Tortured Poets - Tumblr Posts
The Albatross
Potential Themes:
-Guilt and Regret: The albatross is often associated with guilt and the weight of past mistakes. It could suggest a song exploring a past action that still haunts her, asking for permission to release the pent-up emotions.
-Feeling Trapped: The albatross, unable to land for years, could symbolize feeling trapped or burdened by a situation she can't escape. The album's title, "The Tortured Poets Department," further supports this idea of feeling confined and tormented.
-Betrayal and Heartbreak: The albatross' complex mating habits could represent betrayal or heartbreak within a relationship. The question "Am I allowed to cry?" might be asking for permission to express raw emotions after a painful experience.
-Breaking Free from Expectations: Albatrosses have a long period of solitary flight before returning to land. This could parallel a desire to break free from societal pressure and expectations, seeking emotional liberation.

People who say they don't like or understand Tortured Poets are not listening!!! They are more focused on who is it about? or What about? They are not listening to the deep meaning, the lyrics, the absolute masterpiece of words and poems.
This is what she said it was, A manuscript, a collection of poems never meant to be seen in the light of day! The chaos, and Mania she went through. Its not meant for mainstream song’s or media like midnights.
This album is not a bob just meant to be listened like any other songs.
Like any poems its meant to be analyzed, to be sat on.
every time there is something new you never considered before.

this isnt the comments section whatsoever, but i have so many different thoughts and etc on this to share. inthaf has definitely been a nice reminder for me recently of what could be if i just hold out hope and keep on going on, and “sweet tea in the summer/cross your heart won’t tell no other” is 💗💗.. other lyrics (but the list is absolutely not limited to just these,) includes “im lonely but im good/im bitter but I swear im fine/i’ll save all my romanticisms for my inner life/if comfort is a construct/i don’t believe in good luck/now that I know what’s what”, “devils in the details but you got a friend in me”, “im a mess but im the mess that you wanted” and “something different bloomed/writing in my room/i search the party of better bodies/just to learn that my dreams aren’t rare/but there were pages turned with the bridges burned/everything you loose is a step you take/yeah you can face this,” .
The face of someone who can do it with a broken heart… and you never know who has one. 🥺 Reply with the Taylor lyric that heals you. ❤️🩹
