This album was made for me so if you don't like it don't worry about it, this is between me and Taylor

[evermoredeluxe]

“i hate it here” is peak escapism and hearing her talk about how she lives in a garden no one else has access to in her mind (unlike the rest of her life) for most of the year is sooooo. made up scenarios and imagining living in the 1800s… it’s giving the lakes except she’s alone and she can’t actually leave. so much of the album is about feeling stuck and this one is about feeling stuck in herself.

[evermoredeluxe]

actually i think the song goes into another layer of maladaptive daydreaming. the first verse determines that she hates her current life and is scared, and the second verse determines that she’d actually hate real life in any given time period. she determines that she’d hate the 1800s because “nostalgia is a mind’s trick.” she knows reality too well, and she knows real life is always awful.

in the chorus, she explores her mind and that’s the only place she trusts. and so now she’s dreaming of a secret garden, a hidden valley on the moon, and a new planet. and this new place is not the strongest or the fittest, but the gentlest. and the bridge justifies this need to do live in her mind even more. she swears she is fine, but she gets lost on purpose. she feels fragile and she wants something, and though she knows that the way to move forward is to leave the things that break her behind, she can’t do it real life; she can only do it in her fantasy and so she loves it in her mind. she doesn’t care, she’s gonna live there for most of the year.

“I might just die, it would make no difference” “I died on the altar waiting for proof” “I might just not get up” “oh, what a way to die” “two graves, one gun” “I would’ve died for your sins” “I leap from the gallows” “if you wanted me dead you should’ve just said” “never quite buried” “were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?” “I think I might die if I made it”

what if he’s written “mine” on my upper thigh only in my miiiiiinnd? one slip and falling back into the hedge maze, oh, what a way to diiiiiiee! i keep recalling things we never did, messy top lip kiss, how i long for our trysts! without ever touching his skin, how can i be guilty as sin?

the peaked at high school girls who have cosplayed being a swiftie for a year are having a hard time comprehending ttpd lyrics and it's sending me. taylor swift is for the nerds, artists and daydreamers you bullied in school. you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum they raised me, the world is healing

oh.........."peter" is from the perspective of wendy ....... "peter losing wendy" oh.....

[aslowmotionlovepotion]

the beauty of this album is that it really fully encapsulates what it’s like going from the devastating loss of a long term relationship, to the rebound you think is gonna fix it all, only to ultimately realize that you were using the latter to process your feelings about the former. the songs are so muddled, and the lyrics are relevant to both muses because her feelings were muddled and she had no idea where to put them or what to do with them. the rebound promised her everything she couldn’t get from the ex-love and she fell for it because she was so desperate to be really seen.
