Mitski - Washing Machine Heart (Lyric Video)

Lyric video I made for the song "Washing Machine Heart" by Mitski. Taken from her latest album, "Be the Cowboy".

Enjoy!

me hugging my pillow:
the pillow: *”i know who you pretend i am.”*

[Browhatbro]

When she says “I know who you pretend I am” that hits me so hard for no reason

[mek-nn]

"When your happy you enjoy the music"
"When your sad you understand the lyrics"

[wmmapfan]

Angry divorced moms:
Daughters that look like their father: I know who I pretend I am

[cadieblanchard]

when the "do mi ti" is actually Do Mi Ti!!! also the notes on the piano are actually the correct notes!!!!

Love the way everyone here is just depressed and is just comforting each other, a normal sane person would probably think we are crazy

[yepisuredolikecats]

“why not me” keeps reverberating in my skull as i walk across campus and see couples holding hands.

[stvssrie]

its always the 2/3 years song that bop💀

This is just my bad analysis of the video ig:
The woman comes from an abusive home and gets into a toxic relationship. Her eyes are completely filled with dark numbness because she sees this type of love as a norm to her. She has no mouth to talk back to her partner or properly defend herself because she never learned how. So she dances how her partner wants and pleases him/her while still feeling miserable for always being compared, (never being good enough for her partner 'I know who you pretend I am', 'why not me').
The end screen of the washing machine's tempo getting quicker anf then breaking is her mental health crumbling down from all that stress and misery that's been eating her inside all of this time.

I’m so mad because I loved this song but it happened to be playing when raw sewage erupted from my hotel bathroom and I can’t think about anything else.

Why do the good people always get bullied and body shamed and have fake friends? OMG 2K 2K

[spicyroaches]

WHY DID SHE MAKE THIS SONG SO SHORT IM GONNA CRY

[auroraalampi]

it’s MY mental breakdown and I choose the music

[halloweenfox]

“Why not me?”
When I see my “best” friend hang out with my other friends without me
When I see my parents pay attention to my sibling but not me
When my crush likes my best friend not me
(I’m not trying to act selfish here I’m just venting about situations that would make me and possibly others feel like this)

[Taylor.renata]

Can’t believe this is fan animated....this is incredible holy fuck. Such talent.

[ghostown]

WOW the references to other songs and the pearl and

[brain_rt]

*”Why not me?”*

*This is the only sentence I can hear while I watch as my younger sisters get the parents I wanted*

*My dad got clean for one of my sisters, while he chose drugs and alcohol over me*

*My mom takes pictures and keeps them in a “baby book” for my other sister, while she threw all my pictures away whenever she was given them*

*They both left me, but they were capable of changing for them, why not me? Why couldn’t they change for me? Was I not worth it? I was their daughter first, why didn’t they love me?*


*WHY*
*NOT*
*ME?*





*Im sorry for trauma dumping, I’ll leave now*



*Edit: Thank you all for the kind comments! I actually live with my grandparents, I only ever get to see my biological parents a few times every four months. I don’t live with them and I never have. Thank you all for being concerned 💗*

“why not me?” always hits me, no matter how good you are at something someone will always be better than you.

Maybe I'm projecting, but that first verse makes me think of an abusive friendship/relationship where you just take all the other person's trash and try to help them, but they just keep on getting them dirty, so literally rinse and repeat. And they "love" you but they really don't, and you know that, but you stick around thinking maybe, just maybe, one day they'll really love you like you love them.
Yeah, this is just projecting.
I'm still asking "why not me?"
