Mitski

"Nobody" is a melancholic song that speaks to feelings of loneliness and abandonment. The lyrics paint a picture of someone desperate for human connection yet being denied it. It highlights the feeling of being excluded and overlooked, even when one has gone through cycles of being big and small again. The chorus line, "Nobody, nobody, nobody", expresses this longing for human connection, while also acknowledging that nobody will rescue them. In the bridge, the singer refuses to accept pity, instead asking for a "good honest kiss", a tender moment to make her feel alright. In the end, the singer comes to terms with the reality that she is essentially alone in the world, and nobody is available to provide her with the much-needed comfort and companionship.
