"i'll be summer sun for you forever" "living in winter i am you summer" "everytime you shine, ill shine for you" "im a mirrorball, ill show you every version of yourself tonight" "diamonds in my eyes i polish up real nice" "you should find another guiding light, but i shine so bright" so so obsessed with taylor describing herself as a source of light in her songs, shining so brightly trying to shine light on the people around her, the idea that people wont stay if you dont always shimmer, and they wont leave because you almost cant help it. also the difference between being like the sun to her lover/those closest to her vs being a more artificial source of light, including simply reflecting the light around her, when it comes to her relationship with fame; glowing to try to bring some comfort to someone dear to you vs glowing as an act to keep people looking at you, and where the lines blur. when do you start performing just to get your lover to pay you any mind? ("a never needy ever lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you") and when does the light you reflect on the world become empowering and genuine? ("best believe im still bejeweled" "how the kingdom lights shined just for me and you")
