Joe Alwyn Speaks Out About Split with Taylor Swift
“Loml”: In this poignant track, Taylor reflects on being referred to as the love of someone’s life countless times. However, the situation eventually shifts.
“If you recognize it in an instant, it becomes legendary,” she observes. “What we believed would last forever turned out to be fleeting.”
She concludes the song by informing the person, “You are the loss of my life.”
While the song could be about her enduring relationship with Joe, references to “rekindled flames” and reminiscing about their youth suggest it’s about her connection with Matty after all these years: “I’ve experienced a passion like this never before and never again.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”: Taylor sings about conquering her Eras Tour despite the heartache, emphasizing that she’s hitting her marks on stage in front of an enthusiastic audience. She conceals her feelings behind a tough facade: “Lights, camera, smile.”
Despite its upbeat tempo, this song is laced with themes of unreciprocated love.
“I’m so infatuated with him, yet he avoids me like the plague / I shed tears frequently, but I remain productive, almost like an art,” she sings. “You know you’re resilient when you can persevere even with a broken heart.”
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”: Taylor poses questions to “the smallest man who ever lived,” who seemingly exited their relationship abruptly.
“You dimmed the stage lights, yet you continue to put on a show,” she croons. “You tried to hide in plain sight / But your actions speak louder than words.”
