You'd never know she was going through a breakup

There ain't a single tear messing up her makeup

He thought she'd be sitting home crying

She ain't going out like that

She's had enough of feeling like dying

She ain't going out like that

Everybody, here comes the life of the party

Yeah, she is

He might have left her brokenhearted

But she ain't going, going out like that

Chapters 11 and 12 are live!

🎄🎄🎄🎄

December 24, 1990

Steve, still in his pajama pants and a soft grey sweatshirt, walks into his already occupied kitchen at 8:30am, seeking coffee and maybe a Christmas cookie or two. Nancy and Robin are both fully dressed, slacks and a pastel sweater for Nancy, a t-shirt and flannel over jeans for Robin. The little portable radio on the counter plays softly, “Silver Bells”, Steve thinks.

“Where are you two going so early?” He asks as he fills his mug. He knows it’s only a matter of time before they leave his house for one of their own, and he tries really hard not to think about it. About how everything is changing.

“Karen asked for everyone’s help doing last minute wrapping for the toy drive tonight,” Robin answers. She and Nancy share an affectionate, exasperated glance.

“The other person who volunteered bailed,” Nancy rolls her eyes.

“So, you guys, Mike, and Holly have to pick up the slack?”

“You got it,” Robin pokes him just above his belly button. He swats her away, and they tussle around the kitchen under Nancy’s fond gaze.

“Silver Bells” fades out, replaced by three, reverberating somber guitar chords that make Steve freeze in his tracks. Robin leaps across the kitchen, slamming the radio into the wall in her haste to hit the power button.

“Sorry,” she says, her face is red and he’s not sure if it’s exertion or embarrassment coloring her cheeks.

“It’s fine,” he makes himself say, though his heart races and he’s a little bit dizzy.

Steve hasn’t listened to the radio since July. Not since the night he and Henderson drove home from the drive-in a few towns over and the DJ had said, “Got a new one for ya tonight. Early buzz is calling it the next great break-up anthem,” and those three chords played through the Beemer’s speakers, followed by the hollow rasp of Eddie’s voice. The song that followed, where Eddie tightroped between rage and brokenhearted melancholy, had almost driven Steve off the road. Then the last note growled from Eddie’s lips bit off in an obviously stifled sob, and Steve pulled over, had a full-blown panic attack with Dustin in the passenger’s seat. By the time Steve’s face was dry and his breathing even, Dustin felt comfortable joking, “at least it’s got anthem potential?” to ease the tension. It didn’t make Steve laugh, but he did smile.

Back in the present, he takes a sip of his coffee and grabs a cookie, determined to ignore the worried glances the two women share. He’s fine, though. He just doesn’t like to hear the song unexpectedly, and it’s fine. Normal, really. Nothing at all weird about being the, now internationally reviled, inspiration behind the song that sat at number one on the Top 40 for six weeks.

To show just how regular and fine he is, he asks, “Know when you guys should be getting back?”

Nancy answers, “Everything needs to be at the Community Center by 5, so. Before that.”

“Cool. I think everyone else should start getting in around 3.”

Steve takes a bite of peanut butter cookie, and Nancy ruffles his hair as she passes to the front door. He thinks he’s avoided any heavy scrutiny about the song, but Robin leans down and presses a kiss to his forehead. They’re physically affectionate—he’s one of the few people that Robin allows to touch her—but usually it isn’t gentle kisses on the head unless he’s having an active breakdown. He resists the urge to smack her away for seeing him too clearly. Instead, he wraps an arm around her waist and tugs her close, squeezing his eyes shut as he’s briefly assaulted by all the memories he’s trying not to have.

She doesn’t bother with any platitudes to assure him. Robin fully understands how much it sucks, how bad it hurts, she just hugs him as tightly as she can in her wiry arms. It cheers him up and also doesn’t, because he and Eddie are most definitely over in every way, and that was way before Eddie wrote a song about Steve that Eddie can’t sing without sobbing. So.

Steve’s fine, is the important thing. He can’t listen to the radio anymore, but he’s got plenty of tapes. He can’t talk to his best friend-slash-love of his life anymore, but he can—no, there’s no good way to twist this one. He misses Eddie so much it’s a permanent physical ache in his sternum. But Steve is coping. He is. School is good and his teams are good, and so what if all his kids aside from Erica left for college? It’s fine. He’s fine. Great, really.

Some images from Obstacle 1 music video to point out symbolism.

1. There is an exit sign behind the woman wearing leather boots and a fur coat. She seems like ready to leave the building. But the music played by the band in another part of this unidentified building of rather cold and clinical vibe, forces her to enter a specific space in the building rather than leave it altogether. Notice the image on the wall depicting two zebras. The color of her outfit and hair corresponds with the color of the animals and when she takes her coat of, she even reveals a striped shirt. Not black and white, but a red and white corresponding to the background of the image.

2. - 3. She starts to dance like she is in a trance of somekind and is captivated by the force and words expressed in the music. The space she enters is made out of wood and has some warm yellow light in it. The space stands out being more intimate and warm than the rest of the building. It is like she still has, or the other protagonist wants to force her back to, imagine, to taste the warmth and electricity of their relationship once more before ending it and leaving the now unintimate, cold lighted, clinical, lofty, empty, white washed surroundings corresponding to what the relationship has now become and thus ended. Notice another reference to wild animals: there are wild big feline cat heads next to her and her pants are like she has been attacked. Makes my mind trip to OLTA art work and wild animal symbolism in Interpol’s lyrics in general representing deep, instictive and powerful forces at work in love relationships. Potential of hurt/hurting, hunter/game .

4. There are wires. Everywhere. It enforces the idea of emotional and sexual connections running throughout the building - the relationship. She is dancing on wires connected with the wires in the room where the band is playing. The band playes in a cold, vast space, telling of cold or violent feelings. When the glass of water (with ice cubes - cold, violent, resenting emotions) is made fall by a wire connected to Paul’s guitar, Sam hitting the drum in the moment when the glass starts to fall, Carlos sliding the bass right when the water starts to fall on to the other room level and Daniel making moves that resemble the moves of the woman - all these bring about a feeling of intense connection, hypnosis, a sense of electrifying force (emotional-sexual relations) and its lethal coupling with broken glass of water (broken heart, bitter, desperate, yearning, violent, controlling emotions, frustration).

5. Captivated by the music she does not notice the water until it is too late. She dies when the other protagonists emotions (water) reach the wires underneath her feet. Just few moment before, Paul slides his hand tenderly and sensually along the mic stand, revealing still deep seated feelings towards the lost love who broke his heart. It reveals the other protagonist’s vulnerability hidden behind the now seemingly cold, controlling and aggressive exterior (which the whole band actually symbolises or is an expression of).

6. At the end we see a reflection in the water resembling the scene in the first picture but now she is standing her back to the camera and suggesting she is actually leaving the building. The thing we just saw happening to her happened just in the imagination of the mind of the other protagonist filled with mixed feelings of hurt, longing, love, bitterness and denial.

August

youtube

came to

Woke up and remembered

September was due

All this

He knew

The summer was done for

The sunflowers had bloomed

So he stood up strait

Brushed the grass away

(Put his jacket on)

He’d come back someday

He knew he couldn’t stay

Not with the summer almost over

Goodbye

Too soon

To all the cicadas

The songs of the loon

July

And June

Are well on their way now

And he should be too

But when I looked into his alabaster eyes

He took my hand

And when the leaves began to turn and start to die

Took me to dance

And when the autumn breezes started blowing in

Gave me a kiss

And when September hurricanes began to spin

I told him this:

“August

You fool

The days have got shorter

The air has got cool

August

The moon

Been waiting for days now

The season is through

But for you I’ll wait

We can celebrate

Every night and day”

And that’s why they say

That to this very day

There ain’t no holidays in August

You broke me to pieces, but I root for you even though everything went up in flames

I’ll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze or your wall of guitars or your video games

Everything I did for you was it for nothing?…

Cuz it sure feels like I’ve wasted all my time.

But despite the mess you made I love you regardless.

I know you’re feeling heartless but I’m still holding on…

In-Depth Analysis of "You're Losing Me" by Taylor Swift

Pt. 1(?)

__________________

So this first part, I'm just gonna go line by line and point out comparisons to other songs or possible hidden meanings.

________________

[Verse 1]

You say, "I 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 lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light

Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time

Damn, it gets deep reallll fast. Clearly from the first line, Taylor broke up with Joe, not vice versa, and he was confused why. The second line refers to the later line about being sick. She compares their relationship to a terminal illness.

The third line is a reference to Daylight, and the fourth line is contrasting like three. I wonder if it's a reference to her (possibly) writing the song before they broke up but she thought they might, so the song is the one sitting in the dark wondering if it's time, to be recorded and let the world know what happened.

[Pre-Chorus]

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?

I'm getting tired even for a phoenix

Always risin' from the ashes

Mendin' all her gashes

You might just have dealt the final blow

Obviously the first line is a reference to the Lover House rooms being empty and later burned down during The Eras Tour. Taylor compared herself to a phoenix rising from the ashes, a reference to Reputation. Taylor has come back from so many things, but she doesn't want to repeat that cycle with her lover, Joe. The "final blow" is a mystery, but I have to think (going by the bridge) it was Joe's refusal to get married.

[Chorus]

Stop, you're losing me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore for you

'Cause you're losing me

I interpret this chorus as Joe upsetting Taylor and she's asking him to stop before he loses her, but he doesn't. By the third time, it has killed the relationship, and her "heart won't start anymore, for" Joe. 💔

[Verse 2]

Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes

How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?

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

Storms in my eyes could be a reference to Ready For It? MV, where she has lighting in her eyes, but the line is saying that she was troubled and you could see it, but he never did. The second line is just heartbreaking- but that and the fourth line are a direct reference to All Too Well's "dead, gone, buried/come back swearing it's the same". The third line is a reference to Exile (that they wrote together) saying "I gave so many signs"; it's also referencing the anxiety she's had in the relationship lately.

[Pre-Chorus]

And the air is thick with loss and indecision

I know my pain is such an imposition

Now, you're running down the hallway

And you know what they all say

"You don't know what you got until it's gone"

Joe clearly is not able to make a decision about furthering the relationship. Taylor feels like her pain of not getting married or taking the next step in the relationship is just annoying to Joe, and not something he cares about. The hallway could be a reference to Maroon "standing hollow-eyed in the hallway", but Joe runs down the hallway to get away. The hallway line could also be furthering the picture of the relationship being terminally ill, and he leaves the hospital room (to the hallway) because he can't take it. The 3rd and 4th lines show their regret and pain at it ending, but know they can't go back.

[Post-Chorus]

My heart won't start anymore (Stop 'cause you're losing me)

I think the post chorus is cool (in the saddest way) with the heart beat stopping at these lines.

[Bridge]

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 me's, my endless empathy

And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

Fighting in only your army, frontlines, 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

Who only wanted you to see her

AHHH the best part. This bridge is sooo sad, but very eye-opening. I think the first 2 lines are referencing the songs they wrote together (the majority of them have sad overtones), but now THEY are becoming the sad song, and again, he ignores it. The 3rd lines is a direct reference to Mirrorball, with "all my best me's" paralleling with "I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me." "The bravest soldier" line and the 4th and 5th line are a reference to The Great War. She's taking the worst of the arguments and battles, but he, again, ignores her pain. The 6th line is a reference to YOYOK, "I searched the party/just to learn you never cared."

Now the SADDEST part of the whole song T-T. "I wouldn't marry me either", clearly means Joe didn't want to marry her, and she blames herself for that, calling herself a "pathological people pleaser." Her goal in people pleasing, though, is so that he would see her. Very clear reference to the chorus of tolerate it.

And I'm fading, thinkin'

"Do something, babe, say something" (Say something)

"Lose something, babe, risk something" (You're losing me)

"Choose something, babe, I got nothing" (I got nothing)

"To believe, unless you're choosing me"

Taylor is now begging Joe to take action, in any way. Say something, take a risk, lose, and choose her. The chorus after tells us he doesn't. The last two lines here are a reference to hoax, "your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in."

_________________________

All in all, this is my all-time favorite Taylor Swift song. There's so much more to dive into (I spent hours talking about it yesterday) so I'll probably do a part two with more stuff! Anyway, let me know what you think of the song!
