‘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.
