Eternals as Mitski Songs:

Ajak:Last Words of a Shooting Star- “All of this turbulence wasn’t forecasted. Apologies from the intercom and I am relieved that I’d left my room tidy. They’ll think of me kindly when they come for my things, they’ll never know how I’d stared at the dark in that room with no thoughts like a blood-sniffing shark and while my dreams made music in the night, carefully, I was going to live.”

Ikaris:A Pearl- “Sorry I can’t take your touch, it’s just that I fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended and it left a pearl in my hand and I roll it around every night, just to watch it glow, every night, baby, that’s where I go.”

Sersi:I Bet on Losing Dogs- “I bet on losing dogs I know they’re losing and I’ll pay for my place by the ring where I’ll be looking in their eyes when they’re down, I’ll be there on their side, I’m losing by their side. Will you let me, baby, lose on losing dogs, I know they’re losing and I’ll pay for my place by the ring where I’ll be looking in their eyes when they’re down”

Thena:Me and My Husband- “And I am the idiot with the painted face in the corner, taking up space, but when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved. Me and my husband, we’re doing better, it’s always been just him and me, together. So I bet all I have on that furrowed brow, and, at least in this lifetime, we’re sticking together. Me and my husband, we’re sticking together. Me and my husband, we’re doing better.”

Phastos:A Burning Hill- “I’m tired of wanting more, I think I’m finally worn, for you have a way of promising things and I’ve been a forest fire. I am a forest fire and I am the fire and I am the forest and I am a witness watching it, I stand in a valley watching it. And you are not there at all.”

Gilgamesh:Dan the Dancer- “And when she’d ask to hold hands he would smile and let one of his hands go, his whole life in one hand- his whole life. And when he’d say goodnight and leave her doorstep, he’d use his last strength to wave back, and once back in his room, once back in his room, he’d return his waving hand back to its cliff. He liked her more than life itself. I’m sure.”

Makkari:Crack Baby- “It’s been a long hard twenty year summer vacation, both these twenty years trying to fill the void. Crack baby you don’t know what you want but you know that you had it once and you know that you want it back. Crack baby you don’t know what you want but you know that you’re needing it and you know that you need it bad. With wild horses running through your hollow bones, wild horses running through your hollow bones.”

Druig:Drunk Walk Home- “I will retire to the Salton sea at the age of 23 for i’m starting to learn I may never be free, but though I may never be free, fuck you and your money. I’m tired of your money.”

Kingo:Strawberry Blond- “When you stood up walked away, barefoot and the grass where you lay left a bed in your shape I looked over it and I ached. I love everybody because I love you, I don’t need the city, and I don’t need proof, all I need, darling, is a life in your shape, I picture it, soft and I ache.”

Sprite:Washing Machine Heart- “Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart baby, bang it up inside. I’m not wearing my usual lipstick, I thought maybe we would kiss tonight. Baby, will you kiss me already and toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart? Baby, bang it up inside… Do mi ti Why not me? Why not me?”
