메타스코어 76 / 100 유저 스코어 -.- / 10
상세 내용


* 발매 직후, 6개의 평론과 함께 메타크리틱 92점으로 데뷔하였지만, 이후 다소 엇갈리는 평론들이 추가되면서 84점에서 76점으로 점수가 하락하였다.
* 롤링스톤과 인디펜던트에서는 10점만점에 10점을 주면서 호평을 하였다
* 반면, 피치포크에서는 본 앨범에는 6.6점, THE ANTHOLOGY에는 6.0점(10점 만점)이란 다소 박한 평가를 내렸다. 이는 피치포크가 평가한 테일러 스위프트의 앨범 중 reputation(6.5점) 이후로 두번째로 낮은 점수이며, 더블 앨범을 합산하면 가장 낮은 점수이다. 그간 테일러 스위프트의 앨범들을 호평하던 AllMusic NME도 6점을 주면서 상대적으로 낮은 점수를 부여하였다. 심지어 평이 갈렸던 reputation 이후로 처음으로 40점 아래의 Negative 단계의 평을 남긴 평론도 있었다. 커리어 전반적으로, 특히 folklore 이후 음악적 스펙트럼을 넓히며 평론들에게 고루 호평을 들어왔던 테일러 스위프트로서는 이례적으로 엇갈리는 평을 받고 있다.
* 이러한 엇갈리는 평론과 호불호를 두고 잭 안토노프와의 오랜 협업이 다소 진부하고 자기복제의 함정에 빠졌다는 주장이 제기되었다. 테일러와 잭 안토노프는 2014년 1989부터 계속 작업하고 있는데, 테일러 스위프트와 정규 앨범 6개, 재녹음 앨범 4개로 10개 앨범 프로듀싱에 참여하였다. 그런데 이 중 메인 프로듀싱까지 맡은 Lover 이후로 불과 5년 사이에 무려 8개 작품을 함께 하면서 다소 매너리즘에 빠졌다는 분석이다 #[4]. 특히 이번 앨범이 유례가 없이 많은 트랙 수를 자랑하지만, 반대로 이 때문에 매너리즘과 자기복제가 더욱 두드러졌다는 분석도 있다[5].
* 또 앨범이 전반적으로 치분한 분위기인 반면, The Eras Tour가 유례없는 흥행을 기록하는 동시에 Midnights로 그래미 역사상 최초이자 유일하게 올해의 앨범상을 4개 수상하며 테일러 스위프트 커리어의 정점에 있는 시기에 발표되어 엄청난 기대를 모았던 만큼 평론과 대중들의 기대치가 워낙 높았기에 다소 평이 엇갈리는 측면도 있다[6][7].
* 롤링 스톤에서 100점 만점을 주며 찬사를 받았지만, 이는 많은 논란을 일으켰다. 이번 앨범의 평의 마지막 크레딧에 나온 평론가의 이름과 사진을 조회한 결과, 그의 인스타그램에 업로드 된 테일러와의 사진 트위터에서의 여러 발언 등이 조회되었고, 단순히 자주 듣는 리스너의 수준을 넘어선 지금까지도 스탠(Stan) 활동을 보인 사람이 중립적으로 평가를 해야하는 부분에서 그녀의 앨범에 평을 올리고 픽스를 했는가에 대하여 강한 비판들이 쏟아져 나왔다. 뿐만 아니라 롤링스톤에서는 대놓고 그녀는 아델보다 나은 아티스트라고 평하며 여러 팬덤에서 말이 되나며 많은 화를 불러모았다.

7. 트랙리스트

Taylor Swift는 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'로 자신이 지닌 표현의 한계를 한 겹 더 벗겨냈습니다. 그리고 앨범을 듣고 난 리스너라면 Taylor Swift가 앞서 언급했던 것처럼 그가 왜 이 앨범을 만들 수밖에 없었는지, 그 이유를 공감할 수 있죠. 아티스트로서, 아니 한 인간으로서 겪는 모든 감정을 깊숙하게 탐구하고 돌파하며, 이를 끝내 음악으로 표출하는 그의 저력을 실감케 하는 작품입니다.

[ 전체 내용 보기 ]
앨범 'Midnights'를 발매한 이후 Taylor Swift가 보낸 18개월은 그의 커리어에서 아마도 잊지 못할 순간이었을 것입니다. The Eras Tour는 10억 달러를 돌파하며 기록을 경신했고, 콘서트 실황 상영은 역대 최고 수익을 올렸죠. Swift의 발길이 닿는 곳마다 세간의 관심은 물론 엄청난 상업적 성공이 따라왔고, 그는 각종 미디어의 헤드라인을 장식했습니다. 2023년, 타임지 '올해의 인물', Apple Music '올해의 아티스트'로도 선정되었죠.

하지만 Taylor Swift가 이런 엄청난 성공을 노래로 표현하는 아티스트가 아니라는 건 모두가 알고 있을 것입니다. 배우 조 알윈과 6년간의 연인 관계가 끝났다는 소식이 전해진 후, 팬들은 뒤늦게 눈치챘습니다. 몇 주 전, The Eras Tour 무대에서 Swift가 알윈과 함께 만든 노래 'champagne problems'를 부르며 눈물을 보였던 이유를 짐작하게 됐죠. 이 영상은 소셜 미디어를 통해 빠르게 확산되었습니다. 마치 슈퍼히어로 같이 느껴지는 Swift 역시 우리처럼 아픔을 겪는 한 인간이라는 사실을 깨닫게 하는 지점이었습니다. 하지만 이런 아픔마저 멋진 노래로 승화하는 능력이야말로 전 세계가 열광하는 Swift의 힘인지도 모릅니다.

2024년 초, 그래미 어워드에서 수상 소감과 함께 Swift는 이번 11번째 앨범을 예고하며 세상을 놀라게 했습니다. 그리고 얼마 후 호주 멜버른 공연장의 9만 6천 명 관객 앞에서 말했죠. "이 앨범을 꼭 만들어야만 했어요. 이 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT' 앨범만큼 송라이팅이 절실히 필요했던 적이 없었습니다." 오랫동안 함께 작업해 온 프로듀서 Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner와 더불어, Swift는 'Midnights' 앨범에서 보여준 부드럽고 편안한 사운드로 다시 돌아왔습니다. 하지만 그 표현의 차원은 더욱 높아졌습니다. 단순히 이별을 노래한 앨범이 아닌, Swift가 느낀 수많은 감정의 파편을 뚫고 심해 속으로 깊숙하게 뛰어든 듯한 작품이죠.

' But Daddy I Love Him'은 Swift 초기 음악의 뿌리인 컨트리 사운드의 영향이 드러납니다. 현악 편곡과 기타 사운드가 어우러진 이 곡은 그가 직면하는 끊임없는 관심과 압박감에 대한 좌절을 노래합니다. 자신이 가진 모든 것을 파괴하더라도 거기서 벗어나고 싶은 의지를 드러내죠. ' Florida!!!'는 Florence + the Machine과 협업한 곡입니다. 영화 '델마와 루이스'처럼, 현실을 벗어나 새로운 시작을 꿈꾸며 플로리다로 도망치는 이야기를 그립니다.

'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'는 내내 유머와 슬픔의 순간을 오갑니다. 우리가 깊은 사랑에 빠졌거나 상심했을 때 느끼는 극단적인 감정을 과장된 언어와 이미지로 묘사하죠. Post Malone과 함께 한 오프닝 트랙 ' Fortnight'에선 Swift의 냉소적인 유머 감각이 드러납니다. 'Your wife waters flowers/I wanna kill her(당신 와이프는 꽃에 물을 줘/난 그녈 죽이고 싶네)'. 반면 ' Down Bad'에서는 버림받은 사랑의 감정을 공상 과학 소설처럼 써 내려가며 자기 비하적인 발언을 서슴지 않죠. 밀도 있고 구체적이며 격정적인 표현 방식은 2012년 앨범 'Red'의 수록곡 'All Too Well'에서 보여준 솔직함이 무색할 만큼 한 단계 더 진화했습니다. ' So Long, London'에서는 자신을 사랑한다는 상대방에게 왜 그걸 증명 못 하는지 묻습니다. 사랑의 증거를 기다렸지만 버림받은 고통을 표현하죠. ' loml'은 자신을 진정한 사랑이라고 말했던 상대방에게 작별을 고하는 곡으로, 'I'll still see it until I die(죽을 때까지 지켜볼 거야)'라고 전합니다. 여기서 끝나지 않습니다. ' The Alchemy'에서는 새로운 시작을 암시하고, ' I Can Do It With a Broken Heart'에서는 질주하는 신시사이저 사운드와 함께 다시 일어서는 Swift의 모습을 볼 수 있습니다. 그는 노래합니다. ''Cause I'm a real tough kid and I can handle my shit(나는 강인한 아이, 내 일은 내가 다 감당해).'

아마도 이 앨범은 지금까지 Swift가 보여준 가장 솔직하고 거침없는 작품으로 기억될 것입니다. 리스너는 마치 그가 써 놓고도 보내지 않은 이메일을 발견하거나, 결코 들어서는 안 될 대화를 듣는 것 같은 묘한 기분을 느끼게 되죠. ' Clara Bow'라는 곡 제목은 무성 영화에서 유성 영화 시대로 넘어가던 1920년대, 업계에서 살아남은 유명 영화배우의 이름에서 따왔습니다. Swift는 이 곡에서 작은 마을의 한 소녀에서 업계의 거물로 성공하기까지 자신의 여정을 되돌아보죠. 결국 영원한 것은 아무것도 없다는 것을, 제삼자의 눈으로 스스로를 바라보며 말합니다. 'You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we're loving it. You've got edge she never did/The future's bright, dazzling(이 조명 아래 당신은 Taylor Swift를 닮았네요. 정말 좋아요. 당신은 Swift에겐 없는 세련됨을 갖고 있으니/미래가 밝네요).'

Taylor Swift는 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'로 자신이 지닌 표현의 한계를 한 겹 더 벗겨냈습니다. 그리고 앨범을 듣고 난 리스너라면 Taylor Swift가 앞서 언급했던 것처럼 그가 왜 이 앨범을 만들 수밖에 없었는지, 그 이유를 공감할 수 있죠. 아티스트로서, 아니 한 인간으로서 겪는 모든 감정을 깊숙하게 탐구하고 돌파하며, 이를 끝내 음악으로 표출하는 그의 저력을 실감케 하는 작품입니다.

7.1. THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT

7.1.1. Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)

[ 가사 보기 ]

I was supposed to be sent away
원래 난 떠나가야만 하는 운명이었지만
But they forgot to come and get me
그들은 날 데려가는 걸 잊었지
I was a functioning alcoholic
난 멀쩡해 보이는 알코올중독자였어
'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic
누군가 내가 달라졌단 걸 눈치채기 전까진 말이야

All of this to say,
내가 하고 싶은 말은 이거야,
I hope you're okay
네가 괜찮길 바라
But you're the reason
하지만 사실은 네가 자초한 일이지
And no one here's to blame
누구 탓도 할 순 없지만
But what about your quiet treason?
그토록 고요하게 날 배신할 수 있다니?

And for a fortnight there,
2주라는 시간 동안 거기서
we were forever
우린 영원했지
Run into you sometimes,
이따금씩 너와 마주칠 때면
ask about the weather
날씨 이야기를 해
Now you're in my backyard,
이제 넌 우리 집 뒷마당에 서 있어
turned into good neighbors
친절한 이웃의 모습을 하고선
Your wife waters flowers
꽃에 물을 주는 네 아내를
I wanna kill her
죽이고 싶을 뿐이야

All my mornings are Mondays
매일 아침이 월요일 같아
stuck in an endless February
영원한 2월에 갇힌 듯해
I took the miracle move-on drug,
널 잊게 해준다는 기적의 약을 먹어봤지만,
the effects were temporary
효과는 일시적이었어

And I love you, it's ruining my life
널 사랑하는 건, 내 인생을 망치고 있어
(I love you, it's ruining my life)
(널 사랑하는 건, 내 인생을 망치고 있어)
I touched you for only a fortnight
너와 닿아있던 건 고작 2주였지만
(I touched you)
(너와 닿아있던 건)
But I touched you
너와 닿아있던 건

And for a fortnight there,
2주라는 시간 동안 거기서
we were forever
우린 영원했지
Run into you sometimes,
이따금씩 너와 마주칠 때면
ask about the weather
날씨 이야기를 해
Now you're in my backyard,
이제 넌 우리 집 뒷마당에 서 있어
turned into good neighbors
친절한 이웃의 모습을 하고선
Your wife waters flowers
꽃에 물을 주는 네 아내를
I want to kill her
죽이고 싶을 뿐이야

And for a fortnight there,
2주라는 시간 동안 거기서
we were together
우리는 함께였어
Run into you sometimes,
이따금씩 너와 마주칠 때면
comment on my sweater
넌 내 스웨터를 칭찬해
Now you're at the mailbox,
이제 넌 우편함 앞에 서 있어
turned into good neighbors
친절한 이웃의 모습을 하고선
My husband is cheating
바람피우는 내 남편을
I want to kill him
난 죽이고 싶을 뿐이야

I love you, it's ruining my life
널 사랑하는 건, 내 인생을 망치고 있어
(I love you, it's ruining my life)
(널 사랑하는 건, 내 인생을 망치고 있어)
I touched you for only a fortnight
너와 닿아있던 건 고작 2주였지만
(I touched you)
(너와 닿아있던 건)
I touched you
너와 닿아있던 건

I love you, it's ruining my life
널 사랑하는 건, 내 인생을 망치고 있어
(I love you, it's ruining my life)
(널 사랑하는 건, 내 인생을 망치고 있어)
I touched you for only a fortnight
너와 닿아있던 건 고작 2주였지만
(I touched you)
(너와 닿아있던 건)
I touched you
너와 닿아있던 건

Thought of calling ya,
네게 전화를 걸까 했지만
but you won't pick up
넌 받지 않을 테니까
Another fortnight lost in America
미국에서 또다시 2주란 시간을 잃었네
Move to Florida,
플로리다로 이사를 하고
buy the car you want
네가 원하는 차를 사도
But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me
네 손길 없이는 시동은 걸리지 않을 테니까

7.1.2. The Tortured Poets Department

The Tortured Poets Department
02 4:54
[ 가사 보기 ]

You left your typewriter at my apartment
Straight from the tortured poets department
I think some things I never say
Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?"

But you're in self-sabotage mode
Throwing spikes down on the road
But I've seen this episode and still loved the show
Who else decodes you?

And who's gonna hold you like me?
And who's gonna know you, if not me?

I laughed in your face and said
"You're not Dylan Thomas
I'm not Patti Smith
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel
We're modern idiots"
And who's gonna hold you like me?

Nobody
No-fucking-body
Nobody

You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate
We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist
I scratch your head, you fall asleep
Like a tattooed Golden Retriever
But you awaken with dread, pounding nails in your head
But I've read this one where you come undone
I chose this cyclone with you

And who's gonna hold you like me?
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
And who's gonna know you like me?
(Who's gonna know you?)

I laughed in your face and said
"You're not Dylan Thomas,
I'm not Patti Smith
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel,
We're modern idiots"
And who's gonna hold you like me?
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)

No-fucking-body
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
Nobody
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Gonna know you?)
(Gonna troll you?)
Nobody

Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me
But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave
And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen
Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be

'Cause we're crazy
So tell me
Who else is gonna know me?

At dinner, you take my ring off
my middle finger and put it on the one
people put wedding rings on
And that's the closest I've come
to my heart exploding

Who's gonna hold you? (Who?)
Me
Who's gonna know you? (Who?)
Me

"And you're not Dylan Thomas,
I'm not Patti Smith
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel,
We're two idiots"
Who's gonna hold you?

(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
(Who's gonna hold you?)
Who's gonna hold you?
Gonna know you?
Gonna troll you?

You left your typewriter at my apartment
Straight from the tortured poets department
Who else decodes you?

7.1.3. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
03 3:24
[ 가사 보기 ]

Oh, here we go again
아 또 시작이네
The voices in his head
그 사람 마음의 목소리가
Called the rain to end
비를 불렀어
Our days of wild
격렬했던 우리의 시간을 끝내려고
The sickest army doll
제일 멋진 군인 장난감을
Purchased at the mall
마트에서 사왔어
Rivulets descend my plastic smile
플라스틱 미소를 타고 내려가는 시냇물

But you should've seen him
근데 네가 그때 그 사람을 못 봐서 그래
When he first got me
날 처음 가졌을 때 말이야

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys
내 남자는 자기가 제일 좋아하는 장난감만 망가뜨려
I'm queen of sand castles he destroys
난 그가 파괴하는 모래성의 여왕이야
'Cause it fit too right
왜냐면 꼭 들어맞았거든
Puzzle pieces in the dead of night
퍼즐조각들이 한밤중에는 그랬어
Should've known it was a matter of time
언젠간 일어날 시간 문제였던 걸 진작 알았어야 했는데
My boy only breaks his favorite toys
내 남자는 자기가 제일 좋아하는 장난감만 망가뜨려

There was a litany of reasons why
길고 긴 이유였어
We could've played for keeps this time
이번엔 우린 진지하게 임했어야 했는데
I know I'm just repeating myself
내가 자꾸 반복하게 되는 거 알아
Put me back on my shelf
선반 위에 날 다시 올려줘
But first, pull the string
일단 내 등 뒤의 줄을 당겨봐
And I'll tell you that he runs
그럼 말해줄게 그가 달리는 건
because he loves me
날 사랑해서야
(He loves me)
(날 사랑해서)

'Cause you should've seen him
네가 그때 그 사람을 못봐서 그런거니까
When he first saw me
날 처음 봤을 때 말야

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys
내 남자는 자기가 제일 좋아하는 장난감만 망가뜨려
I'm queen of sand castles he destroys
난 그가 파괴하는 모래성의 여왕이야
'Cause I knew too much
내가 너무 잘 알고 있었거든
There was danger in the heat of my touch
내 손길이 닿으면 그 열기가 얼마나 위험했는지
He saw forever, so he smashed it up
그는 영원을 보더니 박살내버렸어
My boy only breaks his favorite toys
내 남자는 자기가 제일 좋아하는 장난감만 망가뜨려

Once I fix me
내가 날 고치면
He's gonna miss me
그가 날 다시 찾아줄거야
Once I fix me
내가 날 고치면
He's gonna miss me
그가 날 다시 찾아줄거야

Just say when, I'd play again
말만 해, 다시 놀아줄게
He was my best friend
그는 나와 제일 친한 친구였어
Down at the sandlot
공터에서
I felt more when we played pretend
역할놀이를 할 때가 더 즐거웠어
Than with all the Kens
다르느 켄들과 노는 것보다
'Cause he took me out of my box
그가 날 장난감 상자에서 꺼내줬으니까

Stole my tortured heart
고문당한 내 심장을 훔쳐갔어
Left all these broken parts
깨진 조각은 전부 남겨두고
Told me I'm better off
나한텐 이게 더 낫다고 말했어
But I'm not
근데 난 아냐
I'm not
아니야
I'm not
아니야

7.1.4. Down Bad

Down Bad
04 4:22
[ 가사 보기 ]

Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Showed me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
For a moment,
I knew cosmic love

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
Fuck it if I can't have him
I might just die,
It would make no difference

Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky,
Come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad

Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad
Fuck it if I can't have him

Did you take all my old clothes
Just to leave me here
naked and alone?
In a field in my same old town
that somehow seems so hollow now
They'll say I'm nuts
if I talk about the existence of you
For a moment,
I was heaven-struck

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
Fuck it if I can't have him
I might just die,
It would make no difference

Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky,
Come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad
(Like I lost my twin)

Fuck it if I can't have him (down bad)
Down bad
(Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him

I loved your hostile takeovers
Encounters closer and closer
All your indecent exposures
How dare you say that it's

I'll build you a fort on some planet
Where they can all understand it
How dare you think it's romantic,
leaving me safe and stranded

'Cause fuck it, I was in love
So fuck you if I can't have us
'Cause fuck it, I was in love

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
Fuck it if I can't have him
I might just die,
It would make no difference

Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky,
Come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad
(Like I lost my twin)

Fuck it if I can't have him (down bad)
Down bad
(Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him

Like I lost my twin
Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad
Waving at the ship
Fuck it if I can't have him

7.1.5. So Long, London

So Long, London
05 4:23
[ 가사 보기 ]

I saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe

Thinking how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
Oh the tragedy.
So long London.
You'll find someone.

I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
I founded the club she's heard great things about
I left all I knew you left me at the house by the Heath
I stopped CPR, after all it's no use
The spirit was gone, we would never come to
And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I'll find someone

And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it
My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
Every day old love affair,Every breath feels like rarest airWhen you're not sure if he wants to be there

So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you think I'd go 'fore I'd self implode?
'Fore I'd have to go be free?

You swore that you loved, me but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
And I'm just getting color back into my face
I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place for

So long, London
Had a good run
A moment of warm sun
But I'm not the one
So long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
You'll find someone

7.1.6. But Daddy I Love Him

But Daddy I Love Him
06 5:41
[ 가사 보기 ]

I forget how the West was won,
I forget if this was ever fun
I just learned these people only raise you to cage you
Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best,
Clutching their pearls, sighing, "What a mess"

I just learned these people try and save you
'cause they hate you
Too high a horse
for a simple girl to rise above it
They slammed the door on my whole world,
The one thing I wanted

Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned,
Screaming, "But daddy I love him"
I'm having his baby,
No I'm not, but you should see your faces
I'm telling him to floor it through the fences,
No I'm not coming to my senses
I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid,
Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all
He was chaos, he was revelry,
Bedroom eyes like a remedy
Soon enough the elders had convened down at the City Hall
"Stay away from her,"
The saboteurs protested too much
Lord knows the words we never heard,
Just screeching tires and true love

Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned,
Screaming, "But daddy I love him"
I'm having his baby,
No I'm not, but you should see your faces
I'm telling him to floor it through the fences,
No I'm not coming to my senses
I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want

I'll tell you something right now
I'd rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning
I'll tell you something about my good name,
It's mine alone to disgrace
I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empaths clothing
God save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what's best for me Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see
Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry and undo the destiny
You ain't gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy
If all you want is grey for me, then it's just white noise, then it's just my choice
There's a lotta people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles
Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer
We came back when the heat died down, went to my parents and they came around
All the wine moms are still holding out but fuck 'em, it's over

Now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun and even my daddy just loves him
I'm his lady and oh my God, you should see your faces
Time, doesn't it give some perspective?
And no you can't come to the wedding
I know he's crazy but he's the one I want

I'll tell you something right now
You ain't gotta pray for me, me and my wild boy and all this wild joy
If all you want is grey for me, then it's just white noise, it's my choice
Screaming, "But daddy I love him"
I'm having his baby...no I'm not
But you should see your faces
But oh my God, you should see your faces

Fresh Out The Slammer

[ 가사 보기 ]

Now pretty baby
I'm running back home to you.
Fresh out the slammer
I know who my first call will be to
Fresh out the slammer

Another summer, taking cover, rolling thunder.
He don't understand me
Splintered back in winter, silent dinners,
Bitter he was with her in dreams
Grey and blue and fights and tunnels,
Handcuffed to the spell I was under

For just one hour of sunshine
Years of labor, locks and ceilings
In the shade of how he was feeling
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
Fresh out the slammer
I know who my first call will be to
Fresh out the slammer.

Camera flashes, welcome bashes
Get the matches, toss the ashes off the bench
As I said in my letters, now that I know better
I will never lose my baby again
My friends tried but I wouldn't hear it
Watched me daily disappearing
For just one glimpse of his smile
All those nights he kept me goingSwirled you into all of my poemsNow we're at the starting lineI did my time

Now pretty baby, I'm running
To the house
We still wait up in that porchlight gleams
To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams
And no matter what I've done it wouldn't matter anyway
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake here
At the park where we used to sit on children's swings
Wearing imaginary rings
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

I need to forget, so take me to Florida
I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable
At least the dolls are beautiful, fuck me up, Florida
I need to forget, so take me to Florida
I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable
Love left me like this and I don't want to exist
So take me to Florida

Little did you know your home's really only
A town you're just a guest in (Florida)
So you work your life away just to pay
For a time-share down in Destin (Take me to Florida)
Little did you know your home's really only
The town you'll get arrested (Florida)
So you pack your life away just to wait out
The shitstorm back in Texas

Guilty as Sin?
09 4:15
[ 가사 보기 ]

Drowning in the Blue Nile
He sent me "Downtown Lights"
I hadn't heard it in a while
My boredom's bone deep
This cage was once just fine
Am I allowed to cry?

I dream of cracking locks
Throwing my life
to the wolves or the ocean rocks
Crashing into him tonight, he's a paradox
I'm seeing visions
Am I bad, or mad, or wise?

What if he's written "Mine"
on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top lip kiss
How I long for our tryst
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?

I keep these longings locked
In lower case inside a vault
Someone told me,
"There's no such thing as bad thoughts,
only your actions talk"
These fatal fantasies given way
to labored breath taking all of me
We've already done it in my head
If it's make believe
Why does it feel like a vow
We'll both uphold somehow?

What if he's written "Mine"
on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
My bed sheets are ablaze
I screamed his name
Building up like waves crashing over my grave
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?

What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me
is actually what's holy?
If long suffering propriety is
what they want from me
They don't know
how you've haunted me so stunningly
I choose you and me, religiously

What if he's written "Mine"
on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip
and I'm falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top lip kiss
How I long for our tryst
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?

He sent me "Downtown Lights"
I hadn't heard it in a while
Am I allowed to cry?

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?

[ 가사 보기 ]

The who's who of who's that
is poised for the attack
But my bare 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 gallows
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 costs 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 gallows
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?
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 said?
That I'll sue you if you step on my lawn
That I'm fearsome
and I'm wretched and I'm wrong
Put narcotics into all of my songs
And that's why you're still singing along

So I leap from the gallows
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

Cause you lured me
and you hurt me and you taught me
You caged me
and then you called me crazy (Crazy)
I am what I am
'cause you trained me (Trained me)
So who's afraid of me? (So who's afraid of me)
Who's afraid of little old me?
(Who's afraid of little old me)
Who's afraid of little old me?

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 'em 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 hands so calloused
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 'em 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 mine
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

Who's gonna stop us
from waltzing back into rekindled flames
If we know the steps anyway
We embroidered the memories of the time
I was away
Stitching "We were just kids babe"
I said "I don't mind it takes time"
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
I felt a glow like this
never before and never since

If you know it in one glimpse it's legendary
You and I go from one kiss to getting married
Still alivе killing time at the cemеtery
Never quite buried

And your suit and tie in the nick of time
You low-down boy you stand-up guy
Holy ghost you told me I'm the love of your life
You said I'm the love of your life
About a million times

Who's gonna tell me the truth
when you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you
When your impressionist paintings of heaven
turned out to be fakes
Well you took me to hell too
And all at once the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a
"get love quick" scheme
I felt a hole like this
never before and ever since

If you know it in one glimpse it's legendary
What we thought
was for all time was momentary
Still alive killing time at the cemetery
Never quite buried

You cinephile in black and white
All those plot twists and dynamite
Mr. Steal-Your-Girl then make her cry
Said I'm the love of your life

You shit-talked me under the table
Talking rings and talking cradles
I wish I could unrecall
How we almost had it all
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can't get out of bed
'Cause something counterfeit's dead
It was legendary
It was momentary
It was unnecessary
Should've let it stay buried

Oh what a valiant roar
What a bland goodbye
The coward claimed he was a lion
I'm combing through the braids of lies
I'll never leave never mind
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
Your arson's match your somber eyes
And I'll still see until I die
You're the loss of my life

I can handle my shit
They said

I'm so obsessed with him

Crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing

Was any of it true?
Gazing at me starry-eyed
In your Jehovah's Witness suit
Who the fuck was that guy?
You tried to buy some pills
From a friend of friends of mine
They just ghosted you
Now you know what it feels like

And I don't even want you back
I just want to know
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
And I don't miss what we had
but could someone give
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

You hung me on your wall
Stabbed me with your push pins
In public showed me off
Then sank in stoned oblivion
'Cause once your queen had come
You'd treat her likе an also-ran
You didn't measure up
In any measurе of a man

And I don't even want you back
I just want to know
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
And I don't miss what we had
but could someone give
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

Were you sent by someone
Who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
Were you writing a book?
Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In fifty years will all this be declassified?
And you'll confess why you did it
And I'll say "Good riddance"
'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden
I would've died for your sins
Instead I just died inside
And you deserve prison
but you won't get time
You'll slide into inboxes
and slip through the bars
You crashed my party and your rental car
You said normal girls were "boring"
But you were gone by the morning
You kicked out the stage lights
but you're still performing
And in plain sight you hid
But you are what you did
And I'll forget you but I'll never forgive
The smallest man who ever lived

This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like white wine
What if I told you I'm back?
The hospital was a drag
Worst sleep that I ever had
I circled you on a map
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm coming back so strong

So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns get the crown
Baby I'm the one to be
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly who are we to fight thе alchemy?

Hey you what if I told you we'rе cool?
That child's play back in school
Is forgiven under my rule
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm making a comeback to where I belong

So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns get the crown
Baby I'm the one to be
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly who are we to fight the alchemy?

We've been on a winning streak
He jokes that
"It's heroin but this time with an E"
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly who are we to fight the alchemy?

Shirts off and your friends lift you up
over their heads
Beer stickin' to the floor
cheers chanted 'cause they said
"There was no chance
trying to be the greatest in the league"
Where's the trophy?
He just comes running over to me

Touch down

Ditch the clowns get the crown

You look like Clara Bow
In this light remarkable
All your life did you know?
You'd be picked like a rose

I'm not trying to exaggerate
But I think I might die if it happened
Die if it happened to me
No one in my small town thought
I'd see the lights of Manhattan

This town is fake but you're the real thing
Breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory give everything
Promise to be dazzling

You look like Stevie Nicks in '75
The hair and lips
The crowd goes wild at her fingertips
Half moon shine a full eclipse

I'm not trying to exaggerate
But I think I might die if I made it
die if I made it
No one in my small town thought
I'd meet these suits in LA
They all want to say

This town is fake but you're the real thing
Breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory give everything
Promise to be dazzling

The crown is stained
but you're the real queen
Flesh and blood amongst war machines
You're the new God we're worshipping
Promise to be dazzling

Beauty is a beast that roars down on
all fours demanding more
Only when your girlish glow flickers just so
Do they let you know?
It's hell on earth to be heavenly
Them's the brakes they don't come gently

You look like Taylor Swift
In this light we're loving it
You've got edge she never did
The future's bright dazzling

I am someone who until recent events
You shared your secrets with
And your location you forgot to turn it off
And so I watch as you walk
Into some bar called The Black Dog
And pierce new holes in my heart
You forgot to turn it off

And it hits me
I just don't understand

How you don't miss me
In The Black Dog
when someone plays The Starting Line
And you jump up
but she's too young to know this song
That was intertwined
in the magic fabric of our dreaming
Old habits die screaming

I move through the world with a heart broken
My longing state unspoken
And I may never open up thе way I did for you
And all of those best laid plans
You said I needed a bravе man
Then proceeded to play him
Until I believed it too

And it kills me
I just don't understand

How you don't miss me
In the shower
and remember how my rain-soaked body
Was shaking do you hate me?
Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity?
I pledged and I still mean it
Old habits die screaming

Six weeks of breathing clean air
I still miss the smoke
Were you making fun of me?
With some esoteric joke?
Now I wanna sell my house
And set fire to all my clothes
And hire a priest
to come and exercise my demons

Even if I die screaming-ing
And I hope you hear it-it-it
And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog
When someone plays the starting line
and you jump up
But she's too young to know this song
That was intertwined
in the tragic fabric of my dreaming
This tail between your legs you're leaving

I still can't believe it
'Cause old habits die screaming

Lilac short skirt the one that fits me like skin
Did your research
you knew the price going in
And I'll tell you one thing honey
I can tell when somebody still wants me
come clean
Standing at the bar
like something's funny bubbly
Once you fix your face I'm going in (Yeah)

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or
Gonna smash up your bike
I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back
Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
Take you back to my house
I haven't decidеd yet
But I'm gonna get you back

I-I hear thе whispers in your eyes
Don't make me wanna think twice
You'll find that you were never not mine
(You're mine)

Small talk big walk
act like I don't care what you did
I'm an Aston Martin
that you steered straight into the ditch
Then ran and hid
And I'll tell you one thing honey
I can take the upper hand
and touch your body
Flip the script and leave you
like a dumb house party
Or I might just love you 'til the end (Ah-ah-ah)

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or
Gonna smash up your bike
I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back
Whether I'm gonna flip you off or
Pull you into the closet I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back

I-I hear the whispers in your eyes
Don't make me wanna think twice
You'll find that you were never not mine
(You're mine)

I can feel it coming honey
in the way you move
Push the reset button
we're becoming something new
Say you got somebody else
say "I got someone too"
Even if it's handcuffed
I'm leaving here with you
Bygones will be bygone
eras fading into grey (Fading into grey)
Rebuild all the pieces
but still wanna play the game (Oh)
Told my friends I hate you
but I love you just the same
Pick your poison babe
I'm poison either way (Ha)

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or
Gonna smash up your bike
I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back
Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
Take you back to my house

Wise man once said
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
A rose by any other name is a scandal
Cautions issued he stood
Shooting the messengers
They tried to warn him about her

Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you

Wise man once said
"One bad seed kills the garden"
"One less temptress
one less dagger to sharpen"
Locked me up in towers
But I'd visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me

Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you

Devils that you know
Raise worse hell than a stranger
She's the death you chose
You're in terrible danger
And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata
I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters

Wise men once read fake news
And they believed it
Jackals raised their hackles
You couldn't conceive it
You were sleeping soundly
when they dragged you from your bed
And I tried to warn you about them
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Spread my wings like a parachute
I'm the albatross
I swept in at the rescue
The devil that you know
Looks now more like an angel
I'm the life you chose
And all this terrible danger (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
This terrible danger (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

So cross your thoughtless heart (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
She's the albatross (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
She is here to destroy you

Your hologram stumbled into my apartment
Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness
Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
And I just watched it happen
As the decade would play us for fools
And you saw my bones out with somebody new
Who seemed like
he would've bullied you in school
And you just watched it happen
If you want to break my cold cold heart
Just say "I loved you the way that you were"
If you want to tear my world apart
Just say you've always wondered
You said some things that I can't unabsorb
You turned me into an idea of sorts
You needed me but you needed drugs more
And I couldn't watch it happen
I changed into goddesses villains and fools
Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules
All to outrun my desertion of you
And you just watched it
If you want to break my cold cold heart
Just say "I loved you the way that you were"
If you want to tear my world apart
Just say you've always wondered
If the glint in my eye
traced the depths of your sigh
Down that passage in time
Back to the moment I crashed into you
Like so many wrecks do
Too impaired by my youth
To know what to do
So if I sell my apartment
And you have some kids with an internet starlet
Will that make your memory
fade from this scarlet maroon?
Like it never happened
Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?
Can we watch our phantoms
like watching wild horses?
Cooler in theory but not if you force it
To be it just didn't happen
So if you want to break my cold cold heart
Say you loved me
And if you want to tear my world apart
Say you'll always wonder
'Cause I wonder
Will I always
Will I always wonder?

We hereby conduct this post-mortem
He was a hot house flower to my outdoorsman
Our maladies were
such we could not cure them
And so a touch
that was my birthright became foreign

Come one come all it's happenin' again
The empathetic hunger descends
We'll tell no one except all of our friends
We must know
How did it end?
(Uh-oh uh-oh)

We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
We learned thе right steps to different dancеs
And fell victim to interlopers' glances
Lost the game of chance
what are the chances?
Soon they'll go home to their husbands
Smug 'cause they know they can trust him
Then feverishly calling their cousins

"Guess who we ran into at the shops?
Walking in circles like she was lost
Didn't you hear? They called it all off"
One gasp and then
"How did it end?"

Say it once again with feeling
How the death rattle breathing
Silenced as the soul was leaving
The deflation of our dreaming
Leaving me bereft and reeling
My beloved ghost and me
Sitting in a tree
D-Y-I-N-G

It's happenin' again
How did it end?
I can't pretend like I understand
How did it end?

Come one come all it's happenin' again
The empathetic hunger descends
We'll tell no one except all of our friends
But I still don't know
How did it end

Quick quick tell me something awful
Like you are a poet trapped
inside the body of a finance guy
Tell me all your secrets all you'll ever be is
My eternal consolation prize
You see I was a debutante in another life but
Now I seem to be scared to go outside
If comfort is a construct
I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what

I hate it here
so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to
the only one is mine
I read about it in a book
when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year
'cause I hate it here
I hate it here

My friends used to play a game where
We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead of this
I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists
And getting married off for the highest bid
Everyone would look down
'cause it wasn't fun now
Seems like it was never even fun back then
Nostalgia is a mind's trick
If I'd been there I'd hate it
It was freezing in the palace

I hate it here
so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind
When they found a better planet
only the gentle survived
I dreamed about it in the dark
the night I felt like I might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year
'cause I hate it here
I hate it here

I'm lonely but I'm good
I'm bitter but I swear I'm fine
I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life
and I'll get lost on purpose
This place made me feel worthless
Lucid dreams like electricity
the current flies through me
And in my fantasies I rise above it
And way up there I actually love it

I hate it here
so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to
the only one is mine
I read about it in a book
when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year
'cause I hate it here
I hate it here

When I picture my hometown
There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you
And a plaque underneath it
That threatens to push me down the stairs
at our school

And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches
I was buildin' somethin'
And I can't forgive the way you made me feel
Screamed "Fuck you Aimee" to the night sky
as the blood was gushin'
But I can't forget the way you made me heal

And it wasn't a fair fight
Or a clean kill each time
that Aimee stompеd across my grave
And then she wrotе headlines
In the local paper
laughing at each baby step I'd take

And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches
I was buildin' somethin'
And I couldn't wait to show you it was real
Screamed "Fuck you Aimee" to the night sky
as the blood was gushin'
But I can't forget the way you made me heal
Everyone knows
that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say
she wished that you were dead
I pushed each boulder up the hill
Your words are still
just ringing in my head ringing in my head

I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
I built a legacy that you can't undo
But when I count the scars
there's a moment of truth
That there wouldn't be this
if there hadn't been you

And maybe you've reframed it
And in your mind
you never beat my spirit black and blue
I don't think you've changed much
And so I changed your name
and any real defining clues
And one day your kid comes home singin'
A song that only us two
is gonna know is about you 'cause

All that time you were throwin' punches
it was all for nothin'
And our town
it looks so small from way up here
Screamed "Thank you Aimee" to the night sky
and the stars are stunnin'
'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal
Everyone knows
that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say
she wished that you were dead
So I pushed each boulder up that hill
Your words were still

As you boarded your train
South south south south south south

A feather taken by the wind blowing
I'm afflicted by the not knowing so

I look in people's windows
Transfixed by rose golden glows
They have their friends over to drink nice wine
I look in people's windows
In case you're at their table
What if your eyes looked up and met mine
One more time

You had stopped and tiltеd your head
I still ponder what it meant
Now now now now now now
I triеd searching faces on streets
What are the chances you'd be
Downtown downtown downtown

Does it feel alright to not know me?
I'm addicted to the "if only"

So I look in people's windows
Like I'm some deranged weirdo
I attend Christmas parties from outside
I look in people's windows
In case you're at their table
What if your eyes looked up and met mine
One more time

7.2.10. The Prophecy

The Prophecy
26 4:09
[ 가사 보기 ]

Hand on the throttle
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Oh but it's gone again
And it was written
I got cursed like Eve got bitten
Oh was it punishment?
Pad around when I get home
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg
But I looked to the sky and said

Please
I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?

Cards on thе table
Mine play out like fools in a fablе
Oh it was sinking in (Sinking in oh)
Slow is the quicksand
Poison blood
from the wound of the pricked hand
Oh still I dream of him

Please
I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?

And I sound like an infant
Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
A greater woman stays cool
But I howl like a wolf at the moon
And I look unstable
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble
if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
No sign of soulmates
I'm just a paperweight in shades of greige
Spending my last coin
so someone will tell me it'll be okay

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Please
I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?
Who do I have to speak to
To change the prophecy?

Hand on the throttle
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Oh but it's gone again
Pad around when I get home
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg
But I looked to the sky and said (Please)

I was in my new house placing daydreams
Patching up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call

When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'
In the streets there's a raging riot
When it's "Burn the bitch" they're shrieking
When the truth comes out it's quiet

So they killed Cassandra first
'cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes
I regret to say
Do you believe me now?

I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
They say
"What doesn't kill you makes you aware"
What happens if it becomes who you are?

So they killed Cassandra first
'cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they set my life in flames I regret to say
Do you believe me now?

They knew they knew
they knew the whole time
That I was onto somethin'
The family the pure greed
the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard

I patched up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all

So they killed Cassandra first
'cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes
I regret to say
Do you believe me now?

Ah ah-ah-ah ah
I was onto somethin'
Ah-ah-ah ah
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard
No one heard not a single word was heard

When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'
In the streets there's a raging riot
When it's "Burn the bitch" they're shrieking
When the truth comes out it's quiet
It's so quiet

7.2.12. Peter

Forgive me Peter
My lost fearless leader
In closets like cedar
Preserved from when we were just kids
Is it somethin' I did?
The goddess of timing
Once found us beguiling
She said she was trying
Peter was she lying?
My ribs get the feeling she did

And I didn't wanna come down
I thought it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Thеn you were gonna come find mе
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises oceans deep
But never to keep
Oh never to keep

Are you still a mind reader?
A natural scene stealer?
I've heard great things Peter
But life was always easier on you
Than it was on me
And sometimes it gets me
When crossing your jet stream
We both did the best we could do
Underneath the same moon
In different galaxies

And I didn't wanna hang around
We said it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises oceans deep
But never to keep
Never to keep

And I won't confess that I waited
but I let the lamp burn
As the men masqueraded I hoped you'd return
With your feet on the ground
tell me all that you'd learned
'Cause love's never lost
when perspective is earned
And you said you'd come and get me
but you were twenty-five
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
Forgive me Peter please know that I tried
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)
When you were mine
But the woman who sits by the window
Has turned out the light

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises oceans deep
But never to keep

7.2.13. The Bolter

The Bolter
29 3:58
[ 가사 보기 ]

By all accounts she almost drowned
When she was six in frigid water
And I can confirm she made
A curious child ever reviled
By everyone except her own father
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish charmingly helpless
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
Then she runs like it's a race
Behind her back her best mates laughed
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"

Started with a kiss
"Oh we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a whore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving
It felt like breathing

All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive

He was a cad wanted her bad
Just like any good trophy hunter
And she liked the way it tastes
Taming a bear making him care
Watching him jump then pulling him under
And at first blush this is fate
When it's all roses portrait poses
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
What a charming Saturday
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
Down in the floorboards
And she just knows she must bolt

Started with a kiss
"Oh we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a whore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving
It felt like breathing

All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes (Ah-ah-ah)
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive

She's been many places with
Men of many faces
First they're off to the races
And she's laughing drawin' aces
But none of it is changin'
That the chariot is waitin'
Hearts are hers for the breakin'
There's escape in escaping

Started with a kiss
"Oh we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evenin'
Ended with the slam of a door
But she's got the best stories
You can be sure
That as she was leaving
It felt like freedom

All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes (And she realized)
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive

Long may you reign
You're an animal you are bloodthirsty
Out window panes talking utter nonsense
You have no idea

Strings tied to levers
Slowed-down clocks tethered
All this showmanship
To keep it for you in sweetness

Way to go tiger
Higher and higher
Wilder and lighter
For you

Long may you roar
At your dinosaurs
You're a just ruler
Covered in mud you look ridiculous
And you have no idea

Buried down deep
And out of your reach
The secret we all vowed
To keep it from you in sweetness

Way to go tiger
Higher and higher
Wilder and lighter
For you

You got the dragonflies above your bed
You have a favorite spot on the swing set
You have no room in your dreams for regrets
(You have no idea)
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean
You'll learn to bounce back
just like your trampoline
But now we'll curtail your curiosity
In sweetness

Way to go tiger (Way to go tiger)
Higher and higher (Higher and higher)
Wilder and lighter
For you

7.2.15. The Manuscript

The Manuscript
31 3:44
[ 가사 보기 ]

Now and then she rereads the manuscript
Of the entire torrid affair
They compared their licenses
He said "I'm not a donor but
I'd give you my heart if you needed it"
She rolled her eyes and said
"You're a professional"
He said "No just a good samaritan"
He said that if the sex was half
as good as the conversation was
Soon they'd be pushin' strollers
But soon it was over

In the age of him she wished she was thirty
And made coffee
every morning in a Frеnch press
Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal
And couldn't sleep
unless it was in her mother's bed
Then she dated boys who were her own age
With dart boards on the backs of their doors
She thought about how he said
since she was so wise beyond her years
Everything had been above board
She wasn't sure

And the years passed
Like scenes of a show
The professor said to write what you know
Lookin' backwards
Might be the only way to move forward
Then the actors
Were hitting their marks
And the slow dance
Was alight with the sparks
And the tears fell
In synchronicity with the score
And at last
She knew what the agony had been for

The only thing that's left is the manuscript
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
Now and then I reread the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore

9. 여담


[1] THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT 기준. [2] THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY 기준. [3] 여담으로 그래미 직전 X, 인스타등 SNS에 프로필이 흑백으로 바뀜과 동시에 공식 홈페이지마저 오류로 접속이 불가능해지며 팬들은 정규 6집 《 reputation》의 재녹음 버전 공개를 예상했으나 모두의 예상을 깨고 정규 11집을 깜짝 발표해 전 세계적으로 크게 화제가 되고 있다. [4] 해당 기사는 롤링스톤의 기사인데, 위에 언급하였듯 앨범 리뷰에서는 만점을 주며 호평을 하였음에도 해당 비판을 다룬 기사도 보도하였다. [5] 실제로 THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT와 THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY의 평가도 다소 엇갈리는 편이다. [6] 특히 이전 앨범인 Midnights 1989 (Taylor's Version)가 대중적인 신스팝 장르였기 때문에 더욱 비교되었다 [7] 다만 엇갈리는 평론과 반응과는 별개로, 후술된 성적 문단에서 볼 수 있듯이 앨범은 대흥행을 이어가고 있다 [8] 스탠다드 버전의 수록곡인 16곡만으로도 2.25억 이상의 스트리밍을 기록했다. [9] 종전 1위는 머라이어 캐리의 ' All I Want for Christmas Is You' [10] 애플 뮤직은 힙합 리스너들이 주류이기 때문에 팝 음반은 상대적으로 좋은 성적을 기록하기 어렵다. [11] 애플 뮤직 100여 개국에서 1위를 하며 아리아나 그란데와 함께 2024년 100여 개국 이상 1위 한 여성 아티스트가 되었다. [12] 총 12곡, 종전 기록은 드레이크. [13] 2위 《 Midnights》, 3위 《 1989 (Taylor's Version)》. [14] 기존 2위는 아델의 30, 1위는 에드 시런의 ÷ [15] 전체 기록은 모건 월렌이 2023년 기록한 36곡 차트인 [16] 영국 오피셜 싱글 차트는 한 아티스트 당 3곡만 차트에 진입할 수 있다. [E] Explicit( 욕설 포함). 만 19세 미만 청소년 청취불가. [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [28] THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT는 조 알윈과 결별한 뒤 첫번째 앨범이다. [29] 글자를 조합하면 'tortured poets department'가 나온다. [30] 1번째는 Speak Now의 리드싱글 Mine이, 2번째 1989는 4일전 인터넷에 유출되었고 reputation Lover는 발매 12시간전에 유출되었다.
