“Loml”: Taylor’s emotive song kicks off with her reminiscing about being called someone’s “love of my life” countless times. But as life goes, things took a turn.
She muses, “If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary.” She reflects on the fleeting nature of what they believed was eternal. “What we thought was for all time was momentary.”
The song concludes with a poignant message to her ex-lover: “You’re the loss of my life.” It’s not crystal clear who the song is about. Some speculate it’s about her long-term relationship with Joe.
However, lyrics like “rekindled flames” and “we were just kids, babe” suggest it might be about her old flame, Matty. She sings, “I’ve felt a glow like this never before and never since.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”: This track seems to be about Taylor’s resilience. She’s been slaying her Eras Tour, heartbreak notwithstanding. She’s “hittin’ my marks” on stage, performing for her adoring fans.
She masks her pain with a brave face: “Lights, camera, bitch smile.” Despite its upbeat rhythm, the song is laced with lyrics about unrequited love.
Taylor confesses, “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 adds, “You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart.”
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”: In this song, Taylor seems to be questioning “the smallest man who ever lived.” He appears to have abruptly exited their relationship.
She sings, “You kicked out the stage lights, but you’re still performing.” She continues, “And in plain sight you hid / But you are what you did.”
