mitski "Francis Forever"

(This is gonna be an analysis that I agree with from genuis.com)

- the aftermath of "First Love/Late Spring"?

- Mitski reflects upon her isolation and feelings of inadequacy (possibly after the loss of a lover)

- "Francis" is a reference to Mitski's middle name ; aligning with the secrecy n hidden nature of these perpetual feelings

"I don't need the world to see / That I've been the best I can be but, / I don't think I could stand to be / Where you can't see me "

presents the central issue of this song: she is torn between not caring what ppl think ab her and depending on her former lover's perception of her, which she cannot stand to be without. Alternatively, she isn't up for expressing her feelings or explaining her unfavorable actions. This song is Mitski's last attempt to repair what is lost. She is not able to accept she is no longer a major role in their (former lover's) life. 

           - Though she is trying to say as much as she wants to keep to herself and her                                  improvements as a person private, she is willing to put all of that out in the open for the                attention of the lover we assume left her

(my fav verse)

"On sunny days, I go out walking / I end up on a tree-lined street / I look up at the gaps of sunlight / I miss you more than anything"

This is a reference to the Japanese phrase "komorebi" (literal translation "sunlight leaking through trees") 

- commonly used to refer to the nostalgia and melancholic longing for a person far away.

- it can be a metaphor, the interplay of light and dark represents the constant battle between feeling happy and sad

- Mistki uses this vibrant imagery for the nostalgia and melancholic longing for a person far away.
