Mitski – Me And My Husband lyrics

Mitski – Me And My Husband lyrics

I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute
And then I'll be nothing forever
And all of my memories
And all of the things I have seen will be gone
With my eyes with my body with me

But me and my husband
We are doing better
It's always been just him and me
Together
So I bet all I have on that
Furrowed brow
And at least in this lifetime
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're sticking together

And I'm the idiot with the painted face in the corner, taking up space
But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved

This is my interpretation mixed with the canon definition. Basically, the song is about a stereotypical housewife from the 1950's that married a man who doesn't love her. He abused her a lot and every day she tries her best to convince herself that he does indeed love her like she loves him. The lyrics "I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute And then I'll be nothing forever And all of my memories And all of the things I have seen will be gone..." sound like she loves him so much that she would kill herself for him. I don't know, this is just my interpretation, and I just wanted to share it lol <3

"Me and My Husband" has a lot of definitions from a lot of different people. Some say it's about an abusive relationship in the modern-day, others say it's about a housewife in the 1950's, which I think is the canon meaning behind the song. Although people have their own opinions, I believe this song isn't just about an abusive husband. The lyrics "but when he walks in, I am loved" contradict everything the song is trying to tell us; it shows that maybe the husband really does love her. Thus, what if the song is about a housewife in the '50s whose husband is abusive, but deep down inside her husband really does love her. That's why they got married after all. The husband could possibly have anger issues or other underlying problems that make him abusive, but she purposefully ignores it because she "knows he loves her" and things along those lines. I don't know, just a theory from a line that stood out a lot from the message the song tries to send.

From how I interpret the song the woman who struggles with depression, insecurity and has problems becoming overstimulated in situations so she takes a minute to herself from the world. She puts on makeup to hide how tired she is- she feels like she takes up space. She may think she’s an idiot which may be code for insecurity another reason she paints her face. The beginning could be notes of suicidal thoughts. But its been her and her husband. Her husband standing by her side. Both trying to get better because when your in a relationship with someone depressed you try to understand them and when you love someone so much you want to get better for them. They change many things so they can both continue together. She feels like he doesnt really care but she bets all she can on his furrowed brow. Because she knows he’s sad. Maybe sad to see her so broken. She may be far away and hurt but they’ll be sticking together in the lifetime she has. Her depressing thoughts eat her up inside but he walks in and all she can feel is his love for her

It’s a story of a woman who loves her husband very much even if he is abusive. And the woman is just trying to convince herself that she’s being loved by him because she loves him that much that she wouldn’t believe that he doesn't. In the lyrics; “me and my husband we are doing better” tells that it’s probably about a abusive husband problem. “ But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved” is just all convincing herself to tell herself that she’s being loved by him. Maybe??? I’m not 109% sure but I hope it helped? Just wanna share my opinion ^^

my opinion of what this song might mean is that maybe the person mitski is portraying on is most likey an abusive lover, probably toxic too. i imagine a woman who is in love with her lover. mostly too in love with her lover that she cant even see how he's being toxic or abusive towards her when she says "it's always been just me and him together." another theory i think of when hearing this is a really happy married couple greatly in love with each other and this song is just like a song to them, like how most couples have a special song to them. something really small and simple that i think mostly and probably- almOST- everyone would've thought of but i dunno just me!
