Anti Hero

The way "I'm the problem, it's me" perfectly sums up this album: a little bit funny and a little bit heartbreaking and a little bit vulnerable, all at once

I love the line "salt streams out my eyes and into my ears" because that's such a specific feeling when you're lying in bed crying without the energy to wipe your tears. it's like a reminder that even in the lowest moments, someone else has been there and felt that and you're not as alone as you feel. which has of course always been the magic taylor's lyrics

Midnights is for the girls who worked hard to get a life of their own, but now feel empty, it's the album you listen to when you're alone in the kitchen with no partner to cook with, no friends to go out with, no parents to comfort you. It's for the jo march girls, who gave up everything and everyone and pretend like it's alright but cry themselves to sleep every night, it's for the girls who stare at the ceiling for hours after coming home, it's for the masterminds, the people pleasers, for the girls who think they're unlovable, it's for the autumn/winter girls, it's for the girls who love rain and gloom, it's for the girls who read the most gut wrenching books to feel emotions, it's the ultimate sad girl album.
