Midnights – Taylor Swift’s Album Review

Lavender haze

Feels like a colour. Like I am melting into a lavender jelly, if you will! The electro-pop and synth wave beats aligning are great to hear. It just makes me think of those lights on the billboards and restaurants on a rainy dewy day where you can see the lights reflecting themselves into a wavy water in the pond. It feels something like that! Periwinkle is the colour of 2022 and it is kinda lavendary as well.

My fav verse-

Talk your talk and go viral

I just need this love spiral

Maroon

The way she sings maroon. She is making me love all these colours. I wanna paint my nails with them all. This takes into a little dark corner I believe. It feels like the blood is scarlet and it starts building up slow but deep.

I am gonna add my favourite verses here:

And I wake with your memory over me

That’s a real fuckin’ legacy to leave

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed your wine into me

And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet

It was maroon

The mark they saw on my collarbone

The rust that grew between telephones

The lips I used to call home

So scarlet, it was maroon

Anti – Hero

Mirrors and it is about sun. It is about self-destruction. Reminds me of Judgement card in tarot. Kinda reflectory. It kinda talks about I will go blind before looking at my self and what Ive become. I really like this song.

Favorite Lyrics:

I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Snow on the beach:

Lana be just humming in the background. The tunes feels like it is has been sampled from one of her earlier albums. Can’t put a finger exactly. But it just felt like I have heard of this tune before. Coming to the song, It is nice. Feels very cosmic and poetic lyrically speaking.

My favorite verse:

This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen

I searched ‘aurora borealis green’

I’ve never seen someone lit from within

Blurring out my periphery

You’re on your own, Kid

Nice one! Kinda feels like the empowered version of “I knew you were trouble” Think of dealing with ignorance, rejection and not being seen by the person you are fond of. She talks about escaping the space and escaping the situation she is in. Outta the city, outta the current situation. She feels that ultimate truth in her core. She got herself! I especially love the ending verse of the chorus.

The verse that made me giggle:

I touch my phone as if it’s your face

Favorite verse:

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this

I hosted parties and starved my body

Like I’d be saved by a perfect kiss

The jokes weren’t funny, I took the money

My friends from home don’t know what to say

I looked around in a blood-soaked gown

And I saw something they can’t take away

‘Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned

Everything you lose is a step you take

So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it

You’ve got no reason to be afraid

Midnight Rains

Well, I didn’t expected that! The beats feel like the typical background music of a sensation tech advert. Something revolutionary. Like advert of Louis Phillips or apple. The beat drop and gushing into the next beats that is very squeezed out. Are you getting my point!?

Listen! to it. It is about the goals we chase and the hearts we break. She here kinda assumes that this man thinks of her only when she appears on TV. Like, okay!

My favorite line:

Holiday peppermint candy

Question…?

This is my song! Woohoo!! Liked it very much… Like, when you know the answers and just wanna have a conversation to get the ball rolling from all sides. A buildup of treacherous stuff scrutinized by questions. Just right and tight questions. Asking questions really makes things nice in my head. Shake me up too. haha! Love the flow!!

My favorite verse:

By the way

I just may like some explanations

I would like to say that you SHOULD not miss out the Bejeweled, Labyrinth lyrical train at all.

Karma

Well! Past actions have their consequences somehow. THis song kinda reminded me of Halsey’s I am woman I am a God.

My favorite verse:

Karma is a cat

Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

Sweet Nothing makes me think like she is talking about the music industry now and then.

Mastermind: studyworthy!

My favourite verse:

You see all the wisest women had to do it this way

‘Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover’s game

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail

Strategy sets the scene for the tale

I’m the wind in our free-flowing sails

And the liquor in our cocktails

The Great War & Vigilante Shit is on repeat as well at the moment! Totally groovy material here.

Other songs: Labyrinth, bejeweled. They have good lyrics thou’. Might grow on me later.

There is more to this! Enjoy!! Also, listen to her 3am version of Midnights too.

Taylor’s new album is out now!
