I am particularly intrigued by each of the bonus tracks because as we saw with Midnights, the fact that these songs usually remain mostly within the fandom because they're more shielded from the radar of the "general public/locals" gives her a lot of freedom to be even more honest and raw, and also to address topics that are more uncomfortable and/or controversial (see: all the tracks in the 3am edition).
We know The Black Dog is most likely referencing impending depression. I'm so curious to see if it'll talk about that period of all-consuming sadness that happened after the breakup and the rebound, or if it will actually be about a period where she was deeply depressed during the last years of their rs OR, which is what I feel is more likely for some reason, if there was a period where both Taylor and Joe were very depressed but together, bc of something that happened that they had to face together and were both deeply sad about. The death of a loved one, the loss of something, the end of a period of time where they were both happy in their rs and had the right balance, a disappointing outcome to something one or both of them worked really hard on, the crumbling of something they were expecting or looking forward to that ultimately couldn't happen. So many possibilities, these are just very general descriptions.
We know a big aspect of their dynamic was being sad together and reflecting about life, often through that sadness. In LPSS, when explaining hoax, Taylor talks about how she thinks a part of love is "who would you be sad with?". It's quite interesting how this is such a strong recurrent theme in the art she made with Joe as a muse. "I'm with you even if it makes me blue", "Don't want no other shade of blue but you, no other sadness in the world would do", "The rain is always gonna come if you stand in with me", "I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm, if your cascade ocean wave blues come", "Those Windemere peaks look like a perfect place to cry", "I want auroras and sad prose", "I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursed", "You don't really read into my melancholia", "Tears on the letter, I vowed not to cry anymore if we survived the Great War", "why don't you rain on my parade? Shred my evening gown, read my sentence out loud, cause I love this curse on our house", "how long could we be a sad song till we were too far gone to bring back to life?".

Falling Down One Fateful Day...
“We were all enjoying our time together, eating, talking, playing, and watching the sunset. What went wrong? We were enjoying ourselves, so why? Why are we falling down? Do you know why? Why?
Even if there's no answer, I suppose I luckily had grabbed Rune, even though we’re all falling down, I will protect him. I will protect him, always. Always, always, always. He's my number one priority, as his friend, he deserves to be protected! That and he's the prince afterall. Though is it shameful to say because I want him to rely on me like he's a little princess and I'm his prince charming?
Listening to everyone screaming as we fell down, some louder than others. I was too busy focusing on keeping Rune safe, how can I cushion his fall? How can I save him?? How can I help him?? Where are we falling?
We were falling for what felt like eternity…that is until everything went black..” - Chapter One, CP Clouds: Fates of Chess
