Men are more interesting in books than they are in real life.

[swiftlytay1989]

wow tomorrow night taylor will officially own half of her first six albums

[swiftlytay1989]

long live tv

[swiftlytay1989]

the silence in you’re losing me is so powerful because taylor’s known for her amazing lyricism but when the chorus is just “stop…you’re losing me…stop…” etc the silence really makes you feel her anguish more than any filler words could

[swiftlytay1989]

Taylor writing song after song about how she worked so hard to make sure she would never lose him to her writing a song about how he didn’t even notice or care that he needed to try and keep her is

You’re losing me (2023)

NOT THE ONION

The implications of a song called “You’re Losing Me” during this economy…

[swiftlytay1989]

But also I feel like this is so fucking relatable when a man won’t just be the bad guy and break up with you but instead drags this shit out and forces you to be the bad guy and break it off even though you were the only one still trying.

speak now taylor singing “i would lay my armour down if you said youd rather love than fight” then red taylor singing “this is the worthwhile fight love is a ruthless game unless you play it right” then lover taylor singing “threw out our cloaks and our daggars because its morning now its brighter now” then evermore taylor singing “when i dropped my sword i threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door and we live in peace” and now midnights taylor singing “and all i did was bleed as i tried to be the bravest soldier fighting it all with your army”

[swiftlytay1989]

Thinking about the implications of the pipeline between “do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?” and her quite literally putting her heartbeat stopping in a song that repeatedly says “you’re losing me, I can’t find a pulse…”

[swiftlytay1989]

I know the reaction to You’re Losing Me is overwhelmingly sad rn but I do think in a glass is half full way there are also positives. You’ll never find what you want in life and what fits you specifically without also learning what doesn’t work

[swiftlytay1989]

You know things are fucked up when hoax of all songs starts making more sense

[swiftlytay1989]

the lyrics to you’re losing me have utterly destroyed me i’m at a loss right now

[swiftlytay1989]

at this point, there isn't anything new to be said about taylor/matty but it really is upsetting that after things blew up with the buzzfeed article, she doubled down and is still seeing him. it's even beyond hypocritical given the things she's said over the years and how quickly she's rightfully stood up for herself against sexist comments (ginny and georgia, damon albarn). the idea of being intimate with a racist, especially one that enjoys brutality, should be revolting but continuing to see them really says something about your character despite it not being what you believe in. i hate to assume the worst and nor I am wanting to doing that but is he worth it? is he worth her losing her morals?

You’re Losing Me

You say you 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 looking at this room, we loved it ‘cause of the light Now I just sit in the dark and wonder if it’s time

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? I’m getting tired even for a phoenix always rising from the ashes  Mending all my gashes You might just have dealt the final blow

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

Every morning I glared at you with storms in my eyes How can you say that you love someone you can’t tell has died? 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 

And the air is thick with loss and indecision I know my pain is such an imposition, now you’re running down the hallway Like you know what they all say Don’t know what you got until its gone

Stop, you’re losing me 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

Cause you’re losing me Stop, you’re losing me My heart won’t start anymore/Stop, you’re losing me My heart won’t start anymore/Stop, you’re losing me

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 mes, my endless empathy, and all I did was bleed As I tried to be the bravest soldier fighting in only your army Front lines, 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 But I only wanted you to see her, and I’m fading thinking Do something babe, say something Lose something babe, risk something Choose something babe, I got nothing To believe Unless you’re choosing me 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
