First Love/Late Spring Lyrics
of the
window
where you sleep
carries
something sweet
a peach tree
but I find that
lately I've been crying like a
tall child
I can't breathe
please don't say you love me
胸がはち切れそうで
jump off of this
ledge I'm on
baby
so I can
crawl back in
when I behaved
twenty five
I've grown into
a tall child
let me walk to the top of the big night sky
te amo mitski por faovr basta
The song represents for me my relationship with my mother. In general the song in my opinion represents a difficult and toxic bond without understanding between the parties and with the helplessness of one of the parties, love-hate relationship
this song is great because it got me into mitski and indie music overall two years ago but now, like 26 months later, it is indeed late spring and I am indeed crying over my first love like a tall child so overall quite relevant
This song has a lot of meaning which has changed over time for me. Originally, i interpreted it as a straight up love song, about falling for someone for the first time and all of the feelings that come with it. Now, admittedly after some person heartbreak, i see it more as a song about the fear of letting yourself fall in love. while love is great and beautiful it’s also painful and taxing, especially when you first fall for someone. I think the “Late Spring” speaks to end of the initial puppy love part of a relationship and the realization that just like spring, most first loves do not last.
@librahomo i think so everyone interprets thing song differently, but here’s my interpretation as i relate to every lyric except for the couple first ones. The long is about love yes, but it’s more complex than that. It’s about childhood trauma, attachment disorders, parentification and practically any relationship not necessarily romantic ones. \r\n\r\n“I was so young when i behaved 25, and now i found i’ve grown into a tall child.” Childhood trauma, possibly parentification and issue regulating emotions. Childhood trauma doesnt necessarily mean something too drastic, it could be emotionally absent parent which is drastic, but unfortunately people dont count...

Childhood trauma doesnt necessarily mean something too drastic, it could be emotionally absent parent which is drastic, but unfortunately people dont count it as trauma. So, it’s about a child who had to behave maturely early on which resulted in wrong development and poor regulation of emotions as an adult.\r\n\r\n“Please, hurry, leave me, i cant breathe. Dont say you love me.”\r\nAttachment disorder. At first i thought is about anxious attachment disorder (constantly stressed about the person leaving) but the second sentences kinda signifies more push-away and anxiety. So, disorganized attachment disorder (there are three in total.) The disorder developer when, one or both caregivers are absent, one or both are emotionally absent, they are physically or emotionally abusive.\r\nThis song can also signify codependency. It’s truly a master piece.
So based on my experience of my first love I have given my own interpretation to this song. So when she says "Lately I've been crying like a Tall child " makes me think how emotional I was during and after the relationship ended because I was so depended on the other person .
"So please hurry leave me I can't breathe Please don't say you love me" this part, is my favorite and I associate it with the breakup. Because I love them just a little too much and them saying I love you just not like the way you do love me , and it was hurting me more hearing I love you and it just made things harder for me.
"And I don't wanna go home yet Let me walk to the top of the big night sky" This parts reminds me after them breaking up with me how I said I wish things were different, I don't want to move on and get over you etc, I just wanted it to last forever and I knew taking the bus and leave would be the final goodbye and I wasn't ready for that.
And I don\'t wanna go home yet \nLet me walk to the top of the big night sky\n- I think I use them as a distraction. I tend to only want them when I’m sad and need someone. \n\nPlease hurry leave me \nI can\'t breathe \nPlease don\'t say you love me \n- it pains me when they confide in me and tell me they want me. I’m hoping they leave. I don’t think they love me, pleading they don’t say it and make me feel worse.\n\nOne word from you and I would \nJump off of this \nLedge I\'m on \n- I’m on my last straw. I don’t know if I can continue being with them. I love them i think I don’t know if I do or don’t.
