Cruel Summer X Hiddleswift
The theme is about a relationship that was born doomed to failure and is exactly how it describes the relationship with Tom in Getaway Car. The production of Cruel Summer and Getaway are similar, as if it were a continuation.
She describes Tom as a "toy with a price" and she had already done it earlier in Don't Blame Me "I've been breaking hearts a long time and toying with their older guys just playthings for me to use."
She says she paid the price for this toy and the price was to abandon Calvin.
“What doesn't kill me makes me want you more” X “It was the best of times, the worst of crimes”
They were playing a dangerous game, and the angels rolled their eyes knowing that it wouldn't end well but it made Taylor feel even more excited.
In the chorus she talks about how despite being a doomed relationship there was still pleasure. Sex worked as an escape valve. Everything was falling apart, but the sex still great.
"i'm drunk in the back of the car and i cried like a baby coming home from the bar said i'm fine, but it wasn't true i don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you ”
She refers to the metaphor used in "Getaway" where she leaves Tom at the motel bar and runs away. A decision that was not easy (“I was crying in a getaway car i was dying in a getaway car said 'goodbye' in a getaway car") 'but she had to make it because she couldn't keep hiding secrets from him. In this case the secret would be that she was already in love with Joe.
"And I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer, just to seal my fate"
It reminds me of the poem Taylor wrote:
“If you're anything like me
You never wanted to lock your door
Your secret garden gate or your diary drawer
Didn't want to face the you you don't know anymore
For fear she was much better before
But Darling, now you have to ”
She knew she needed to hide her secret garden, her privacy, but that summer she kept sneaking into her secret garden and was discovered. It helped seal their fate: Fail.
“And I screamed for whatever it's worth I love you, even the worst thing you've ever heard? he looks up, grinning like a devil ”
It reminds Taylor's poem:
“You promise people the world
Because that's what they want from you
You like giving them what they want
But darling, you need to stop ”
She said she loved him because that was what he wanted to hear and that was the cruelest thing he had ever heard because it was a lie. He looks at her and smiles sarcastically like the devil because he knew she wasn't telling the truth.
