“Loml” is a touching tune from Taylor. She starts by reminiscing about being called someone’s “love of my life” countless times. But then, things took a turn.
She muses, “If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary.” The forever they had imagined was fleeting. The song concludes with a poignant message to the person, “You’re the loss of my life.”
Could it be about her long-term relationship with Joe? Or maybe it’s about Matty. Lyrics like “rekindled flames” and “we were just kids, babe” suggest a reconnection with Matty. She confesses, “I’ve felt a glow like this never before and never since.”
Next up, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” This one seems to be about Taylor powering through her Eras Tour amidst heartbreak. She’s “hittin’ my marks” on stage, cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd. Her emotions? Hidden behind a brave face. “Lights, camera, bitch smile,” she croons.
Despite its upbeat rhythm, the song is laden with unrequited love. “I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague / I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it’s an art,” she belts out. She adds, “You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart.”
Then there’s “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Taylor has some questions for this man, who seemingly exited their relationship without warning. “You kicked out the stage lights, but you’re still performing,” she sings. “And in plain sight you hid / But you are what you did.”
