I can't pretend like I understand, how did it end?...

The Tortured Poets Department Lyrics: Vintage Collection - Track 21/31

@taylorswift @taylornation

Tip me?

[swiftiesbuddie]

the songs from the anthology

[idkkprincess]

So, How Did It End?

Say it once again with feeling

How death rattle breathing

Silenced as the soul was leaving

The deflation of our dreaming

Leaving me bereft and reeling

My beloved ghost and me

Sitting in a tree

D-Y-I-N-G

How Did It End? - Taylor Swift (The Tortured Poets Department)

my boyfriend and I are doing well, just had our 1 year anniversary and are about to put down a deposit on an apartment together. but damn I listen to How Did It End? and I think about how I would want to dissolve if I could ever relate that song to him. Actively cry to that song

[filmsnevermade]

also god the parallels between how did it end and right where you left me..both about being stuck in the midst of deep heartbreak while others gossip around you 😵‍💫

“Well, thanks, guys! This is a little one that I re-fell in love with while re-recording. It’s about how horrible being famous is.” — TAYLOR BEFORE PLAYING THE LUCKY ONE (PIANO) IN ARLINGTON, TX, ON APRIL 2nd

I still have not listened to TTPD enough to have very many concrete thoughts, but NOTHING blows me away as fast as the simple piano + vocalization combo in the intro of How Did It End?

How Did It End is for the people who have lived a thousand lives because nothing ever works out for them and each time they think they've got it right, something comes to destroy it.

[please-picturemeintheweeds]

How Did It End really gets to me as a person who has never explained anything I ever did or what happened to me in my life. (Besides to strangers on the internet and my therapists) I needed that song so much and so glad she created it and it must be hard being a singer-songwriter and famous person with lots of intense fans and people expecting answers you don't even have about things which really hurt.

Yeah I have no idea how she does it, and I feel like TTPD really digs into that… like how mind altering that would be. The first thought I had upon hearing it was that it sounds like a court jester’s song. Gather around to hear the tale!!! “Mine play out like fools in a fable” (the prophecy).

but also, who hasn’t had that experience of having to make the rounds to tell everyone in your life about a devastating break up? a death fits here too. The empathetic hunger descends like a funeral dirge and you have to just keep repeating it to everyone!

One of my partner’s friends is getting divorced and they ANNOUNCED IT ON THEIR INSTAGRAM STORY WITH JOKE ABOUT THIS EXACT THING! Like! “Im getting divorced, lol now I don’t have to text everyone! surprise! Sorry mom!” Which just makes me think about how public figures of all kinds have to give press releases about this kind of thing all the time, and how privacy is a privilege (that most people willingly give up, but that’s a rant for another day).

I MEAN CANONICALLY IT IS IMPLIED HE TAKES CARE OF THE CASINO'S FINANCIAL THINGS HIMSELF. He even has a home screen voiceline on spring nights about how busy he is running the books lol

I can't imagine he trusts anyone else to do it. . .especially since paying someone else to do it would cut into those profits! It's bad enough he has to pay the casino's employees. He can do math on his own thank you.

Every time i see tdb ask blogs around i'm like

I should. Make one.

But i can't even answer my own asks in a timely manner

(and someone is already doing the one i'm sitting on a url for)

But consider

I'd do Pretty Fucking Okay at a few characters.
