"A lot of the songs on The Tortured Poets Department deal with the idea of heartbreak, or loss, in a metaphor of something else. The metaphor in Down Bad is that I was comparing sort of the idea of being like, love-bombed, where someone like, you know, rocks your world and dazzles you and then just kind of abandons you, as an alien abduction, where you were abducted by aliens, like this girl was abducted by aliens, but she wanted to stay with them. And then when they drop her off back in her hometown, she's like, 'Wait, no. Where are you going? I liked it there! It was weird but it was cool. Come back' and so she's just like, the girl, the character in the song, just felt like, had just been exposed to a whole different galaxy and universe she didn't know was possible. How can you just put me back where I was before?"

quote of the year

[revengeoftheswift]

how it feels to be a veteran swiftie who has done this release day process (including the leaks a day before and people trying to convince you it's the worst thing she's ever put out only for it to turn out to be false) a million times over by now:

i think a lot of people are missing the point of the songs. the person behind the pronoun keeps changing. she’s expressing her feeling about joe via matty. for example in fortnight imo “all of this to say, i hope you’re okay, but you’re the reason, and no one here's to blame, but what about your quiet treason?” is about joe and then “and for a fortnight, there we were, forever running, till you sometimes ask about the weather, now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors” is about matty, and the “i love you, it’s ruining my life” is about both of them. also, based on your interpretation, you could switch people around to fit these songs because it seems they’re a lot alike… a lot of what she’s trying to say is “what happened between us [her & joe] drove me to be insane” and the insane part happened with matty, hence, he’s in all these songs. i think we need to think of these songs in hoax light aka about 2 or people at once

I’m gonna be having epiphanies about these lyrics until the near 2032 at this point how are you all gathering your thoughts on the first go around

[revengeoftheswift]

no it's actually really difficult for my brain to comprehend 31 songs at once.... think it'll take me a good two weeks to actually take it all in

[revengeoftheswift]

"This is a Joe Alwyn album" "This is a Matty Healy album" shut up shut up SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! Swifties are so annoying, this is a TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY IS YOUR FIRST REACTION TO ASSIGN THINGS TO A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!

[revengeoftheswift]

ending the whole double album with "but the story isn't mine anymore" is so sick actually 😭

[revengeoftheswift]

IM IN TEARS

[revengeoftheswift]

the reason we like taylor so much is because we are mentally ill, and this album proves it
