Remember My Name
Mitski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you come to where I'm staying
And make some extra love?
That I can save 'til tomorrow's show
'Cause I need somebody to remember my name
After all that I can do for them is done
I need someone to remember me
I need something bigger than the sky
Hold it in my arms and know it's mine
Just how many stars will I need to hang around me
To finally call it Heaven?
'Cause I need somebody to remember my name
After all that I can do for them is done
I need someone to remember me
I need something bigger than the sky
Hold it in my arms and know it's mine
Just how many stars will I need to hang around me
To finally get somewhere I can be all done
Somewhere like Heaven
The lyrics of Mitski's song Remember My Name seem to revolve around the idea of wanting to be remembered by someone. The first lines suggest that the singer has given too much of herself - possibly referring to a performance or a relationship - and now seeks comfort in the company of someone who can "make some extra love" and help her forget her troubles. However, the following lines reveal that what she truly desires is not just temporary comfort but rather someone who will remember her when everything else is done. She needs to feel that her efforts and accomplishments have not gone unnoticed and that someone will recognize her name and who she is beyond the present moment.
The second stanza emphasizes the scale of her need, as she longs for something "bigger than the sky" that she can hold and call her own. The image of stars around her suggests a kind of heavenly aura or fame that can only be achieved by being recognized and remembered. The final lines echo this desire for an ultimate destination where she can be "all done," suggesting a sense of exhaustion or weariness with the world as it is.
