#mitski oh mitski

[flowerquib]

All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted

Apologies from the intercom

And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy

They'll think of me kindly

When they come for my things

The title "Crack Baby' (+ it being repeated multiple times in the song) is a metaphor for the feeling of longing for something-a happiness you used to know and can't quite figure out how you used to have, or a wholeness you used to feel that you don't feel anymore, and not knowing how to get it back-relating to the way crack babies live life having withdrawal symptoms despite not even knowing what it is that their own bodies are longing for, and also comparing happiness to an addictive drug.

Mitski explains that in general, the Puberty 2 album is about chasing happiness and how you can't have happiness or sadness without the inevitable presence of the other.

Down empty streets sniffing glue, me and you

The same way sniffing glue gives you a small high, you sometimes chase highs and "happiness" in the smallest most desperate ways you can in order to feel the unexplainable void in your emotions.

Blank open eyes watch the moon flower bloom

Moon flowers only blossom at night. Night has a tendency to make things quiet-make it hard to distract yourself from the creeping feeling of emptiness and desperation inside of you. So your best option is to dissociate and focus on something your brain can perceive as positive or beautiful, whether that's a show or activity or even by romanticizing your own sadness and to convince yourself that there's something worthwhile in it

It's been a long, hard 20 year summer vacation

Both these 20 years tryna fill the void

She refers to how often when you're on a long vacation, you feel a bit lost because you don't have anything to work towards or focus your energy on out of necessity

Crack baby, you don't know what you want

But you know that you had it once, and you know that you want it back

Crack baby, you don't know what you want

But you know that you're needing it, and you know that you need it bad

You don't know exactly what it is you're longing for, or what would fill that emptiness, but you know it's something you once had and you know you won't survive unless it comes back to you.

Wild horses running through your hollow bones

"Wild horses" refers to that desire-that even deep down inside what you feel like is an empty shell of yourself, the desire to escape that emptiness runs aimlessly through you in search of something to fill it.

Went to your room thinking maybe you'll feel something

But all I saw was your burning body waiting

All these 20 years on a vacation

Going "to your room" probably refers to resorting to unhealthy coping behaviors in an attempt to fill the void, your "burning body" referring to the aftermath and consequences of resorting to these unhealthy behaviors.

Crack baby, you don't know what you want

But you know that you had it once, and you know that you want it back

Crack baby, you don't know what you want

But you know that you're needing it, and you know that you need it bad

Crack baby, you don't know what you want

But you know that you want it

Yeah you know that you want it, you know that you-

Crack baby, you don't know what you want

But you know that you need it, and you know that you need it bad

With wild horses running through your hollow bones

Wild horses running through your hollow bones

Wild horses running through your hollow bones

Wild horses running through your hollow bones

Flowey’s so funny and has me so fucked up like he’s a talking flower. He tries to kill you upon your first interaction. He is ten years old. He is damaged beyond repair. He’s a flower named Flowey. He’s become friends with every single character. He’s killed all of them countless times. He knows everything about everyone. He doesn’t care anymore. He takes care of his mom when she can’t take care of herself. He’s killed her before. He doesn’t care if you kill her. He thinks she’s trying to replace him. He just wants to be himself again. He wants to destroy everything. He hates you. You’re the only one who understands him. He wants his best friend back. He’s terrified of them. He believes in kill or be killed because he died by giving mercy to the wrong person. He believes himself to be the wrong person. He doesn’t understand when you show him that kindness he showed others, even when you know he could kill you for it. He’s tried every route. He asks you if you have anything better to do when you try to do the same. He’s a direct reflection of the player. He’s a fucking talking flower named flowey and his only voice line is by Ronald McDonald and his officially licensed plush does a little dance for you

“cats won’t recognize or understand the feeling of forehead kisses and might even be resistant to it at first but once they know it’s a sign of affection, they may start offering their forehead or light bump their head against you for more.”

“what are you doing?” you watched him tilt his head down in your direction, revealing his forehead to you, barely even a second after he returned home.

“huh?” he said as if completely unaware of what he was doing. despite that, he only leaned closer and looked up at you with expecting eyes. “i don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“then why are you doing that?”

“oh.” he quickly straightened himself up only for you to cup his head and pull it back down so you could plant a quick smooch on his forehead.

you chuckled at his flustered reaction, his widened eyes and red tinted cheeks. “yeah, i knew you liked that all along,” you said with some smugness and were about to walk away until you felt a hand grab onto your wrist.

“wait, give me another. i didn’t get to fully enjoy it.”
