The Tortured Poets Department, latelest Taylor Swift album, has dropped us again with the lyrical and poetic review of her latelest dating status, analyzing again through her writting, the very moves of her relationships

In all of the 16 songs (not including The Tortured Poets Department; The Antology songs, seriously this woman doesn’t sleep) there is certain lyrics that could be overanalyzed because of the meaning someone can contextualize it by knowing the background story

I think some things I never say

Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?"

Taylor had just broke up with 6yearrelationshipbutnoring (better know as Joe Alwyn), even though is a self-made business woman we can understand the necesity she felt to not condemn or mock every of his decisions, keeping her mouth shut for the “wellness” of their relationship

When you start a relationship after spending years feeling like someone too complicated to have a relationship with (ME! Reflects Taylor necesity to reassure Joe that even after all of her mistakes she was capable of loving him more tan anybody, in now a acknowledged attemp to try to kept him) there is a necesity to keep everyone who is still left, and the ones that are coming around, close to you

You wouldn't last an hour

in the asylum where they raised me

Taylor was not raised in an asylum, but let's not forget, where she was also raised, the musical industry, she spent since she was 17 the very feeling of being famous and being in the eye of the storm in every magazine, all of the comments she had since the beginning of her career had constructed her mind and are now part of her

I can read your mind

"She's having the time of her life"

Taylor spent most of her break up in stage, performing for us, putting a smile on her face and glittery costumes to hide the sadness of her love life, when various of her songs are base on the love she felt with Joe (Delicate, Lover, etc) Performing not only her songs but a false happiness and joy.

Through some of the shows we can see the changes, The Lover house in fire, the change from Invisible String to The one, from explaining how they were meant to be to how they could have been perfect together.
