Lyrics:
I cry at the start of every movie
I guess ‘cause I wish I was making things too
But I’m working for the knife
I used to think I would tell stories
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
No good guys
I always knew the world moves on
I just didn’t know it would go without me
I start the day high and it ends so low
‘Cause I’m working for the knife
I used to think I’d be done by 20
Now at 29 the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at 30 I’ll see a way to change
That I’m living for the knife
I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I’m dying for the knife

Why do i feel like this is how mitski feels a bit pressured to continue being sad to make music, cause thats what she has been doing so far. Like the lyrics about things seeming like it wont change, and "I start the day high, and it ends so low". And she's working for the knife cause if she continues making really sad music it's gonna affect her mental health too.

[@CandyBookGirlz]

I feel like it is that to some degree but I think this song talks about the struggle of making authentic art while dealing with the pressure of making money. Having to pursue the daily grind of getting things done to not be homeless or dead is difficult but the work itself also kills us. “Working for the knife” is literally working a job that exacerbates our suffering. We don’t really have a choice except to die for something while being aware of what it does to us.

[@CandyBookGirlz]

@coda so true 😭 there’s something so satisfying in causing our own pain, like an ED or self harm. We’re all just preforming a endurance test against ourselves and others.

[@CandyBookGirlz]

@coda same here I hope you’re doing alright and beautifully said! I’m struggling much less than I was then, this song just feels so relevant with its references to past trauma and being disenchanted with the adult world. Not to say it’ll be easy but I think we’ll be okay.

[@StrawberryNinja1296]

Everyone has their own interpretation of this song but for me as a recent college grad it's really about going through the monotonous day to day routine of working a 9 to 5 and how quickly you get disillusioned, thinking you would feel accomplished by the time you reach a certain age when in reality the "the road ahead appears the same". "My day starts high and it ends so low" trying to motivate yourself every morning to only come home feeling dead tired ti and drained. "I cry at the start of every movies cause I guess I wish I was making stuff too" feeling like you have no creativity left in you to explore any hobbies.

[@Peculiarpossum]

She did say in an interview this song is abt capitalism so ur right!

[@claire3695]

This song really makes me think of the physiological implications of basing your whole musical career on the most traumatic and difficult aspects of your life. I really understand why she chooses to not have an internet presence, because I imagine it’d be impossible for her to separate herself from her pain. Making your whole livelihood on expressing your pain doesn’t give you options to heal. Hence “working for” and “dying for” the knife.

i interpret this video as not wanting applause and/or praise anymore. Being praised for delivering a message you initially didn't want to spread with your work. that's why she's dancing the way she is at the end, to remind people that her art and music is not supposed to be easy to swallow, but be moved and almost disturbed by it. That she can convey strong emotions, good or bad. i love mitski so much.

[@julia-db-x9255]

I kept trying to figure out what kind of knife this song is about. and then one day I remembered that Mitski is of Japanese origin. In ancient Japan, a master sharpened a knife throughout his life, the culture of working with metal was brought up by the Japanese for centuries! This is the real philosophy of the knife. This is art. This song actually has a very deep meaning. Mitski is just a genius!

i don’t remember where she said it but i think in some interview mitski explained that “a knife is a perfect analogy because it’s cold and sharp and it doesn’t care about you” and something else i took away from that is a knife’s function, intentional or not, is to hurt. anyway banger song on a banger album live laugh mitski

[@ncalisnotenough]

for me, this song is about how her music career is driven by her traumatic experiences, and how if she tried to write a positive song it wouldn’t sell well. that’s why she said “i used to think i would tell stories but nobody cared for my stories i had” and the last scene was probably there to portray her traumatic experiences.

One of the best songs I have heard in a long time. It actually brings me to tears sometimes, because this is exactly how I feel at 20 years old. It's such an overwhelming, oppressive feeling, knowing you could have done something else with your life, but you're stuck in a hard, exhausting path with little to no fulfillment or chance of escape. I don't think any other musician has been able to encapsulate that feeling quite like Mitski.

[@unofficial_beats_2562]

near the end it's almost as of mitski is alone with her thoughts, she does many different dances but they all seem to be in another setting, like a reflection of all the times she wished she could have made other choices or been a better version of herself to mesh better with what society views as socially correct. Instead she's left with these vivid memories and the time alone to reflect on them. Honestly this is so well thought out a masterpiece.

[@polxxm]

I feel like the "knife" that the song talks about could be society, how we live as society says we should live. How tiring its working for society and its standards, we lie to be "accepted" in society, but deep we know the truth. " I always thought the choice was mine And I was right, but I just chose wrong I start the day lying and end with the truth That I'm dying for the knife" In this part it talks about the time when society doesn't need you anymore, and with that rejection we stop fitting in and with this, "we die for the knife" I really loved this song and how everyone interpreted it differently, I hope you liked this song too

[@henryvillotes9630]

I love how nobody talks that Mitski just licked a goddamn staircase. I just love this fandom😔😔😔😔❤❤❤❤❤

[@chenwingsee]

Mitski out here licking handrails like we aren't in the middle of a pandemic. We stan a fearless Queen.

"bro theres a bug on you dont move" literally my ass: 4:22

[@KevinSmith-es1hn]

4:20 me too mitski

[@kolapon6832]

"I used to think I'd be done by twenty Now at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the same" Mitski can't keep getting away with these lyrics 😫

[@insertacooluserhere_8829]

I READ THIS AT THAT PART 😭

[@TheJonathanRivers]

It's so good. Because she isn't even 29. She's 31, but there's that common trope for women to say they're "29" in your thirties to hide their age. More of the masterful lyricism I expect from Mitski!!!

[@kateditz]

@yuitr loing ur

[@seekdiscomfort4746]

Here at 33 the road ahead appears the same... life on repeat repeat repeat.....

[@_k1llj0ys]

I can’t even describe how excited I am. Mitski’s music helped me through a really bad time in my life and kept me going. Her music is apart of my life and saved me from the depression I went through. I am glad she is coming back

[@hawali12]

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[@Hannah-ck4wv]

THIS SOUNDS TOOO GOOODDDDDD

[@Missjunebugfreak]

I love how expressive she's become with her movements. She's an incredible talent.

[@fatimavenicefajardo3564]

I cry at the start of every movie I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too But I'm working for the knife I used to think I would tell stories But nobody cared for the stories I had about No good guys I always knew the world moves on I just didn't know it would go without me I start the day high and it ends so low 'Cause I'm working for the knife I used to think I'd be done by twenty Now at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the same Though maybe at thirty, I'll see a way to change That I'm living for the knife I always thought the choice was mine And I was right, but I just chose wrong I start the day lying and end with the truth That I'm dying for the knife

[@candiidoggii1360]

this song means so much to me, it resonates with me extremely and i have to thank mitski for this really well made piece of art. i wish mitski all the best

[@flowervein3151]

Mitski's music has been introduced to me at the worst point in my life and has literally helped me get through my emotions these past 6 months...Finally going to college next week...got over my break up...excited to start over in a new state, which is literally my escape...I've listened to all her songs everyday while I was working at two dead end jobs...she literally couldn't have come back at a better time

[@leila2686]

"i always thought the choice was mine and i was right but i chose wrong" YOU CANNOT BE DOING THIS TO ME MITSKI

[@ChicagoDeepHouseHead]

I saw her at the pitchfork music fest in chicago. I have never been so captivated by an artist more than her. Her performance and moves were superb. I have never crushed on any artist but Mitski has captured my heart.

[@Lara-vo6rp]

If you don't mind me asking when did the festival happen

[@wailanareyes9754]

"i always knew the world would move on, i just didnt think it would go without me, i start the day high but it ends so low" yea more lyrics to sob to

[@hardlyeversmile01]

i hope mitski knows how much she is loved. how much her music is appreciated and how much her lyrics are felt.

[@Ayerohknee]

This woman is a living, breathing, truly authentic work of art.

[@alcisgoodforu]

fav song from u

[@duckster275]

Honestly

[@vshinigai]

this is so mitski

[@sunny-zh1wr]

The way she holds a frozen pose, the way the lyrics are grudgingly melancholic, this is a masterpiece. Thank you, mitski

Happy 1 year working for the knife! I remember being in the premiere and it was AWESOME!!! One of my favourite mitski songs

[@bronzfrogg]

in 17 hours i hope to feel THAT Mitski feeling that i think we all experience when listening to her songs for the first time. it's happened with every single one of her songs, so i don't doubt it will happen with this..

Mitski is the only artist that has really truly made me feel seen and heard. I’ve found so much solace in her music, especially recently due to a heartbreak, she came when I needed her the most 🤍

[@laceyylmao8315]

Mitski is my hero
