Music
The singer gifts us another powerful bridge to scream/sing/cry to.
Just the things I was going through and the things I was writing about.
I never had an album where I needed songwriting more than I needed it onTortured Poets.
Here are The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived lyrics, explained.
Was any of it true?
Gazing at me starry-eyed in your Jehovahs Witness suit, who the f*ck was that guy?
Swift sings about a guy who showed her off, but didnt treat her right in private.
But then theres the bridge and it might go down as one of Swifts best ever.
Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
she asks as the music climbs, before implying that the ex was living a lie the entire time.
Were you writing a book?
Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In 50 years, will all this be declassified?
Swift has written somedevastating breakup bridges,but few have come close to this level of venom.
Its one thing to imply someone is a poor partner.
Its another thing entirely to paint them as a malevolent force.
You deserve prison but you wont get time, she sings.
But… WhoIsThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived?
That song, too, navigated the gap between a relationships public facade and private challenges.
