Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

#this is truly the mood recently - i can relate to at least 2 of these hypothetical 20-somethings

Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon? | The mark thеy saw on my collarbone/the rust that grew bеtween telephones/ the lips I used to call home/ so scarlet, it was maroon

#chloe or sam or sophia or marcus #maroon #a very obvious parallel but interesting #also i love chloe or sam... just a great track and the delivery is gorgeous #the tortured poets department #tswiftedit #taylor swift #thegirlwiththecinderblockgarden

it’s literally the same intro and it sends me every time

#haha i think its just a very simple beat but you're right #anyway i think melancholy parx songs like high definition kinda vibe very well with TTPD

:/

#people being all like why is she wasting so much breath on m*tty and barely addressing her longterm relationship #firstly i do feel she speaks about it but also she CLEARLY alludes to the fact that its all raw and difficult to process and express #like How Did It End is literally the answer to these peoples questions and its making me a little upset #anyway! #this isn't even touching on how assigning songs to specific people is a stupid way to understand art

#I Look in People’s Windows #tswiftedit #the tortured poets department #taylor swift #this one is so short but it really hits #just very pretty and the imagery is so sad and wistful

[thegirlwiththecinderblockgarden]

And you'll confess why you did it, and I'll say, "Good riddance" THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED

Taylor Swift - THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT

#taylor swift #the tortured poets department

[thegirlwiththecinderblockgarden]

i need y'all to understand that there are joe love songs on the acceptance playlist too. daylight, long story short, invisible string

the playlists aren't about casting her entire relationships aside. they're about acknowledging that in big moments and big feelings, things are complex

the denial playlist is about a belief in something, anger is about finding self respect, bargaining is about losing that self respect in your belief, depression is the admission of that, and acceptance is about giving yourself grace

like it's about a theme, not her telling us little lover is toxic!! it's in the denial playlist because it shows and overwhelming belief in this relationship like y'all put the pieces together and stop looking so close i'm begging you

#thanks for expressing this in a way that’s coherent cuz i have 100% been on the same wavelength but couldn’t explain it well #taylor swift

[thegirlwiththecinderblockgarden]

this current swiftie sentiment of like wowww people who used lover as their wedding song must be embarrassed 🫣 is so weird bc like the song is still romantic? you can only feel the exact same emotions as the songwriter?

#yeah like songs are very short snapshots into feelings and also very strongly affected by the listener! so you can interpret them many ways #also like i think people are latching onto the stages of grief when i feel taylor making the playlists was also looking at the text #and i love you its ruining my life and delusion can be interpreted more or less negatively depending on framing? #anyway i am not capable of expressing my thoughts coherently #but suffice it to say i don't think we should be redefining every interpretation of a song based on a PLAYLIST of all things #taylor swift #lover

sydney my love for you is unending 😭 5500 people!!! i decided to spontaneously sing a song i’d written a year ago in my hotel room the last time i’d been in sydney and played a magical show at the metro, and it was one of my favourite moments on stage ever 🥲 <3 just one show left on this tour now, and it’s the biggest one yet in melbourne let’s go 🪄
