Closure

What the artist means Finding closure could be quite a herculean task, luckily for Taylor Swift, she's well on her way to finding that well-deserved closure. She's singing through the hurt, she's crooning about a lover that she has put in her past, and now she's no longer feeling pain anytime she remembers what they once had. She's doing better, it cut deep knowing him, but she's no longer crying, now she has found closure and she didn't need him to. She's fine with her spite, tears, bears, and candles. She's moving on a brighter path, she's willing to find solace in the better days ahead, and she's resisting the urge to trade words. She doesn't bother to reach out, now that she's in a better place, all she can do is move up and not the other way around.

What the song means to me This song is perfect for the title, if there was anything like an apt song dedicated to closure it would be this. She's sounding a little hurt still, but who wouldn't after doing through so much anguish and pain. She's loving herself, she's looking up to better days, and she doesn't mind searching for love in the finer places. All that matters is that she's finding unique ways of moving on, and she's not ready to be treated like a situation that needs to be handled. She's hopeful and that's a step in the right direction, it seems that closure isn't that far away. I will give this song a rating of 7/10.

The fourteenth track off her latest studio album titled "evermore" was produced by Aaron Dessner, BJ Burton & James McAlister, and released on December 11, 2020.

‘closure’ is the most instrumental of the songs on Taylor Swift’s album evermore and opens with a discorded rhythm. The entire song sounds disjointed, but this only adds to the power of ‘closure.’ This is a song where Swift still feels the pain about what happened, and while she keeps saying she doesn’t need closure, we all know reading between the lyrics, she is not doing fine and is still looking for closure. Just because she “got your letter” and says she is “doing better,” we all know that is not the truth. The truth is it “cut deep to know ya/ Right to the bone” and that the pain is still deep within her heart. While we all lie to people around us about how we are doing and put on a brave face, it is perhaps most important we do not lie to ourselves and accept when we are hurting and still need more time to move on and find closure.
