i feel this is the most personal song mitski has ever made. from what i interpreted she is gasping for air while being choked by her thoughts and the only thing she can hold on to is her job. although she often critics the music industry like, for example, in “working for the knife” it’s still her only way to cope with her thoughts. like she said for the song “nobody” she wanted to transform her suffering in something beautiful. the only way she finds relief is in knowing that she can make all the pain she is feeling worth it, useful. she has always made songs that feels private, but this feels like she’s telling us something confidencial, she is whispering to us one of her secrets. at least this is what i see

@yo0mieАй бұрын
"choked by her thoughts and the only thing she can hold onto is her job" is THE most perfect way to put it. one motif i note a lot abt mitski songs is work (particularly using work to cope while still being drowned it it as you say), you can see this a lot in her songs, eg. fireworks, last words of a shooting star, burning hill, and working for the knife like you said! this is one of my fav recurring themes in her songs because i feel like it's something a lot of us can relate to.
@mauve9266 Жыл бұрын
I love the continued repetition of ‘a whole cake’ like it’s her mind bringing it up again and again- an irrepressible thought. Sometimes when she sings it, it sounds laden with an intense shame like she can’t believe she did that. Rlly drives it home.

Lyrics: I don't like my mind I don't like being left alone in a room With all its opinions about the things that I've done So, yeah, I blast music loud and I work myself to the bone And on an inconvenient Christmas, I eat a cake A whole cake All for me Ooh, ooh And then I get sick and throw up And there's another memory that gets stuck Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk And it may be a few years But you can bet it's there, waiting still For me to be left alone in a room full of things that I've done A whole cake So, please, don't take Take this job from me A whole cake So, please, don't take Take my job from me

I ate my whole birthday cake out of stress and now I’m eating anything I can get my hands on. I just don’t know what to do anymore. My best friend hates me and eating something sweet just kind of distracts me, if only for a few minutes. But afterwards I feel like some sort of monstrous pig, and it gets easier and easier to see why he doesn’t like me anymore, because I don’t even like myself anymore.

This song is like the most brilliant straight forward fucked energy to end that with. It took me crying my eyeballs out about being alive to hysterical. Can’t believe you did that bitch. If anyone takes your job from you i’m a goner girl. Thanks for sharing yourself with a very strange world. ❤
