Liquid Smooth Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm beautiful, I know 'cause it's the season
But what am I to do with all this beauty?
Biology, I am an organism, I'm chemical
That's all, that is all

[Chorus]
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
And feel my skin is plump and full of life, I'm in my prime
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe about to fall, capture me

[Verse 2]
Or at least take my picture
崩れてゆく前に
I'm pulsing, my blood is red and unafraid of living
Beginning to end

[Chorus]
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
And feel my skin is plump and full of life, I'm in my prime
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe about to fall

[Bridge]
How I feel this river rushing through my veins
With nowhere else to go, it circles 'round

See Mitski Live

Get tickets as low as $8

[Chorus]
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
And feel my skin is plump and full of life, I'm in my prime
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe about to fall, capture me

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Liquid Smooth is the first song on Mitski’s 2012 album, Lush. This song talks about beauty standards for young women. Lyrics like “I’m in my prime” “I’m at my highest peak, I’m ripe” suggest that she is talking about how women in their early 20’s are seen as more desirable.

At the end of the chorus, she says that she is “about to fall.” This lyric and the general tone of the song suggest that she is worried about aging because she will no longer fit within the beauty standards.
