From the lyrics it definitely sounds like Matty

 

 

Spoiler

I thought so but it also sounds kinda present tense and there was a lot of drama about Travis and how he cheated on his ex's and shit like that

 

like i doubt her dad ever liked matty

Like now I get what people are saying about how the TVs have no emotion, because wow the way she delivers this song is just extremely heartbreaking

Spoiler

"So Long, London" sounds kinda like "The Archer" production wise. Which feels to me like "So Long, London" is what Lover-Taylor's worst fears are

And that’s why we need State Of Grace (Taylor’s Version) 2.0

Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me? 

Spoiler

The who’s who of who’s that is poised for the attack 

But my bear hands paved their paths

You don’t get to tell me about sad 

If you wanted me dead, you should’ve just said 

Nothing makes me feel more alive

 

So I leap from the gallos and I levitate down your street 

Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

“Who’s afraid of little old me?”

You should be

 

The scandal was contained

The bullet had just grazed

At all cost, keep your good name

You don’t get to tell me you feel bad

Is it a wonder I broke?

Let’s hear one more joke

Then we could all just laugh until I cry

 

So I leap from the gallos and I levitate down your street 

Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

“Who’s afraid of little old me?”

I was tame, I was gentle

Till the circus life made me mean 

Don’t you worry, folks

We took out all her teeth

Who’s afraid of little old me?

Well, you should be

 

You should be, you should be 

You should be, you should be

You should be, you should be

You should be, you should be

 

So, tell me everything is not about me

But what if it is? 

Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me

But what if they did?

I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me 

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me 

So, all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs 

I’m always drunk on my own tears

Isn’t that what they all say?

 

That I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn

That I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched

And I’m wrong

Putting hycotuss into all of my songs 

And that’s why you’re still singing along

 

So I leap from the gallos and I levitate down your street 

Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

“Who’s afraid of little old me?”

I was tame, I was gentle

Till the circus life made me mean 

Don’t you worry, folks

We took out all her teeth

Who’s afraid of little old me?

Well, you should be

 

You should be, you should be 

You should be, you should be

You should be, you should be

You should be, you should be

 

‘Cause you lured me

And you hurt me

And you taught me 

You caged me

And then you called me crazy

I am what I am, cause you trained me 

So, who’s afraid of me? 

So, who’s afraid of little old me?

Who’s afraid of little old me?

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can):

Spoiler

The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town

The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud 

 

They shake their heads, saying, “God help her” when I tell them he’s my man

But your good lord doesn’t need to lift a finger

I can fix him, no really, I can 

And only I can 

 

The dopamine races through his brain on a six-lane Texas highway

His hand so callous from his pistol softly traces hearts on my face

And I could see it from a mile away

A perfect case for my certain skill set 

He had a halo of the highest grade

He just hadn’t met me yet

 

They shake their heads, saying, “God help her” when I tell them he’s my man

But your good lord doesn’t need to lift a finger

I can fix him, no really, I can 

And only I can 

 

Good boy, that’s right 

Come close, I’ll show you Heaven

If you’ll be an angel all night

Trust me, I can handle me a dangerous man

No really, I can

 

They shook their heads, saying, “God help her” when I told them he’s my man

(I told them, he’s my man)

But your good lord didn’t need to lift a finger

I can fix him, no really, I can 

(No really, I can)

Woah, maybe I can’t

 

Spoiler

i can fix him is hilarious to me, she really wrote a song about matty then changed the last line once they broke up

 

[Mer 52,142]

Spoiler

I feel like "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?" is partly and indirectly about the Matty situation. I bet she made him sign a bunch of NDAs, he went off on her, "who's afraid of little old me?" was born

Spoiler

I understand why she went for the most American man she could possibly find now

praying for a demo version or something of state of grace that has better drums.

True, But I love her new voice and want newer production. I guess I can’t get the best of both worlds 😭

I keep trying to edit the grammatical errors in your posts because I keep thinking I made them 💀

 

Sorry that came across meaner than I intended it.

I’ve only listened to a little bit so far but I actually like it a lot! Love how she’s been dipping her feet into a bit of a darker sound.
 

The only criticism I have is sometimes when she tries to be edgier, it makes me giggle like this line. I know it’s not supposed to be literal, but I don’t think know ms swift would not last an hour in an asylum 

 

anyways, I think I’ll wait until it officially is released to listen to it fully in order, but so far i think it’s a step up from midnights and I’m a fan of it so far!

Spoiler

I enjoyed the album, and I'm sure it'll grow on me, but it is very much the Taylor formula. Some highlights and great moments for sure and none of the songs were bad, but it all sounds predictable. I'm not saying she has to reinvent her sound with each record. I like Taylor and I don't mind when an artist hones in on a sound, but I still think it could sound a little fresher.

 

Not to bring it back to Lana (though this is LanaBoards) but she really is a perfect example of an artist with a signature sound that manages to constantly surprise without needing to reinvent herself. It's funny that people compare them so much but I think they are extremely different as artists, almost opposites. Taylor follows a structure, and Lana follows the flow.
