Heartbreaking lyrics from “poet” Taylor Swift in her new album: When love and poetry are brilliantly “damned”

Taylor Swift and the poetry in her new album are taking the world music industry by storm.

Setting an overwhelming record as the first artist in history to bring home 4 prestigious Grammy gold statues for the Album of the Year category, Taylor Swift celebrated a memorable career year with an unprecedented masterpiece. On American Independence Day April 19, the female singer born in 1989 released studio album No. 11 with 16 tracks, The Tortured Poets Department. After just 2 hours, Taylor Swift released 15 more songs with the extended title TTPD: The Anthology.

From the title, Taylor Swift promised to bring an artistic party where not only music sublimates, but also where the “poet” in her can freely sublimate. Taylor Swift returns to the familiar sounds that appeared in the era of folk-more (2 albums, folklore and evermore), bringing the synth-pop melody of Midnights as the backdrop for the stories she is ready to expose. The Tortured Poets Department – the most literal translation is “The Tortured Poets Department”, Taylor Swift “exiled” herself in a world of lyrical chaos.

Taylor’s writing is sharper than ever, The Tortured Poets Department is where she doesn’t hesitate to expose her healed wounds. The dreams of a broken love, or the harsh words sent to an old enemy – whose name cannot be mentioned, are all expressed through poetry. “Splendid chaos” is how experts describe Taylor Swift’s 11th album.

So what did Taylor Swift say?

The lyrics of The Tortured Poets Department are deeply dissected. It is not difficult to recognize that the central character of this album is the British poet Joe Alwyn. It was once a dream love affair, including marriage, but the love of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn was shattered by betrayal. So much so that she had to say “I love you, it’s ruining my life” (I love you, it’s ruining me) – Fortnight.

A love that went through all the stages from happiness, to clinging, until she realized “her guy just likes to destroy his favorite things”. Joe Alwyn thought it was “love of my life” – from Taylor, but in the end, it was all “loss of my life”. She can’t change anything.

To “London boy” these last words: So long, London Had a good run; A moment of warm sun But I’m not the one; So long London ;Stitches undone; Two graves, one gun; You’ll find someone” (_Goodbye, London Have a safe journey; That strip of warm sunshine; But you are no longer there; Goodbye, London; The wound has not yet healed; Two graves, one gun; You will find someone….) – So long, London.

“Breaking down, I hit the floor; All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting ‘more’; I was grinnin’ like I’m winnin’; I was hittin’ my marks; ‘Cause I can do it with a broken heart” (_Breaking down, I fell to the floor; Every broken piece of me vanished as the crowd cheered ‘more’; I smiled like I was a winner; I had achieved my ultimate goal; I can do with a broken heart). The 6-year relationship ended, even though it was extremely painful, Taylor Swift always appeared on stage in the most brilliant way. As she asserts, “I can do it with a broken heart.”

Without accidentally mentioning Charlie Puth, does Taylor really “agree that he should be bigger”? There are a lot of speculations behind Charlie Puth’s presence in The Tortured Department, she leaves fans to guess for themselves.

And to her past enemies, Taylor Swift has never forgotten the anger she unintentionally suffered because of unnecessary injustices. It was a story that once was, but will continue into the next life, when “your child comes home and sings a song that only the two of us know was written about you”. Taylor Swift told the world “See, when those guys are the bad guys.”

After all, Taylor Swift has done excellent work as a poet. A cruel reality, but beautiful through every note. Cruel and fierce, but The Tortured Poets Department is simply where love and poetry find each other in equal measure. “No revenge, no need to deal with anything else once the wound has healed,” Taylor Swift sends music lovers around the world a message of peace in the introduction to The Tortured Poets Deparment.
