You’re Losing Me

My favorite verses in order of their place in the song (NOT in order of how much I like them):

(That being said, purple is my all time favorite and hits so hard. My counselor and I have a new song to break down why it is so impactful now 😭)

You say, "I don't understand" and I say, "I know you don't"

I'm getting tired even for a phoenix — Always risin' from the ashes — Mendin' all her gashes

How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'? — I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick — My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick

I know my pain is such an imposition

I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy

And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

And I wouldn't marry me either — A pathological people pleaser — Who only wanted you to see her

Tbh was hoping for a song I couldn’t relate to but was a bop…. Then she dropped this song instead 😭

I LOVE YOU, IT'S RUINING MY LIFE.

THE ROARING TWENTIES (1929) | Written + Directed by Taylor Swift *ALL-TALKING PICTURE* Flapper Clara falls in love. With a Princeton sophomore. Every night they spend together feels like a dream. All the social occasions, the scent of wine she tasted on his lips, dance floor reflecting broken mirrorball lights, tossing pennies in the pool, sneaking in campus, night walks around the Nassau Hall, joking about school dorms, long dinner that seems never end and sophisticated conversations. His innocence and passion. Her wide-eyed gazes. Breathes that felt too close in the dark. Finally, one day, the kid went down on his knees and pulled that damned rock out of his pocket. Will Clara say "yes"?

I love you, it's ruining my life.

ok hear me out, 'The Black Dog' is wolfstar coded and not just because of the literal connection with Sirius Black and his animagus but in general. The Dog is very obviously Sirius and the way she goes on building the first verse of long lost friendship and relationship- "I am someone who until recent events shared your secrets with" and that's easy to tell Sirius and Remus were one half of the Marauders and they were friends, lovers and obviously shared everything with each other. The location is the Marauder's Map and it could possibly be a memory that Sirius can't get out of his head while being in Azkaban that relates closely with Remus who is having the same flashback but at a bar or in a deep emotional capacity when he sees a black dog that reminds him of Siri. "She's too young to know this song" is Tonks (no offence to her but ye) the age gap is there, she was there when Sirius was alive and it was a visual representation of Remus choosing her above him. When Remus steals glances at Sirius when he thinks no one is seeing for 'old habits die screaming' and now he doesn't know what to do with this for he feels Sirius is too lost in despair. Post Azkaban Sirius is "moving through the world heartbroken" and with desires of having a friend in Remus if not a lover. "And it kills me, I don't understand"— is very clearly the chaotic mess inside Siri's head as he takes over his life after 13 years of imprisonment. "Now I wanna sell my house, and set fire to all my clothes," is perhaps the disdain with Grimmauld Palace and his past that he tried so hard to escape haunting him like a full circle. "This tail between your legs, you're leaving" is again his untimely death, too soon and a life too short with great regrets and glorious moments.

You can't tell me this song isn't about Sirius Black

DON’T WANT NO OTHER SHADE OF BLUE BUT YOU— NO OTHER SADNESS IN THE WORLD WOULD DO.

For a fortnight there we were forever 🎶

If it's all in my head tell me now, tell me I've got it wrong somehow,

I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it.

"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me."

I LOVE YOU, IT’S RUINING MY LIFE;
