The moment Taylor said this album was those three things, I knew she was *projecting* what she wished she was into her speech. What she *wants* to be in front of exes and naysayers. Here's just a nonexhaustive list of quotes from each song that prove she's -

Unhappy

Deeply insecure

Chained to her own arrogance

Ophelia - details drowning in melancholy without the aid of another, losing sanity. She couldn't get herself well.

Elizabeth Taylor - questioning his fidelity- stating she has everything and nothing, and would weep if he left.

Opalite - "this life will beat you up"

Father Figure - is that a death threat we hear?

Eldest daughter - calls herself a lamb to the slaughter.

Ruin the friendship - what in the.... Talking about a guy you think A) you could have stolen from his girl with one kiss B) saved ....?... C) implicitly avoided then being *with your current fiance*, if y'all had just kissed...

Actually romantic - sooo a girl is more obsessed with her than her own fiance? Loves her more than her fiance does?

Wi$h Li$t - wanting the world to leave her alone (sure, Jan).

Wood - methinks thou doest protest too much. Honesty doesn't scream from the rooftops like this song.

Cancelled - "Tone deaf and hot, let's ... off her"

"And soon you'll learn the art of never getting caught"

(Very happy and free lyrics, no ?...)

Honey - opening quote -

"When anyone called me 'Sweetheart'

It was passive-aggressive at the bar

And the b** was tellin' me to back off

'Cause her man had looked at me wrong"

LOAS - again calling women the b word - wanting her to die. And says she's hiding her pain behind lace.

Like girl.... If you want to seem intelligent.... Write songs that match with your visuals and proclamations of how you feel. This wasn't it.

EDIT: thanks for the awards!
