Anyway I love how on this album she just lays bare her whole entire real self and doesn't apologize for the feelings she had for that man and how they made her feel alive, like we love a messy queen 

 

Like in listening to this album, I often feel like this is a completely different person than she was on her prior albums, which is kind of an impressive thing to pull off eleven whole albums in :deadbanana2:

A post on Reddit was going around where someone whose main fave is Fiona Apple (the damn queen btw) said it reminds them a bit of her in terms of how she wrote. 
 

It's just very raw, bitter, angry, nihilistic at times… she usually filters her thoughts but I don't get the vibe that she did it at all this time. Sonically, the album flows very well but the songs themselves are less structured and more messy. The melodic sense (while amazing imo) is also messy, so are the lyrics. You can tell her mind was scattered everywhere when she was making this record and it's precisely why I like it.

 

P.S.

I definitely don't think it's Midnights 2.0 (literally how?) but I can understand why some don't like the sound. It's still commercial, but I don't know how anyone expected real experimentation at her current peak of popularity. I think she managed to balance things well this time, experiment a little bit in some ways while keeping it digestible.

I haven't actually sat and counted but it's something like 3(?) ish Joe tracks to the rest being Matty :skull: like I might be a little off and there might be some disagreements about some of the songs, but it's overwhelmingly a Matty album, and his band's sound being a major influence throughout (in my opinion and in some others' in here) makes it feel even more so

Wait :rip: if u replace Florida!!! with "Matty" it works so well :rip:

 

Love left me like this

I don't want to exist

So take me to Florida

 

They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true

I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable

 

Florida, can I use you up? 
Florida, is one hell of a drug
Florida, can you **** me up?

"Move to Florida" could be an inside joke thing between the 2 of them a decade ago. 

Could even parallel to mean "Move to London", because she moved there, & felt like her "car" (love) wouldn't start up, until she touched Matty.

 

 

Your Midas Touch on the chevy door.

 

You're onto something

Only 1 :rip: 1.5 if u count Fresh Out The Slammer. 

 

Some people think The Black Dog is about Joe, but it could be about either. 

Some people think My Boy, Down Bad, Loml, TTPD, are about Joe, but they're not. The lyrics point directly to Matty imo.

Has she EVER sounded this emotionally shameless??? This woman has big feelings and it's amazing to witness what they create :jonny:

She hinted at it on Midnights at times (Anti-Hero, Midnight Rain, Mastermind, Dear Reader), but that was more of a "peeking out from the curtain" type deal. TTPD feels like she's just tearing the entire curtain down. :jonny5:

Yeah i was shook at first but the lyrics are all Matty coded

 

TTPD

"You smoked", Joe publicly stated he doesn't smoke

"tattooed golden retriever", Joe isn't tattooed

"Lucy" was Matty's ex friend (She dragged him after Taylor broke up with him)

 

Loml

"Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry"

"A con-man sells a fool a get love quick scheme"

 But so is the whole album - and as a result, we thought the whole thing was about him. It's the key fake-out of the whole project and era, the central conceit of the story. From head to toe (no pun intended) this thing looks like an extremely typical Taylor Swift album, and it looks like it's going to be entirely about the six year relationship that didn't publicly end until after Midnights, which she has left narratively a little unresolved in her body of work. So you hit play, expecting the album implied as such, and instead you're greeted with an entire album about the extremely controversial month and a half long fling that immediately succeeded the longer relationship, composed largely in the style of that partner's band, with songs about how she's furious at him for leaving and furious at fans and gossip addicts for weighing in on it.

Well it's nothing to do with Taylor. If Taylor want to perform they would do this last week when Taylor was there, she won't perform Snow On the Beach on her new album release day:rip:

I think Taylor is blurring the lines on who's who.

 

Love your research tho.
