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

Let’s be honest, Mitski returning just made 2021 a whole lot better
YESS
yes
Yep
Yes
This.
She really came back and dropped a whole film scene as a music video… Nobody is doing it like her
The first time I recognised the verified user comment, it has to be you… here.
i love mitski but so many people make music videos that are like movies
yo! this is the best day in my life, like how? omggg!!😄
YUHHHHH
frrr
A LENDA VOLTOU NUNCA FUI TRISTE EM QUALQUER MOMENTO DA MINHA VIDA!!!
TRISTEZA??? DESCONHEÇO
The emotion… the soft strings in the beginning… and how its contrasted by the guitar that makes its reaperences its amazing.
Batman approves
Good taste batman 👌
Mitski is one of the most talented artists, she is so underrated for her work
@LiSS S ??? tiktok doesnt define whats underrated and whats not???
So true 💯
@ACIDEATER STOP
speak your truth mileage!
@LiSS S what the hell are you talking about
Mitski has an uncanny ability to release music whenever I’m about to be homeless again.
Hey, are you okay? You can talk about it if you want. I’m concerned
You okay?
You good bro??
This doesn’t sound good I hope you’re okay
She times it
My first concert was Mitski. My first tattoo was a pearl, for her. I’ve been having a hard time at college trying to find motivation. But seeing Mitski dancing, expressing herself this way. It’s the reminder I needed that I can express myself however I want, I am in control of myself, and I am going to be okay. This is what I’ve been waiting for. Everything is good now.
dios, tan bonito.
Literally nobody is doing it like mitski. So happy she’s back
I JUST STOPPED BY TO SAY THIS BUT YES
NOBODY yk NOBODY..
It’s interesting how when she was on the stage at the end, the clapping only happened while she was seemingly struggling with internal pain, but the moment the dance turned outwardly violent the claps stopped
i relate to mitski songs before i even fully know what they’re about
