I Love Mitski's Music So Much I Cannot Put It Into Words - Tumblr Posts

I Will - a Mitski song analysis

note: this is my first song analysis post and i’ve decided on how i will make those; please listen to the song beforehand, and i will focus on the lines that i have a lot to talk about

i believe that the song’s overall meaning is quite clear, as it’s someone caring for their lover and looking out for them, though there are certain lines that i would like to discuss in more detail.

1. “if only you would let you” i’ve read annotations where people said that these lyrics meant that it indicates self love, which i find understandable, but i do not think so. i think it means that that this person’s lover fears showing vulnerability as they do not want to appear weak in front of their partner and they do not want them to think less of them or view them as less worthy, and because of that, they do not allow themselves to be taken care of.

2. “body bare” i believe it would mean both literally and that this person will show their partner all of their insecurities and flaws, that they will be bare in front of them.

3. "all the quiet nights you bare, seal them up with care" i think that this person's trying to tell their lover to share their problems with them, to not keep the burden all to themselves, for their partner will try the best they can to help.

4. "for i will hold them for you" this one's similar to the previous one but here the person's saying that they will take the load upon themselves. they'll carry it for their lover. they'll help them through it.

overall, this song is really comforting and i would say it feels like a hug.

Francis Forever - a song analysis

like the previous song analysis, please listen to the song beforehand to be able to understand this analysis better before i start analysing any lines, i would like to say that i feel that this song is the singer talking about how they’ve separated from someone that meant a lot to them and this is affecting them deeply, all because they do not know how to live without their lover being there anymore.  1. ‘i don’t know what to do without you, i don’t know where to put my hands’ the singer and their partner have separated and the singer has no idea now how to cope with them being gone. they cannot imagine their life without their partner now that they’re gone 2. ‘i don’t need the world to see that i’ve been the best i can be, but i don’t think i can stand to be, where you don’t see me’ the singer knows that they will not be able to carry on without their lover. they will not be able to live if their lover doesn’t notice them. they don’t want the world’s or others’ recognition, they just want their lover’s. 3. ‘i look up at the gaps of sunlight, i miss you more than anything’ i think here that the singer and their lover used to go on walks or something of the like where they’d look up at trees and see the gaps between them that let the sun in, and that made the singer miss their lover even more than they already do. 4. ‘and autumn comes when you’re not yet done with the summer just passing by’ i think this lyric conveys that, to the singer, summer is a time of happiness, a great time full of pleasant memories, yet it does not last for long, as autumn comes quicker than they expect. this song doesn’t really have many lyrics to decipher the meaning of, but i still thought that there were some lyrics that had a bit more depth into them. also i just wanted to add that the electric guitar played here made the song sound more like someone screaming the lyrics while crying than someone singing them softly while crying.

Pink in the Night - a song analysis

much like my other song analysis, please listen to the song beforehand.  i think this song is just yearning, and because of that, i adore it so much. “i’ve been blossoming alone over you” the singer uses this to show just how much they’ve loved their lover. a flower could take from few months to many months to bloom, to blossom. also i think they used ‘blossom’ of all words to show that the love they have for their lover is as beautiful as a flower. “i love you, i love you, i love you” the repetition means two thing; the first being that the singer is doubtful. they fear that their lover does not love them back, so they’re hesitant with their first ‘i love you’ but when they see that their lover loves them as well, they get more confident, and they tell their lover over and over how much they love them. the second thing being that they’re repeating the phrase because they just want to show their lover just how much they love them. “i could stare at your back all day” the singer cannot face their lover, and because of that, they simply stare at their back instead. one of the reasons for them not being able to face their lover is because they know that their lover does not love them back, so they cannot bare to see them. another reason is because they think that their lover is so much better, nicer, kinder, smarter, more flawless and more perfect than they would ever be, so they cannot see their face, because they think that they do not deserve to do so, so they opt for staring at their lover’s back instead. “can i try again, try again, try again” the same thing i said about the repetition of “i love you” in the aspect that kissing again and again is just to show their lover just how much they admire and adore them. they are also hesitant here, afraid that they would get rejected, that the kiss would go badly just like last time, so they ask then they get more confident when their lover agrees. i absolutely adore this song. it is just completely yearning and i totally love that. 

Lonesome Love - a song analysis

as always, please listen to the song before reading the analysis. i think this song is perfect for an enemies-to-lovers ship, for many reasons that will be revealed within the analysis. ‘so i can win and this can finally end’ the singer is always facing the person that they love, whom they would rather die than confess that they love, and their lover always wins. it shatters them to see it happen, but they cannot really do anything about it, so they do a re-match, then another, and then another. they think that these rematches will help them get rid of their feelings towards their lover, but they later on find out that they’re mistaken. ‘and you say hello, and i lose’ their lover simply greets them, a simple hello, and they already know that they’re going to lose, because they know that they will not ever stop feeling what they feel for their lover and opponent, they will never stop thinking of them, so even if they did win, they wouldn’t reach what they wanted. ‘why am i lonely for lonesome love? why am i lonely?’ the singer is now simply thinking of everything, after losing to their rival and lover once more. they realize how painfully lonely they are, and how they crave to be loved. this song is very sad when you come to realize it-

Come into the Water - a song analysis

as always, please listen to the song before reading the analysis. i actually came up with this specific interpretation quite recently and it’s the first analysis that i will post while including the characters that i built it up with. also i would like to say that this post contains moriarty the patriot/yuukoku no moriarty spoilers so beware. “come into the water” this line made me used to think that this song is from a yearning merperson’s point of view, but it recently dawned upon me that this could fit a certain favourite of mine: moriarty the patriot’s william james moriarty. as we saw in the end of the anime, he jumped from the bridge, trying to kill the final devil, which is himself. this line is directed towards sherlock. he, unintentionally, wants sherlock to save him. there’s a tiny, tiny part of him that wants to still live, and that part is the one that’s saying this line. “you look so good, but i keep my hands 'til you come into the water” he’s simply just admitting that he likes sherlock, and that he wants to hold him and touch him, but he knows he cannot, for many reasons at that, so he would keep his hands until he saves him, if he ever does. however, if he doesn’t, and if they were reunited in another life, they would still hold each other. ”but would you tell me if you want me?” he believes that sherlock doesn’t want him in the same way that he wants sherlock, so he asks for reassurance. do you want this? do you want me? am i what you wanted? am i really? i think that just shows that although he may seem to be confident and assured of himself, he isn’t, in the slightest.  “i didn't know i had a dream, i didn't know until I saw you” he didn’t know that he could possibly have emotions like this. he didn’t know that he could love someone like this. he didn’t know he had a dream, where he lives on after his plan in that dream. i think this line also really works with the most recent (when writing this it’s the most recent) chapter in the manga, chapter 67, where liam says that before meeting sherlock, his world was colourless, and sherlock brought colour into it. he didn’t know he could even see colour or dream of seeing colour before he met sherlock. i don’t actually know how will this post be received by everyone on here, especially because i never post stuff that clearly belongs to a specific fandom, it’s usually all vague, so im a bit nervous about how will this do on here.
