saying "get help" is so condescending (unless its funny. and even then it could be funny because of that not despite it and now im getting caught up in technicalities) but really truly actually taylor swift needs some help from someone who doesn't like her recent music. and doesn't think all her decisions are great. the problem is she dismisses all crit by fans (fair enough, We Don't Know You) and loses respect for anyone bigger if they have anything not as peachy to say about her as the cultural zeitgeist does. sad! at least we'll always have love story 2008

When the song's lyrics fit the silly guy perfectly but you aren't sure about the instrumental part

There’s something about the chorus of “obsessed” (I don’t know if it’s the vocal delivery, melody, underlying beat or something else) that reminds me of the chorus of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

fuck man.
what a hollow fucking ending to an album that - in my most uncharitable yet instinctual read - displays a complete lack of self-reflection.
throughout my initial listen, i felt this lifeless resignation to performance, to creating art to speak truth to experience. i felt the labor in the construction of each song, and not in the good, 'each piece of this puzzle was masterfully maneuvered into its place' way. in the 'i fought tooth and nail against my writer's block to make this happen' way.
couple that with lyrics like i just don't work, not without you, which surface-level* read like they're addressed to the porcelain of our story (snarling at that finale evocation of 'ever after'), and it underlines the way our protagonist hasn't matured even one bit over the course of six albums. stagnation is the underlying theme of this record. actually, it's more regression than stagnation. at least in phantoms (2019), our protagonist recognizing that he's hanging onto a ghost of love means he can't also romanticize the healing power of that love.
topping all that off by throwing up his hands and accepting that this life and mindset works as well as anything, sold to us with a triumphant swell-and-settle of the orchestra...
fucking hollow.
