I Bet on Losing Dogs - Mitski (lyrics)

Hopefully I can get in some more videos in the next month or two, but we'll see.

I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski from the album Puberty 2 (2016).

[Blookibloo]

the baby part hits too hard. tell your “baby” that I’m your baby. you always chose the men over me mom.

[dummy]

this song is so good makes me wanna die tho

[vee]

my interpretation of this song:

you have a bad habit of constantly falling into the same cycle of destruction. no matter how hard you try to stray from it, you know it’s your inevitable path. and while you walk down this path, you are all alone due to this cycle of isolating yourself. you want someone to bet on you, to stay by your side while you make the same mistakes over and over again. you are the losing dog, and you need someone to bet on you.

[thebestjunkdrawer]

She has such a beautiful voice I can’t comprehend

[mothysjar]

nice! *dissolves into a pile of liquid*

[ilovecats]

"I always want you when I'm finally fine" DAMN THAT HURT

[spookithegoblin]

oh so we ALL have a savior complex and a family that never outright mistreated us but did fail to meet our needs so regularly that we feel alone

[felixx]

Part of me wants to cry into my mom's chest one last time. I almost want just one last loving memory but the thought of her even touching me is repulsive. I feel physically ill around her.

[greywater]

the way this is a song about self sabotage and only being able to watch your life fall apart infront of your eyes and it’s all because of you, the hopelessness that comes with it feeling like a rabid scared dog in a ring trying to claw to get out, you are watching yourself fail that is it.

[alilelie]

im just gonna... pretend my mother is saying the first bit to me over and over again

[alejandracondo]

hey guys just wanna say we have great music taste, but this is screaming for help at this point 😀

[PixelKidzz]

Idk why I thought it was a good idea to try out Mitski while on my period, but here I am, uncontrollably sobbing my guts out

[Wreckit]

You know the feeling you wanna cry but the tears never fall, yeah. :(

[BARK]

I lost my doggo and this song gives me the need to hug any and all dogs in need of a hug. I'm sorry to hear about everyone's parents. My hugs are for any human that needs one too

[Lucky-Lucky]

I don’t wanna grow up I just wanna crawl into my parents arms and stay there

[spvrkly_]

my mom just told me that she would choose my dad over my brother and i on a heartbeat

the "tell your "baby" that i'm your baby" line hits so much harder now

[goldenlily]

The song is about failed relationships, but I can't help but think of all the projects I've started but never finished, and also if larger goals in my life are going to be worth the effort, like continue the degree I'm pursuing or choosing something else. A melancholic feeling.

[lunarrose]

I actually cannot physically listen to this song without sobbing.

[nat]

this song makes me wanna crawl into my mother’s arms, and stay there for a little while, and feeling her chest rise against my head; i want what i can’t have...

[silliestlady]

2:10 have I seriously been crying so hard during this song that I've never noticed until now
