Liquid Smooth
Mitski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
崩れてゆく前に
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mitski's Liquid Smooth speak about beauty and vulnerability, specifically the beauty borne out of youth, shown through the line "I'm beautiful, I know cause it's the season." However, instead of feeling proud or confident about it, she questions "what am I to do with all this beauty?" It showcases how the societal gaze forces individuals to become someone they don't feel like or don't know how to be. She goes on to refer to herself in biological terms, highlighting that she's just an organism made of chemicals. These elements showcase a much deeper layer of the song where the singer talks about her fear of aging and the beauty that wanes away with it.


The chorus of the song aims to tempt the listener to come touch her, with lines like "I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too ", and begging for the person to snap a picture of her. The singer has no fear of living and is fully immersed in a space where she feels that she is at the peak of her life. However, with lines like “I'm pulsing, my blood is red and unafraid of living” and “I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe About to fall, capture me,” there is a sense of fragility lurking just beneath the surface. The bridge of the song, "How I feel this river rushing through my veins With nowhere else to go, it circles 'round," is her attempt to expand her current moment and make it a permanent memory. Thus, the song revolves around beauty and its fleeting nature, an ode in a way to hold onto youth and beauty.

I'm beautiful, I know 'cause it's the season
But what am I to do with all this beauty

Come touch me too
And feel my skin is plump and full of life

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

Im experiencing this right now.
I'm 16, he said he's 19. At first i thought he's weird, then met up with him. Kinda started to like him, but immediately noticed that he doesn't look 19 at all. Atleast 27. I tried to ignore the thought that he might be lying about his age, i didnt wanna mention it because.. idk.. it would be rude?
I still met up with him, then one day slept over at his house..
One day, i googled his name and job, found some stuff about him out. He lied about his age. But i still didn't let him go. He told me he loves me and if I have to be honest.. he has everything. A house, a big pool, a big garden, money, beautiful cars.. he is independent and that's also why i still haven't left. I'm so stupid.
Then he texted my friends fake girly account on snapchat, asked her for photos but like he RLLY wanted to see those photos. She said she is 16 and likes older(20+) men. He really liked that and said he is 23. The guy then removed her because he realised it was a fake account. What if that was a real girl?

I tried to talk to him bout it, but then he threatened with killing himself by drinking and driving.
I got scared and told him i'll give him a 2nd chance.
Next day we met up at 3am, i sneaked out while my mom was sleeping.
He immediately ..well, stuff happened.. and i felt so weird afterwards. I didnt say no and played along but.. it still felt weird. I remember him just touching and kissing everything and me staring into the distance and thinking "what am I doing to myself"
ITS SO CLEAR THAT HE IS JUST USING ME. But..
He says he really and truly loves me, but i feel like he's lying and it doesnt feel right to say I love you back.


I dont know why I'm still with him. Maybe because he has money and shows me affection? Well.. i dont know, i feel like a naive stupid whore.


Anyways sorry for bothering u
I usually never vent but zamn

@skarseld.

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

@kuroyukiart

Absolutely.

@valentine7334

The way Mitski expresses herself is more like visceral.

@breadheo6102

i will punt someone if they call her music feral😐
