I have two interpretations of this song. Interpretation 1 being about someone who has a special passion or hobby and has a true fear of letting it go or not being good enough at it so they constantly try harder and harder but each time, they’re still not good enough at it. Eventually even if they die, they want their hard work to be acknowledged or recognized as good enough so they spend endless time improving to still in the end, not be the best or the best they think they can be. The second one is of someone who is forcing themselves to get more talented at something or a skill for the approval of someone. I would’ve said parent but it’s most likely a lover since the first verse indicates it possibly. They eventually get pulled into trying to master it and become obsessive over perfection to the point where even a single mistake can make them doubt all their abilities or self worth. Just for the attention of the one they love, they try harder and harder yet don’t seem to be good enough for them or reached a high enough goal. They’re aware that how much they’re working themself is slowly killing them which is why they often question how much do they have to do until they’ve finally achieved their desire. This turns into a loop of constant pain, insecurities and never being good enough and even in death, they ask for others or of course the person’s who’s approval they chase, to at least remember their name and their work to even feel a sense of peace.
This song really resonates with me. I keep trying to gather interesting friends who would do anything for each other, hoping they’d do the same for me if I give them enough first.
i had auditions today,it was my first time,and they recorded me and i felt so anxious,i tried singing this and i felt so embarrassed,i choked.i choked and i didnt finish it,im scared to be heard.
im like a background character in my own life at this point when i wave to people i thought i was friends with outside of class they act like they've never seen me before its like they forget all about me
When people at school only remember me due to being a weird kid to make fun of and my friend only got one friend to come to their birthday party and it was me..
Aaa a big vent coming up my bestie the only person who I've ever been myself with the one whos i was once a lover a rival just confessed that they were using a fake personality the thing is ik this will happen my abandonment issues strech from since i was 6 i feel like im talking to a stranger i feel like someone who i loved died i feel so guilty for liking star fruit and not her this is too long istg I'll continue in replies
So basically I'm the only one who knows Abt this whenever she's with the others i feel like crying my eyes out so that's my latest star crossed actually i should start from the beginning when i first started kindergarden as a toddler no one would look at me all my "freinds" would ignore me so yea another star crossed now my childhood freind the only star who didn't leave me but we were forced to drift apart continued
Then there's my other freind we were freinds for ages she suddenly dumped me after this i graduated 2nd for a year i was friendless i had to shift cities everyone wrote cards but u tore them up my oldest memory as a child was crying in a playground as no one would let me join anyway we are now in my middle school days
cant believe mitski invented electric guitar just for this song what an icon #STANMITSKI
fr !!
Frrrr
uhm. no
@@Apoc_Bone_Daddyuhm yes
@@Apoc_Bone_Daddy uhm. yes
this song isnt talked about enough omg
Ikr it's such a vibe and the lyrics hit hard for me
EXACTLY ITS THE BEST
LITERALLY LIKE IT'S SO GOOD AND RELATABLE??
real
FR
I wonder what child mitski sacrificed in order to make this master piece
Herself
my firstborn child but its fine
Me I'm the child
her inner child
an arm and a leg, and her brother's entire body
Okay but does anyone else LOVE how the guitar is played in this?? Or just the instrumental in general?????!!

'Just how many stars will I need to hang around me to finally call it Heaven' hit so deep.
