Obviously we have to wait for the video to know the story, but for anyone who’s studied any kind of social history/psychology/sociology/etc. And knows a little about the diagnosis of hysteria, Victorian mores, the use of lobotomies/shock therapy/etc to treat women who failed to live up to patriarchal ideals and the minimizing of women’s physical and mental health issues historically in the medical and psychiatric fields plus the old Hollywood of it all… the imagery is Telling The Story. I am fucking SEATED.

i think a lot of people are missing the point of the songs. the person behind the pronoun keeps changing. she’s expressing her feelings 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, run into 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

Not to be all “I listen to Taylor Swift in a deeper and intellectual way” meme but I am seeing some people just not getting this album at all and I am a bit surprised by it.

#taylor swift #ttpd #the tortured poets department #like some people are just missing the point completely #I feel like she’s the most vulnerable and honest she’s ever been and people are mad at it? don’t like her approach to it? #and the whole thing is about just letting everything exist and feel it in order to move on from it #and not shrinking yourself to fit expectations

i just think the eclipse happening on apollo lester papadoupolos’ birthday is very iconic.

“at dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on and that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding” made me feel lots of things

#ttpd #is the best song #like all the details #that make it feel so incredible and real and then the sadness with them #the tortured poets department #ttpd song #taylor swift #wctp #ttpd release

Ok so when are we gonna start acknowledging the parallels between imgonnagetyouback by Taylor and Get Him Back! By Olivia lmaoo

#both good songs but it kind of feels like a pending lawsuit lol #taylor swift #olivia rodrigo #the tortured poets department

Wisteria Blooms

I was walking home today when I realized the wisteria hanging from the tree on the hill had already started falling off.

I had meant to take a picture of it last week because I thought it was so pretty. I didn’t think it would be gone so soon.

-

I wonder what else I’ve missed my chance to do because I didn’t think it was the right time.

“The crowd goes wild at her fingertips/half moonshine, full eclipse” — I don’t mean to overthink (lol) before the songs come out but taken like this (after seeing it set to eras gifs) I love the interpretation I’ve seen that it’s like, she gets on stage and the roar of the crowd is an intoxicating tonic that momentarily overshadows whatever she’s going through. Or, that the magic she creates intoxicates the crowd, all eyes on her in total rapture.

Idk idk idk I know these songs are going to just grab me in a chokehold

#the tortured poets department #the ‘half moonshine’ is sending me for its multiple meanings #the obvious being home brew liquor #it already sounds like such a banger lyric lol #and I’m sooooooo intrigued with it in relation to full eclipse #like the eclipse is a thing that hides something else #but it also absolutely draws attention and captivates people #it’s fleeting and otherworldly and is over before you know it #but for a moment in time it’s all anyone can see and feel #(but there’s also the darker side of how the moon covers the moon — but even then #the sun still pops out from behind begging to be seen and it creates the most mesmerizing show)

The way Taylor repeatedly talks about how she feels like her youth was drained and taken and is upset about feeling that way on multiple songs on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT and in “So High School” she compares this new relationship to making her feel like she’s back in high school is just so lovely.

#taylor swift #ttpd #the tortured poets department #like she’s realizing that maybe it wasn’t completely lost and you just needed to find someone to remind you of those feelings #was thinking about this while listening to the album in the car

What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly I choose you and me religiously

#good omens #ineffable bureaucracy #boxfly #gabriel x beelzebub #beelzebub x gabriel #THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT #happy tortured poets release day everyone #I cried listening to this because I'm instantly reminded to them #the whole album feels more like ineffable divorce tho #cw nudity

ttpd song predictions: the tortured poets department

what is it like to feel like you will always be hurting? you will always be the tortured poet, drawing pieces out of yourself to make art. your partner shuts you out or you shut out your partner and retreat into the misery because it's the only way to make sense of the world. you don't know how to exist if you aren't suffering. it must be exhausting.

#tswiftedit #taylorswiftedit #taylor swift #the tortured poets department #taylor swift lyrics #ttpdpredictions #this was another hard one in that i really don't know wtf it's going to sound like or be about #and i feel like it could easily be a complete switch-up and possibly even be a bop #or satirical a la blank space the most infamous track 2 ever #but i think it'll be some combo of being about writing and about being a mess #and how being a tortured poet (whether its you or your partner) in a relationship can lead to its unravelling #mine #taylor
