I see it as my first love, someone who would tell me that he loved me, but in reality, he was just using me and manipulating me. (2)Another way I look at it is through my own life and experience. I find this a common theme in Many of Mitski’s songs cough cough Class of 2013. She’s suffocating in stress and confusion, she is overwhelmed by the amount of change that is occurring. So it’s like she loves the person and wants to go back to how they used to be “walk to the top of the midnight sky” and that she thought she was mature enough “I was so young when I behave 25” but in reality, she’s not ready to move up a step. Almost like everything is happening so fast, “don’t say I love you” and むぬがはちきれそで meaning “my heart is going to burst out of my chest”. (1) I see it as someone’s first love and everything’s really over whelming. Let me know your thoughts on first love / late spring and maybe even other mitski songs!!! like, how did i get here (mostly first verse)? you want to hear those nice, calming, affirming words from your partner, but you know at this point they’re not true, they don’t love you, and you find that your sense of overall comfort and safety is in your partner’s hands, which is awful, because they’re inevitably going to crush it (chorus).

about feeling weakness in a relationship you never meant to get yourself into, and now it’s coming to an end. i took the lyrics and kind of interpreted them and twisted them to fit my situation.įor me, first love / late spring is like a breakup waiting to happen, and you don’t want to hear “i love you” from your partner because it will make the end so much harder (the chorus). It probably also depends on personal circumstances. i wanted to bring this discussion to reddit to see what you all have to say as well!! first love / late spring is a personal favorite of mine and i recently saw a tiktok about all of the different interpretations people have of this song. I’ve been thinking about how mitski wants her songs to be open for interpretation by everyone and anyone, and specifically that idea applied to the song first love / late spring.
