    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

    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.

    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.

    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
      @CandyBookGirlz Před 2 lety +1479

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    As someone with schizophrenia, I can't believe how much I resonate with this song. We live in an age of existential crisis, an age of separation and misunderstanding. It's a real danger, and the feeling of helplessness when you realize you can't please everyone and that you'll fall off the mold is a truly terrifying. I wish Mitski luck in her journey, as I do for a lot of people in the same position.

    I love the way Mitski expresses the exhaustion, the exhaustion that people expect, in fact, she puts a lot into this clip about the industry itself, and the way that sometimes artists need to call attention, like, the way that everyone om the top want them to be, i rlly love how mitski says a lot of things on her art.

  • @endlesslove9697

    I usually never comment on songs on CZcams, but now I feel like I have to do it. This song is a masterwork. It's tremendous how after a long break Mitski can offer us something so decent. Specifically, since a lot of pressure is placed on her. The point is, she's kind of forced to make sad songs because they sell the best. Consequently, she can't do what she wants. It's tragic what show business does and how it hurts artists. The music video also inspired me to dance. I find in it a representation of feelings and a discharge of emotions. In my mind, I even made up choreography for this song. Always this song inspires me so much. Measuring up, Mitski is a remarkable artist and this song is excellent!

    i think this song is about her career. in the very beginning she makes it clear that she is prevented from enjoying some things or living situations because she is working for the knife. the knife would be the music industry, in the part where she says she had stories to tell but no one cared to listen to them would be her ideas that were ignored or discarded. she also shows in the song that she is very dedicated to her work no matter how frustrating it is
