lxhna4841 i see it the way you do. i've been surprised to learn people read it as genuinely optimistic, i assumed they must not have been listening closely enough, but you're right, it's better (for lack of a better word... or for lack of a non-better word i guess lol) if it can meaningfully be interpreted in different ways.
Nobody asked but my interpretation of the song is that she's living a happy yet unfulfilled life. She is a stay at home wife who takes care of the house while her husband is the one who works, she loves him and he loves her but she can't help but feel like she's missed out on what life has to offer. Possibly from marrying at a young age and getting stuck in a routine, she would do things differently if she could go back but she can't so she's resigned herself to this lifestyle. I get this from the fact that she talks about how she's stupid in a corner until her husband comes home and loves her and about how they will at least stay together in this life. Sorry for if this comment isn't coherent.
this is why i love music,, everyone sees it differently personally i feel like she’s trying to convince herself to love him for his sake, i feel like he really loves her but she doesn’t 😕😕
@@reguriflop No, it is not like that between the people of very distant cultures .. Two people from such cultures feel infinite interest and greater love and appreciation comparing to their native people .. 🔥💞 They don't take their partner for granted, the value each other more and they find more attractive features in their partner from another country then she would find in her country .. 😘😍
i know this song is about a (either empty or fulfilling) marriage, but for me it represents the hope in life. life sucks, but holding onto that tiny glimmer of hope, no matter how small, keeps me going. “but when he walks in, i am loved, i am loved, so i bet all i have on that furrowed brow, and least in this lifetime, we’re sticking together” if i hold onto hope, i can believe that i am/will be loved, so i will keep going. when i listen to this song after a tiring day, i sigh with her at the start to release my stress and settle into the upbeat music to remind myself i have to believe things will get better. it’s the kind of mentality mitski sings about: switching between pessimistic and insecure to hopeful and holding onto a better future someday. it’s why this song is my comfort song.
hello lgbt community edit: im aware this song is about poc experiences, i was just pointing out that the majority of people who listen to mitski happen to be apart of the lgbt community so please stop fighting in the replies💀
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 body with me But me and my husband We're doing better Its always been just him and me Together So i bet all i have on that Furrowed brow And at least in this lifetime We're sticking together And am i the idiot with the painted face in the corner, taking up space but when he walks in, i am loved, i am loved Me and my husband We're doing better It's always just been me and him Together So i bet all i have on that Furrowed brow And at least in this lifetime We're sticking together Me and my husband We're doing better
@@siarauthan9818 It's easier to read it in a comment where you already know what's coming than in the video where you have to wait for the lyrics to come out.
Reading the comments, I was surprised to see that the song is generally considered sad. To me it was always a happy song. Like two people who are struggling in their relationship but still working hard to make it work, not giving up on each other and what they have together. That's how I interpreted the "we're getting better" and the " in this lifetime we're sticking together". Just two lovers dedicated to each other, even in the hard times.
@@petyrkolew9319 Hello Pepoto, regretably I must inform you that il have red the rest of the song, and my interpretation of the lyrics is up to me, and me alone. If you want every lyrics of every songs to be overly bleak, that's your right and I wont argue with that, so if you could be respectful of songs interpretation that isn't just yours, that would be super great.
i think the song is about existential dread. the first few lines express this notion - she thinks about how meaningless and tiny her own existence is, how it will all be gone soon and how her life amounts to nothing more than stealing some oxygen from the earth. but when someone she loves walks in, she can forgot these feelings and her life has some meaning. she can “bet all she has on that furrowed brow” and knowing she is loved makes it bearable to live. even though her life is ultimately meaningless and she’ll die, she and her husband are sticking together in this life time. it’s a song about how the existential worries of existence are quelled in the presence of people we love.
It makes me so sad that so many people are labelling this as a toxic relationship (which is fine, music is up for interpretation), because I don’t see it as being toxic at all. For me, this song is about a woman who feels insecure about herself, having to have a ‘painted face’ because she has to fake being happy around everyone. But for her, when her husband walks in, it makes her feel loved and genuinely happy. At the start of the song, she sighs because it relates to the lyrics where she talks about her breathing before she dies, but then the music gets more upbeat when she sings of her husband, because she remembers that, even though her life is difficult, at least she has her husband who loves her.
I’m pretty sure that in a interview with the singer she said how the song is about losing love in a relationship. The happy and cheerful tone is meant to be ironic in a way
@@pepsi6356 I was talking about my point of view on the song, I know about the interview. Besides, people are seeing it as full on toxic, not just losing love in a relationship
@@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587 Because it’s a dark way to interpret it and a stark contrast to how I interpret it. Don’t judge, okay? I simply said my opinion, and just because it’s not as popular as other opinions, it doesn’t give you the right to attack it
Many people have said that this song is about her unhappiness in her marriage, but as someone who's facing a ton of depressing crap (including the loss of many former friends) the way this song comes of to me at least is... different. Right now, the only thing keeping me going is my boyfriend. We are both in deep shit, we both regret so many things, and fear for the future. Still, we stick together; to each their own struggles, but we're there for each other, listening, accompanying, and adoring one another throughout the storm.
this is exactly how i feel! i don't wanna send it to him in case he looks in the comments and sees that it was supposed to be about an unhappy marriage.. but i don't feel that way!!
Relying entirely on only one person can create dependency, that's quite literally what this song depicts. She has no one but her husband, no matter how much of a waste of space he calls her, he always ends up switching back to nice mode and showering her with love. That's why victims of toxic relationships tend to say they're doing better just because their partner apologizes after having been horrible to them. Mitski is not known for writing happy and lighthearted songs anyway.
me and my husband is about an immigrant woman and the distress of a culture clash vs the joy that comes from loving someone u actually like who u can depend upon and analyzing it from a solely white lens or worse,treating it as a trapped housewife/comphet song just diminishes it's value in this essay i will-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who just couldn't see everyone else's "trapped wife" perspective of the song. I come from an interracial household and I'm in an interracial relationship. People don't realize how much cultural stuff you have to work through in order to make one work. You can't stick to family values that are traditional of either side. You have to work through a lot of the clashes that result.
I wonder if you got this info off of maybe genius lyrics, hmmmmmm... not discrediting you if you did, it's just a super clear explanation and I was taken aback.
For me the "when he walks in I am loved, I am loved" feels like shes saying how she feels like she is nothing without him. People dont want to pay attention to her unless he's with her, she's just "in the corner taking up space"
she confirmed late september she's releasing a mixtape for a graphic novel in march! EDIT; For future reference, you fucks, the mixtape isn't being released for public and will only come with the book. The only song that she released was The Baddy Man, and it's instrumentals, but that's IT
Me and my husband was the song me and my crush bonded over because we had an inside joke we were an old married couple. Now we are a couple and still listening to Mitski, what a wonderful artist. It'll always just be me and him together 💜
@@sleekyissleepy its the same with "Pearl" and her earlier song "Pearl Diver" its really interesting the interactions between her titles between albums
There are so many interpretations in the comments that I absolitely love but I daydream of a scenario in which shes talking about how despite the ups and downs of their relationship along with their seperate hardships in life, her husband will always be there for her. Even when that giddy feeling of being newly in love fades, they'll always stick together.
What I love about Mitski songs is that you can interperet them however you want (as long as you acknowledge the original meaning) whenever you need to hear them.
I'd just like to say that yes, marriage often ends up being boring for many people. The honeymoon phase can't last forever. But that's not a bad thing, and every marriage is different, I FIRMLY believe that you can end up with the right person, who grows alongside you as you both navigate life and always has your back, and that you can both have a happy, fulfilled existence. But marriage isn't for everyone. Whatever happens though, I hope you end up happy and that you bring happiness to others too.
I love the feeling of disconnect from her husband. The talking in third person and not mentioning his name makes it feel like he doesn't exist, or like he's absent, which just adds so much to the song. Love it
I personally think this song is about how she's really insecure about herself but her husband makes her feel better. I don't think it's that deep tbh but that's my interpretation.
I wouldnt say that he simply "makes her feel better" but more like he's the one she's sure about the feelings, and she accepts his love as all she can have, but somehow wishes for more.
My eyes: reading comments My lips: singing along My head: bobbing slightly to the beat My hands: scrolling through the comments My mind: recalling old memories SUCH A NOSTALGIC SONGGGG
not me thinking this song is about someone who is very depressed, even suicidal, but still has someone that she feels good and loved with, that she may even depend on to feel fine. when she’s not with him she thinks she’s a waste of space, that no one cares about her, but when her husband comes in she is reminded that someone loves and cares for her. because of this she wants to be with and around him for as long as she can, stick together, and is praying that he never leaves her. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
i like to think this song is about getting out of the honeymoon phase, when the love stops being the type you see in movies. esp with the progression going from the sigh (exposition) to excitment (rising action) leading into the eventual marriage (climax) and then the fall back of 'damn do i really love this person enough to spemd my life with them? do the good parts overweigh the bad? why do i feel so unfulfilled?' (falling action) to accepting regardless of whether she likes it, this is the life she signed up for (resolution). and i think that type of a marriage is a common one, how sometimes you can look at your parents and see they fell out of love but for the convience and the refusal to accept the truth, they stay together because they may not love eachother now but they did at one point and that string of reasoning is what forces the crippling relationship together
The thing I like about this song is that it's not really sad, it's just "This is life, fuck it we're living like this now" and it's kind of empty-feeling as a result even with the not-so-empty feeling instrumentals painting a rosy image of the song and marriage as a whole
my interpretation of this song is that she is telling herself that her and her husband are in a healthy relationship because he is manipulating her to think that
@Happii ii I disagree with that I think that's more from a sense of insecurity. So that she's projecting this feeling of what is she doing with her life but he is an anchor for her and helps I think is mutual to give each other meaning.
She describes feeling loved when he is around, and that while they are alive (in this lifetime) they are sticking together. Sounds like a loving relationship with a woman who has existential anxiety.
I believe that this song is about a woman who tries so hard to cope with depression, for reasons unrelated to her marriage, but when she's with her husband, the only one she feels like who understands her, shoulders her burden with her, she feels loved, and does better because of that. I can't see any hint of abuse or sadness from her voice, or in the lyrics. In the song Build Me Up Buttercup, the instrumental of the song is happy, but the lyrics are about a person being left hanging by their date. I didn't feel that energy with Me and My Husband, and I feel like they really ARE doing better.
I love this song so much because it can be interpreted in a number of ways You can interpret it as a song about someone who has issues and that is relying on her husband for support You can interpret it about a marriage that is no longer what it used to be You can interpret it as about a toxic relationship, where the wife is trying to convince herself that she is alright and that she is better staying with him You can interpret it as a love song about a couple that have their problems like any other but at the end they solve them togheter because they love each other Any of these interpretations are valid and that's why it is such a beatitiful song
This song is a reminder of what my wife and I went through. There was a moment when she was considering leaving due to my alcoholism. But before that, my wife was hospitalized and almost died due to internal blood loss. That was the day I got sober and never touched the bottle again. It has been over 1 year since I quit drinking and started taking therapy seriously. We both have lost over 90lbs, and her health has improved significantly. She is the love of my life, and I will do everything to ensure our happiness. Just because you go through things in life does not give you the right to bring others down.
after a scary amount of thinking i’ve come up with a theory and whether mitski herself meant to actually do this or not, im actually shaken notice how most of everything in the first verse doesn’t rhyme. minute, forever, seen. there’s not much to work with, and upon first listening, i assumed it was normal - after all, rhyme isn’t something mitski goes out of her way to prioritize. that is, until we make our way to the second verse. the verse where mitski first begins singing about the husband. you could even argue that the rhyming begins before that, with words “seen” and “me.” the song goes on, and everything else seems to check out besides two specific lines: “so i bet all i have on that furrowed brow” and “but when he walks in, i am loved, i am loved.” what i think this erratic rhyming pattern might represent is the fact the narrator’s husband has taken over their conscious mind. the beginning, where no rhyme could be found, took place before the “marriage” in question. the person telling the story was living to the beat of their own drum. however, as things start to rhyme again, you could come to the conclusion that this is where their “eyes, mind, and body” are gone. lines that go against the scheme and refuse to rhyme are like glimpses of their old self shining through, trying to break out. i also noticed that the music gets more intense at these parts that don’t rhyme, and are also immediately followed up with reassurance that their husband and them are going to stick together. this person is manipulating themselves, and the rhyming (or lack of) is supposed to represent how the marriage has tamed them. their new personality is that of their husband’s. all they want to do is please him. although they may know/used to have known the drastic effect it’s had on them and their life, they’re consumed by the relationship. little of the person they used to be other than this husband-pleasing form of themself remains, except for in moments where they realize the weight of the situation, such as when they’re “betting everything they have on that furrowed brow” and the rhyme scheme is broken. hlp me im not this is not ok 🗿
You have done a great analysis of the rhymes, but I think the parts about the husband, rhyme actually because when he's there, they can deal with problems together and even though life is difficult, they can still work things out and be happy. When there aren't rhymes, the husband isn't there or they are fighting: the situation it's difficult and not harmonic, there aren't rhymes.
This song is beautiful. The lyrics and music are like building up until she says "But when he walks in, I am loved I am loved." That's so pretty to me idk why
here is a story i wrote inspired by this song hope someone will see it Waking up in the big white bed to see her husband’s back facing her. She smiled but soon as he turned to face her this smile faded. He looked at her with his cold empty gaze and close them again, she knew this was not a sign for her to return to sleep or cuddle in his embrace but a sign to go do her daily imposed routine the first task: cooking. She took a few breaths before stepping in the kitchen… A place that remind her of so much memories. She wondered why is she doing this? why is her husband so cold? he was perfect… When no one is around, he never looked at her with the warm smile he gave his friends and family…He is so perfect and nice with others but not with his wife. It’s true that this was an arrange marriage however HE chose her. He accepted. She wished he can love her like the first days if he ever did; she will never know his true self but she loves him; she does care she see him as a handsome, smart, gentleman. She tried to look appealing and pretty as any stereotypical woman would, she tried to seduce him, but the only thing she had right to is a mocking laugh saying “stop playing with makeup like a little girl it’s not working” for him she is just the dumb maid in the corner. She is nothing, and her husband is everything. She hates him and loves him. Either ways they will stay together till death nothing matter more than. That hidden promise every marriage keeps and will forever. She will probably not make it but she will try till he loves her...she doesn’t know when and how but sometimes she thinks that it will be too late…
If anyone watches aot, this song reminds me of Ymir and Historia. I don't know why, but it does. 🤷♀️ Edit: It doesn't match a lot it just reminds me of em.
This song makes me realise Our relationship isnt happy. Its hiding behind fake feelings, i feel trapped. But how do i tell them this...idk. i'll stay faithful tho...i will.
just be honest, most likley thing is they feel the same way and you will come up with something together. Being honest and upfront will make it less painful in the long run, goodluck
why is nobody talking about the first couple lyrics?? I have no idea why but it hit so hard, just the thought about when i die all of my memories and the things iv experienced will be lost forever and can never be retrieved. that part of the song always puts a lump in my throat and gives me chills. i hope someone appreciates that part as much as i do🙏
@@shesforeign they changed their policy where all auto generated music can't have comments because they can't moderate them enymore. since december 18th
i would love to see a music video for this song. i think a concept in which there is a man standing in the center of the screen the whole time while mitski dances around him fluidly would express the song’s meaning in a good way, the “husband” isn’t contributing and the “housewife” is putting all her efforts into the relationship, all the while the housewife is pretending their marriage is engaging and not dull or melancholic
1:14 is legit my fave part of the whole song... And I'm the idiot with the painted face In the corner, taking up space But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved Doesn't have to be about him at all just when anyone steps in to check in on me
its like im just an idiot living in this stupid world that no one even cares about but when HE walks in, i am loved, i feel like theres a purpose. hes the one who cares and hes the one i care for. the moment he walks in- life has meaning, i am loved.
@@ameligotrizz yes this. like no one cares when im in the room but when he walks in i feel like the most important girl EVER. i hope he treats you well x
I honestly just get WandaVison vibes form this song now. But my own personal interpretation of this song is about a woman who really does love her husband but the married life did not turn out how she thought it would be. So they just slowly work on their marriage, hence we're doing better.
Those are the best teachers and you can tell they actually love their job because they care about their student's well-being. I wish all teachers were like that but unfortunately, a lot aren't.
I think this song is about a woman codependent of her husband, she will only see her "worth" with him; without him she is just "nothing", and does everything she can to keep him: Hence the lyric "so I bet all I have on that". "I bet all I have on that furrowed brow" obviously, people, that brow belongs to someone, and that someone sure is her husband! She gives everything and relies her self-worth to her husband. Before the lines where her husband comes in the picture, and it's just the wife talking about herself in there. She often describes herself depressingly "nothing" when she is alone, especially the second part where she talks about just herself again "and I'm the idiot with a painted face, in the corner taking up space". You could blatantly see from there that she views herself negatively, she is insecure. Everytime her husband pops up she feels loved, and when she is loved she gets to love herself. She cannot love herself alone. Codependent, clingy, insecure wife to the husband to the point he is the only person she interacts with. She only gets a sense of worth with her husband, not from anyone else, and it's just her that's sticking onto him so much. That's why in her view, it's only been him and her together.
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 But me and my husband We're doing better It's always been just him and me Together So I bet all I have on that Furrowed brow And at least in this lifetime We're sticking together Me and my husband We're sticking together And I am the idiot with the painted face In the corner, taking up space But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved Me and my husband We're doing better It's always been just him and me Together So I bet all I have on that Furrowed brow And at least in this lifetime We're sticking together Me and my husband We're sticking together Me and my husband We're doing better
My parents have been fighting recently and my mom is always defending him and they always keep up this image that they’re perfect and this song just reminds me of their relationship and I think I’m gonna force her to listen to this.
this song gives me so much comfort in a way, it reminds me of my parents and especially my mama :( my dad is really abusive and my mum basically has Stockholm syndrome from him. She always says “he’s changing!” “we’re doing better” “things are getting better, I swear!!”. But she’s in so much denial, she could do so much better but her self esteem is so damaged she feels like she deserves the mistreatment he puts onto her. My mother is one of the strongest and most beautiful women I’ve ever known, I just want her to be safe and genuinely happy. I’m so sick of this vile, sorry excuse of a man continuing to torment and bully my mother, my siblings and me.
My situation mirrors yours, and this song is such catharsis that sometimes I play it when my parents are both around, even though I know the context is lost on them.
Everyone is writing what they think this song is about, so I will, too. I think this song is about codependency and basing your happiness on someone else/not living for yourself. Many women base their happiness based on how their husband and kids are doing.
This song reminds me of my old best friend. We were so close, it was always just the two of us. She had no friends, neither did I. We just “stuck together” 0:36 One day, we had this really heated fight. Then she just told me “Go, I don’t need you. I have other people who actually care about me.” 0:20 I felt like I related to the “painted face” part. And the part where she mentioned that once he walked in, that’s when she felt loved, I felt like that was her anytime I needed her. 1:16 We’re not doing better. But we act like it, she’s blocked me on everything. I try talking to her, and make eye contact with her. She just looks away. 2:03 I wished I valued her more, she was the funniest yet sweetest person I ever met, and I regret everything, I still can’t forgive myself. ((One more thing. I asked her what she was listening to one day, and she said “Me and My Husband” I miss her more than anything in the world. it pains me more than anything to see her happy with her new friends, but i’m glad she’s happy. i’m literally tearing up while wring this lmao))
This song is such a masterpiece. I feel like it gives off such a circus vibe to it. Considering she says “and I am the i idiot with a painted face” referencing a clown. MITSKIIIIII

No hate for twilight, but this is how I imagine Edward x Bella ACTUALLY is; despite Edward's controlling and manipulative tendencies, Bella is still willing to stay with him for eternity and is basically just convincing herself that whatever they have is not abusive whatsoever. It's been a long time since I've read the books, so feel free to correct me.
this song makes me feel such intense emotion, its like nothing and everything at once. the beautiful vocals, the sighs, the lyrics, the music, its an absolute gem of a song.
i believe the backstory to this is mitski is the wife of someone, mitskis husband doesn't really love her but mitski genuinely loves him. mitski has a make-believe world where her husband loves her and they have a picture-perfect relationship or like a world in the past where theyre love isn't dead and where they love each other. "were sticking together" where they're actually loving each other and like theyre going out together on dates, staying together etc but in reality he doesn't like doing this. mitski is singing about this in the make-believe world. as her husband is out somewhere mitski likes to go to the imaginative world to think about her husband and acts as if he really loves her. i think the husband is cheating or something on mitski aswell but she is acting as if there's a spark in their connectiom
The best thing about this song is that Mitski didnt cut out the breaths she took between lines,
so you can sing along with her
Now I’m extremely aware of the sound of her breathing lmao

In an interview with the 405, Mitski says this about “Me And My Husband”:
…I think a lot of marriages are like that because that’s what it is; it’s no longer about being in love. It’s really hard to stay in love and keep the spark. When you get married and you’re with someone for years and years, it no longer becomes about infatuation or having your heart aflutter. But the song is just about “you know what, this may not be love anymore, and I may be unhappy, and I’m going to die one day and this is just going to be my life.” But then turning around and saying “this is the decision I made, and you’re the person I chose, so I’m just going to stick with you. We have our problems, but this is our life and we’re going to live it.” And that’s what it’s about.

this is exactly how i feel about my husband, it's hard to stay in love and it's hard to love.
This song can be interpreted as either a sad or happy song.... love that
Fr
It’s bitter-sweet
i see it as happy, just the concept of love being this wholesome.. and both the couple are making the other feel like a queen/king, and if one of them is insecure just feel confident and beautiful when the other walks in. and can communicate in problems, and stick together til death takes them apart
@@وحده_من_أقمار_كوكب-المشترىi see it the sad way, as if either she's trying to convince herself or lying to her family/friends abt her marriage. The sigh at the beginning is like she's preparing herself to lie and also the way she sings the emotion in her voice makes me feel that way (thats why this song is so interesting we can have such different opinions abt it !)
@@lxhna4841 i see it the way you do. i've been surprised to learn people read it as genuinely optimistic, i assumed they must not have been listening closely enough, but you're right, it's better (for lack of a better word... or for lack of a non-better word i guess lol) if it can meaningfully be interpreted in different ways.
mitski is therapy
fr
yes.
Yea fr
right
I like your pfp
Nobody asked but my interpretation of the song is that she's living a happy yet unfulfilled life. She is a stay at home wife who takes care of the house while her husband is the one who works, she loves him and he loves her but she can't help but feel like she's missed out on what life has to offer. Possibly from marrying at a young age and getting stuck in a routine, she would do things differently if she could go back but she can't so she's resigned herself to this lifestyle.
I get this from the fact that she talks about how she's stupid in a corner until her husband comes home and loves her and about how they will at least stay together in this life.
Sorry for if this comment isn't coherent.
Omg I love this
I really like this interpretation. Gives me a new perspective of some of the lyrics.
Thank you
this is why i love music,, everyone sees it differently
personally i feel like she’s trying to convince herself to love him for his sake, i feel like he really loves her but she doesn’t 😕😕
@@reguriflop No, it is not like that between the people of very distant cultures .. Two people from such cultures feel infinite interest and greater love and appreciation comparing to their native people .. 🔥💞 They don't take their partner for granted, the value each other more and they find more attractive features in their partner from another country then she would find in her country .. 😘😍
i know this song is about a (either empty or fulfilling) marriage, but for me it represents the hope in life. life sucks, but holding onto that tiny glimmer of hope, no matter how small, keeps me going.
“but when he walks in, i am loved, i am loved, so i bet all i have on that furrowed brow, and least in this lifetime, we’re sticking together”
if i hold onto hope, i can believe that i am/will be loved, so i will keep going.
when i listen to this song after a tiring day, i sigh with her at the start to release my stress and settle into the upbeat music to remind myself i have to believe things will get better. it’s the kind of mentality mitski sings about: switching between pessimistic and insecure to hopeful and holding onto a better future someday. it’s why this song is my comfort song.

Reading the comments, I was surprised to see that the song is generally considered sad. To me it was always a happy song. Like two people who are struggling in their relationship but still working hard to make it work, not giving up on each other and what they have together. That's how I interpreted the "we're getting better" and the " in this lifetime we're sticking together". Just two lovers dedicated to each other, even in the hard times.

I'm sorry if I sound aggressive. I'm on a bad day
@@machinfacultatif9012 hope you're doing well now
i think the song is about existential dread. the first few lines express this notion - she thinks about how meaningless and tiny her own existence is, how it will all be gone soon and how her life amounts to nothing more than stealing some oxygen from the earth. but when someone she loves walks in, she can forgot these feelings and her life has some meaning. she can “bet all she has on that furrowed brow” and knowing she is loved makes it bearable to live. even though her life is ultimately meaningless and she’ll die, she and her husband are sticking together in this life time. it’s a song about how the existential worries of existence are quelled in the presence of people we love.
This is the comment I was looking for...thank you
Perfect explanation ✨️
I'm crying this is so cute🥹
It makes me so sad that so many people are labelling this as a toxic relationship (which is fine, music is up for interpretation), because I don’t see it as being toxic at all.
For me, this song is about a woman who feels insecure about herself, having to have a ‘painted face’ because she has to fake being happy around everyone. But for her, when her husband walks in, it makes her feel loved and genuinely happy.
At the start of the song, she sighs because it relates to the lyrics where she talks about her breathing before she dies, but then the music gets more upbeat when she sings of her husband, because she remembers that, even though her life is difficult, at least she has her husband who loves her.
I’m pretty sure that in a interview with the singer she said how the song is about losing love in a relationship. The happy and cheerful tone is meant to be ironic in a way
@@pepsi6356 I was talking about my point of view on the song, I know about the interview. Besides, people are seeing it as full on toxic, not just losing love in a relationship

Many people have said that this song is about her unhappiness in her marriage, but as someone who's facing a ton of depressing crap (including the loss of many former friends) the way this song comes of to me at least is... different. Right now, the only thing keeping me going is my boyfriend. We are both in deep shit, we both regret so many things, and fear for the future. Still, we stick together; to each their own struggles, but we're there for each other, listening, accompanying, and adoring one another throughout the storm.
@sharie Thank you
this is exactly how i feel! i don't wanna send it to him in case he looks in the comments and sees that it was supposed to be about an unhappy marriage.. but i don't feel that way!!
Mitski also stated she is single and doesn't have a husband
@@miles4939 I sent it to him before I looked at the comments... u can imagine the horror I had-
Relying entirely on only one person can create dependency, that's quite literally what this song depicts. She has no one but her husband, no matter how much of a waste of space he calls her, he always ends up switching back to nice mode and showering her with love. That's why victims of toxic relationships tend to say they're doing better just because their partner apologizes after having been horrible to them. Mitski is not known for writing happy and lighthearted songs anyway.
me and my husband is about an immigrant woman and the distress of a culture clash vs the joy that comes from loving someone u actually like who u can depend upon and analyzing it from a solely white lens or worse,treating it as a trapped housewife/comphet song just diminishes it's value in this essay i will-
I LOVE THIS
hahahahaha what if this was my mom?? 😳
I'm glad I'm not the only one who just couldn't see everyone else's "trapped wife" perspective of the song. I come from an interracial household and I'm in an interracial relationship. People don't realize how much cultural stuff you have to work through in order to make one work. You can't stick to family values that are traditional of either side. You have to work through a lot of the clashes that result.
I thought it was about how the husband, and her would stick together through hardships. The cultural aspect also came to my mind.
I wonder if you got this info off of maybe genius lyrics, hmmmmmm... not discrediting you if you did, it's just a super clear explanation and I was taken aback.
For me the "when he walks in I am loved, I am loved" feels like shes saying how she feels like she is nothing without him. People dont want to pay attention to her unless he's with her, she's just "in the corner taking up space"
DOES THIS MEAN THAT SHE'S COMING BACK???

That's what the amv in my head thinks, too.

I'd just like to say that yes, marriage often ends up being boring for many people. The honeymoon phase can't last forever. But that's not a bad thing, and every marriage is different, I FIRMLY believe that you can end up with the right person, who grows alongside you as you both navigate life and always has your back, and that you can both have a happy, fulfilled existence. But marriage isn't for everyone.
Whatever happens though, I hope you end up happy and that you bring happiness to others too.
Nah marriages always become boring, they have it's happy moments but when you are with the same person for lots of years it becomes boring

Real
Omg same😅
ME I'TS MY DESCRIPCIÓN
REAL
When it says “I am loved” I always feel that,it sounds like someone trying to convince themselves that their loved.
The sigh at the beginning changes the whole meaning of the song.
not me thinking this song is about someone who is very depressed, even suicidal, but still has someone that she feels good and loved with, that she may even depend on to feel fine. when she’s not with him she thinks she’s a waste of space, that no one cares about her, but when her husband comes in she is reminded that someone loves and cares for her. because of this she wants to be with and around him for as long as she can, stick together, and is praying that he never leaves her. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
that's how i see it too :)
When I hear "but when he walks in, I am loved" makes me think that she can't love/accept herself until someone loves her.
💔

@@charlottesimss9853 girl what
Nah, it's probably because the song has gotten popular

Fr though-
i like to think this song is about getting out of the honeymoon phase, when the love stops being the type you see in movies. esp with the progression going from the sigh (exposition) to excitment (rising action) leading into the eventual marriage (climax) and then the fall back of 'damn do i really love this person enough to spemd my life with them? do the good parts overweigh the bad? why do i feel so unfulfilled?' (falling action) to accepting regardless of whether she likes it, this is the life she signed up for (resolution). and i think that type of a marriage is a common one, how sometimes you can look at your parents and see they fell out of love but for the convience and the refusal to accept the truth, they stay together because they may not love eachother now but they did at one point and that string of reasoning is what forces the crippling relationship together
Am I the only one who has this as my alarm and then wake up crying to this song
NICE TO KNOW ITS NOT ONLY ME
I-
not us living the same life- 😯
no i do too lelz
Why are u doing this to urself?
The thing I like about this song is that it's not really sad, it's just "This is life, fuck it we're living like this now" and it's kind of empty-feeling as a result even with the not-so-empty feeling instrumentals painting a rosy image of the song and marriage as a whole
“ but when he walks in i am loved, i am loved” best line ever sang/wrote
my interpretation of this song is that she is telling herself that her and her husband are in a healthy relationship because he is manipulating her to think that
@Happii ii I disagree with that I think that's more from a sense of insecurity. So that she's projecting this feeling of what is she doing with her life but he is an anchor for her and helps I think is mutual to give each other meaning.
She describes feeling loved when he is around, and that while they are alive (in this lifetime) they are sticking together. Sounds like a loving relationship with a woman who has existential anxiety.
I believe that this song is about a woman who tries so hard to cope with depression, for reasons unrelated to her marriage, but when she's with her husband, the only one she feels like who understands her, shoulders her burden with her, she feels loved, and does better because of that.
I can't see any hint of abuse or sadness from her voice, or in the lyrics. In the song Build Me Up Buttercup, the instrumental of the song is happy, but the lyrics are about a person being left hanging by their date. I didn't feel that energy with Me and My Husband, and I feel like they really ARE doing better.
I love this song so much because it can be interpreted in a number of ways
You can interpret it as a song about someone who has issues and that is relying on her husband for support
You can interpret it about a marriage that is no longer what it used to be
You can interpret it as about a toxic relationship, where the wife is trying to convince herself that she is alright and that she is better staying with him
You can interpret it as a love song about a couple that have their problems like any other but at the end they solve them togheter because they love each other
Any of these interpretations are valid and that's why it is such a beatitiful song
mitski you are my mom
I love how her songs give off this foreign vibe yet still is so addictive to listen to
This song is a reminder of what my wife and I went through. There was a moment when she was considering leaving due to my alcoholism. But before that, my wife was hospitalized and almost died due to internal blood loss. That was the day I got sober and never touched the bottle again. It has been over 1 year since I quit drinking and started taking therapy seriously. We both have lost over 90lbs, and her health has improved significantly. She is the love of my life, and I will do everything to ensure our happiness. Just because you go through things in life does not give you the right to bring others down.
after a scary amount of thinking
i’ve come up with a theory
and whether mitski herself meant to actually do this or not, im actually shaken
notice how most of everything in the first verse doesn’t rhyme. minute, forever, seen. there’s not much to work with, and upon first listening, i assumed it was normal - after all, rhyme isn’t something mitski goes out of her way to prioritize. that is, until we make our way to the second verse.
the verse where mitski first begins singing about the husband.
you could even argue that the rhyming begins before that, with words “seen” and “me.”
the song goes on, and everything else seems to check out besides two specific lines: “so i bet all i have on that furrowed brow” and “but when he walks in, i am loved, i am loved.”
what i think this erratic rhyming pattern might represent is the fact the narrator’s husband has taken over their conscious mind. the beginning, where no rhyme could be found, took place before the “marriage” in question. the person telling the story was living to the beat of their own drum. however, as things start to rhyme again, you could come to the conclusion that this is where their “eyes, mind, and body” are gone. lines that go against the scheme and refuse to rhyme are like glimpses of their old self shining through, trying to break out. i also noticed that the music gets more intense at these parts that don’t rhyme, and are also immediately followed up with reassurance that their husband and them are going to stick together.
this person is manipulating themselves, and the rhyming (or lack of) is supposed to represent how the marriage has tamed them. their new personality is that of their husband’s. all they want to do is please him. although they may know/used to have known the drastic effect it’s had on them and their life, they’re consumed by the relationship. little of the person they used to be other than this husband-pleasing form of themself remains, except for in moments where they realize the weight of the situation, such as when they’re “betting everything they have on that furrowed brow” and the rhyme scheme is broken.
hlp me im not
this is not ok 🗿
You have done a great analysis of the rhymes, but I think the parts about the husband, rhyme actually because when he's there, they can deal with problems together and even though life is difficult, they can still work things out and be happy. When there aren't rhymes, the husband isn't there or they are fighting: the situation it's difficult and not harmonic, there aren't rhymes.
you have such an amazing song analysis skills, can't help but say im jealous

Her songs are so beautiful.
here is a story i wrote inspired by this song hope someone will see it
Waking up in the big white bed to see her husband’s back facing her. She smiled but soon as he turned to face her this smile faded. He looked at her with his cold empty gaze and close them again, she knew this was not a sign for her to return to sleep or cuddle in his embrace but a sign to go do her daily imposed routine the first task: cooking.
She took a few breaths before stepping in the kitchen… A place that remind her of so much memories. She wondered why is she doing this? why is her husband so cold? he was perfect…
When no one is around, he never looked at her with the warm smile he gave his friends and family…He is so perfect and nice with others but not with his wife. It’s true that this was an arrange marriage however HE chose her. He accepted. She wished he can love her like the first days if he ever did; she will never know his true self but she loves him; she does care she see him as a handsome, smart, gentleman.
She tried to look appealing and pretty as any stereotypical woman would, she tried to seduce him, but the only thing she had right to is a mocking laugh saying “stop playing with makeup like a little girl it’s not working”
for him she is just the dumb maid in the corner. She is nothing, and her husband is everything.
She hates him and loves him. Either ways they will stay together till death nothing matter more than. That hidden promise every marriage keeps and will forever. She will probably not make it but she will try till he loves her...she doesn’t know when and how but sometimes she thinks that it will be too late…

@@sallypellegrini7394 yep, exactly
I think this song is about a woman codependent of her husband, she will only see her "worth" with him; without him she is just "nothing", and does everything she can to keep him: Hence the lyric "so I bet all I have on that".
"I bet all I have on that furrowed brow" obviously, people, that brow belongs to someone, and that someone sure is her husband! She gives everything and relies her self-worth to her husband.
Before the lines where her husband comes in the picture, and it's just the wife talking about herself in there. She often describes herself depressingly "nothing" when she is alone, especially the second part where she talks about just herself again "and I'm the idiot with a painted face, in the corner taking up space". You could blatantly see from there that she views herself negatively, she is insecure.
Everytime her husband pops up she feels loved, and when she is loved she gets to love herself. She cannot love herself alone.
Codependent, clingy, insecure wife to the husband to the point he is the only person she interacts with. She only gets a sense of worth with her husband, not from anyone else, and it's just her that's sticking onto him so much.
That's why in her view, it's only been him and her together.
I made a whole painting based off this song, it's SO intense, the pain in her voice even tho she's trying to sound happy and in love
STOP, WHY DOES THIS SONG REMIND ME SO MUCH OF CATRA AND ADORA
i need a catradora amv with this song
@@sateliteschinos
It didn't really remind me of them
but Pearl by Mitski totaly did ngl (´。＿。｀)
yes omgomg
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
But me and my husband
We're doing better
It's always been just him and me
Together
So I bet all I have on that
Furrowed brow
And at least in this lifetime
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're sticking together
And I am the idiot with the painted face
In the corner, taking up space
But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved
Me and my husband
We're doing better
It's always been just him and me
Together
So I bet all I have on that
Furrowed brow
And at least in this lifetime
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're doing better
I heard this from tiktok but don't hate on me this is really something I'm Inlove
check the whole album! it is amazing 💚
It bothers me when we get hate for *where* we found a song when it’s harmless. I love it too!
@@MrWinter2 Ikr i found it and im loving it
@@MrWinter2 people who don't devalue the art aren't the "annoying folks from tik tok", they're just people who found a song they like from tik tok.
I came from an animation-
Annnnnd now I can't stop replaying this song!
fun fact! you can basically hear a breath in between every line in this song
My parents have been fighting recently and my mom is always defending him and they always keep up this image that they’re perfect and this song just reminds me of their relationship and I think I’m gonna force her to listen to this.
this song gives me so much comfort in a way, it reminds me of my parents and especially my mama :( my dad is really abusive and my mum basically has Stockholm syndrome from him. She always says “he’s changing!” “we’re doing better” “things are getting better, I swear!!”. But she’s in so much denial, she could do so much better but her self esteem is so damaged she feels like she deserves the mistreatment he puts onto her. My mother is one of the strongest and most beautiful women I’ve ever known, I just want her to be safe and genuinely happy. I’m so sick of this vile, sorry excuse of a man continuing to torment and bully my mother, my siblings and me.
I hope you are okay even after 10 months
My situation mirrors yours, and this song is such catharsis that sometimes I play it when my parents are both around, even though I know the context is lost on them.
Me fr , relatable, literally me
Эта одна из самых тригерных песен для меня , я буквально плачу каждый раз из-за воспоминаний . Люблю Митски
Это*
вау, не ожидала увидеть здесь комментарий на русском🥰
Everyone is writing what they think this song is about, so I will, too.
I think this song is about codependency and basing your happiness on someone else/not living for yourself. Many women base their happiness based on how their husband and kids are doing.
おかえりmitski❣新しい歌も大好きです。全てのmitski歌が好き💜
Mitski I’m playing this for my wedding thank you so much.
the person who wrote the english captions must be very proud of themselves
Mitski knows the truth of this world
hello :)
@@okayokayfineilldoit wow :)
This song reminds me of my old best friend. We were so close, it was always just the two of us. She had no friends, neither did I. We just “stuck together” 0:36
One day, we had this really heated fight. Then she just told me “Go, I don’t need you. I have other people who actually care about me.” 0:20
I felt like I related to the “painted face” part. And the part where she mentioned that once he walked in, that’s when she felt loved, I felt like that was her anytime I needed her. 1:16
We’re not doing better. But we act like it, she’s blocked me on everything. I try talking to her, and make eye contact with her. She just looks away. 2:03
I wished I valued her more, she was the funniest yet sweetest person I ever met, and I regret everything, I still can’t forgive myself.
((One more thing. I asked her what she was listening to one day, and she said “Me and My Husband” I miss her more than anything in the world. it pains me more than anything to see her happy with her new friends, but i’m glad she’s happy. i’m literally tearing up while wring this lmao))
This song is such a masterpiece. I feel like it gives off such a circus vibe to it. Considering she says “and I am the i idiot with a painted face” referencing a clown. MITSKIIIIII

No hate for twilight, but this is how I imagine Edward x Bella ACTUALLY is; despite Edward's controlling and manipulative tendencies, Bella is still willing to stay with him for eternity and is basically just convincing herself that whatever they have is not abusive whatsoever. It's been a long time since I've read the books, so feel free to correct me.
You just wrote a better interpretation of a book that sucks holy hell
Her lipstick is so perfect
this song makes me feel such intense emotion, its like nothing and everything at once. the beautiful vocals, the sighs, the lyrics, the music, its an absolute gem of a song.
BLESS HER AND NO DONT DARE TO SAY "oh, its that song from tiktok"
oh, it’s that song from tiktok
oh, it’s that song from tiktok
i believe the backstory to this is mitski is the wife of someone, mitskis husband doesn't really love her but mitski genuinely loves him. mitski has a make-believe world where her husband loves her and they have a picture-perfect relationship or like a world in the past where theyre love isn't dead and where they love each other. "were sticking together" where they're actually loving each other and like theyre going out together on dates, staying together etc but in reality he doesn't like doing this. mitski is singing about this in the make-believe world. as her husband is out somewhere mitski likes to go to the imaginative world to think about her husband and acts as if he really loves her. i think the husband is cheating or something on mitski aswell but she is acting as if there's a spark in their connectiom
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS SONG thanks for saying it out loud
