Sometimes I remember The Archer is buried in an otherwise net mid album and it makes me feel craaaazy cuz it’s got some all timers. “I got a 100 thrown out speeches I almost said to you” like??? “I never grew up it’s getting so old” bro???? “All of my enemies started out friends” like wondering if you created all your own enemies SCREEEAM!!! “Cut off my nose just to spite my face and hate my reflection for years and years” like weeeeee yes giving into the urge to be recklessly self destructive just to feed the vengeful beast within and hating yourself for it!! The only person you hurt is yourself!!! And the slow build of “they see right through me” culminating in the desperate cries of “I SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME” like the ANGUISH and the realization that you’re the architect of your own misery and finally deciding for once in your life to do something about it no matter how uphill of a battle it’s going to be and the whole thing finishing on “I’m ready for combat” like what???? A masterpiece!!!!!!
#god these songs in her oeuvre are like the BEST dude#the fucking beeeeeeeest#also the shock for all the veteran swifties that she made a song that was so self aware#and recognizing her culpability for the first time ever in her own life#at the big age of thirty she was finally like hmmmmm maybe I’m not always a victim#and I can hmmmm sometimes cause harm to others and myself#sat at my desk that day floored and was so happy for her personal growth
