cats don't even unstick their claws out of things anymore they will just sit there with their claw stuck in a blanket and look at you like this until you unstick it for them
Nobody wants to work anymore
thinking a lot about the pipeline from “give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other” to “holding tight to your quiet resentment”
high infidelity - taylor swift
@taylorswift: My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album. 2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed. I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can’t come soon enough ❤️
And you'll confess why you did it, and I'll say, "Good riddance" THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED
i hate it here - taylor swift
not to give a man credit but shout out to killatrav for pursuing his celeb crush who turned out to be an unhinged mess at the time and sticking around anyway to be her hype man
taylor: the fucking sky is falling and im going to die right now
travis kelce rolling up with a friendship bracelet:
I don’t have enough brain cells to understand who/what fortnight is about… the neighbor and husband references?
okay, so like taylor said, fortnight is sort of a prologue to the entire album. it references a lot of other songs (down bad, florida!!!, peter, guilty as sin?) there are a few different ways that it could be read, and i may not stick to this interpretation, but the below is where i landed.
fortnight sets the scene for the entire album and the events that are about to unfold by telling a story about an alternate reality about the future she was headed to in which she and joe ignore their problems, stay together, and build the life they're planning. she's in need of psychiatric help, she's drinking, she's depressed. but the other guy has re-entered her orbit. they're going to keep crossing paths. she feels insane. he's right there. she is insane. her husband cheats on her; she's enraged at him. the other guy is married to someone great; she's enraged at her too. she feels insane. she is insane, because she's fully consumed with the anger of following the bad path instead of taking the risk.
so at the end of the song, she decides she has to run for it. she has to move to america. she has to go to florida and start over. she has to buy the car and let him touch her instead of just daydreaming about it. because if she doesn't scratch the itch, if she doesn't see what happens, if she doesn't chase the guy that's been her "what else?" then well, how will she ever know? and the rest of the record is her realizing that maybe she wishes she hadn't.
"and so i was out of the oven into the microwave" pulls from the phrase "out of the frying pan into the fire," which describes jumping from one bad situation into a worse one (because you go from cooking in a pan to literally throwing it in the fire.) moving on from something that took its time (oven) straight into a situation that nuked it to get the same result, but faster, and worse.
give me back my girlhood it was mind first vs. I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free… the whole idea of something being taken vs. something being given but they both have somewhat similarly devastating consequences. I can’t imagine what it was like standing and staring at this guy she thought she was going to marry and seeing flickering mosaic pieces of all her previous traumas coming back bit by bit
THANKS I HATE IT
