The people and āfansā thinking this is Taylorās worst album and wishing sheād āditch jackā and write good songs again and āput effort into her music againāā¦ā¦like. What the fuck are you listening to?
Clearly not the same album. It honestly must be so so nice to never have felt depressed, broken in pieces from more hands than a romantic relationship but also feeling betrayed, backed into a corner of a promising shiny life only for that promise to chew you up and spit you out.
This woman was going through hell; feeling used in her love she gave for 6 years when all she wanted to be was loved. Being and feeling depressed from someone you thought and believed and viewed as your world only to betray trust and love. For the industry to accept her as a fresh innocent young artist, drag her through shredder, write horrific things and believe people like *Aimee* and cast her aside, always waiting for her toe out of line. And on and on.
This album is beautifully and tragically breathtaking. Itās real and raw and vulnerable. Itās mad woman descending from the gallows as they tried to hang her, its escapism to the delusions of simpler times when really even those times werenāt good and all it was cracked up to be. Itās about feeling lonely in your love, saying goodbye to things that were once a home and comfort. Itās about trying your best to put in a smile and perform in front of thousands of people even though you want to die. Itās about feel crazy at times in your own mind, mourning youth that was gone too quickly. Itās about closing this certain chapter of your life as you move on, stitching up those wounds. Being raw and sharing your most inner and sometimes dark and invasion thoughts to the world and yeah, maybe that makes me crazy or feel crazy but this story isnāt mine anymore itās yours.
And thatās her manuscript, laying bare all her bones.
Also please look up and understand what metaphors and symbolism means.
