it makes me sad thinking about how ttpd is most likely going to be like reputation in that it’ll be viewed through the lens of how people perceive her at the time of its release instead of as a body of work. when rep came out people wanted to see her as a child trying to be edgy and throwing a tantrum and now they want to see her as someone who thinks she’s a super deep enlightened poet, the content of the album doesn’t actually matter. it will only be appreciated when it’s divorced from the most popular narrative of who she is as a person that was circulating when the album came out.

fitting she added history of man to her preshow playlist “stole her youth and promised heaven” is literally the thesis of ttpd

Getting a little teary eyed over the fact that “Begin Again” is all about rediscovering your faith in love thanks to a new connection and the music video was shot in Paris and all of these years later she’s singing that song in that same city and has mashed it up with a song called “Paris” all about being deeply in love.

#ttpd analysis day thirteen - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

so fun fact, when I first listened to ttpd I hadn't read the prologue (does this make me a bad swiftie? lol) but so when i first heard ICDIWABH i texted one of my friends "this song sounds like mania". i know now that she referred to the relationship itself as the mania but following heartbreak, some people can be purposefully self destructive/harmful, and in that same vein i think some people refuse to process events when they've recently happened and occupy their mind with other things (hello denial stage). so basically that is ICDIWABH in a nutshell

so the lyrics of ICDIWABH are worrisome and extreme (and dare I say, unfortunately painfully relatable). to couple those lyrics with the upbeat, speedy production, the whole song sounds like avant-garde dadaism, basically

Dada was an art movement formed during the First World War in Zurich in negative reaction to the horrors and folly of the war. The art, poetry and performance produced by dada artists is often satirical and nonsensical in nature.

lights, camera, bitch, smile, even when you wanna die

I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art

I'm miserable! and nobody even knows!

once you get past the satirical production and first verse, there are some parallels to Hits Different (which also has an upbeat production):

I keep finding his things in drawers crucial evidence, I didn't imagine the whole thing/I find the artifacts, cried over a hat

one of the lyrics that stands out to me in ICDIWABH is I can pass this test. it can go a lot of different ways and I think that's why it resonates. it makes me think of TIMT and fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here, Bejeweled did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve, and even Dear John's never impressed by me acing your tests. it could be indicative of the relationship itself being a test (to the public), or the muses partner testing the narrator. given the context of the song, it's likely the narrator saying i can show everyone I'm fine but it wasn't true
