Nobody
Mitski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
So I open the window
To hear sounds of people
To hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much, too?
Did its people want too much?
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I'll be alright
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody
I've been big and small
And big and small
And big and small again
And still nobody wants me
Still nobody wants me
And I know no one will save me
I'm just asking for a kiss
Give me one good movie kiss
And I'll be alright
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody (nobody)
(Nobody, nobody)
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, no
The lyrics to Mitski's song Nobody express a deep sense of loneliness and a search for intimacy and connection. The opening lines, "My God, I'm so lonely, so I open the window to hear sounds of people," convey a feeling of isolation and longing for human interaction. The reference to Venus being destroyed by global warming suggests that the speaker feels like they are living in a world that is becoming less and less hospitable to love and connection. The repetition of the word "nobody" throughout the song emphasizes the speaker's sense of being alone and unloved.
The speaker acknowledges that they don't want pity, but they do want somebody to be near them. The line "I just want to feel alright" expresses a desire for comfort and security that is missing from the speaker's life. The speaker recognizes that no one can save them, but they still long for a kiss or a moment of closeness that would make them feel less alone. The repetition of the word "nobody" in the chorus reinforces the idea that the speaker feels fundamentally undesirable and unlovable.
The line "I've been big and small and big and small and big and small again, and still nobody wants me" suggests that the speaker has tried to change themselves or adapt to the expectations of others in order to be loved, but nothing has worked. The repetition of the phrase "big and small" reinforces the idea that the speaker has gone through cycles of trying to fit in or conform, but still feels rejected. The reference to a "good movie kiss" suggests that the speaker is looking for a moment of idealized romance that may not exist in real life.
Overall, the lyrics to Nobody express a sense of alienation and a longing for human connection. The repetition of the word "nobody" throughout the song emphasizes the speaker's feeling of being fundamentally unloved, while the desire for a kiss or a moment of intimacy suggests that the speaker is still searching for something that will make them feel less alone.
