Lyrics:
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 used to think I would tell stories
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
No good guys
I always knew the world moves on
I just didn’t know it would go without me
I start the day high and it ends so low
‘Cause I’m working for the knife
I used to think I’d be done by 20
Now at 29 the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at 30 I’ll see a way to change
That I’m living for the knife
I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I’m dying for the knife

She really came back and dropped a whole film scene as a music video... Nobody is doing it like her
D'ANGELO AND MITSKI OMG
2 legends are here 🤩
she really is the best
DANGELO MITSKI STAN ARC????
The taste you are featuring on this day
it's insane that she's made a comeback and everybody's been wanting it but the song sounds like it's about how hard it is for her to work in the industry
the song is writing itself tbh
i was thinking the same thing honestly,, it makes me feel so bad.
also, not all of her songs are about her personal experiences. I'm excited to see where this fits in the narrative that she'll make in this new phase
It’s a beautiful song and the video is super well done, but it’s just so heartbreaking to feel the pain in it.

She is a mythical goddess presented like a human that is perfect
Wow yeah😍

@@friedlemon5172 oooh
I seriously can't stop listening to this. I just turned twenty nine- and I couldn't find a way to express the melancholy I've been feeling. But my girl came in clutch and wrote a song that hits the nail on the head and drives it all the way home. Thanks Mitski, please keep making music.
same. but did she really had the right to fuck me up like that? this song just hits every nerve for me
things will get better
like replik, an argentinian rapper, said: "music is telekinesis", so beautiful :')
the best thing about turning 30 (and beyond) is being so old you forget how old you are ...youll be ok :)
Same girl. Bawling my eyes out. Guess it's necessary to wake me up. But I hate this feeling.
i love how she's stripping away from her be the cowboy era, and how she reflects upon getting more famous, being perceived as entertainment, feeling as if she needs to give up to her last bone for the crowd. i just love mitski's art so badly.
This!! I also think that scene of the building in the beginning represents her stripping away from bury me at make out creek as well
isn’t it sad? even Melanie has made songs about this as well, being scared if she says whats on her mind or shows emotion then they’ll throw her away like a banana peel. I feel so bad for artists when they feel like that..
@@rei3878 i feel like mitski’s art is, in a very technical and professional way, a way to personify and deal with very deep and sad feelings and this just feels so beautiful and fantastic at the same time i cried to sleep last night while watching it, all over again, day after day since it was released. i hope she is okay and she feels better and expresses that and enjoys her art and truth, but i can’t help but feeling thankful she’s at least saying the things she’s saying, otherwise the world would feel so much more weird without it. i feel so connected to this sadness as an aspiring artist myself, and a trans person, and even though the feelings are so different, i’m so thankful. i don’t know, just read your comment and felt connected to it and wanted to connect. thank you for sharing about melanie, i didn’t know about these topics in her songs, i’ll try and listen to them more.
broke the whole internet for her comeback, that's some girlboss shit
fuck that she broke my whole mental health for this comeback
Mitski Is just in another level
facts
so true
YES
the symbolism of her dropping the cowboy hat… i definitely agree with most this is about the major shift in career & the deep hurt & struggle mitski must feel in trying to get her work out there the opening line alone knocks the wind out of me
She will no longer be the cowboy
@@meowmeowmeowmoews So we must Be The Cowboy🤠
ILY MITSKI PLS DONT BE HARD ON YOURSELF
I'll literally cry if something happens to you
@@random-ux3pv Mitski doesn't know you it's okay
@@TheDancingMudkip and arent these songs like creative work by mitski? Like yea she feels it and all that, but im p sure we dont have to be too worried 🧎🏼
but whyd she stop making music
ok
I like how mitski came back when we all needed her the most
RIGHT? THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER IM SO HAPPY RN
THIS!!
@@nicekittysara3560 SAMEEE
YESSSS
Literally
This song really makes me think of the physiological implications of basing your whole musical career on the most traumatic and difficult aspects of your life. I really understand why she chooses to not have an internet presence, because I imagine it’d be impossible for her to separate herself from her pain. Making your whole livelihood on expressing your pain doesn’t give you options to heal. Hence “working for” and “dying for” the knife.
Pleaseeee I love this interpretation 😭💛
you worded this so absolutely beautifully
Nice
This saddens me because even tho I love her music and it helped/helps me deal with stuff I dont want her to feel pressured to only make songs about her trauma and reliving it constantly. :'(
@@wiiwuu3369 I agree, I hope she does whatever makes her happy, she deserves the best ♥
Why do i feel like this is how mitski feels a bit pressured to continue being sad to make music, cause thats what she has been doing so far. Like the lyrics about things seeming like it wont change, and "I start the day high, and it ends so low". And she's working for the knife cause if she continues making really sad music it's gonna affect her mental health too.
I feel like it is that to some degree but I think this song talks about the struggle of making authentic art while dealing with the pressure of making money. Having to pursue the daily grind of getting things done to not be homeless or dead is difficult but the work itself also kills us. “Working for the knife” is literally working a job that exacerbates our suffering. We don’t really have a choice except to die for something while being aware of what it does to us.
@coda so true 😭 there’s something so satisfying in causing our own pain, like an ED or self harm. We’re all just preforming a endurance test against ourselves and others.
@coda same here I hope you’re doing alright and beautifully said! I’m struggling much less than I was then, this song just feels so relevant with its references to past trauma and being disenchanted with the adult world. Not to say it’ll be easy but I think we’ll be okay.
@coda Ah! Thank you for the edit rec. :))
Working living dying for the knife. I feel like it could be about the industry or just capitalism. March to the sea type beat
Everyone has their own interpretation of this song but for me as a recent college grad it's really about going through the monotonous day to day routine of working a 9 to 5 and how quickly you get disillusioned, thinking you would feel accomplished by the time you reach a certain age when in reality the "the road ahead appears the same". "My day starts high and it ends so low" trying to motivate yourself every morning to only come home feeling dead tired ti
and drained. "I cry at the start of every movies cause I guess I wish I was making stuff too" feeling like you have no creativity left in you to explore any hobbies.
That is how I interpret it too!
exactly how i feel
Me toooooo
I think she meant when she said ı thought ıd be done by tweny that she would killed herself but now she's 29 and the life it's still same and she want to kill herself again but also there's a hope that Future is may bright
She did say in an interview this song is abt capitalism so ur right!
wait i realized that mitski dropping her cowboy hat means that she's done with "be the cowboy" era and that by dropping the hat we're entering a new era 🤠
New albummmm
oh my gosh you’re right.
@@mik5735 YES PLS
YAYYY NEW ALBUM!!
@@MK-cn6ms 😂 😆 😂 ruclips.net/video/4iIbbfxcAdU/видео.html
The sound of her heels deserves a Grammy.
LMFAOOA
for real
I’m honestly gonna be mad if they aren’t nominated 🙄
And the little jingle jangle noises, and every other noise shes made in any music video ever
👀😂
i interpret this video as not wanting applause and/or praise anymore. Being praised for delivering a message you initially didn't want to spread with your work. that's why she's dancing the way she is at the end, to remind people that her art and music is not supposed to be easy to swallow, but be moved and almost disturbed by it. That she can convey strong emotions, good or bad. i love mitski so much.
“I cry at the start of every movie because I wish I was making things too” I kinda interpret it like the feeling of being behind on everyone, wanting to catch up but just keep watching the movie and start a new one no matter how much I try
crying, throwing up, banging my head on a wall, hysterically screaming, vomiting violently, sobbing my shit out
relatable
So true
LMAOAO
yeah tbh
Tbh
Can’t believe Mitski invented music and cinematography
Shes so strong and brave
Ikr she’s such a genius! Love her! She’s given so much to the world
She's so magnificent and amazing for that
Never fails me to surprise
And dancing
ikr
I love the transition of her sitting being part of the audience and as she closes her eyes she becomes the performer
Genius
3:50 is literally me dancing listening to music in my headphones and making up fake stories to go with the music 💀
This song is really great though, it gives me 80's vibes in some weird way. And I'm so mad at myself for not listening to mitski so much more sooner!
omg I just realized how mitski slowly sheds her cowboy fit into new clothes. it’s like she’s transforming into a new era god i love her so much 🔪

mitski accessing hidden emotions again
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO STOPPP
Ive been thinking,,,,,,,she was a film student right??
“I always knew the world moves on, I just didn't know it would go without me” bro, that's so personal
I kept trying to figure out what kind of knife this song is about. and then one day I remembered that Mitski is of Japanese origin. In ancient Japan, a master sharpened a knife throughout his life, the culture of working with metal was brought up by the Japanese for centuries! This is the real philosophy of the knife. This is art. This song actually has a very deep meaning. Mitski is just a genius!
“I cry at the start of every movie because I wish I was making things too” HELLO? MITSKI THIS IS LITERALLY A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE ?
the artist never feels like it’s enough
seeing "16 minutes ago" on a new mitski song feels like showing up right after an explosion
that’s how i felt watching the premiere i thought i was going to die
2:09 the fact that this unlocked a repressed memory of me licking the dining room table to see how it tasted when I was little 💀
One of the best songs I have heard in a long time. It actually brings me to tears sometimes, because this is exactly how I feel at 20 years old. It's such an overwhelming, oppressive feeling, knowing you could have done something else with your life, but you're stuck in a hard, exhausting path with little to no fulfillment or chance of escape. I don't think any other musician has been able to encapsulate that feeling quite like Mitski.
Stop, lol. You're 20. With an average life span, you have 5 decades left to grow and explore. In your 20s, you know nothing and want everything. That's everyone. Let that go. This is the time to plant seeds, that's all. Take the pressure off of yourself.

edit: all jokes aside.... "I always knew the world moves on, I just didn't know it would go *without me* " _ouch_
it's a world-known fact tbh
the one and only yes
And pure heaven
and dying (brand new city)
ruclips.net/video/y0CKVbez6qk/видео.html
“i always knew the world moves on
i just didnt know it would go without me” another mitski verse ill cry with
i don’t remember where she said it but i think in some interview mitski explained that “a knife is a perfect analogy because it’s cold and sharp and it doesn’t care about you” and something else i took away from that is a knife’s function, intentional or not, is to hurt. anyway banger song on a banger album live laugh mitski
near the end it's almost as of mitski is alone with her thoughts, she does many different dances but they all seem to be in another setting, like a reflection of all the times she wished she could have made other choices or been a better version of herself to mesh better with what society views as socially correct. Instead she's left with these vivid memories and the time alone to reflect on them. Honestly this is so well thought out a masterpiece.
" I used to think I’d be done by 20, now at 29 the road ahead appears the same. Though maybe at 30 I’ll see a way to change, that I’m living for the knife " literally crying and sobbing

As a person who needs and survives off of attention and praise the ending hit me the hardest. When you lose that attention, that validation, and you're doing everything you can, even making a fool out of yourself, just to get that feeling of being seen and apreciated back and it doesnt work.
Mitski out here licking handrails like we aren't in the middle of a pandemic. We stan a fearless Queen.
Covid is too scared to touch our queen

YESS
im pretty sure the final cinematography is a comparation of what she felt when came back
YES
the songs about the industry and how tough it is, so I wouldn't say she's acting like nothing happened /nm
@@marscarder6430 😂 😆 😆 ruclips.net/video/4iIbbfxcAdU/видео.html
perfect pandemic fatigue song...working for the knife has never felt more real. the exploitation of the individual, the artist, the woman for an industry that feels nothing except a desire for more money.
I feel like the "knife" that the song talks about could be society, how we live as society says we should live. How tiring its working for society and its standards, we lie to be "accepted" in society, but deep we know the truth.
" I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right, but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I'm dying for the knife"
In this part it talks about the time when society doesn't need you anymore, and with that rejection we stop fitting in and with this, "we die for the knife"
I really loved this song and how everyone interpreted it differently, I hope you liked this song too
Mitski: *licks bannister, stomps on stage, panting*
Me (tearfully): no one is doing it like her, truly. We don't deserve it but we're getting it anyway
"i always thought the choice was mine and i was right but i chose wrong" YOU CANNOT BE DOING THIS TO ME MITSKI
"I always thought that the choice was mine - and I was right but I just chose wrong" the regret is hitting so hard in this one
I love how nobody talks that Mitski just licked a goddamn staircase. I just love this fandom😔😔😔😔❤❤❤❤❤
"I used to think I'd be done by twenty
Now at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the same"
Mitski can't keep getting away with these lyrics 😫
I READ THIS AT THAT PART 😭
It's so good. Because she isn't even 29. She's 31, but there's that common trope for women to say they're "29" in your thirties to hide their age. More of the masterful lyricism I expect from Mitski!!!
@yuitr loing ur
Here at 33 the road ahead appears the same... life on repeat repeat repeat.....
I love the way Mitski expresses the exhaustion, the exhaustion that people expect, in fact, she puts a lot into this clip about the industry itself, and the way that sometimes artists need to call attention, like, the way that everyone om the top want them to be, i rlly love how mitski says a lot of things on her art.
mitski is fantastically multitalented, this was stirring for sure.
Literally nobody is doing it like mitski. So happy she’s back
I JUST STOPPED BY TO SAY THIS BUT YES
NOBODY yk NOBODY..
nobody nobody nobody get it ?
@@maryam062 and happy too
ruclips.net/video/zTdXlSwhHg4/видео.html ???
for me, this song is about how her music career is driven by her traumatic experiences, and how if she tried to write a positive song it wouldn’t sell well. that’s why she said “i used to think i would tell stories but nobody cared for my stories i had”
and the last scene was probably there to portray her traumatic experiences.
the fact that she thinks not being done with her career at 20 and still going at 29 is a negative… it’s so not. she helps so many people and we all love her music so immensely.
I think ur right !!! "Working for the knife" could mean that she feels like she'll always have to make sad/painful songs for the rest of her life !!
This video makes me think if she and St. Vincent collabed the world would implode in the best way
I LOVE YOU MITSKI!! you're the only artist I listen to where i love every one of your songs. I hope i can see you live one day! :D

"i always knew the world would move on, i just didnt think it would go without me, i start the day high but it ends so low" yea more lyrics to sob to
Crying, screaming, throwing up, in shock, in love, cannot cope, how am i alive at the same time as mitski everybody
I love how expressive she's become with her movements. She's an incredible talent.
I can’t even describe how excited I am. Mitski’s music helped me through a really bad time in my life and kept me going. Her music is apart of my life and saved me from the depression I went through. I am glad she is coming back
Love the lyrical concept, "Working for the knife..."
"i always knew the world moves on, i just didnt know it would go without me" UGH GETS ME EVERYTIME!!!😭😭
im glad mitski took a break, she needed time to take care of herself first before music. now that she's back my week has gotten better. thank you mitski!!
yes this!
YEAAAA!
Yesss

The best thing about mitski is when I’m always thinking that I’m the only one with certain feelings but when I see mitski doing songs about those feelings I don’t feel that alone
ruclips.net/video/1CrBko0KmGg/видео.html ... . .
yes 🙏
... yeah. Yeah.
It’s so amazing how mitski invented knifes
I saw her at the pitchfork music fest in chicago. I have never been so captivated by an artist more than her. Her performance and moves were superb. I have never crushed on any artist but Mitski has captured my heart.
If you don't mind me asking when did the festival happen
she LITERALLY did the mitski shuffle at the end, mariyuh did the dance well bro
you saw it too😭
no u saw it too?...
so true
Yes ma’am you you are in ph on on the grace side and I don

ABSOLUTE CINEMA
I too am working for the knife and I hate every second of it
A living legend, that comes back when everyone need her to most.
YEAH, I CAN'T WAIT!!
thinking about living longer just to hear more of mitski's music. so glad shes back
FRR I RLLY WAS ABT TO OFF MYSELF BUT THEN MITSKI REACTIVATED HER ACCOUNTS AND IM LIKE "damn i guess i gotta stick around and find out" ... lord and savior fr
we live for mitski 🧎♀️
staying for m6
exactly
4:20
me too mitski
As someone with schizophrenia, I can't believe how much I resonate with this song. We live in an age of existential crisis, an age of separation and misunderstanding. It's a real danger, and the feeling of helplessness when you realize you can't please everyone and that you'll fall off the mold is a truly terrifying. I wish Mitski luck in her journey, as I do for a lot of people in the same position.
i hope mitski knows how much she is loved. how much her music is appreciated and how much her lyrics are felt.
The way she holds a frozen pose, the way the lyrics are grudgingly melancholic, this is a masterpiece. Thank you, mitski
SO TRUE
YES
TRUE
The opening shot where she’s in the doorway is a reference again to the exorcist. Mitski I see you and I too am a horror movie buff
yes! also, the melody that sounds in the background during the chorus is inspired by the exorcist's theme.
@@martinajpg omg I hear it now! Thank you!
I usually never comment on songs on RUclips, but now I feel like I have to do it. This song is a masterwork. It's tremendous how after a long break Mitski can offer us something so decent. Specifically, since a lot of pressure is placed on her. The point is, she's kind of forced to make sad songs because they sell the best. Consequently, she can't do what she wants. It's tragic what show business does and how it hurts artists. The music video also inspired me to dance. I find in it a representation of feelings and a discharge of emotions. In my mind, I even made up choreography for this song. Always this song inspires me so much. Measuring up, Mitski is a remarkable artist and this song is excellent!
This woman is a living, breathing, truly authentic work of art.
she’s a god, she’s talent, she is THE moment.

@@Missjunebugfreak yes! this!
Mitski's music has been introduced to me at the worst point in my life and has literally helped me get through my emotions these past 6 months...Finally going to college next week...got over my break up...excited to start over in a new state, which is literally my escape...I've listened to all her songs everyday while I was working at two dead end jobs...she literally couldn't have come back at a better time

that is so cute
mitski is truly a creative and talented woman
as someone who struggles alot mentally and her video seems like me trying to overstimuate myself to feel something to feel something different.
she's such a beautiful artist!
in 17 hours i hope to feel THAT Mitski feeling that i think we all experience when listening to her songs for the first time. it's happened with every single one of her songs, so i don't doubt it will happen with this..

Tiene sentido en especial desde su punto de vista que ella si no estoy mal ama hacer música y que se dio un tiempo
I’m coming back to this two years later because I somehow haven’t seen this comment yet… the name of the building she’s in is “The Egg” in Albany, NY. I’m from the area and recognized it as soon as I saw it! I figured I’d mention it given her affinity for egg symbolism. (Humpty, the My Love Mine All Mine video, the “robin’s egg” vinyl for The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We)
Adds another layer that you would never consider unless you recognized the building!
IVE LITERALLY BEEN WHERE THIS IS FILMED FOR A SCHOOL FEILD TRIP
“I start the day high and end so low” describes a lot of peoples days so much because they start the day convincing themselves something good is going to happen or something good is going to change, but throughout the day you realize nothing is going to change and your just going to work your entire life. Working for the knife. Mitski you never fail to amaze me
honestly the most real song ever 😭
i think this song is about her career. in the very beginning she makes it clear that she is prevented from enjoying some things or living situations because she is working for the knife. the knife would be the music industry, in the part where she says she had stories to tell but no one cared to listen to them would be her ideas that were ignored or discarded. she also shows in the song that she is very dedicated to her work no matter how frustrating it is
Well that was basically heartwrenching
I just saw Mitski live on a concert here in Mexico and she's gorgeous her performance is awesome she's sosososooooo talented and beautiful and kind I LOVE HER MITSKI COME BACKKKKK
