I think its about how mitski enjoys feeling needed in some way Mitski is the voice of depression/anxiety whatever taunting and guiding you but you just feel worse every time searching for that something I know they're losing and i'll pay for my place by the ring
Mitski Is The 21st Century's Poet Laureate Of Young Adulthood : NPR
She's well aware this person is a losing dog but she'll still bet on them because she understands the feeling of not being wanted.
Somewhat like your best american girl, mitski describes trying to fit into a white setting and unrequited yearning for a ‘strawberry blond’ (probably referring to a white boy)
That being said, if it makes you feel pretty and you enjoy it, then enjoy it. Mitski herself said that the whole song was open to interpretation, and i’ve kinda internalized the way i perceive the songs meaning to problems i have, so idk this is a pretty dry theory. Reply reply revolutionaryone5848 • any mitski lyric tbh reply reply jwyyxy • the only right answer reply reply more replies mitskiisagod • trees are swaying in the wind like sea anemones reply reply menheraxchan • reply reply zebax6 • I've recently been diving deeper into mitski's songs than i had before (i'm in danger of becoming more than just a casual fan, whoops) and i just adore 'abbey'
But i can't really find much interpretation of the lyrics or even anything mitski has said about the song From what i can gather it's about the very human state of dissatisfaction, and that mitski is always chasing something and has. They don't understand her culture and so all they do is look at it from a far with disproval. I'm writing a biography on mitski for an essay (ish) thing i have to write and wikipedia says that her name is mitski miyawaki and her birth name is mitsuki laycock
Another page says that mitsuki laycock is her legal name
But if laycock is still her legal name and mitski is her stage name, what is mitski miyawaki for?
