satan's fall-Gustave Doré
This song always motivates me during this horrible pandemic.
Plus, somehow this song reminds me of the story of Lucifer, the fallen angel who used to play music in heaven but sent to the hell. Also the word 'Lucifer' can be interpreted as Venus planet or morning star sometimes. The lyric "I want to see the whole world" also reminds me of bible quote related to Lucifer:
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit. - Isaiah 14:12-15
Still can't get the meaning of "Would you kill me in Jerusalem", (maybe related to resurrection of Jesus I guess) but I'm wondering if Mitski really intended Lucifer metaphor in her song. As a person who grew up in a Christian family but didn't enjoy that and dreamt seeing the whole world, this possibility really hits me hard.
Anyway, this song is so wonderful.
+)Speaking of Jerusalem, do you think this song is for the hero character person (Jesus) or the anti-hero character person(Lucifer)? Or both?
++)Mitski's another song,"Remember my name" also reminds me of the same story because of these lyrics:
'I need something bigger than the sky
Hold it in my arms and know it's mine
Just how many stars will I need to hang
around me to finally call it heaven?'
//To finally get somewhere I can be all
done somewhere like heaven

I'm not doing anything
I'm not doing anything
My body's made of crushed little stars
And I'm not doing anything
I wanna see the
whole world
I wanna see the whole world
I don't know how I'm gonna pay rent
I wanna see the whole world
Would you kill me, Jerusalem
Kill me, Jerusalem
Kill me, Jerusalem

I should tell them that I'm not afraid to die

Uh
I work better under a deadline
I work better under a deadline
I pick an age when I'm gonna
disappear
Until then I can try again
Until then I can try again
Kill me, Jerusalem
Kill me, Jerusalem
Kill me, Jerusalem
Go and kill me
