So tell me why I had a dream in October that @taylorswift would release You're Losing Me in November and then she did??? Am I psychic???
1989 (Taylor's Version) / Say Don't Go
'Peak government subsidy' has enabled their entire lives. #Boomers
It’s a new soundtrack 💙 Here are the back covers and vault track titles for 1989 (my version) I can’t wait for this one to be out, seriously. Thank you for playing along, sleuthing, puzzling and making these reveals so much chaotic fun (which is the best kind of fun, after all 😜)
The tour isn’t the only thing we’re taking worldwide…….. 🌎 Been so excited to tell you all that The Eras Tour concert film is now officially coming to theaters WORLDWIDE on Oct 13! Tickets available now at https://taylor.lnk.to/TSTheErasTourFilm or on your local theaters website! 💙
No truer words ever said!
People will always tell trauma victims to 'work on themselves' but what really needs to be worked on is:
being extremely protected and safe from abuse
judging people more
getting angry at people more
holding people accountable when they do inconsiderate shit to us
being more suspicious of other's intentions
putting ourselves at the same level at others and not idolizing or inftantilizing people we care about
no longer making excuses for people who are doing shit that hurts us
having someone to advocate for us when we're triggered and unable to do shit about about it
giving ourselves a fucking break
experiencing gentleness and human contact to the measure that we're no longer starving for breadcumbs
having more control over our life
doing whatever we want without any guilt or shame
having actual leverage over people who are ready to blackmail us
getting people to back the fuck off
getting people to stop telling us what to do
being aware that our life and choices are none of anyone's business and stop taking ignorant and stupid inputs
telling people off
no longer worrying about everyone else's comfort in a situation where nobody would even think of ours
no longer feeling guilty for being tired, traumatized, hurt and pessimistic
being ready to fight anyone who makes us feel like shit
stop imagining that us feeling like shit is just 'normal' or 'necessary' because no sane person would accept this
hating our abusers with our entire guts and blaming them for every second of what they did to us

"I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it" - All Too Well, Taylor Swift
Fuck Capitalism for making "side hustle" sound like a good thing instead of acknowledging that our economy is so fucked you have to work two jobs to survive.
Chukwudi Iwuji better have made a billion dollars in GotG Vol. 3 because everyone will be hating him for the rest of his acting career for what he did to Rocket and his friends.
GotG Vol. 3: Religious Trauma
(TW: Religion, animal cruelty, abuse, homophobia)
This post is about how GotG Vol. 3 had an underlying theme of religious trauma and healing. Marvel's Phase 4 has really hinted at this theme in several movies and shows (Moon Knight for one), but GotG really has highlighted it.
Forgot the word "corn cob" for a second and called it a brick of corn.
In-Depth Analysis of "You're Losing Me" by Taylor Swift
Pt. 1(?)
__________________
So this first part, I'm just gonna go line by line and point out comparisons to other songs or possible hidden meanings.
________________
[Verse 1]
You say, "I don't understand" and I say, "I know you don't"
We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't
Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light
Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time
Damn, it gets deep reallll fast. Clearly from the first line, Taylor broke up with Joe, not vice versa, and he was confused why. The second line refers to the later line about being sick. She compares their relationship to a terminal illness.
The third line is a reference to Daylight, and the fourth line is contrasting like three. I wonder if it's a reference to her (possibly) writing the song before they broke up but she thought they might, so the song is the one sitting in the dark wondering if it's time, to be recorded and let the world know what happened.
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
I'm getting tired even for a phoenix
Always risin' from the ashes
Mendin' all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow
Obviously the first line is a reference to the Lover House rooms being empty and later burned down during The Eras Tour. Taylor compared herself to a phoenix rising from the ashes, a reference to Reputation. Taylor has come back from so many things, but she doesn't want to repeat that cycle with her lover, Joe. The "final blow" is a mystery, but I have to think (going by the bridge) it was Joe's refusal to get married.
[Chorus]
Stop, you're losing me
Stop, you're losing me
Stop, you're losing me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore for you
'Cause you're losing me
I interpret this chorus as Joe upsetting Taylor and she's asking him to stop before he loses her, but he doesn't. By the third time, it has killed the relationship, and her "heart won't start anymore, for" Joe. 💔
[Verse 2]
Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes
How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?
I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick
My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick
Storms in my eyes could be a reference to Ready For It? MV, where she has lighting in her eyes, but the line is saying that she was troubled and you could see it, but he never did. The second line is just heartbreaking- but that and the fourth line are a direct reference to All Too Well's "dead, gone, buried/come back swearing it's the same". The third line is a reference to Exile (that they wrote together) saying "I gave so many signs"; it's also referencing the anxiety she's had in the relationship lately.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now, you're running down the hallway
And you know what they all say
"You don't know what you got until it's gone"
Joe clearly is not able to make a decision about furthering the relationship. Taylor feels like her pain of not getting married or taking the next step in the relationship is just annoying to Joe, and not something he cares about. The hallway could be a reference to Maroon "standing hollow-eyed in the hallway", but Joe runs down the hallway to get away. The hallway line could also be furthering the picture of the relationship being terminally ill, and he leaves the hospital room (to the hallway) because he can't take it. The 3rd and 4th lines show their regret and pain at it ending, but know they can't go back.
[Post-Chorus]
My heart won't start anymore (Stop 'cause you're losing me)
My heart won't start anymore (Stop 'cause you're losing me)
I think the post chorus is cool (in the saddest way) with the heart beat stopping at these lines.
[Bridge]
How long could we be a sad song
'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?
I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy
And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier
Fighting in only your army, frontlines, don't you ignore me
I'm the best thing at this party (You're losing me)
And I wouldn't marry me either
A pathological people pleaser
Who only wanted you to see her
AHHH the best part. This bridge is sooo sad, but very eye-opening. I think the first 2 lines are referencing the songs they wrote together (the majority of them have sad overtones), but now THEY are becoming the sad song, and again, he ignores it. The 3rd lines is a direct reference to Mirrorball, with "all my best me's" paralleling with "I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me." "The bravest soldier" line and the 4th and 5th line are a reference to The Great War. She's taking the worst of the arguments and battles, but he, again, ignores her pain. The 6th line is a reference to YOYOK, "I searched the party/just to learn you never cared."
Now the SADDEST part of the whole song T-T. "I wouldn't marry me either", clearly means Joe didn't want to marry her, and she blames herself for that, calling herself a "pathological people pleaser." Her goal in people pleasing, though, is so that he would see her. Very clear reference to the chorus of tolerate it.
And I'm fading, thinkin'
"Do something, babe, say something" (Say something)
"Lose something, babe, risk something" (You're losing me)
"Choose something, babe, I got nothing" (I got nothing)
"To believe, unless you're choosing me"
Taylor is now begging Joe to take action, in any way. Say something, take a risk, lose, and choose her. The chorus after tells us he doesn't. The last two lines here are a reference to hoax, "your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in."

All in all, this is my all-time favorite Taylor Swift song. There's so much more to dive into (I spent hours talking about it yesterday) so I'll probably do a part two with more stuff! Anyway, let me know what you think of the song!
oh! or trans/nb forest silhouette! i love seeing those, but I've never seen 1 for trans or nb! :D thank you!
sorry for responding to this a year late but here you go!
