Whose Afraid Of Taylor Swift...

"all that bloodshed, crimson clover, uh-huh." that uh-huh is an elite vocal moment by the way. "sweet dream was over my hand was the one you reached for all throughout the great war". notice how there's basically zero pause between over and my? because she's emphasizing how quickly it was completely gone and something else replaced it??? "always remember uh-huh tears on the letter. I vowed not to cry anymore if we survived the great war." it's soooooo twisted toxic wholesome all at once like oh my god. as if one cause can dictate your tears for the rest of your life. the desperation for it not to go wrong, not to end! to survive the great war at the cost of relinquishing the right to any other sadness forever!!!!

"you drew up some good faith treaties. I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone." the double drew is so lethal I'm sorry that's one of my fav writing tricks and she uses it all over midnights. "you said I have to trust more freely. but diesel is desire, you were playing with fire." the way she says diesel and desire is like taking a straight shot of whiskey. "and maybe it's the past that's talking. screaming from the crypt. telling me to punish you for things you never did. so I justified it!!!!" I'm on my knees at this point in the song. and the chorus starts again, with a twist!! I'm such a slut for a twist on a chorus. "all that bloodshed, crimson clover, uh-huh. the bombs were closer. my hand was the one you reached for all throughout the great war." we don't even know what's causing the war - egos, her, the past - so it could be entirely on them but they're still holding hands through it all!! desperate to save it!! "always remember, uh-huh, the burning embers. I vowed not to fight anymore if we survived the great war." she's giving up more and more for this war!! she ignored the good faith treaties and instead is leaving all of herself, all of her emotions on the field in the hopes of salvaging this!

and then the bridge................... "it turned into something bigger. somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed. your finger on my hairpin triggers..... soldier down on that icy ground looked up at me with honour and truth. broken and blue. so I called off the troops. that was the night I nearly lost you. I really thought I'd lost you." like she's vowed to basically give up all strong emotions if they win but in the throes she's exploding with these emotions and letting them control to the point where she decides to give it all up before the victory to get to the victory. also her voice throughout that bridge is everything.
