i remember seeing people on tumblr refer to mitski and her music as "cottagecore" and "feral," and now i realize that to dilute her to some aesthetic is borderline criminal

i know she has a few hits, but she's still slept on :(

I'm beautiful, I know cause it's the season But what am I to do with all this beauty? Biology, I am an organism, I'm chemical That's all, that is all I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too And feel my skin is plump and full of life I'm in my prime I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe About to fall, capture me Or at least take my picture Kuzurete yuku maeni I'm pulsing, my blood is red and unafraid of living Beginning to end I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too And feel my skin is plump and full of life I'm in my prime I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe About to fall How I feel this river rushing through my veins With nowhere else to go, it circles 'round I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too And feel my skin is plump and full of life I'm in my prime I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe About to fall, capture me

This song makes me have butterflies in my stomach during the "How i feel this river rushing trought my VEINS with nowhere else to it circles round. I'M LIQUID SMOOTH"

therapy: expensive and long Listening to mitski on repeat: free and easy

Not sure why ppl think this song is explicitly about sex. In fact, when I first heard it I thought it was about realizing youth and beauty are a privilege and desiring for others to recognize it in you before it fades (“capture me.. or at least take my picture”—enjoy how young and beautiful I am in this moment ; “I’m liquid smooth, come touch me too... my skin is plump and full of life, my blood is red and unafraid of living, I’m in my prime ”—all references to how beautiful and fearless we are, almost by default, in our youth) The beginning of the song referencing how we’re just chemicals, organisms, biology and asking what are we to do with so much beauty. Asking for someone to capture it because it won’t be around forever (“at my highest peak, about to fall” and the part in Japanese relating to crumbing and falling apart) (Yes, of course sex could be a part of this but I’ve always heard this with the tone that suggests fleeting youth and being afraid of wasting it or having it go to waste, rather, and for that reason, I’ve never heard this as a sexual song... but a sad, even, scary one)🌹🥀

As a male SA victim I can say this hits hard.

this hits so much harder when you've been sexually assaulted and you feel like you need to sexualize yourself to feel anything or get any praise for anything

"Liquid Smooth" I'm beautiful, I know 'cause it's the season But what am I to do with all this beauty Biology- I am an organism I'm chemical, that's all that is all I'm liquid smooth Come touch me too And feel my skin is plump and full of life I'm in my prime I'm liquid smooth Come touch me, too I'm at my highest peak I'm ripe, about to fall Capture me Or at least take my picture Kuzurete yuku maeni * I'm pulsing My blood is red and unafraid of living Beginning to end I'm liquid smooth Come touch me too, And feel my skin is plump and full of life I'm in my prime I'm liquid smooth Come touch me, too I'm at my highest peak I'm ripe, about to fall How I feel this river rushing through my veins With nowhere else to go It circles round I'm liquid smooth Come touch me too, And feel my skin is plump and full of life I'm in my prime I'm liquid smooth Come touch me, too I'm at my highest peak I'm ripe, about to fall Capture me *it's in japanese, it means something like "before I collapse/crumble/fall apart"

This hits different when your a WOC you are always between being hypersexualized, fetishized or ostracized and unwanted

the craziest part about this entire album is that she made it when she was 20 in her college dorm for one of her classes. she delivers such a beautiful vocal performance in this song

As someone who is on the ace spectrum, but who also experiences hypersexual episodes, I’ve found a strange sense of comfort in this song. It just strikes a cord with me that not many songs have been able to. It’s so beautiful yet so deep at the same time. It perfectly captures how it feels to be almost totally repulsed by sex but also be obsessed with the thought of it endlessly, at least for me. Mitski is a goddess, all of her songs are bangers but this is one of the few that hit me where it hurts

This song makes me wanna die before I turn thirty

i feel like this song is about everyone telling women 16 to 23 that they are at their prime and should live life then and find a man and settle down before they fall and get unattractive. so i feel like this is a woman not knowing what to do with her ending prime time and getting desparate.

Ik a lot of people interpret this song to be about over sexualization, but personally I think it's about being so desperately affection starved/feeling like you are wasting your youth by not being "loved". Especially "or at least take my picture" (at least love me for a bit) and "beginning to end" (she is at the peak of her youth, or at least she thinks she is, and she will soon become older, and in her perspective -undesirable.)

2:02 gosh, I absolutely adore this part

Lush is such an underrated album smh my head

A HIDDEN GEM. THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL
