"Everyone" is a song about a person who is constantly seeking independence and freedom, but ultimately feels trapped and constrained by societal expectations. The song starts with the protagonist going against what everyone else is saying and choosing a path that others discourage her from taking. She invites the darkness in, but it does not want her yet. This could metaphorically represent her desire to explore a different, unconventional path or state of mind.
In the second verse, she finds herself vulnerable and helpless, just like a baby in a crib after the light is turned off. This could allude to her lack of preparation for the challenges that come with taking a different route than what society expects of her.
In the chorus, the protagonist invites the darkness to take everything from her, which could mean that she is willing to give up everything to achieve the freedom she seeks. She then realizes that she did not fully understand the consequences of her actions and that she was not prepared for what it would take to achieve her goals.
The bridge highlights the fact that the protagonist lacked the foresight to understand what she was getting into and how difficult it would be to achieve what she wanted.
The song concludes with the protagonist feeling free, but only to realize that she is back in line again, chained by societal norms and expectations. Overall, "Everyone" discusses themes of seeking freedom and independence, but highlights the challenges that come with it and the difficulty of making unconventional choices without proper preparation."Everyone" by Mitski is a song about a person who is constantly seeking independence and freedom, but ultimately feels trapped and constrained by societal expectations.
