When I think of this song, I think of the protagonist being a part of an affair. Where she bets on “losing dogs” aka couples that are struggling with infidelity and she pays for her place by the ring. Watching the couples fight as the protagonist knows she’s part of the reason that’s why she’s so close to the ring.

[@sadlyunknown223]

But once the protagonist realizes that no one‘s winning in these dog fights ( the protagonist, love interest, and the protagonist love interest, partner) they slowly start to feel bad for the things they’ve done. Then starts to wish worse upon themselves.

[@caitlinxo]

omg you always have such great interpretations i’ve never even thought of!! especially with mitski since the lyrics are so deep

[@summersentiment]

thank you so much! 😊 and yes!! mitski's lyrics are something else ✨

[@aylaist]

i feel like bc of her addiction to being hopeless the line i always want you when im finally fine is more about wanting that wrong person when they finally feel okay bc of that addiction to sadness

[@tabarnliss]

I interpreted this way too!

[@selina-sd4rc]

yeah

[@user-ns2dy7ln9w]

i feel like, in the lryics “i wana feel it” is negative, because when you get used to (like losing in this case) stuff like victory seem so hopeful and unbelievable,and assuming the protagonist has an addition they dont want to get addicted to false hope,

[@hopeplease4054]

This song has always made me think of an affair like the protagonist is The other woman. And the dog she's betting on is her love for this man that she can't have because he's in a relationship with another woman. But still she continues cuz she's desperate for his love.

PLEASE MORE MITSKI IM BEGGINGG

[@kimoldugumbenihicalakadare7897]

i feel like how you' be looking in my eyes when i come and someone to watch me die could be a change in scenery for the first verses where the love interest was the one in the dog fight and losing and we know the love interest has another 'baby' so in the end protagonist himself is fighting and they're personally losing and dying while the love interest watches it. idk if that makes sense

[@thesexypugalsoveryfancy3268]

Fiona Apple is another artists with a focus on songwriting. I especially like slow like honey because of the different perspectives it can have

[@summersentiment]

thank you for the recommendation 😊

[@viinkcii]

thanks for the explanation

[@taichouu_1840]

When I think of this song, I think that Mitski is singing about someone who cheers for people don’t have anyone to cheer for them. She wants to be there for someone who faces life alone. Kind of like a mother.

[@ashleybrown2842]

Sometimes when you feel so little for yourself you surround yourself with destructive environments, thoughts, people. Because they’re so bad you think you could exist there. But you never can you will always lose. When you think you deserve no better you live there over and over. You know they’re losing but you paid for your place.

[@anta345]

townie next! pls :)

[@itsorpa1118]

Analyse Carmen by Lana del Rey too

[@mehribozorgmehri4252]

❤❤🎉🎉

[@Eujedjnejej]

Maybe the part of the ring is the character breaking up the couple. The dogs think she is a good guy for helping so they wont die alone. Meanwhile she was the reason for the fight the whole time (aka she bet on losing the dogs)

[@imjustagirl18]

Hello, can you analyse Carmen by Lana del Rey ?

[@r-nimus9904]

You yap so hard

[@portgasdann3389]

That's... What an analysis is about

[@ElianaBawuah]

I thought she was talking more like the race dogs instead of dog fights. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@portgasdann3389]

This song reminds me of bpd
