Mitski, "Working for the Knife"

Lembram-se de Bury Me at Make Out Creek (2015)? Ou de Puberty 2 (2016)? Ou ainda do maravilhoso Be the Cowboy (2018)? Pois bem, Mitski, americana de origem japonesa, está de volta com o single Working for the Knife, uma bela aventura de solidão e teatralidade, filmada com verve por Zia Anger.

I cry at the start of every movie
I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too
But I'm working for the knife

I used to think I would tell stories
But nobody cared for the stories I had
About no good guys

I always knew the world moves on
I just didn't know it would go without me
I start the day high and it ends so low
'Cause I'm working for the knife

I used to think I'd be done by twenty
Now at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at thirty I'll see a way to change
That I'm living for the knife

I always thought the choice was mineAnd I was right but I just chose wrongI start the day lying and end with the truthThat I'm dying for the knife
