“everyone looked worse in the light” is one of the saddest lyrics on lover because people never surprised her in the good way; every time she found out more about someone, she was let down, which ties into her fears from the archer about all of her enemies starting out friends, and why she was so hesitant and was searching for her lover’s dark side, because he seemed too good to be true

As opposed to that quote about “the horrifying ordeal of being known,” do y’all ever feel so positively UNKNOWN and UNSEEN that it frightens you? Like there’s a self that you feel on the inside, and you believe to be “you,” but it seems like nobody else sees that version of you? And they’re interacting with someone that isn’t you but a projection of their experience of you? What’s more, perhaps nobody will ever know your true essence and you will die without ever being fully realized????? I’m only two beers in honestly
