The Frost is the eighth track on Mitski’s seventh studio album, The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We. It deals with feelings of loneliness and loss of connections, and how stale the world becomes without anyone to share it with.
[Verse 1]
The frost, it looks like dust settled on the world
After everyone's long been gone
But me, I was hidin', or forgotten, the only one left
Now the world is mine alone
[Chorus]
With no one, no one to share the memory
Of frost out the window
This morning after you're gone
And the house is mine alone
[Verse 2]
You're my best friend, now I've no one to tell
How I lost my best friend
The frost, it looks like we've been left in the attic
But you're not here to see
[Outro]
It's just witness-less me
The Frost was written by Mitski.
The Frost was produced by Patrick Hyland.
