The black hole
Of the
Window
Where you sleep

The night breeze
Carries
Something sweet
A peach tree

Wild women don't get the blues
But I find that
Lately I've been crying like a
Tall child

So please hurry leave me
I can't breathe
Please don't say you love me
胸がはち切れそうで

One word from you and I would
Jump off of this
Ledge I'm on
Baby

Tell me "don't"
So I can
Crawl back in

And I was so young
When I behaved
Twenty five

Yet now I find
I've grown into
A tall child

And I don't wanna go home yet
Let me walk to the top of the big night sky

Please hurry leave me
I can't breathe
Please don't say you love me
胸がはち切れそうで

One word from you and I would
Jump off of this
Ledge I'm on
Baby

Tell me "don't"
So I can
Crawl back in

One word from you and I would
Jump off of this
Ledge I'm on
Baby

Tell me "don't"
So I can
Crawl back in

    this song is great because it got me into mitski and indie music overall two years ago but now, like 26 months later, it is indeed late spring and I am indeed crying over my first love like a tall child so overall quite relevant

    This song has a lot of meaning which has changed over time for me. Originally, i interpreted it as a straight up love song, about falling for someone for the first time and all of the feelings that come with it. Now, admittedly after some person heartbreak, i see it more as a song about the fear of letting yourself fall in love. while love is great and beautiful it’s also painful and taxing, especially when you first fall for someone. I think the “Late Spring” speaks to end of the initial puppy love part of a relationship and the realization that just like spring, most first loves do not last.

    My Interpretation

    So based on my experience of my first love I have given my own interpretation to this song. So when she says "Lately I've been crying like a Tall child " makes me think how emotional I was during and after the relationship ended because I was so depended on the other person .

    "So please hurry leave me I can't breathe Please don't say you love me" this part, is my favorite and I associate it with the breakup. Because I love them just a little too much and them saying I love you just not like the way you do love me , and it was hurting me more hearing I love you and it just made things harder for me.

    "And I don't wanna go home yet Let me walk to the top of the big night sky" This parts reminds me after them breaking up with me how I said I wish things were different, I don't want to move on and get over you etc, I just wanted it to last forever and I knew taking the bus and leave would be the final goodbye and I wasn't ready for that.

    The song represents for me my relationship with my mother. In general the song in my opinion represents a difficult and toxic bond without understanding between the parties and with the helplessness of one of the parties, love-hate relationship

    And I don\'t wanna go home yet \nLet me walk to the top of the big night sky\n- I think I use them as a distraction. I tend to only want them when I’m sad and need someone. \n\nPlease hurry leave me \nI can\'t breathe \nPlease don\'t say you love me \n- it pains me when they confide in me and tell me they want me. I’m hoping they leave. I don’t think they love me, pleading they don’t say it and make me feel worse.\n\nOne word from you and I would \nJump off of this \nLedge I\'m on \n- I’m on my last straw. I don’t know if I can continue being with them. I love them i think I don’t know if I do or don’t.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
