Mitski is an artist whose songs are never meant to be just heard but to be felt. Her songwriting always sits quietly in some corner of the heart. “Bug Like an Angel,” the first track on her album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, is such an emotional gut-punch. In this song Mitski talks about pain, addiction, and isolation, where relief is only found in a glass, and sometimes not even that.
The song unfolds in three verses, each one like a broken thought as we talk to ourselves during our lowest moment. Which is the most painful thing? Ki Mitski kabool karti hain even when we break, even when we fail, there’s something divine about our brokenness too..

Lyrics of Bug Like an Angel by Mitski
[Verse 1: Mitski]
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 [Verse 2: Mitski]
Hey, what’s the matter? Lookin’ like your sticker
Is stuck on a floor somewhere
Did you go and make promises you can’t keep?
Well, when ya break them, they break you right back
Amateur mistake, you can take it from me
They break you right back
Break you right back [Post-Chorus: Mitski & Choir]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 3: Mitski]
When I’m bent over wishin’ it was over
Makin’ all variety of vows I’ll never keep
I try to remember the wrath of the devil
Was also given him by God
[Outro: Mitski & Choir]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
