Lyrics:
Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart
Baby, bang it up inside
I'm not wearing my usual lipstick
I thought maybe we would kiss tonight
Baby will you kiss me already and
Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart?
Baby, bang it up inside
Baby, though I've closed my eyes
I know who you pretend I am
I know who you pretend I am
Do mi ti
Why not me?
Why not me?
Do mi ti
Why not me?
Why not me?
Do mi ti
Why not me?
Why not me?

For me this song is about a woman who's been used as the therapist by her partner, they were only there because she listened to their vents, they wanted somebody else but couldn't get them so they settled for her.

[@stick-chan]

I’m getting the impression that this is sung from the perspective of a mistress to a married man, but she’s in love with him while he is only using her for pleasure. “Why not me?” Why won’t he acknowledge their “love” and marry her when he says that he desires her so much. He uses her love to distract himself from his unfulfilling marriage, and therefore he uses her “washing machine heart” (her love and care) to “clean his dirty shoes” (wash away the bitterness he feels from his marriage, but he only uses her for that and nothing more and doesn’t intend to settle down with her).

Well she’s in the wrong if she decides to go with a married man regardless of how well their relationship is going.

I love the image of the clam & pearl turning to needles & her caressing the lifeless, cold cast of an idealized male figure. I think this song is about lust, but also a deep desire to be accepted & actually loved, to not be the idealized, lifeless statue but the real flesh and blood and flawed self. The sudden change of the pearl to needles shows the hostility and alienation of her sexuality she feels about not being the one he really wants, as she clings to the false image of him.

[@fossilfighters101]

[@itsrainingmelons6202]

So the title of the song essentially means, "use me"

[@rbartx1690]

@@itsrainingmelons6202 Sort of, but I think Mitski's songs are usually a bit more complex than just like, exploit me / exploit him. They tend to be about mutually flawed relationships (i.e. Mitski refuses to see this man for who HE is, and clings to a idealized form even as she desperately wishes he would love her for who SHE is. She is explicitly sexual in this video, but her sexuality is prickly, fickle, hostile -- a pearl turned to needles when you try to touch it. Same with "Nobody" -- it's about isolation that is a result of other people, well, not being around you, but also about isolating yourself. It's reciprocal.) -- IMO, of course.

I like how it sounds like a washing machine, she’s a genius. Edit: PEOPLE PEOPLE. THE SONG DOES NOT ACTUALLY COME OUT OF MY WASHING MACHINE. (That would be very cool though) I meant that the beat of the song reminds me of the sounds that a washing machine *can* make (opening or shutting the door) as well as the heavy guitar in the background which kind of mimics the humming sound a washing machine sometimes makes when it’s on. But mostly the melody Mitski is using is very interesting because it goes: (start)/up/down a bit/down/more down/up a bit/up This sequence kind of has a going round-and-round pattern, which reminded me of a washing machine, if that makes sense :)

Theory: "do mi ti" the lyrics used to explain the notes she sings for the next lyrics "why not me" can also be representative of the singer crying. When most people audibly cry its a high pitch or whine (do) followed by an inhale (mi) and another whine (ti). "why not me" could also be viewed as the singer crying them because of the style at which she does so. Okay that's all thank you :)

I believe this song is about a toxic relationship that the singer is blindly unaware of, the singer is going down to the level of an inanimate appliance, like she feels inhuman around them, which she is blindly following, and it says "toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart" which could be a metaphor for the other person taking his emotions out on the singer, which is really sad when peel away the layers

[@moriahhiggs4604]

i think she’s aware the relationship is toxic because in the first line she tells him to toss his shoes in her washing machine heart. she knows she’s only being used as his rebound of sorts and the “why not me?” is her asking why she isn’t more than his object to be used. like he’s using her as a stepping stone so he can improve himself for someone else, but not improving himself for her. she’s just a part of his way to get there. at least that’s what i was getting from it.

this song really hits so hard, especially the "i know who you pretend i am" and "why not me". i have a childhood friend and we've been close, until we moved to another country and i lost contact with him. years later, we saw each other again. i have always liked him and i never had the chance to confess, so when i saw him again after all these years i decided to just do it. we kissed, then i found out he's still inlove with his ex and told me he still love her. i was so fucking heartbroken and embarrassed. they're happy now, but i still can't get over him.

Pretty sure the song is about a housewife who wants to be loved by her husband romantically but instead she’s only used for sex and chores. Her husband even thinks about somebody else when he’s having sex with her, and she wishes he cared and thought about her instead of neglecting her emotions.

[@spinno3238]

i haven't focused entirely on the lyrics but i've always assumed it's about someone who wants to be viewed sexually by their partner and have that connection, but their partner doesn't find them attractive in that way and finds someone else to fill those needs. however i really like your theory on this, i think it fits in more with the "washing machine heart" line more. i guess i read that part completely different

Isn't this about being the second choice actually? Someone here got into a relationship, that caused them to feel bad, so their shoes are now dirty, but Mitski loves this person as well, so she wants to wash their shoes in her "Washing Machine Heart", so she wants to give them the love they need after their relationship went wrong. It would fit with the "I know who you pretend I am" part, suggesting that they imagine the person they broke up with while hanging out with Mitski, and Mitski asking "Why not me?" since she from the start wanted to give them love, but they didn't choose her.

*I dont really know what the meaning of the song is.. but here is how i see it:* *1. Relationships/love* Doing everything for a person you love or a person youve been together with, but them choosing someone elses over you. "Why not me?": why them and not me even tho i did everything for them "thoss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart": always being there for them but them ignoring you or like i said choose someone else over you. *2. Friendship* Always helping your friends but as soon as you talk about your problems you get ignored or they say "same, i feel you".. again the lyric with the dirry shoes.. washing their dirty shoes: their problems but just being a washing machine, not getting the help you need. / or being in love with your friend *3. How i feel:* My dad is an alcoholic etc and when i see kids with a healthy family or healthy parents relationship i always think "why not me" He also used me to talk about his problems even tho im still a child. *4. i know who you pretend iam:* Having someone who hurts you because of their past trauma, maybe someone that just use you to live their dreams and live or having someone that pretends that youre someone they loved but never got, and you know you never will be enough for them and that its toxic, but still you cant escape. *5. need to be loved* "Why not me": always seing people in a healthy relationship while you cant go into one or always got into unhealthy toxic relationships, also feeling the need no be loved and dreaming about an unhealthy way of love.. example: being stalked, because you think you are not loved enough, so you dream about unhealthy relationships where youre being mistreated, because you also feel empty.. like a nobody

For me this song is symbolizing toxic relationships. Her washing machine is her heart. The dirty shoes is her toxic partner and what’s bringing them down. The kiss is symbolizing she keeps letting them in and assissting them so in hopes she can get affection as well. She’s confused on what she’s doing wrong becquse she’s helping in every way and she’s lost in what to do because the damage has been done leading to a never ending cycle. She’s offering everything to them in hopes to feel loved that it’s come to the fact that she wants to be used just for seconds of attention

[@idiotlesbian7371]

I think...When she sings "Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart", is a metaphor to healing the person she loves; She will help you clean your past, your wrong steps. The dirty shoes: your past, pain, wrong steps. Washing machine heart: Your entire self (or your heart) trying to heal it; Maybe the song is about give your entire yourself to a person and allow them to use you as their pillar to surpass the pain because you love them enough to do it; But in the end, you get rejected, in a agonizing and lonely way. If I'm being dumb in this interpretation, forgive me. Is 00:37 in the evening and I don't have any more braincells. P.S: I don't know why, but this song sounds so deep and touch a place of my heart that I don't existed; It gives me a nostalgic sensation of love in a hurtful way.

I was just the means of being with him again and choosing him in the end.
