“Loml” is a song that hits you right in the feels. Taylor starts off reminiscing about being called someone’s “love of my life” a million times over. But then, things take a turn.
She sings, “If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary.” She reflects on how their forever love was just a fleeting moment. The song ends with a punch – “You’re the loss of my life.”
Now, you might think this is about her long-term beau, Joe. But wait, there’s a twist. Lyrics like “rekindled flames” and “we were just kids, babe” suggest it’s about Matty. She sings about a glow she’s never felt before or since.
Then there’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” This one’s about Taylor rocking her Eras Tour, heartbreak and all. She’s “hittin’ my marks” on stage, hiding her pain behind a brave smile. “Lights, camera, bitch smile,” she croons.
Despite its upbeat rhythm, the song is a tale of unrequited love. “I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague,” she confesses. But hey, she’s productive in her misery, “You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart.”
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” is another intriguing track. Taylor’s got a bone to pick with this man who seemingly ghosted her. “You kicked out the stage lights, but you’re still performing,” she sings. She calls him out, “And in plain sight you hid / But you are what you did.”
