Sunshine, ragtime, blowing in the breeze
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease

Getaway Car / august / The Other Side of the Door mashup lyrics (Melbourne Night 2)
Aaaand their possible connection to The Tortured Poets Department
I’m going to do this for each of the mashups she performed at the 2024 shows, because I firmly believe that she chose the songs for a reason and arranged the lyrics / switched between songs carefully to craft entirely new stories. A lot of the themes those songs hinted at have since been explored in detail on the new album. This mashup, which discusses the concept of cheating from three different perspectives, is perhaps the best example. She switches POVs between the cheater in the getaway car, the other woman realizing she never had her lover in the first place, and the woman who had to leave after being cheated on but still misses her ex.
Taylor switches to the chorus of august
back to Getaway Car
and onto the outro of The Other Side of the Door
She wants to leave her relationship, and this man is the perfect getaway car/‘reason’ for her to do so. Of course she would leave. She quickly realizes that the new relationship is doomed as well. They never had a shot. He was never hers. The entire relationship seemed to only last a single month and was over when the summer ended. At the end of the mashup, she assumes the position of the woman who was cheated on. Was she worth this mess? I need you.

The birth flowers of August are Gladiolus and Poppy, symbolising... well, depends who you ask. I'll pick perseverence and imagination.
