Abbey Lyrics
Abbey poignantly captures the profound sense of feeling lost and disconnected, as the song’s protagonist yearns to find their sense of belonging in the world. They metaphorically express the feeling of being an “abbey,” isolated and self-contained, seeking connection with others. This haunting and atmospheric ballad weaves a tapestry of sadness and longing, enveloping listeners in the raw vulnerability of the protagonist’s emotional journey. While still grappling with their isolation, they begin to reach out for help and understanding, taking tentative steps towards finding their place in the world. The song’s instrumental, artfully blending electronica and indie rock, sets a driving beat that mirrors the protagonist’s unwavering determination to break free from their seclusion and embrace the possibilities of connection and belonging. “Abbey” stands as a powerful anthem of self-discovery, resilience, and the universal quest for a sense of home within oneself and among others. Mitski’s Abbey lyrics are provided below.
