#and how it implies that he shook her faith so much that its disrupting her entire lazarus process

[weird-life-of-a-closet-fangirl]

I keep thinking about the line "the tomb won't close" from would've could've should've in relation to Lazarus from the bible. For Lazarus to come back to life, he had to be sealed in that tomb. He spent four days in that tomb, dead, before he was brought back to life. Taylor says "the tomb won't close" and asks "why won't it die" and I keep thinking about Lazarus, and how he had to die and his tomb had to be sealed before he was brought back to life, and how this tomb isn't closing, isn't sealing, isn't letting her come back to the world of the living. She's stuck in limbo, half dead and half alive, half damaged and half healed, and the tomb isn't closing.

#midnights #midnights 3 am version #taylor swift #would've could've should've #GOD REST MY SOUL I MISS WHO I USED TO BE #this song has fundamentally altered my brain chemistry #also lets not think too much about 'you're a crisis of my faith' and how lazarus was actually one of jesus' most faithful friends #and how it implies that he shook her faith so much that its disrupting her entire lazarus process #no healing through faith #in something #doesnt necessarily have to be religion #but she has no faith in anything that could help her heal because he shook her up so much #I COULD GO INTO DETAIL WITH ALL THE RELIGIOUS IMAGERY IN THIS SONG #but i wont i have a surgery due at 11:59
