Phoebe Bridgers - Motion Sickness (Official Video)

it's been said that Phoebe Bridgers is Taylor Swift for women with crumbs in their bed and I will never forget that

“i hate you for what you did, and i miss you like a little kid” the most devastating opening line ever.

If you've suffered abuse, be it physical or mental, by a person you thought was someone you could trust, this song speaks to you on such a raw level.

I know most people relate to this song with reference to an external abuser or physical/mental/emotional trauma they received from a relationship, but this song makes me think about my own relationship with myself. I hate what my past self has done to present self, but I miss my past self so much. My mind's always noisy and there's no words to drown it out. I'm sorry to myself, how I've made me this way. I tear up everytime I hear this song.

"I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid" Perfectly sums up the combination of heartbreak and betrayal

I WAS HER LYFT DRIVER WHEN PERFORMED IN OAKLAND, NOVEMBER 2018 She loves punk rock and she's amazing. She put me in the list to get in the concert and I did went and indeed they let me in just with my name.

I’m a 55 year old man whose favorite bands are Pink Floyd and REM ( I know…), and I simply love these young people. Amazing songwriting and singing. My wife and I are going to see them play this Halloween at the Hollywood Bowl, and I simply can’t wait. Bravo y’all, bravo!!

it's stunning to think about the fact she invented motion sickness just for this song, go queen

"I faked it every time, but that's alright; I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all." phoeBE!!!

I love how she puts safety first and wears a helmet. Positive role model.

How does every lyric hit so hard? 😭 Pheobe deserves more recognition.

Lyrics: I hate you for what you did And I miss you like a little kid I faked it every time, but that's alright I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all You gave me fifteen hundred to see your hypnotherapist I only went one time, you let it slide Fell on hard times a year ago Was hoping you would let it go and you did I have emotional motion sickness Somebody roll the windows down There are no words in the English language I could scream to drown you out I'm on the outside lookin' through You're throwin' rocks around your room And while you're bleeding on your back in the glass I'll be glad that I made it out And sorry that it all went down like it did I have emotional motion sickness Somebody roll the windows down There are no words in the English language I could scream to drown you out Hey, why do you sing with an English accent? I guess it's too late to change it now You know I'm never gonna let you have it But I will try to drown you out You said when you met me you were bored You said when you met me you were bored And you, you were in a band when I was born I have emotional motion sickness I try to stay clean and live without And I want to know what would happen If I surrender to the sound Surrender to the sound

"there are no words in the english language, i could scream to drown you out." this line reminds me of my mom, it's like there's nothing i could say to her that would get through to her. there's nothing i could possibly say to make her stop being the way she is. it's a heartbreaking line honestly.

Those first lines, "I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid" made me burst into tears the first time I heard them because it finally put into words my complex feelings toward my abuser. Over 70% of assaults against women are committed by a known person. So while one might think it makes sense for a women to hate their abuser and have no positive feelings attached to them, that's rarely the case. A lot of women feel guilt over that because you should hate the person who hurt you, right? But what if that person was your support system, made happy memories with you, etc? It's incredibly confusing and upsetting.. What I'm trying to say is, thank you Phoebe Bridgers for giving women like us a voice.

So many feelings in this song. Yes, she’s condemning him, but she’s also openly admitting to maybe somewhat missing him, thanking him for what little support he did give “you gave me $1500/I was hoping you would let it slide, you did’. She also looks back at his anger “throwing rocks around your room’ and hoping the scars don’t make her possibly relapse “trying to stay clean and live without’. All in all, it’s an incredibly mature set of lyrics for such a young artist. I walked away from this song feeling many things…most of it her heartbreak and relief he is gone. A seminal song. This one will stick with me for life.

“i hate you for what you did, and i miss you like a little kid” this line hits different when i apply this song to my own life and relationship with my parents. it’s like, i know that some of the things they did wasn’t right and i want to hate them for that so bad, but at the same time there’s a part of me that knows that i came never hate them because they’re my parents after all. and yeah, it wasn’t really anything physical (mainly emotional/mental), and they went through stuff like that at the hands of their own parents when they were children, but i was a child too. it’s just such a frustrating feeling.

Can't believe Phoebe literally invented scooters. What a queen.

One of the most devastating opening lines ever

Imagine just strolling downtown, maybe sipping a coffee on your way to meet with some friends, when you see this absolute queen scootering across the street with all the confidence of a goddess. Inspiring.

The first few lines, "I hate you for what you did, and i miss you like a little kid," always make me break down because it describes my feelings towards my cousin. He m0lested me when I was younger it never set in during the moment that what he was doing was wrong because when people would talk about being sexually abused or assaulted it was so much worse so I had always played it down even though it always ate away at me. He did it twice, both times being near and around family, and I never told them after it had happened, I told my mom months later. I was only like seven and i missed him and when we would play but i never felt comfortable or safe around him and I still don't. I'm 15 now and all i want is to hear him apologize and say he's sorry, even if it doesn't change my feelings or attitude towards him, i just want to hear him admit what he did. I just wanted to get that off my chest.
