Typewriter: Missing the '1'
--------------------------------------------- The Tortured Poets Department Lyric:
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 You left your typewriter at my apartment Straight from the tortured poets department I think some things I never say Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?" But you're in self-sabotage mode Throwing spikes down on the road But I've seen this episode and still loved the show Who else decodes you? And who's gonna hold you like me? And who's gonna know you, if not me?
Meaning: Taylor watched her muse, left the typewriter on TTPD. And never judge her muse, why use the old technology like typewriter when we can use new technology like computer or cellphone. She never asks what her muse is doing and why is using the typewriter.
Taylor saw her muse in self destructive stage. Acts not normal. Ruining their life. She has been there before, she knows the muse too well. Really well. And she asks who else decode you? Who knows the muse better than her. Who else watches the muse better than her? Who else understands the muse better than her?
But, she still loves the muse mind games. She still loves the relationship. She still wants to play this game.
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 I laughed in your face and said "You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we're modern idiots" And who's gonna hold you like me? Nobody No-fucking-body Nobody
Meaning: Taylor probably said, their love story isn't legendary as Dylan Thomas and Patti Smith. But, it was their modern love story. It will be legendary too someday. Their love story will be legendary someday. This relationship will be the greatest love story someday. Nobody, knows you like she does.
