I always associate this song with 'lost childhood'. People who had to grow up too early, who had to see their loved ones in pain. People who pretended to be fine until the line between being fine and not being fine faded.. Oh this makes me cry like a baby..
What makes this song even more heartbreaking is the subtext. “Betting” on a hopeless case, a losing battle is wholly different from simply standing by it. You’re sacrificing your means of living for a person or a struggle that never stood a chance, but you still did it, so they wouldn’t be alone when (not if, but when) they fall. It’s the opposite of playing the lottery.
this is the perfect wording of the meaning of this song honestly, i tear up everytime i listen to it because of this. choosing to stay even though you know how it's going to end because it's doomed from the start
@silvia-with-an-i It makes me think of my late cats as they got old/sick. I knew they were hopeless and the end was inevitable but I still held onto hope and kept them comfortable and happy when there was nothing left to do. My Claudia lived to a good old age of 16, but Todd was only 8, he’d been sickly all his life and the vets never figured out what was wrong. I looked into their eyes when they were down, and I was there by their sides. My babies…💔
To know that there’s someone out there who will stay through the rough with you, letting you know that it’s okay to lose, that they are not going anywhere. They are happy that atleast you tried. I think I am that person for myself. It’s feels like a self-love song.
I know that this song is about relationships but it always help me with dealing with loss or failure from me or from people i like. "I know they're losing and i pay for my place by the ring where i'll be looking in their eyes when theyre down" transmits such a huge feeling of empathy and strentgh. To bet on winning dogs is easy, but not on the losing ones.
I interpret it as trying to help people who you know will never change like that line and the line "will you let me lose on losing dogs I know there losing and I'll pay with my place"
Both of yall have similar interpretation that I have and thankfully I’m not the only one, yeah I mainly saw it as someone who so desperate for love as she says “call me” and “say it to me” the words she says to them she wants reciprocated and when she doesn’t she doesn’t blame them she blames herself for expecting that, with the lines “I pad for my place” but still wanting them to be there for her when she’s down on her luck but the last part of the song she pleads for them to be there for her like she did for them. Thank yall for coming to my ted talk cause I’m literally crying as I type this cause of how powerful this song is.
I sang this song to my guinea pig as he passed away last night....I used to sing it to him sometimes long before that awful night..... He was 6 years old. I love you Kona, I will always love and remember you, my baby.....
For some reason at first I interpreted "beting on loosing dogs" as being with someone even at their worst "By the ring where I'll be looking in they're down I'll be there by their side" hits me so much. I wish my mom was by my side when I hoped for her support. She still does all her best to be a good mother for me, but it's like all *I* do is make her worry, angry and dissapointed. However she can't believe it at all every time I tell her that I only feel like a burden for her
You are not alone. Her lack of being able to parent presently is not a reflection of how worthy you are of that love. It is our divine birthright to feel loved and cared for simply for existing. Hang in there. I know how it feels. You are not alone. The only way out is through, friend. THROUGH we shall get! ❤
@@Gurramina Thank you so much!! I moved out than 1,5 year ago and feel a lot better. Now I live with my loving partner who can handle this issue of mine
My dog sassy a chiweenie died of kidney failure we had to have laps of love come in and she died In my moms arms looking at me 😭 I'm so sorry for loss that was two weeks before Xmas 2 yrs ago and I cry writing it today two weeks before Xmas
Ikr??? There's something about the haunting melody, the overall heaviness, and the way the story cleverly unravels as the song goes on. Mitski is such a good storyteller that she can make you feel the pain in a song full force even if you can't relate to it one bit.
@@KimGhidorahThis is actually so true for some reason it really got to me when i first listened to it. I don’t often cry when listening to something for the first time but the last time i did was probably my first listen of 808s and heartbreak many years back.
Sometimes I listen to this song and it reminds me of my mom. She never listened to this song, but it reminds me of how she was. She died suddenly due to a pulmonary embolism eight months ago. There was nothing anyone could do to save her. I was about to turn eighteen at the time and I was going to plan a great party with my friends, and learn how to cook, and have a plan with college and learning how to do all these grown up things. But now I feel as if I have no motivation for these things, and I want my life to be just over already so I can see my mom again. I miss my mom. I love her. Update: It just turned a year now, and I still miss her and I love her. I don't think I'll ever not miss and love her, and that's ok.
Similar situation for me, lost a mother figure at 17. It hurts less as time goes on, I had to learn to do many things I thought she’d be there to teach me. I wish I’d treasured the time more, however ik she would be proud of how independent I learned to be. She was very independent and kind and I try to do the same. Best thing we can do for them is keep going, and she can live on through us everyday in small things we do. Focus only on the memories that gave you strength and happy ones from her, don’t let what took her away turn those memories into sad ones
I'm so sorry for both of ur losses.. I'm a young girl who's 14 yr old and probably u are all adults but Idc comforting others is the important thing. Im very sorry Rest in peace to both of ur kind and wonderful mothers. My deep condolences.
I’m sorry for your loss… When all hope is gone reach to god (or whatever god you worship) all will be ok and you’ll get through this🫶🏾 remember if you ver need some to vent to I am here. I will listen and help your through this. Remember. Your. Worth.🫶🏾
I recently lost my cat, he was the most important thing in this house for me when i was feeling down. He loved me, and i loved him back. Everyday i wake up now, i still am careful when getting out of bed not to disturb him, even if he's gone now. Everyday i still worry if i fed him, only for the memories to come flashing back. This song reminds me of him so much, how i grew up with him, how he was always there when the eventual hardships of growing up hit, and i'll miss him forever for that. Thank you, this is a great song to remind of those happy moments.
"my baby my baby, your my baby say it to me." Hits hard. Whenever I hear this I imagine my mother singing this to me ,holding me close. She left me when I was 7 and never came back. She started another family and will occasionally call on birthdays. I act like I hate her and most of the time I do but some days I just miss her like h*ll. I just miss that motherly love.
I’m so sorry.I feel this so much. My parents got divorced when I was a baby and every now and then she would visit. And when I was 11 she completely abandoned me, and now has a new family. I haven’t seen her in over 6 years and have only talked to her a handful of times but it’s been well over a year since the last time we’ve talked. I don’t really miss her cause I’ve never been used to having her, but I grieve for the relationship I never got to have
this song always made me feel the same way i feel in every relapse i have. that feeling of trying for nothing and betting on myself to get out of this horrible situation and still not making it. yeah, i am the losing dog and the one who bets on him
hope you're doing good out there, im an addict too lol so i understand how it's so hard. But we got this, celebrate yourself even for a day without it. And remember that your old self doesn't align with what you want or are working on! you got this !!! :)

Growing up in a household with an angry man was hard. I stepped up and was the emotional pillar my mom needed. I was there to wipe her tears and comfort her when she cried about my physically abusive/mentally/emotionally abusive druggie father. I just wanted a normal childhood. I just wanted my fathers love. It hurts when I see all the people with loving fathers knowing I'll never have that. Knowing no one will be able to walk me down the isle, instead im absolutely terrified of men. All because of my father.
Ngl, your comment made me cry, I know exactly what that's like as I still go through that. I know what it's like wishing to have what others have. But I promise you, it's gonna be okay, you'll make it through this. You're gonna be okay
Lyrics: My baby, my baby You're my baby, say it to me Baby, my baby Tell your baby that I'm your baby I bet on losing dogs I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place By the ring Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down I'll be there on their side I'm losing by their side Will you let me, baby, lose On losing dogs I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place By the ring Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down I wanna feel it I bet on losing dogs I always want you when I'm finally fine How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come Someone to watch me die Someone to watch me die I bet on losing dogs. (Don’t thank me:)
This song is genuinely miserable in the most beautiful way possible. Its captures the turmoil of trying put your whole heart into something, knowing damn well your love wont be repaid....but doing it anyways. And that's what makes this song so painful: its painfully self aware. They know what to expect... or what not to. Its a song that helps understand the mindset of those who stay in toxic relationships or adult kids who dont cut off abusive family members. Of those who just want some validation, someone in their corner...
mitski means a lot to me, due to the fact that she helped me cry it out by listening to her music. i don't know if i was saved or became worst. i didn't feel safe in my house, my wrists are in the risk of having a chance of being harmed, everything's been shitty but when I found mitski, i felt like her music embraced me warmly thank you so much, mitski
i know everyone has their own interpretatives and perspectives towards this song, but in my opinion the lyrics connects too me because i feel like it's about attaching yourself too false hope, temporary distant faded people, connections etc since at the end of the day the idea of letting go and losing all of it is just too much so you stay until you cant anymore, this song is so beauitfully written it gives off the concept of having attachment issues too me. "i bet on losing dogs" " i always want you when im finally fine" i love this song with my whole heart.
@@shiwangee my concept of that line is craving and needing someone or something you grew attached too but yk at the end of the day it's not healthy for you at all but you still long for whatever it may be because sometimes the idea of just letting go of everything is all too much, i feel like everything is too much i feel this line deeply, because so much people i lost in the past for whatever reason they js got distant or i cut contact for the best, up to today i still miss and think abt everything especially whenever a tiny little inconvience occur everything comes flowing back whenever im sad (sorry i said sm i just love talking abt deep shit like this but ofc everyone has their own povs this is js mines)
My dog passed away on Nov 17th, 2024 and this was the song that I was playing when we put him down… sucks, I miss him so much. He was a good boy and I made sure to tell him a million times. I miss you Chester, so much!! You were the bestest boy. 💔🐾🌈
held my bearded dragon in my arms as she let her last breath out today. I'll always be there to hold the hand of those i care about as they pass if I can help it, in hopes that i wont have to die alone either. They deserve the comfort of being held, knowing they are safe and remembered.
truth is, i don't really know how to let grief pass. how to accept it all. i do wish i was just strong, im wondering if im really ready to be in a healthy relationship. you deserve so much more, queen. so much more. i don't always want to depend on you whenever things get heavy for me. im losing myself too. i dont know what to do.
Same - as soon as I feel fine I rememember this song and feel bad again. Grief is a process - some days I feel fine and some days it feels fresh. 9 months later and I’m crying here and there, including rn. I was the losing dog and I still miss this person as soon as I start to feel fine. You are allowed to feel the grief as it comes - take a breath and let it go after a few minutes of feeling it. You are strong and over time we just come to terms with it, doesn’t mean we’ll ever be 100% okay with it ❤️🩹
GUYS IM GONNA SING THIS AT MY SCHOOL WISH ME LUCK🙏🙏🙏 edit: Guys, I did it a long time ago, I forgot to edit this comment and it went pretty well. thank you a lot for the ppl that wished me good luck😭💗
this is so random but i had this song stuck in my head, humming it, repeating the lyrics in my head all day, even though i hadnt listened to the song in months little did i know after skl my mum would tell me, my sister was really concerned for our dog, she was panting, vomiting, drooling, not eating and her heart was beating excessively, we thought we would lose her that day, i told my mum about this after my dog settled down (shes okay) and was so amazed.
i see a lot of different interpretations in here, so im going to add mine. "i bet on losing dogs, i know theyre losing and ill pay for my place by the ring" and "im losing by their side" to me means that she is putting her bet, her trust, into a person (the dog) all the while knowing this person will let her down, and lose. and this means she will lose as well, as she has been hurt. "i always want you when im finally fine" means that she always is drawn back in as soon as she starts to come out on top.
except the dog is the one losing and the money being bet on it is perpetuating its fight in the ring to constantly lose. seems like an underdog fetishization. this song seems mad narcissistic to me idk. like yeah you paid for your place, but you chose to pay for your place, feeling victim of your own choices while the Dog is dealing with the consequences of the emotional masochism that they return to. If they frame betting or putting money into the dog as putting trust, than each time they lose money on a bet they’re losing trust. and when they’re fine, able to trust again, they return to throw their money and lose their trust once more. what’s the dog losing here tho.idk. seems pretty fucked and abusive, but mfs wanna come and say its a toxic relationship, when the toxic relationship is onesidedly a result of the one betting, the one choosing to go to dog fights (where all dogs are ultimately losing), the one self victimizinf themself, and feeding themself the gratifying narrative of some nurturing savior fantasy trope, when they’re the very source perpetuating the dog to its doom.
@@Zero-fh2wb sounds like you interpreted it completely differently from most of us. I see it more as she is in love with the loosing dog. but she knows itll only drag her down more, but since she is so in love with it she cant let go, and lets herself get ruined with it. so not abusive on either side, and theres not really a villain of the song. maybe a bit of codependency at most.
@@ahoee except a dog has little autonomy and is forced to fight in the conditions and way its been brought up, and she exploits that for her own masochistic gratification, and turning back to it whenever she is fine, meaning her wellbeing is gauranteed regardless but the dog's isnt, and she can frame herself under the delusion she's some saving grace, whilst simultaneously being the very cog that propels the dog to continue fighting thru her money being placed on him
This song hits diffrent when you have a very dysfunctional family growing up... I never been the favorite of my mom... Pls mom love me, call me baby, call me sing for me... Pls look a me look at me and tell me that you love me... 0:09 this is comforting yet haunting
@@InfinitelyEdgy-Official its just a joke o "hide the pain" i guess? Im not sure how to explain it, its like someone laughing even though theyre basically dying on the inside, at least thats how i see it :shrug
'Unironically'. Who's assuming you're being ironical? Or it's just a fancy way to sound cool that zoomers use nowadays? You can also say 'seriously '. Like in a sentence 'Seriously, this comment section is full of pretentious, easily impressed teenage girls'.
The beginning "my baby, my baby" reminds me of my baby kitty named Savannah... She was put down yesterday because her kidneys were failing... She didn't even make it to the age of 2... I miss you and love you so much, Savannah. You were my baby
The “my baby my baby, your my baby say it to me” always makes me cry because when I feel like cutting my boyfriend will always hold me tight and say that line to me with that goofy big smile of his. 🥹❤️ thank you Mistki!
@baldetari. They mean they whenever they feel like SHing, their boyfriend comforts them with hugs and says this line of the song to help stop them from releasing… I wish I had someone like this 😭😭
this makes me cry because both of my cats died from a drunk driver.. when i listen to this song i remember all the good times ive spent with them.. they were only 1.. it hurts that the ones i truly loved died in my arms.. they both were severely injured and flies were everywhere.. no one did anything about it.. i sit in the road and watch my cats meowing slowly fading away.. this ruined my childhood.. i now have three cats and im happy with them.. i wanna protect them from this happening again...
This is my first time listening to Mitski outside of TikTok (not that I don’t like her music but she isn’t my usual type of artist ), but now that I’m actually listening to her stuff I get why people like her music. It reaches this part of me that I often ignore but is always there yk. Ig what I’m trying to say is I FEEL this song in my core.
I know this is about relationships and all, but I've lost my dog (he's not dead just lost; well I pray to god that he's fine and either got saved by someone or manages to survive); and just the "my baby my baby" makes me cry so much I miss him so much please come back to me my baby 😥🤍🤍🤍
you know, the first few lines where it goes “my baby, my baby, you’re my baby say it to me” always gets me, even right now it’s making me cry real hard. not too long ago (an hour ago) i was sitting down close to my parents bed while drawing and stuff, (mind you it was around 4am) my parents came back upstairs, they were downstairs drinking. they noticed me and said stuff like “oh hi, (my name) !” lovingly, especially my mom. as i was getting ready to go to my room, since yk i was close to their bed and they finally came upstairs, i got my stuff and stood up, about to walk towards my room..until my mom said my name, i looked at her and she was already sitting down on their bed, she gestured me to come towards her and so i did. i put down the stuff i was holding and even put my airpods back in their case, i then went over to her, she was holding her arms out to me, so i sat down and started to hug her. she was all happy and continued to hug me, then she looked at my face while holding both of my hands in hers, she started to cry, saying how she misses me, as in how she misses younger me. the younger me who would always spend time with her and never leave her side. she kept on saying how she misses me and how much she loves me. “you’re my baby, you’ll always be my baby.” is what she also told me while crying, she made me lay my head on her shoulder as she also did to mine, then she said “i love you, so much” i told her the exact same words, i love her so much. she would look at my face and caress my cheek while telling me how beautiful i am, that made me break down, as i have low self esteem. i had tears running down my face as i was smiling at her and looking at her face too, she told me how she loves when i call her mama, cause she would always call her mom, ‘mama’. she continued to hug me tightly and repeatedly told me how she misses and loves me. to think my past self thought how no one cared about me, ..when my mom clearly did. she has always cared for me. she loves me. she’s my mama and i’m her baby, nothing will ever change that. i don’t know what i’d do without her, i love her so much. i’m her baby and she’s my mama. i love you so much, mama. 💜💜
I'm so jealous. You better be happy and make the most out of your time with her, cuz many of us would kill to even have a moment like that with our moms :')
such a fucking good song I had to share it with my boyfriend because I met him at a time when he was really in a tough spot in life and I could not stop bawling the guitar, the vocals, the lyrics *chef's kiss* ugh I haven't cried to a good song in a MINUTE
One of the kids in my classes committed suicide 2 days ago. I didn’t really know him well, but my friend loved him (platonically). When my mom called he to tell me he had killed himself, I was broken. I didn’t even know him and I feel to the floor sobbing. This song helped me cry every ounce of water I had. Thank you Mitski
This music reminds me of when I spent good times with my family, especially my mother and now I only think that nobody cares about me and I usually think most of the time and just think that I am a burden to others and that I am a simple torture for others.
Betty...My dog of 15 years that died on 1st of Sept early in the morning....I woke up to my parents crying.I was confused.I checked on her and she wasn't breathing.Thats the moment I broke down...It's been a month.I miss you Betty....
I truly want to know what could’ve happened to Mitski during this time of her life when she wrote this song… it’s a sadness that is truly contagious but yet it’s beautiful as hell
Lyrics: My baby, my baby You're my baby, say it to me Baby, my baby Tell your baby that I'm your baby I bet on losing dogs I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place By the ring Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down I'll be there on their side I'm losing by their side Will you let me, baby, lose On losing dogs I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place By the ring Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down I wanna feel it I bet on losing dogs I always want you when I'm finally fine How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come Someone to watch me die Someone to watch me die I bet on losing dogs Reminder: Ily.. random stranger.. *i love you*
Last month my sister died. Before that, she had a daughter for four years. She’s been in and out of jail and I had to take care of her when she was gone. After she passed, my niece was taken in by my aunt and uncle. While I’m happy she got out of this hellhole living condition we were in, I can’t help but miss her dearly. I might never see her the same way again.
Listening to this while my mum hurl insults and shout at me just to feel loved, i wish I was someone's baby, someone else's baby. I wish I was a son of a loving mother and father
Sending as much love from around the world to you. Stay strong, it won't always be this way. And you won't always be in this place that you're in now. It will be ok. You are loved. *hugs* 🖤

What makes this song even more heartbreaking is the subtext. “Betting” on a hopeless case, a losing battle is wholly different from simply standing by it. You’re sacrificing your means of living for a person or a struggle that never stood a chance, but you still did it, so they wouldn’t be alone when (not if, but when) they fall. It’s the opposite of playing the lottery.
So incredibly hopeless.
this is the perfect wording of the meaning of this song honestly, i tear up everytime i listen to it because of this. choosing to stay even though you know how it's going to end because it's doomed from the start
and still refusing to leave their side. breaks my heart
@silvia-with-an-i
It makes me think of my late cats as they got old/sick. I knew they were hopeless and the end was inevitable but I still held onto hope and kept them comfortable and happy when there was nothing left to do.

I looked into their eyes when they were down, and I was there by their sides. My babies…💔

Lol really did you hear baby shark lol
Listen to Bloodhail by Have a Nice Life, its a worthwile listen if youre trying to discover more sad music.
literally every time I hear it I get depressed
To know that there’s someone out there who will stay through the rough with you, letting you know that it’s okay to lose, that they are not going anywhere. They are happy that atleast you tried. I think I am that person for myself. It’s feels like a self-love song.
I know that this song is about relationships but it always help me with dealing with loss or failure from me or from people i like. "I know they're losing and i pay for my place by the ring where i'll be looking in their eyes when theyre down" transmits such a huge feeling of empathy and strentgh. To bet on winning dogs is easy, but not on the losing ones.
I interpret it as trying to help people who you know will never change like that line and the line "will you let me lose on losing dogs I know there losing and I'll pay with my place"
Both of yall have similar interpretation that I have and thankfully I’m not the only one, yeah I mainly saw it as someone who so desperate for love as she says “call me” and “say it to me” the words she says to them she wants reciprocated and when she doesn’t she doesn’t blame them she blames herself for expecting that, with the lines “I pad for my place” but still wanting them to be there for her when she’s down on her luck but the last part of the song she pleads for them to be there for her like she did for them. Thank yall for coming to my ted talk cause I’m literally crying as I type this cause of how powerful this song is.

Romantic is far from the only relationship type out there. I think your interpretation is also correct.

For some reason at first I interpreted "beting on loosing dogs" as being with someone even at their worst
"By the ring where I'll be looking in they're down
I'll be there by their side" hits me so much. I wish my mom was by my side when I hoped for her support. She still does all her best to be a good mother for me, but it's like all *I* do is make her worry, angry and dissapointed. However she can't believe it at all every time I tell her that I only feel like a burden for her
You are not alone. Her lack of being able to parent presently is not a reflection of how worthy you are of that love. It is our divine birthright to feel loved and cared for simply for existing. Hang in there. I know how it feels. You are not alone. The only way out is through, friend. THROUGH we shall get! ❤
@@Gurramina Thank you so much!! I moved out than 1,5 year ago and feel a lot better. Now I live with my loving partner who can handle this issue of mine

I promise that she loves you dearly. Everyone has a time when they fell like that but I promise you aren’t a burden

this song makes me bawl my eyes out even though I don't even correlate with the song
Me too 😭
Ikr??? There's something about the haunting melody, the overall heaviness, and the way the story cleverly unravels as the song goes on. Mitski is such a good storyteller that she can make you feel the pain in a song full force even if you can't relate to it one bit.
@@KimGhidorahThis is actually so true for some reason it really got to me when i first listened to it. I don’t often cry when listening to something for the first time but the last time i did was probably my first listen of 808s and heartbreak many years back.
So real
real
The "I WANNA FEEL IT!" It feels like a knive in your heart...
Sometimes I listen to this song and it reminds me of my mom.
She never listened to this song, but it reminds me of how she was.
She died suddenly due to a pulmonary embolism eight months ago. There was nothing anyone could do to save her.
I was about to turn eighteen at the time and I was going to plan a great party with my friends, and learn how to cook, and have a plan with college and learning how to do all these grown up things.
But now I feel as if I have no motivation for these things, and I want my life to be just over already so I can see my mom again.
I miss my mom. I love her.
Update: It just turned a year now, and I still miss her and I love her. I don't think I'll ever not miss and love her, and that's ok.
Similar situation for me, lost a mother figure at 17. It hurts less as time goes on, I had to learn to do many things I thought she’d be there to teach me. I wish I’d treasured the time more, however ik she would be proud of how independent I learned to be. She was very independent and kind and I try to do the same. Best thing we can do for them is keep going, and she can live on through us everyday in small things we do. Focus only on the memories that gave you strength and happy ones from her, don’t let what took her away turn those memories into sad ones
I'm so sorry for both of ur losses.. I'm a young girl who's 14 yr old and probably u are all adults but Idc comforting others is the important thing. Im very sorry Rest in peace to both of ur kind and wonderful mothers. My deep condolences.
My deep condoleances
Don't end your life, there's so much for you.
She would want you to have a fulfilling life, you should.
I’m sorry for your loss… When all hope is gone reach to god (or whatever god you worship) all will be ok and you’ll get through this🫶🏾 remember if you ver need some to vent to I am here. I will listen and help your through this. Remember. Your. Worth.🫶🏾

I recently lost my cat, he was the most important thing in this house for me when i was feeling down. He loved me, and i loved him back. Everyday i wake up now, i still am careful when getting out of bed not to disturb him, even if he's gone now. Everyday i still worry if i fed him, only for the memories to come flashing back. This song reminds me of him so much, how i grew up with him, how he was always there when the eventual hardships of growing up hit, and i'll miss him forever for that. Thank you, this is a great song to remind of those happy moments.
I’m so sorry. He will forever be watching over you
I'm so sorry, my cat di3d recently too, I didn't even had time to see him, touch him or even saying goodbye, I feel you, for me my cat was my son.
Hey I’m going through the same thing my dog died yesterday and he was my little sunshine without him I feel lost and I just feel empty 😢

"my baby my baby, your my baby say it to me." Hits hard. Whenever I hear this I imagine my mother singing this to me ,holding me close. She left me when I was 7 and never came back. She started another family and will occasionally call on birthdays. I act like I hate her and most of the time I do but some days I just miss her like h*ll. I just miss that motherly love.
i am so sorry. you will get the love that belongs to you whether it be through your mom, or some other way.
@@iiyusraii Thanks so much. That means alot to me. I wish you the best of luck out there and I hope I do too.
Aww :) sometimes I cry to songs like this cuz I am usually alone and slowly losing connection with some people, I wish you good day ❤️
Im so sorry. I'm sending you hugs!
I’m so sorry.I feel this so much. My parents got divorced when I was a baby and every now and then she would visit. And when I was 11 she completely abandoned me, and now has a new family. I haven’t seen her in over 6 years and have only talked to her a handful of times but it’s been well over a year since the last time we’ve talked. I don’t really miss her cause I’ve never been used to having her, but I grieve for the relationship I never got to have
Mitski's songs are the type of sad when there's rlly no hope anymore

Uhm
Growing up in a household with an angry man was hard. I stepped up and was the emotional pillar my mom needed. I was there to wipe her tears and comfort her when she cried about my physically abusive/mentally/emotionally abusive druggie father. I just wanted a normal childhood. I just wanted my fathers love. It hurts when I see all the people with loving fathers knowing I'll never have that. Knowing no one will be able to walk me down the isle, instead im absolutely terrified of men. All because of my father.
I feel u 💙

I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side
Will you let me, baby, lose
On losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I wanna feel it
I bet on losing dogs
I always want you when I'm finally fine
How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come
Someone to watch me die
Someone to watch me die
I bet on losing dogs.

This song is genuinely miserable in the most beautiful way possible. Its captures the turmoil of trying put your whole heart into something, knowing damn well your love wont be repaid....but doing it anyways. And that's what makes this song so painful: its painfully self aware. They know what to expect... or what not to.
Its a song that helps understand the mindset of those who stay in toxic relationships or adult kids who dont cut off abusive family members. Of those who just want some validation, someone in their corner...

i know the "did you get that" at the end was probably supposed to be cut out but it really was the cherry on top, it just sounds so lonely
i know everyone has their own interpretatives and perspectives towards this song, but in my opinion the lyrics connects too me because i feel like it's about attaching yourself too false hope, temporary distant faded people, connections etc since at the end of the day the idea of letting go and losing all of it is just too much so you stay until you cant anymore, this song is so beauitfully written it gives off the concept of having attachment issues too me. "i bet on losing dogs" " i always want you when im finally fine" i love this song with my whole heart.
What does this line " I always want you when I'm finally fine " mean??
@@shiwangee my concept of that line is craving and needing someone or something you grew attached too but yk at the end of the day it's not healthy for you at all but you still long for whatever it may be because sometimes the idea of just letting go of everything is all too much, i feel like everything is too much i feel this line deeply, because so much people i lost in the past for whatever reason they js got distant or i cut contact for the best, up to today i still miss and think abt everything especially whenever a tiny little inconvience occur everything comes flowing back whenever im sad (sorry i said sm i just love talking abt deep shit like this but ofc everyone has their own povs this is js mines)

sobbing, screaming, throwing up.
truth is, i don't really know how to let grief pass. how to accept it all. i do wish i was just strong, im wondering if im really ready to be in a healthy relationship. you deserve so much more, queen. so much more. i don't always want to depend on you whenever things get heavy for me.
im losing myself too. i dont know what to do.
Same - as soon as I feel fine I rememember this song and feel bad again. Grief is a process - some days I feel fine and some days it feels fresh. 9 months later and I’m crying here and there, including rn. I was the losing dog and I still miss this person as soon as I start to feel fine. You are allowed to feel the grief as it comes - take a breath and let it go after a few minutes of feeling it. You are strong and over time we just come to terms with it, doesn’t mean we’ll ever be 100% okay with it ❤️🩹

this is so random but i had this song stuck in my head, humming it, repeating the lyrics in my head all day, even though i hadnt listened to the song in months little did i know after skl my mum would tell me, my sister was really concerned for our dog, she was panting, vomiting, drooling, not eating and her heart was beating excessively, we thought we would lose her that day, i told my mum about this after my dog settled down (shes okay) and was so amazed.
1:28 " Will you let me, baby, lose" hits different
fr.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, MITSKI.. ARE YOU OKAY?
i see a lot of different interpretations in here, so im going to add mine. "i bet on losing dogs, i know theyre losing and ill pay for my place by the ring" and "im losing by their side" to me means that she is putting her bet, her trust, into a person (the dog) all the while knowing this person will let her down, and lose. and this means she will lose as well, as she has been hurt. "i always want you when im finally fine" means that she always is drawn back in as soon as she starts to come out on top.
EXACTLY RIGHT?
this is exactly how i interpreted the song. like a toxic relationship you know will only hurt you, but you keep coming back
except the dog is the one losing and the money being bet on it is perpetuating its fight in the ring to constantly lose. seems like an underdog fetishization. this song seems mad narcissistic to me idk. like yeah you paid for your place, but you chose to pay for your place, feeling victim of your own choices while the Dog is dealing with the consequences of the emotional masochism that they return to. If they frame betting or putting money into the dog as putting trust, than each time they lose money on a bet they’re losing trust. and when they’re fine, able to trust again, they return to throw their money and lose their trust once more.
what’s the dog losing here tho.idk. seems pretty fucked and abusive, but mfs wanna come and say its a toxic relationship, when the toxic relationship is onesidedly a result of the one betting, the one choosing to go to dog fights (where all dogs are ultimately losing), the one self victimizinf themself, and feeding themself the gratifying narrative of some nurturing savior fantasy trope, when they’re the very source perpetuating the dog to its doom.
@@Zero-fh2wb sounds like you interpreted it completely differently from most of us. I see it more as she is in love with the loosing dog. but she knows itll only drag her down more, but since she is so in love with it she cant let go, and lets herself get ruined with it. so not abusive on either side, and theres not really a villain of the song. maybe a bit of codependency at most.
@@ahoee except a dog has little autonomy and is forced to fight in the conditions and way its been brought up, and she exploits that for her own masochistic gratification, and turning back to it whenever she is fine, meaning her wellbeing is gauranteed regardless but the dog's isnt, and she can frame herself under the delusion she's some saving grace, whilst simultaneously being the very cog that propels the dog to continue fighting thru her money being placed on him

„Tell your Baby that im your Baby“
This is my first time listening to Mitski outside of TikTok (not that I don’t like her music but she isn’t my usual type of artist ), but now that I’m actually listening to her stuff I get why people like her music. It reaches this part of me that I often ignore but is always there yk. Ig what I’m trying to say is I FEEL this song in my core.
I know this is about relationships and all, but I've lost my dog (he's not dead just lost; well I pray to god that he's fine and either got saved by someone or manages to survive); and just the "my baby my baby" makes me cry so much I miss him so much please come back to me my baby 😥🤍🤍🤍
i hope you, and your dog, are doing okay 💙
The most beautiful song I've ever heard.
you know, the first few lines where it goes “my baby, my baby, you’re my baby say it to me” always gets me, even right now it’s making me cry real hard. not too long ago (an hour ago) i was sitting down close to my parents bed while drawing and stuff, (mind you it was around 4am) my parents came back upstairs, they were downstairs drinking. they noticed me and said stuff like “oh hi, (my name) !” lovingly, especially my mom. as i was getting ready to go to my room, since yk i was close to their bed and they finally came upstairs, i got my stuff and stood up, about to walk towards my room..until my mom said my name, i looked at her and she was already sitting down on their bed, she gestured me to come towards her and so i did. i put down the stuff i was holding and even put my airpods back in their case, i then went over to her, she was holding her arms out to me, so i sat down and started to hug her. she was all happy and continued to hug me, then she looked at my face while holding both of my hands in hers, she started to cry, saying how she misses me, as in how she misses younger me. the younger me who would always spend time with her and never leave her side. she kept on saying how she misses me and how much she loves me. “you’re my baby, you’ll always be my baby.” is what she also told me while crying, she made me lay my head on her shoulder as she also did to mine, then she said “i love you, so much” i told her the exact same words, i love her so much. she would look at my face and caress my cheek while telling me how beautiful i am, that made me break down, as i have low self esteem. i had tears running down my face as i was smiling at her and looking at her face too, she told me how she loves when i call her mama, cause she would always call her mom, ‘mama’. she continued to hug me tightly and repeatedly told me how she misses and loves me.
to think my past self thought how no one cared about me, ..when my mom clearly did. she has always cared for me. she loves me. she’s my mama and i’m her baby, nothing will ever change that. i don’t know what i’d do without her, i love her so much.
i’m her baby and she’s my mama.
i love you so much, mama. 💜💜
im crying so much i hope you and your mama are happy forever
I'm so jealous. You better be happy and make the most out of your time with her, cuz many of us would kill to even have a moment like that with our moms :')

Betty...My dog of 15 years that died on 1st of Sept early in the morning....I woke up to my parents crying.I was confused.I checked on her and she wasn't breathing.Thats the moment I broke down...It's been a month.I miss you Betty....

I don't mean to be rude but, how?
@@person12321 i used to listen to mistki’s songs when i was at my lowest, but this song feels like it’s directly comforting me idk if u understand
@@Fabxsss Yeah that's a good way to say it :) Especially the part where Mitski says "you're my baby say it to me" Its very comforting
this song helped me through my crush on a toxic guy, now I'm with someone far better than he'll ever be!! Love Mitski!

@@Nameless.svxqx.lmao nice
@@arthurhuerta4234bros face reveal
@@arthurhuerta4234 why are you making a face reveal? nobody asked
this is like one of the few songs that can pull an emotional breakdown out of you
Well agreed with you, make me go to another world she represented me
I truly want to know what could’ve happened to Mitski during this time of her life when she wrote this song… it’s a sadness that is truly contagious but yet it’s beautiful as hell
Lyrics:
My baby, my baby
You're my baby, say it to me
Baby, my baby
Tell your baby that I'm your baby
I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side
Will you let me, baby, lose
On losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I wanna feel it
I bet on losing dogs
I always want you when I'm finally fine
How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come
Someone to watch me die
Someone to watch me die
I bet on losing dogs
Reminder: Ily.. random stranger.. *i love you*
7th anniversary of this awesome album!
My cat died yesterday and I’m devastated.
Im so sorry...
im so sorry I really hope you're better soon
I'm so sorry for you I know how it feels hope your better soon
this is my comfort song when I cry
Mitski's songs never fail to make me depressed 🔥🔥
Last month my sister died. Before that, she had a daughter for four years. She’s been in and out of jail and I had to take care of her when she was gone. After she passed, my niece was taken in by my aunt and uncle. While I’m happy she got out of this hellhole living condition we were in, I can’t help but miss her dearly. I might never see her the same way again.
It was 3am when this song finally hit me and I started sobbing. Wow, I am mentally unwell :')
Listening to this while my mum hurl insults and shout at me just to feel loved, i wish I was someone's baby, someone else's baby.
I wish I was a son of a loving mother and father
😢💔
Sending as much love from around the world to you. Stay strong, it won't always be this way. And you won't always be in this place that you're in now. It will be ok. You are loved. *hugs* 🖤
🤗🥰
