Lyrics:
Heat lightning
Running outside the window
I’ve laid awake since 1 and now it’s
4 o’clock
Though I’ve held on
Can’t carry it much longer
On the ceiling dancing are the
Things all come and gone
And there’s nothing I can do
Not much I can change
So I give it up to you
I hope that’s okay
There’s nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
Heat lightning
Watch it from my doorstep
Sleeping eyelid of the sky
Flutters in a dream
Well I’ve held on
But feel a storm approaching
Trees are swaying in the wind
Like sea anemones
And there’s nothing I can do
Not much I can change
Can I give it up to you
Would that be okay
There’s nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
There’s nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender

Mitski - Heat Lightning (Official Lyric Video)
#Mitski #HeatLightning #LaurelHell
The "There is nothing I can do , not much I can change" hit me deeply
Same, Kaneki.
YUP THAT PART
Same😭
SAME
It's sometimes a hard truth to accept but at the same time it's liberating to know that you can just let go of things that you aren't in control of
just when things start to get worse, mitski comes back with another banger
FRR
Ur pfp 🥲
FOR REAL.
🥲🥲
Valid pfp 😩
since heat lightning is something you see from far away and occurs in humid/hot weather I think it might mean warning signs in a relationship. heat lightning is also silent since it is so far away, appearing as a flash. but thunder always accompanies lightning, but with heat lightning you can't hear it. so the lightning is like a warning of the storm ahead which could be bad changes/behaviours in a relationship. and when she says there's nothing she can do it might mean she just gives into her partner even though their behaviour might be toxic. while the storm might be something bad about to happen, she is powerless and can only watch on, accepting it. 'I surrender' might be her giving up and just facing the inevitable. but then again, she sees the lightning in a dream. so it might not be real yet but she has a feeling it might, which is why it is seen as an incoming storm
Damn that’s smart
Set 1 English things
I would also think that this thought process can be applied to more things that are out of our control - like for me, it applies really well to my fear of the impacts of climate change and I feel helpless much like she does in this song
@@celestialbinch that's how i interpreted it too!
omg I’m in love with this comment, thank you
one thing i love about mitski and her fans is that with every song, everyone shares their own theories, interpretations, analysis, personal stories and just how it makes them feel. i feel like we all just feel so much from her music and its always so nice to see how each person sees and reacts to it. i think mitski fans are just so special.
dsheyeydysyysye YES
SAME OH MY GOD its my favorite thing
IS THAT TACHIHARA? (ur pfp)
@@therevefestivaal YES IT ABSOLUTELY IS
FR😭
Mitski said on her RollingStone interview that "maybe the reason you’re always the one making mistakes is because you’re the only one trying" and honestly she should pay for my therapy sessions.
Heat Lightning.
This is a statement also about The only Heartbreaker ! Recommend you listen to it if you haven't already !
she always releases a new song at the right moment of my life.
Same
SAME??
Just before first break
Literally
EXACTLY
Everyone's like "can't believe mitski was the influence behind existence". I can, I believe it
she’s releasing one song each month and i’m here for it.
I think it's an album EEEE
@@phoenixoconnermoneley6093 it is, it was announced a month ago
@@samuelflorez6998 oh yeah lmao 😭 😭
Omg really!?
SHE'S THE BEST
It’s amazing how when she first sings “I surrender,” the song builds up to a point just before climax. Instead of entering this climax, the song drops off instead. It almost represents how powerless she is - she wants to release her emotions and say what she thinks about the ongoing relationship, which appears to be souring, but she can’t. In her own words, “there’s nothing [she] can do. Not much [she] can change.” This drop-off of the song is almost unsatisfactory as it leaves us wanting her to do more, but both lyrically and physically, she is powerless to do so. This is what makes the song so relatable as I’m sure many of us have been in relationships where we feel trapped.
ouuuuu my mind was questioning about the beat drop there but this makes a lot of sense, matter of fact, this left me satisfied with the drop 💀
The abrupt ending amplifies this more.
thank you so much for sharing this.
thats amazing way to think
best analysis ever
i feel like this song has so much more.. tiredness in it? compared to songs like first love/late spring or francis forever, it seems there's very little climax in this one. it really drives home the feelings of exhaustion and surrender for me, absolute banger of a song i can't believe you've done it again mitski holy shit
i love this thought
OK now thats too far first love late spring will always be the best song of all time
@@cyb3rnav20 they didn’t say one was better than the other lmao just said this one has different energy
@@cyb3rnav20 they didn’t mean that, still first love/late spring is one of the best mitski songs tho
@@G_fr4n_ yess
The fact that mitski can warm out our hearts with her music
THIS MADE MY DAY EVEN BETTER THAN IT IS BEFOOOROEEEE
Jelly!
F*uuuuuuuck. I read this and feel that warm feelin in my chest
this melody is so nostalgic. like when everything was all fun. when everything never really matters. listening to this until i decide when to sleep
Fr 😭
MITSKI MITSKI I CANT WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT MASTERPIECE
Perfecto
czcams.com/video/dRMY34UvESI/video.html
Mitski is our queen
ME TOO
When/if she drops a new album I will die of happiness
YES
This is such a beautiful song
it really, really is. it’s so calming and yet it makes me want to cry.
the lyrics being ' there's nothing i can do' 'not much i can change' i really needed it rn, despite lying to myself over and over that i can make it right, once, just once to accept defeat,let the words out 'i surrender' feels like such a big relief.. thanks a lot mitski for this lovely song
Yesterday I surrendered and had a mental breakdown. It was awful, yet so freeing. I am trying hard everyday. Struggling forever. So just for once being weak and accept that I am weak, felt assuring. Like I am finally allowed to be myself crying and screaming.
Yet it backfired cause my boyfriend was hurt much, when he eventually heard me. And because of the stress build I am having headaches and hurting eyes and neck for 4 days now. Urgh
cant believe mitski was the influence that created existence. amazing.
😭
one of my fav mitski quotes has GOT to be when she said "Let there be light" shes such an icon
girl you have done it again. constantly raising the bar, and doing it flawlessly
I SWEAR TO GOD WHENEVER I HEARD MITSKI I GET GOOSEBUMPS ITS LIKE SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING I FEEL SHE CREATD HUMANS CONFORMED
ME TOO I STARTED HYPERVENTILATIMH WHEN I SAW THIS😭😭
She is a god yk
For me, this song is like the nights I spent awake with anxiety unable to fall asleep. It’s an odd feeling that this song captures well. Being so worried about something that your mind cannot turn off and begins to wander and rakes you over the coals for all of your other past mistakes.
The heat lightening in the background is for me, a metaphor for something powerful that can’t hurt you because it is so far away, but could if it was closer.
And for Mitski, she believes the (metaphorical) storm is coming closer.
At last, when her mind is finally worn and tired at 4 AM, she consigns herself by saying that she surrenders and there is not much she can do or say to change her past or even to convince her own self that she could have done anything differently. She stops the fight and gives up the only control she believes she has in this situation by saying she surrenders. As she says it, she is consumed with a feeling of relief that her worries are being passed onto some greater power as her mind relaxes into sleep in order for her to worry about it another
day.
The verse when she is on her doorstep perhaps gives the listener a clue that these kinds of nights happen regularly and at different times. She sees “heat lightening” not only from her bed, but from her doorstep, telling us that this problem or regret appears/appeared to her often in this period of time.
This is a brilliant song because it feels like an evolution and a refinement of her previous work. She is evoking the powerful and strange natural phenomenon of heat lightening to catalogue the feeling of a night when she felt so hopeless and torn by her previous mistakes or regrets and worries about the consequences.
this comment is underrated
Ily
Hope you are doing okay ❤️
For someone who suffers from PTSD, this hits right home. That helplessness and vulnerability that’s always there and I can do nothing about, Mitski struck it at dead center. I have never cried harder.
There’s this lingering hopelessness in having the condition, in the recovery and progress, of barely changing a thing; and although it can be interpreted differently, for me, the line “I give it up to you, I hope it’s okay/would that be okay, I surrender” goes especially for my emotional support person. The power and impact of acknowledging you can rely on others for help― that you never have to suffer alone, and that you are not the burden that your mind tells you― is a revolutionary turn. There are things survivors cannot ease up by themselves, and not that the ease comes dependently on others, but sometimes they are a lifeline― and they make the unbearable worthy to bear. They shelter when our heat lightning strikes.
Iʼm sorry for whatever caused it :(
Same I feel you man
I have ptsd also and I totally understand what you mean 💜
I can't believe they made emotions a real thing after Mitski sung about them 😍
You cant believe?well i can
we all know this upcoming album is going to be her best yet
THE ALBUM WILL BE ON MY BIRTHDAY
im sorry but literally all of her other albums sound better than the songs released so far from Laurel Hell😭
@@fukkatwigs6897 her other albums are also 10/10, she’s just taking a new approach as an artist.
@@an4y33 lucky😭😭 that would be suuuch a good birthday gift
@@fukkatwigs6897 yeah 🙁 the songs are still good but just not my taste idk?!!! but shes trying smthg new which is cool 😜
right when we need her most
everybody say THANK YOU MITSKI
THANK YOU MITSKI

THANK YOU MITSKI 🙏🙏
need her most for what? to cry? 😭😭
THANK YOU MITSKIIIII
This song reminds me a lot of the lyric in 'Happy': "and I sighed and mumbled to myself, again I have to clean". It's the quiet and unceremonious return of mental illness, and all Mitski can do is lie there and know it's coming. The "Can I give it up to you... I surrender" is gorgeous and romantically tragic; realistically she knows she can't be fixed by someone else, but for a split second, in a song, it can be a solution.
This is the best song on Laurel Hell, I don't care what anyone says. I'd say it's even one of her best songs in general but there's just too much competition 😭 either way I love this song sooo much, it reminds me of Venus in Furs by The Velvet Underground too
Well, if that's true, I'm gonna listen to it. No me la perdería
love the comparison!!!
I agree!!!
YES IT REMINDS ME OF THAT SONG TOO.. but i couldnt find any sample clues so she probably made the same rhytm by herself?? Idk both songs are beautiful. But im obsessed with this song
I agree 100%
THIS.. THIS IS SO RELEVANT ILY. we’re all so depressed and trapped rn and we’ve all destroyed our sleep schedules thinking about how pitiable we are and we’ve got no one to go to except that one thing that we put all our faith in. regardless on what that might be, they are our comfort and our driving force to keep on breathing. i love this one, mitski ily :((
Mitski mejorando los últimos meses del año con:
Working for the knife = octubre
The only heartbreaker = noviembre
Heat lightning = diciembre
Gracias mitski tqm

Mitski’s songs literally give me life and sadness at the same time
fr 😭
this song is about her anxiety. ‘heat lightning’ is silent, so she can see her stressful future coming toward her, and she knows she’ll be in the thunderstorm soon but theres nothing she can do about it so she surrenders
I’m in forced anorexia recovery, this song hits hard. I can’t change the treatment and I can’t go back to my Ed. It’s a bittersweet feeling but there’s nothing I can do change it after all I ended up here due to my own actions. This song reminds me of when I stopped fighting the treatment and became resigned. Mitski really getting me through it.
i pray you find peace, health and happiness and that you get to a point of living your life in full, sooner than later. much love
i hope you’re doing well 💕
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I'M NOT READY FOR THIS, MITSKI I LOVE YOU
SAME
Literally, Mitskis always there when i need her and her songs the most, i can tell this is gonna be another one of her many masterpieces.
mitski's songs seem to have saved my life, because every time I listen to her music, I feel more relaxed, out of the pressures of work and life. Thank you so much mitski, please keep trying!!
SHE'S THE BEST!!!!!
i love how the piano in this song has a japanese-esque vibe to it, esp when combined with the visuals of this vid, the mountains rising up from the water. this is probably my favorite from her new album so far
every single mitski song is like a life-changing movie that only exists in your memories
agradezco que a mis padres les halla fallado en anticonceptivo porque si no estaría escuchando las tremendas obras de arte que saca MITSKI
JAJSJAJSJAJ same
JAJAJAJAJSJAJAJ
JAJAJJAJDMAHHRJSSH YO
yo literal
TE JURO QUE YO
I know you'll never see this but you're music has spoken to me with every single song and the lyrics and the visuals with this song as so simply yet so so powerful thank you for being you Mitski and sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences with us I'll forever be grateful
she’s back again, when we needed her the most
И вот Митски выпустила ещё один шедевр, спасающий меня от депрессии. Мелодия невероятно умиротворяющая, а строки настолько поэтичны, что попадают в моё сердце напрямую... Спасибо вам, Митски, за вашу музыку.
yes right!!!
да!! ❤️
I was up late last night with anxiety and depression, and this song resonated with me so much. You just get so over whelmed with life and failures and confusions on what to do next. You just feel helpless, hopeless and lost, but most of all tired. Tired of trying to be hopeful. This song to me is like someone giving up on trying (at least temporarily) and just letting what happens happen, until they can rebuild the strength to hope and try again, and finally figure out what they can do and what they want to do.
I don't know what I can do to change this, so can I just not think about this at least for the night? Can I just give you all my worry and pain for the time being and surrender to whatever comes? Just to feel some relief from the burden of caring.
This song gives me a lot of peace, I feel safe with it
Mitski strikes into our hearts again, literally.
I JUST SQUIRTED SO MUCH OH MY GOOODDDD THIS SONG
I think my interpretation may be less popular. But this year in particular my life has been so out of control, and no matter what I’ve been doing I haven’t been able to change my life of others around me and so I’ve leaned into my faith. The chorus really resonates with me, especially after feeling so mentally and emotionally exhausted I looked to God for relief. “Nothing I can do, not much I can change. I give it up to you, would that be okay?” Speaking to God looking for peace “I surrender”
What a perfect capture of grief - there are so many songs that let you feel the "anger” or the “depression” of the 5 Stages of Grief, but this song so well embodies the catharsis of Acceptance. Thank you for being so many’s voice for unspeakable things, Mitski :)
I can’t believe mitski invented music, thanks mitski
TE AMO MITSKI, tu canción es lo mejor de este diciembre.
I'm looking forward to Mitski's new masterpiece and I know I won't be disappointed
But get ready to cry
Edit: I feel like Mitski writes songs from her own experiences/ thoughts which make them much more realistic and relatable
FR
This reminds me of something like a gospel song. The line “I surrender” specifically
i really feel that this song should be noticed by more peoplee,it's got this particular climax of being exhausted and can't do anything anymore,being disperated but tired.I love it
everyone thank mitski for being the most important person ever
The fact that Mitski created singing is incredible, thank you Mitski
there's something about her songs that just takes you someplace else... not even one minute in and i had tears in my eyes
Sounds like a Mitski gospel song. I worship her, so.
The piano at 1:11 and the rest of the song is just perfection. Love it
mitski is everything, mitski is the light, she is the world
this is mitskis way of saving us from exam stress she's so thoughtful 🥰
OMGGGG I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER BANGER 😭😭😭
i remember the september nights two years ago when i would lay in bed all night listening to francis forever and the rest of the bury me at makeout creek album on repeat. my life has changed a lot since then, yet everything is still the same somewhere deep down. i guess i have a new song now to listen to on repeat, and in two years i’ll think back with the same nostalgic feeling. i am truly thankful for mitski, she made my desires burn and dreams run wild at 3am, something worth staying awake for
I love how basically all of mitski's songs have an easy to see point of the hypothetical singer singing to a hypothetical lover or love interest about how their relationship isn't working, usually in the form of the singer being in pain or inducing pain onto themselves only so the other person can have the high ground. Yet, despite all of this, every single song can be interpreted so extremely differently by each person that hears it, molding to their experiences and emotions so seamlessly it's almost like actual magic. I'm so genuinely impressed by how stunningly exact and yet loosely defined the lyrics of each and every song can be.
"Heat Lightning" Lyrics
Heat lightning
Reaching outside the window
I've laid awake since o'clock
Though I've held on
Can't carry it much longer
On the ceiling dancing
Things all come and go
And there's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
So I give it up to you
I hope that's okay
There's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
Heat lightning
Watch it from my doorstep
Of the sky
In a dream
Well I've held on
But feel a storm approaching
And swaying in the wind
And there's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
So I give it up to you
I hope that's okay
There's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
woah the surrender topic reminds me of bag of bones when she begs for mercy in the song
que
so
Thats not even right
SORRY I FOUND THIS ON WEB HAHAHA
“I surrender” damn that hurt
I have been listening this on loop since release, and wow, does it kick A Pearl off my top favorite Mitski song.
She never misses.
the way the furniture and the candle float around above the chessboard symbolizing the chaos and how the ocean washes over it and nature just goes on, not able to be caged into a limited space, just beautiful both the song and the extremely cool video
Listening to this song gives me these surreal, dreamlike vibes. If I close my eyes it almost feels like I’m lying awake at 4am in the morning and the air is all warm and humid like there’s a huge thunderstorm coming. This might sound dumb but the song really just conveys this strange feeling so well.
mitski has such a pretty voice, i can't wait to listen to the new album in full to be blessed.
THANK YOU MITSKI, OUR BELOVED 😫😩❤
I’m staying up until 6am to hear this song the moment it comes out 😈‼️
ALWAYS GOTTA START MY DAY OFF WITH HER 😈😈😈🤣🤣⁉️⁉️
Lyrics
Heat lightning running outside the window
I’ve laid awake since 1:00 and now it’s 4 o’clock
Though I’ve held on, can’t carry it much longer
On the ceiling dancing are the things all come and gone
And there’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
So I give it up to you, I hope that’s okay
There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
I give it up to you, I surrender
[Verse 2]
Heat lightning, watch it from my doorstep
Sleeping eyelid of the sky flutters in a dream
Well, I’ve held on, but feel a storm approaching
Trees are swaying in the wind like sea anemones
[Chorus]
And there’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
Can I give it up to you? Would that be okay?
There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
I give it up to you, I surrender
There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
I give it up to you, I surrender
why are some of Mitski’s best songs underrated
NO ENTENDÍ CASI NADA, PERO ME ALEGRO EL DÍA Q CADA VEZ VAYAS VOLVIENDO MÁS, GRACIAS POR TODO DE VERDAD
Xd yo iwal no entendi pero *cry*
exactoo :3
God bless Mitski, this is a masterpiece
AAH TE QUEREMOS MITSKI
I can't believe Mitski created not only music but the whole universe. I love her and her music sm it comforts me a lot
wow... mitski, this is so real, feeling like a floater, helpless, dissociating... and the giving up of everything, it feels like a call to God, honestly. here you go, God, here's my nothing, if that's okay. i surrender. i can't do anything with it. i'll melt into your world. i feel so much. so much nothing. i'm nothing without you. take it all, all my nothing.
I feel the same way about this song
Can’t wait!! This is gonna be my motivation for the day honestly
THANK YOU MITSKI FOR ARRIVING IN MY TIME OF NEED. THE TIMING IS IMMACULATE I MUST SAY
Mitski: He-
Her fanbase: UWAAAUWAAAWAAAAAA WOOO GOGOGOGOWOOOOOOWERE SO PROUDWOOO GO GIVE US EVERYTHINGWOOOOOOO
I’ll listening to her for the rest of my life.
this is my new favourite thing, mitski is just... one of the greatest poets of our time, a fucking generational beacon representing our struggle with this broken, alien world where we never seem to really fit in, because it wasn't made for us
I'm ever so grateful to her for giving us her music, it really means a lot to me
I'm gonna be crying in class tomorrow when this comes out
I LOVE YOU MITSKI I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS
I swear to God,
We all going to die after this SONG💀
This one and Pearl Diver are beyond magical.
This is the crowning achievement of Laurel Hell argue with the lightning.
I'M SO EXITED. THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER SCHOOL 😩
YALL OMYGOD
GRACIAS MITSKI ERES LO MEJOR
pd: Justo estaba en semanas sentimentales para mí pero justo viniste y me curaste 😭😭
Después viene la traducción de la canción y nos hace mierda a todos
Pero, se le quiere
YO IGUAL
I interpret this as giving up in the moment and hoping that my future self will handle the fall out.
Like when you're in such a bad situation/mental space that all you can do right now is sit in it because there's 'nothing [you] can do, not much [you] can change' so you 'surrender' everything to your future self.
I really needed to hear this. I've been watching my father die of heart failure slowly and painfully. So thank you mitski for writing this beautiful song that resonated with my grief.
i swear she always comes back at the perfect time of the month right when I need her
Mitski really put her whole bussy crack into these songs and I love her for that. It's amazing 😭!!

And there's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
So, I give it up to you
I hope that's okay
There's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
Heat lightning
Watch it from my doorstep
Sleeping eyelid in the sky
Flutters in a dream
Well I've held on
But feel a storm approaching
Trees are swaying in the wind like sea anemones
And there's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
Can I give it up to you?
Would that be okay?
There's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
There's nothing I can do
Not much I can change
I give it up to you
I surrender
i-
on a LYRIC VIDEO too 😭
i’ve had mild to severe insomnia for the past five years and I love this song so much.
“And there's nothing I can do, not much I can change
So I give it up to you. I hope that's okay”
this lyrics resonate with me in some deep level, i lost my sibling and grandpa in less than a year. grieving can be tiring and there's nothing i can do nor change in order for them to come back so i wanted to give up on grieving, instead i will continue loving them even though they're not here anymore because love is a powerful and everlasting thing.
this song makes me melancholy and hopeful at the same time. mitski never fails to make great music.
I'm very excited for this new masterpiece, ilysm mitski
A música estava lá. Mitski a esculpiu e a transformou em arte
"make sure to thank God for all the blessings you receive in life."
"yeah, i'll listen to her discography later."
Her music always comes out at the right time for me. How much I needed these lyrics
my fav song of the album
