Lyrics:
There’s a bug like an angel
Stuck to the bottom
Of my glass, with a little bit left
As I got older
I learned I’m a drinker
Sometimes a drink feels like family
Family

Hey, what’s the matter
Looking like your sticker
Is stuck on a floor somewhere –
Did you go and make promises you can’t keep?
Well, when you break them
They break you right back
Amateur mistake
You can take it from me
They break you right back
Break you right back

When I’m bent over
Wishing it was over
Making all variety of vows I’ll never keep
I try to remember
The wrath of the devil
Was also given him by God

Fucking NOTHING could have prepared me for the way that “FAAAAAAMILYYY” with the choir hit. I was like “oh! New Mitski dropped! I’ll listen to it when I get to work!” This was NOT appropriate for the office. I started bawling. Thank you, Mitski.

The moment where the choir director supports the old lady who has just crashed into them and then gently caresses her face is such a soft moment that feels so opposite to what the narrator is expecting from the world.

Ironically enough…..I listened to this song completely drunk out of my mind last night I felt glued to my bed because the room was spinning and the feeling I got from hearing the choir flood in it felt like divine intervention. Being drunk hearing this song in a sense you can really hear Mitski’s intention and heart because it feels like she’s been there. For people who find comfort in escaping through those means this song is arresting. It made me feel less alone it made me feel like there’s got to be another way to feel content. Because how many times do I want the room to spin before I realize a drink won’t save me from what I have to wake up to in sobriety? I don’t think it’s meant to instill a sense of guilt I just feel like Mitski has probably felt the dark side of a comedown before in whatever way that looks like. But this song felt like a lullaby for people who’ve been in AA before. All that to say what a gorgeous and brutally honest song. It feels like what’s missing from music. Thank you so much Mitski.

I love this. It doesn't need an explosive conclusion or a wide, high vocals, it just stays in one solemn emotion and delivers the whole way through.

To be honest, this caught me in one of my worst moments, and I relate so much to it. In this case I made the promise to myself, but I seem to break it all over again, repeating the same mistakes. Thank you, Mitski, for making this beautiful and hurtful melody.

The specific moment when Mitski makes eye contact with the old woman and not the camera, it hits me like a jolt as if she's staring at my soul. It's definitely no accident that that's the most-replayed moment in the video.

" i try to remember: the wrath of the devil was also given to him by god... " such a good line!! and the way she turns to look at the camera right then is powerful!!

I love how mitskis music videos always have a movie like story being told as the song plays, and you’re able to interpret it as whatever you’d like

This really hit me close to home, reminds me a lot of my mother.. I'm 25 and my mom is 66 years old and she's been struggling with depression for all her life and has a hard time getting out of bed. I always go to check on her and she'll usually vent to me about how she grew up with a abusive mother (who recently died in 2021 during covid), being mistreated and abused by family/friends when she was a kid/teen, and how my dad made her scared of the world and the things she gave up to raised our family and support my dad who was a alcoholic and was physically abusive to her for years until they both reached their 50s, they verbally abuse each other frequently now (they almost got a divorce in 2011 but they're still married.) She lost 3 babies(stillborn..), and had 4 (including me being the youngest and 7th child) all boys. My dad got sick one day in 2016 on my senior year of high school and was knocked out for months on the hospital bed, basically in a coma. My mom visited him almost everyday, stayed there every night until he got better. A few years later pre-covid he found out he has cancer, my mom did the best she could to love my dad but he never really changed for her (except for not drinking beer anymore, but that wasn't really enough for my mom.) Yesterday my mom went to the doctor and found out she has a kidney infection and she told my dad, he was upset but mostly irritated and said "I am going to miss a lot of work and money just to make sure you are okay. I'm giving to much time for you guys" and asked for money for gas so he doesn't miss work tomorrow. (He can stay home since he gets disability/veteran pay) He said a lot of hurtful things to her and done so much damage to her before but that sentence really impacted her. That night I went to check on her in her room after being in the hospital, expecting her to vent about everything like usual, I sat next to her on her cluttered bed... and all she did was put her head on my shoulder and said nothing. She was just quiet, i put my hand on her head resting on my shoulder. She doesn't have to tell me, but i know she feels like she gave up so much time for my dad and our family and for me.. I never seen her so done with everything, she's been broken over and over again.. I'm still hurting for her, I wish can do more for her and that life treated her better. I wish I can give her a better world than this.

I'm genuinely so grateful for Mitski and her music. I'm always in awe at how she's able to create universes in every song, completely immersing the listener in each story. She really makes the world a better place with her art. I remember first finding her music years ago and being completely starstruck at how she was able to create such intense atmospheres and emotions, and no artist has ever spoken to me on that level since. It's safe to say I'll forever be grateful for the impact she's had and will continue to have on me. 😭😭❤❤❤

I love the red vs blue shine on Mitski when she talks about the devil and God. Its like showing the two meaings of the verse and at that moment you choose which meaning it has to you. Red or blue.. Negative or positive..

I love how this keeps in the world from Pearl, Only Heartbreaker, and Drunk Walk Home. It’s the seemingly inevitable steps after being the traumatized person, the girl with drunken self protective rage, the girl who pushes others away, and finally the one who dully acknowledges a drinking problem. All of her songs express these snowballing iterations of who she is… and often crescendo. Not this one. Just acknowledgement. No plan to change, because it feels too late to change.
