, there is a greater sense of terror and power that comes in the night. “My twisted knife/my sleepless night/my winless fight,” she illuminates on’s “happiness” paints a spooky portrait ““beyond the terror in the nightfall/haunted by the look in my eyes.” Both tracks use nighttime imagery to symbolize just how broken these relationships are and how her emotions are heightened by darkness.
Flickered throughout Taylor’s collection of songs are moments where Taylor places herself in the spot of someone else feeling haunted by the night. In “Innocent,” a song fromabout forgiveness and redemption, she empathizes with the struggle of making a mistake and reliving it at night . Elsewhere, the haunting “my tears ricochet” explores betrayal under the guise of a tormenter showing up at the funeral of someone he controlled.
As one of the most in-demand artists on the globe, it’s understandable that the night is a time when Taylor has the time and space to reflect alone. And if secrecy and cataclysmic romantic adventure thrive at night, so does the existential crisis. We hear it on “Nothing New,” where she sings, “I wake up in the middle of the night/it’s like I can feel time moving.” Anxieties about irrelevancy, aging, and her future run rampant.
When looking at her work as a whole, the night is the undercurrent tying all of her tracks together, creeping in to the point where Taylor has crafted an entire concept album around it. “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams,” she wrote in herannouncement. “The floors we pace and the demons we face.
