Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Carry Me Out

"Carry Me Out" Is A Melancholic Song That Explores The Themes Of Longing For A Connection With Someone That Seems Impossible To Reach. Mitski Uses Vivid Imagery To Paint A Picture Of Her Trying To Find Solace In The Dark And Lonely Night. The Opening Verse Suggests That The Night Sky Is Her Only Companion While She Sits On A Rooftop Feeling Isolated And Disconnected From The World Around Her. The Reference To "my Plastic Chair" And "my Dark Hair" Implies A Sense Of Detachment And Artificiality. In The Second Verse Mitski Mentions The Scent Of Flowers And How She Says Her Lover’s Name Hoping That They'll Hear It In The Stars. This Reveals Her Desperation And Longing For Someone Who Is Not Physically Present With Her. The Chorus Repeats The Phrase "carry Me Out" Suggesting That She Wants Someone To Rescue Her From Her Sense Of Isolation And Bring Her Out Into The World Again. The Bridge Introduces A New Metaphor For Her Situation - Driving In The Rain Down A Path That Leads To The Underworld. The Image Of The "headlight Spirits" Leading Her Down "the Styx" Creates A Sense Of Foreboding And Desperation As If Mitski Is Willing To Go To Any Lengths To Connect With This Person. Overall "Carry Me Out" Is A Song About The Universal Experience Of Longing For Someone Who Is Absent. Mitski Is Able To Express This In A Deeply Personal And Poetic Way Creating An Evocative And Emotional Experience For The Listener.
