Mitski 'My Love Mine All Mine' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified

Mitski found the chorus to her latest hit “My Love Mine All Mine” during a grocery store run. “I was walking home with groceries and it was really heavy," she tells GENIUS. "I tend to make up songs in my head when I really want to dissociate from the moment. So I was singing to myself and I was like, ‘Wait a minute. This is actually good!’ Once I got home, I put the groceries down and I recorded everything."

What began as a fun song to escape the grocery store blues took on a deeper meaning as it evolved. “There was something about realizing that my love is mine,” she adds. “Nothing else is mine. Everything else, including myself, is going to deteriorate and go away. But as long as I hold onto my love, no one can take it from me…It’s just this unlimited resource.”

On today’s episode of VERIFIED, Mitski explains the meaning behind this deeply evocative track, but also expounds on love, death, and the moon’s eternal light. “My Love Mine All Mine” appears on Mitski’s newest album, “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We.”

[emiliavachon]

it’s a shame that mitski is reduced to being “sad girl music” when her art is the embodiment of loving the world simply to love. what a song

[azi_rei]

her voice sounds like a loving and caring mother singing her baby a lullaby

[ant]

Can't blame people for recognising this song only as sadness. It'd take a sensitive soul to differentiate the delicacy between deep loving with sadness. Unfortunately, not all of us get it.

[cynniebynnie]

God, Mitski’s lyricism is out of this world. The way she captures human emotion so well makes me feel so understood in such a big world where I hold little significance. I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Mitski perform live on her Laurel Hell Tour in March of 2022 and for that, I will forever be grateful. There’s no experience quite like it. The soul in not only her song and lyrics but also her dance is breathtaking. Truly a gem, that woman.

[Moonsong_]

I don't think we know how good she is at writing. A literal poetess

[TheVideoChatter]

I’m so glad I exist in the same time as Mitski and everyone who listens to her

[emxormb]

i dont know how to explain it but this song never felt sad to me, instead it feels like early morning after a nightmare or when youre in grief and youre holding the person you love in your arms and just feel so grateful for this warm loving presence in your life

[Taesbff]

This song is so comforting to me like hearing Mitski say “Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love mine all mine all mine” it’s like something in my brain clicked and suddenly I realized how sweet and powerful that thought is. Like in a world where everything feels like it comes at a price the love that I hold is the one things no one can take from me unless I choose to share it.

[Ryuma]

it's like a mother singing a lullaby. a literal angel

[starburns]

Can’t believe the same girl who wrote last words of a shooting star is now sad over the thought of having to stop living one day, proud of her

[hecatethewitch]

Her lyricism is the definition of "less is more." So simple yet so heartwrenchingly beautiful.

[Irdella]

I can’t believe Mitski invented singing 😭😭😭😭

[nfalls]

When she started singing, I started to lose it right here at work. I actually had to fake a couple of sneezes to explain my teary eyes. I didn't want my co-workers to think that I was upset about something

[devinahariprasad]

the fact that she's not referring to a person in this song but a feeling, a feeling of looking at the moon is quite amazing. What a beautiful soul with a beautiful personality. God bless.

[ahdeana]

I love that her voice is naturally raw. There is emotion embedded in her voice. She isn't like the other artists now a days. *This is music.*

[halsmovingtrailerpark]

imagine being her child and she sings to you at night

[mikorisheridan]

In my eyes, she's still underrated. She's not just a sad girl making sad songs it's so much more than that

[Melodybun]

This song means so much to me. I’ve endured so much trauma and I’m still finding myself stuck in abusive situations but this song reminds me that they can’t take away my empathy and all the love it give. I love caring for others and I love making people feel loved. No one can take that from me.

[Abril-]

She’s talking about her ability to love, not an external object of love
