Lyrics
Well I don't know how a washing machine works
Expressing a lack of knowledge about the functioning of a washing machine.
Or why Mitski wrote a song about her heart
Reflecting on Mitski's song about heart, suggesting a parallel between the unknown aspects of a washing machine and emotions.
All I know is that it ebbs and flows
Describing the uncertainty and unpredictable nature of emotions, comparing them to the ebbing and flowing of a washing machine.
And how or when it stops, no one knows
Highlighting the mystery surrounding when and how emotions come to an end.
Could it be a mechanism
Raising questions about emotions being a mechanism or a device.
Could it be some device
Exploring the possibility of understanding emotions as a mechanical process.
Could I get up right next to it
Expressing a desire to get close to emotions, metaphorically represented by a washing machine, but with the fear of emotional vulnerability.
Or would it spill out my insides
Concerns about potential emotional turmoil and the fear of emotional spillage.
So I asked the smartest man to see if he knew
Seeking wisdom from knowledgeable individuals about the nature of emotions.
And then I asked the smartest woman, and she was stumped too
Indicating that even the smartest woman is unsure about the complexities of emotions.
So then I asked the goblin underneath the bridge
Turning to unconventional sources (the goblin) for answers about emotions.
And they looked right at me like I'd lost my lid
Receiving perplexed or dismissive reactions from unconventional sources, emphasizing the elusive nature of understanding emotions.
Does anybody know
Pondering if anyone truly understands the nature of emotions.
What the hell this thing shows
Expressing confusion about the purpose or meaning behind emotions.
Is it written right in runes
Wondering if emotions are symbolically written in runes, suggesting a cryptic or mysterious nature.
And why does it play such funky tunes
Questioning the unexpected and unique aspects of emotions, likened to funky tunes.
Washing machine
Repetition of the phrase "Washing machine" reinforces the metaphor for emotions, expressing a desire to understand them.
