Lyrics:
You’re an angel, I’m a dog
Or you’re a dog and I’m your man
You believe me like a God
I destroy you like I am
I’m sorry I’m the one you love
No one will ever love me like you again
So when you leave me I should die
I deserve it, don’t I
I can feel it getting near
Like flashlights coming down the way
One day you’ll figure me out
I’ll meet judgment by the hounds
People always gave me love
Others were never to blame after all
You believe me like a God
I betray you like a man

[@saraatanasovska5570]

mitski mentions dogs in a song and i know i'll never be the same again

[@renoenjoyer9570]

the moment i heard the forst line I knew it was over LOL

[@ThePastelKnight]

I am not immune to dog poetry

[@privateacademymoonshine6719]

so real for that

[@Ian-es2hs]

the line “you believe me like a god so i betray you like man” is so insane. i love all of the religious, specifically Christian/Catholic themes in this new album, it all hits so close to home and genuinely my favorite album now

[@Finneybyvers]

[@butterbacon7776]

@@user-ne2vt4ht9dnot really but a reference in the Bible when adam worship and was obedient to God, but he betrayed him by eating the fruit eve convinced him to eat when they weren't supposed to

[@butterbacon7776]

And how Adam abused his freedom probably something like that when God gave him freedom

[@oGTurtlin]

incredible lyric

[@charli8815]

"I'll destroy you like I Am" hits especially hard when you remember how many time Old Testament "I Am" God furiously punishes the Israelites.

[@koolaid7433]

The lyrics of this sort of sounds like a letter to her fans, specifically with the lines "you believe me like a god" and "I destroy you like I am". It makes me think of the pedestal that people often put artists, specifically Mitski, on, saying things like "I can't believe Mitski invented music", putting her, even jokingly, on a pedestal and as a symbol, like a god. But then, "I destroy you like I am", and "one day you'll figure me out", sort of makes me think of realizing that there is a person behind this art, and that possibly making it less special, less highly regarded, and how some people, once they get over the image of an artist, move on. Overall I think this song is a commentary of how fans put artists on unrealistic pedestals but once they realize that this idol is simply a person, with flaws and a life, the mystic they had of their music and of this person dissipates, and they leave.

this is exactly how i interpreted this song mitski herself said that the worshiping commentary from sans damaging to her self image

[@KittyDraws_OFC]

"You believe me like a god so i destroy you like a man" GOSH THIS ONE HIT HARD, my favorite so far, this album is amazing

[@Empty_parking_lot]

This feels exactly like what my battle with BPD is like. Complete devotion to others and holding them so high that you crash and break if they ever reveal they shouldn’t be on a pedestal. Then the complete loss without them. But also that feeling of feeling bad for the people who can love you and watch you cycle again.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Damn this song really cut deep. It has such a dark brooding energy that I'm absolutely in love with. I love the sounds of the dogs barking halfway through to add a sinister atmosphere. Mitski really outdid herself with this one.

[@turntodusk]

“I’m sorry I’m the one you love.” My heart was just torn in two in front of my eyes and shoved into a paper shredder. My god, the way she can sing and write so beautifully. It’s like when you’re in a relationship with someone so good and wonderful, but you know you can’t keep up. At some point it feels like you’re taking advantage of their love. They’re so perfect to you, but you aren’t for them.

[@flwr.enzzoo]

it was "im sorry im the one who left"

[@kp361]

@@flwr.enzzoo No. It's 'I'm sorry I'm the one you love.' You're literally watching the lyrics on the video - that's what it says.

[@_aereos]

favorite on the album, all the atmosphere here is so touchable, it feels like she is singing in front on you with nothing but a guitar in the middle of a field at night, i love it

[@yueqiiz]

mitski has such beautiful lyricism. i saw this live for the first time, it was magical. i saw another person point out how this feels like a letter to her fans, and i 100% agree.

[@user-qw4db1xo8c]

So beautiful

[@brianaterente5014]

This song feels like a silent car drive, where the passengers don’t speak a word and you can only hear the sounds of crickets and stray dogs from far.

[@yummybleach6107]

this song very much feels like having to realize you’re the one rejecting the care and love others give you for whatever reason

[@liddonburns8195]

im overwhelmed by how beautiful this is. the lyrics and the video and the editing and the design and the music and everything,, the choir like vocalising at the end and the dogs barking and the crickets and the sound that i cant tell if its a cicada or a scream*,, i adore it and am blown away. so atmospheric and visceral and beautiful. you are truly an incredible artist! thank you for sharing your work with us!

[@clowdyym.]

I LOVE IT :( thanks for all the beautiful art you do, Mitski 💗

[@braydenmcnickle5541]

“I’m sorry I’m the one you love” 😭

[@creepisami]

this song made me think from the lyricism is it’s about taking advantage of the kindness your lover is giving you. from them believing her like god and her betraying them like a man could mean she lets them down and meets their judgement at the end of the day. “when you leave me i should die” maybe she loves them just as much and knows they’ll leave her for her mistakes but she’ll just accept the consequences :{

[@costask3404]

I actually interpreted that as being sarcastic, especially as it is followed by "I deserve it, don't I?"

[@creepisami]

@@costask3404 but she isn’t being sarcastic throughout the song. That line could be as she knows everything she’s doing wrong but still doesn’t stop because she can’t and she’s sorry for it

[@costask3404]

@@creepisami you are probably right, that's just my interpretation of it. But to me the whole song seems a bit sarcastic, like she is sad but at the same time she is not going to die because another person left her. That is exemplified in my mind when she says "people always gave me love / others where never to blame", as if he is saying "oh yes, of course, it is always my fault.."

[@creepisami]

@@costask3404 i guess so but that’s completely different than my interpretation so who cares what you’re thinking :3 this song obviously expresses guilt and taking advantage of someone because of faults you cannot control.

[@costask3404]

@@creepisami ha ha! Well, you can have your version of the song and I can have mine. In my interpretation, she does feel sad and guilty but is also subtly sarcastic about the idea that she deserves to die and that others are never to blame. Consider as well that on the record the song is followed by "I Love Me After You"..

[@sadgroupie]

this song is so hannigram coded

[@puppybitezzz]

The unexplainable crushing feeling this song gives you is chilling, I can’t stop listening to it

[@djyannoushka]

another deeply beautiful use of choirs in her songs i feel so Much listening to this album. the end with the cicadas, dogs barking, the sound of nature and life, that's something special - the music stops but the image of the song doesn't, it goes on a little bit longer. the kind of music i was waiting to find again, im thankful

[@Dappledapple]

One of those songs that’s sparkling new but sounds like something you heard in a past life. The choral section mixed with the barking of dogs is so atmospheric, it feels like any moment where you are terrified but there some small thing you’re desperately clinging onto to keep yourself calm I love this so much and hope to create music like it one day

[@leleklly]

i love you mitski thank u for making my days better.

No sé cómo hace Mitski para describir a la perfección como me estoy sintiendo, además de eso, me encantan los detalles de la canción (los sonidos de fondo al final), es simplemente hermosa😭😭

[@chorakdoon6658]

Id say this song is the most poignant one in the album It rips to pieces without fail

[@kirapuckett8717]

I feel this song for me is feeling guilty that someone loves you because you see yourself so bad that no one deserves to have to deal with you

[@Payayaso]

I think he believes what you said and yet I'm still here for him, he's terrible for what he's done to me yet I'm still here for him and I accepted everything about him and it makes me love him and care for him so much more because I love the person he is even with his flaws.

[@muvhusiningimmbara]

Every song on this album is extremely immersive. I can feel the emotion in every song build and hit home, the very first time. It's almost shocking, but saying that would be an insult to Mitski. Every song has shocked me, lyrically as well.

[@valentinetexass]

This is my favorite song from the album. The climax leading to the end of your song is hauntingly beautiful. Thank you Mitski! I also read Fourth Wing while listening to this album. This song and the heavy snow falling while Xaden and Violet look at each other was a perfect soundtrack to my mind.

[@briows3673]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT, THANK U MITSKI FOR EVERYTHING ♡

[@alyssa6349]

This song is so beautiful. When I listened to it for the first time, it reminded me of my dogs, Shadow, Lola, and Niko. Shadow has passed many years ago and I miss him so much. the other two I'm not able to see anymore, but I hope I can soon. They've treated me so well, and never stopping showing love after so many years. This song made me think of a relationship with a dog, how they love you no matter what, and never leave your side. And how they're the "man's best friend". When she sings "you believe me like a God, and I destroy you like I am" it makes me think of how unconditional a dogs love is, and how many people don't appreciate that while they have it. when she says, "im sorry im the one you love" it makes me think of how an owner might take a dogs love for granted. There's so much more I could break down and say about this masterpiece, but I'll leave that for you all to interpret. I just wanted to share some thoughts. Love your pets, please don't take them for granted. Love you Shadow, Lola, and Niko.

[@marceloguzman646]

this is so bon iver of her

[@wonderliaday]

From my perspective, this song is about a toxic relationship, a person who has anxious attachment and another who has a superiority complex precisely because of him, which is why the phrases "or you're my dog ​​and I'm your man" and "you believed me as a god"

"You're a dog and I'm your man" vs "i'll meet judgement by the hounds" 😭

[@petrinax2944]

It's interesting how in bug like an angel the symbolism behind the angel is one of judgement and the angel in this song is a comparison of morality between the people in the song. It really leans into that idea of sneaking around at night trying to hide a terrible secret full of self loathing from a loved one who you promised to stop for.

[@FireCyanide]

I saw a dead cat by the road in the middle of the night while driving listening to this song and it really clicked for me, this song now represents the cat and the family looking for it in the morning. It was such a poignant image at that moment for me

[@_v1kt0r_39]

A few months ago I left my best friend because she used me in so many ways, and when I heard this song for the first time I kinda felt like she was talking to me. She always played the victim at every moment of our relationship, the line "I destroy you like I am I'm sorry I'm the one you love" hit a little differently because she always used to say "I'm a bad friend", "you don't deserve me" etc. and used MY fillings towards her all the time I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I'M THE PROBLEM From the moment we aren't friends anymore she starts this all circle yet again but with so much more hate and passion I don't know what to do anymore... I'm so tired of this all, and this song kinda makes me feel guilty when I'm listening I don't know if it's a good feeling or not. I don't know anything anymore I just wanted to be loved by someone yet again my feelings were used agains me 😕

Idk why, but all these new songs remind me so much of the older songs that made me love Mitski's music in the first place. I've felt a bit disconnected from the younger and newer fans because I never really see people screaming about the songs I *actually* listen to on repeat (and honestly the way fans from 2018 forward act creeps me out majorly, lol... the way they worship Mitski is extremely weird and parasocial imo...). I don't hate the other recent albums, but this feels like something I'll actually connect with, last time I felt like this was when puberty 2 came out!! I love the lyrics and the more experimental (and acoustic!) feel of the instrumentals so much, and there's not a single song I haven't added to like 4 different playlists already, LOL

[@clovehitch1854]

This song is about my relationships with dog. Yes, I choose this. People betray their dogs, blame dogs, sometimes abandon them. In most cases, we are their gods, and in some cases I am their angel, and they are my gods from God. I love dogs, Dogs destroy us, with love, and their death ending. I have been destroyed. In my judgement time, if there is one, I expect and hope to be judged by all my dogs. Humans, God, may say, Hell, but dog, They be my savior. Somehow, I heard this song before, years ago. Recording my howling dog pack at night, and knowing the sound of each. Tree frogs, insects and swamp sounds in all ranges at 3am. Running with the dogs all night in the cold wilderness. Snuggled at home. Stryder and Dorado, the noble last. Inevitable death last month, after years. Thorin, Bandersnatch, Zara, Boggins, Snowfoot, Ears, Izshaka Eeshaka, Ariadne, Hunter, Goldberry, Romeo, Happy, Trixie, Daley, Thunder, Star, Moiseh, Liver, Tex, Nahanni, Mac, Blitzen, Haemish, Koa, Sampson, Dersu, Puppy, McTavish, N'Tuk, Tyrone, Lightning, Yxal, Smidgen, Skye, Livingston, Alpine, Isabelle, Gideon, Blackberry, Winkie, Tanner. Generations, all gone now. Forgive me, those I cannot recall. All pure-hearted, uncontaminated with lies and deceit. Love each other rightly, for those you love will be gone. You will be gone. Be worthy. More I cannot recall just now. Hold hands tightly, hold paws lightly, lest spirit be destroyed.
