    The song is about falling in love with war and the lingering effects it has left even though the war has ended, represented by a pearl in the singer's head that they roll around every night to watch it glow. The singer apologizes for not wanting physical touch from their lover, not because they don't want them, but because of the lasting impacts of having fallen in love with war without realizing it had ended.

    A Pearl – Mitski

    You're growing tired of me


    You love me so hard and I still can't sleep
    You're growing tired of me
    And all the things I don't talk about

    Sorry, I don't want your touch


    It's not that I don't want you
    Sorry, I can't take your touch

    It's just that I fell in love with a war


    Nobody told me it ended
    And it left a pearl in my head
    And I roll it around
    Every night, just to watch it glow
    Every night, baby, that's where I go

    Sorry, I don't want your touch


    It's not that I don't want you
    Sorry, I can't take your touch

    There's a hole that you fill


    A Pearl – Mitski

    You fill, you fill

    It's just that I fell in love with a war


    And nobody told me it ended
    And it left a pearl in my head
    And I roll it around
    Every night, just to watch it glow
    Every night, baby, that's where I go
    Just to watch it glow
