I Can Do It With A Broken Heart - Tumblr Posts
✨'Cause I'm miserable and nobody even knows. Ah, try and come for my job✨
the beauty of this album is that it really fully encapsulates what it’s like going from the devastating loss of a long term relationship, to the rebound you think is gonna fix it all, only to ultimately realize that you were using the latter to process your feelings about the former. the songs are so muddled, and the lyrics are relevant to both muses because her feelings were muddled and she had no idea where to put them or what to do with them. the rebound promised her everything she couldn’t get from the ex-love and she fell for it because she was so desperate to be really seen.
Am i the only one seeing the lowkey ableism when people constantly call Taylor childish and immature as if childhood trauma doesn’t cause arrested development in the brain. This isn’t even about Taylor before someone comes at me for DeFenDiNg her and OMg SwiftIeS it’s actually about how those of us with trauma aren’t even allowed an ounce of empathy or compassions or understanding and the things we write about or even do will constantly be judged and how adults will always have some strict impossible standard to live up to and if we don’t reach that we are failures and automatically worthless and bad. It’s pretty hurtful seeing songs that you relate to being deemed childish when those songs are just… about feelings and emotional vulnerability.
Throwback to last month when Taylor decided to surprise us at the end of the show 🥹

I must say, I really do enjoy the confidence Taylor has in ttpd.
Yeah you’re singing my songs, yeah I’m that good, yeah I’m hitting all my marks, yeah your kid is coming home singing my song. Yeah, you should be afraid of me.
Gorgeous.

This is a thread connecting Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles to Taylor Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poet’s Department. Part One will be linked at the bottom, if you want to start from the beginning.
13.) I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
This song legitimately applies to everyone. TVC is just a bunch of angsty, existential vampires who have to keep carrying on, despite all their trauma and heartache, bc they’re immortal.
But, I want to shout out Claudia, specifically, bc that girl HAS BEEN THROUGH SOME SHIT. She endures immortality despite the many misfortunes she’s had to face: losing Charlie, losing her chance to live a normal life, losing her adulthood, always feeling second-best, and of course, being brutally killed bc Armand is jealous and petty. (Still love you Armand… it’s okay, I can fix you - no really, I can).
“Cause I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my shit”
“Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die”
“I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday everyday”
“I can hold my breath”
“I’ve been doing it since he left”
“I cry a lot but I am so productive, it’s an art”
“Cause I can do it with a broken heart”
14.) The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
This is the only song I actually feel guilty (as sin?) about assigning to someone. I’m going to look at it through the lens of how Lestat may have felt about Nicki after they broke up for good. Lestat turned him, and once Nicki was a vampire, he hated Lestat. And then Nicki’s true feelings came to light - how he resented Lestat’s capacity to endure, how he’d gone to Paris with Lestat in hopes that they both would fail.
I don’t think Lestat would feel this bitter for long, but it’s not crazy to think that he might’ve had a period of sulking after all he went through with Nicki.
“Was any of it true?”
“You gazing at me starry eyed”
“Who the fuck was that guy?”
“And I don't even want you back, I just want to know”
“If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal?”
“I would've died for your sins”
“Instead I just died inside”
“You kicked out the stage lights”
“But you're still performing”
“And I'll forget you but I'll never forgive”
“The smallest man who ever lived”

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.
you know what, good for taylor for being able to function while sad. i, however, can not. someone pass me a weighted blanket and give me three to five business days, i need to recover
always knew Taylor was for the high-functioning over-achieving burnout depressed girlies but now she has the *perfect* trio of songs to explain it- mirrorball, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, and this is me trying (in that order)
I love that Taylor’s words and music brings so many people together because we feel seen only through her. I’ve spent all my life trying to explain “I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day” and end up feeling like a clown. But in this fandom, we all get each other, we’re seen by one another through this shared piece of connection. That’s the beauty of Taylor’s raw and gut wrenching honesty.
literally just my music taste🎀 i love music i literally can’t do anything without it but my music taste is so bipolar💀💀
swifties of tumblr reblog and put in the tags your TTPD top 5
I really had to embody this song today I think i ate it up
