i love wizards bc they fucking lie all the time. gandalf was like “a wizard is never late he arrives precisely when he means to” lying ass. he was late as fuck. wizards will just say whatever. it doesn’t even matter when you have a big ass hat

modern media literacy is so cooked like what do you mean you gave saltburn a .5 star rating because it wasn’t the class consciousness film you wanted that’s not what the fucking movie is about… ‘they made it hard to keep rooting for him and identifying with him’ idk maybe don’t project onto every character in media you come across & then get scared when they act in a way you wouldn’t

Here is my list to show every single song on midnights has relevance to the middle of the night plus Taylor being a genius

1. Meet me at midnight

2. When the morning came / I wake with your memory over me

3. Midnights become my afternoon / when my depression works the graveyard shift / I wake up screaming from dreaming

4. One night a few moons ago / you wanting me tonight / flying in a dream

5. I dream of getting out / My dreams aren’t rare

6. I was midnight rain / and I never think of him except on midnights like this

7. Painted all my nights a color I have searched for since / did you leave her house in the middle of the night / but tonight can I ask you a question

8. Vigilante shit does not have a line that fits this but I feel as though vigilantes are operating at night

9. And by the way…I’m going out tonight / and we’re dancing all night

10. Lost in the labyrinth of my mind just feels like her thinking this in the middle of the night when she’s trying to sleep because that’s when you enter the mind labyrinth

11. Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me just gives her reflecting on all of the wonderful things in her life so she can sleep peacefully at night knowing karma will get her enemies

12. This again just gives being content at night with the love of her life

13. The first night that you saw me

Now what we’ve come to find through the original release is the genius construction of this album. We start of course with her doing some classic scheming going out at midnight. Some younger Taylor core like red era where she’s going out all night and trying to understand herself and finding these relationships that seem amazing at first but come to keep her up at night. Now she’s been through it, she did some vigilante shit, and hey she’s still bejeweled so she’s older now and going back out. NOW we got our boy and uh oh falling in love again. Now at the end of this album she can enjoy her midnights with her man (say it with me: her DAYLIGHT)

Stay with me we’ve got eight more songs:

14. Cursed you as I sleep talked / that was the night I nearly lost you / there’s no morning glory

15. Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears - means she’s laying down on her back because that is how tears fall when you lay down

16. The tower at midnight

17. I bent the truth too far tonight

18. Nights are so starry blood moonlit

19. I can’t let this go I fight with you in my sleep

20. You should find another guiding light - a light in the darkness, This is sooo Taylor writing this by candlelight

21. Dreams of your hair and your stare / also she’s out at bars likely at night
