I absolutely adore this song and have for years and i'd love to share my take on Mitski's genius lyrics.

This song is about the effect of an abusive and turbulent relationship and the odd sense of longing one can experience after the end of the relationship. The first verse tackles insecurity, these thoughts I believe to be a combination of two things, the insecurity coming straight from the soul and the indoctrination one can experience in an abusive relationship. The repeated refrain indicates to me that touch has a double meaning, touch in the sexual context, and touch in...

I think it’s mainly just the Lovecraftian story of, I think, a cult worshipping Yog Sothoth to bring back the Old Ones. But I definitely think it has implications of the doom and judgement of humanity, which also probably goes with the Lovecraft story, but also just an implication on the real world.

I think that he is basically just describing burnout from drugs which is a result of the way the world is and also burnt out just because of the way the world is.

I basically dedicated this song to my best friend.... he doesn't know how much I really love him or how much I care about him. with all the scary adn evil times in the world right now, he just makes me feel safe. I think its on e sided love, I don think he'd ever like a guy like me. its bittersweet; I love the conversations we have together, but when they're over I'm just upset he doesn't asee how much I love him and how much he really means to me

This is an interesting song in terms of how the storytelling is done. It starts out being told from third person, and only addresses the main character in reference as "someone", which seems to imply that their identity isn't actually that important. However, in the second verse it begins to refer to the character as "she", and seems to give a stronger sense of familiarity to her, though there has still never been any context provided in terms of who this person is and what is written in this letter that she is reading. Then in the second half of...

I agree with nobodies' interpretations here. The song was written when the singer was very inebriated and high and was hardly revised when sober. It's an inebriated rant that really means nothing to anyone outside of her. It only has the meaning that you personally give it. It's musically okay, but lyrically void.
