The Awkward Probinsyana


"Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life." - Taylor Swift

I don't know about you but if it's not a re-recording of Speak Now I was really hoping to get a new album from Taylor and she really did not disappoint because she delivered. When this was announced, I couldn't wait to hear the entirety of this album. I am pretty sure that we'll get a lot of stories from this one especially when she said that these are stories from 13 sleepless nights of her life. 🥲🥹

The good thing that was when this album was released, we have a day off from work so I can fully immerse myself in all the songs. The album was released at midnight (est) but in the Philippines, the album was released exactly during lunchtime 🍗. Lol. Fun fact: I am currently listening to the midnights album while I am writing this so that I have more things to write about this album. I originally want to rank the songs of the album from my favorite to my least favorite among the 13 songs but I just couldn't do it.

So let's just talk about how I felt the 1st time I listen to each track and my favorite lyric/s shall we? 💕


Track 1: Lavender Haze 
Just want that kind of love that doesn't give a damn what people say 💕
Favorite Lyrics: I been under scrutiny, you handle it beautifully // They're bringing up my history but you weren't even listening

Track 2: Maroon
The vibe of this song is the kind I will play during rainy sleepless nights. 🌨
Favorite Lyrics: And I wake with your memory over me, that's a real fucking legacy to leave

Track 3: Anti-Hero
Ahhh this song speaks to me on so many levels. This is how I feel most of the time. This is just a reality of sleepless nights.
Favorite Lyrics: Sometimes I feel that everybody is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on the hill //Too big to hang out slowly lurching toward your favorite city, pierced through the heart but never killed

Track 4: Snow on the Beach (ft. Lana Del Ray)
I also love the vibe of this song, something I would play on my wedding day. 👰🏼‍♀️
Favorite Lyrics: Life is emotionally abusive and time can't stop me quite like you did // It's like snow at the beach, weird but it was beautiful

Track 5: You're On Your Own, Kid
This is the song that my 16 year old self will play on Friday nights.
Favorite Lyrics: 'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned, everything you lose is a step you take

Track 6: Midnight Rain
This song is one of my early favorites! This song has been on repeat since the album was released. 💜
Favorite Lyrics: He stayed the same, all of me changed like midnight.

Track 7: Question...?
Can I ask you a question? How the hell can you guys rate these songs when I love them all!
Favorite Lyrics: Painted all my nights a color I've searched for since // When she said it was too much.. do you wish you could still touch ...her? It's just a question..

Track 8: Vigilante Shit
Lol I saw people hating this song but this kinda reminds me of reputation era Taylor so I love it.
Favorite Lyrics: Draw a cat eye sharp enough to kill a man (This is gonna be on my ig caption one day hahahahaha) // So on the weekends, I don't dress for friends. Lately I've been dressing for revenge

Track 9: Bejeweled
You know what, I'm just gonna say it. I love all the songs in Midnights. This one is something I would play while dancing around in my room alone.
Favorite Lyrics: Best believe I'm still bejeweled when I walk in the room I can still make the whole place shimmer ✨ // Sapphire tears on my face, sadness became my whole sky ✨

Track 10: Labyrinth
Stages of being "in-love" c/o inang.
Favorite Lyrics: You know how scared I am of elevators never trust it if it rises fast.. it can't last.

Track 11: Karma
Cause Karma really loves her like a cat purring in her lap.
Favorite Lyrics: Weave your little webs of opacity; My pennies made your crown // 'Cause karma is the thunder rattling your ground. Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter; Karma's gonna track you down, step by step from town to town.

Track 12: Sweet Nothing
All I can say is, I want what Taylor and Joe have.. whatever it is. 💕
Favorite Lyrics: On the way home
I wrote a poem
You say, "what a mind"
This happens all the time

Track 13: Mastermind
I think it was also from Taylor that I heard the term "clockwork" hahaha! My vocabulary has expanded with her help, tbh!
Favorite Lyrics: I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork the dominoes cascaded in a line. // What if I told you I'm a mastermind? And now you're mine. // It was all by design 'Cause I'm a mastermind.

And a few hours later.. She added more masterpieces! 6 Bonus Tracks!!


Bonus Tracks

The Great War
Favorite Lyrics: You said I have to trust more freely but diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire and maybe it's the past that's talkin'

Bigger Than The Whole Sky
Favorite Lyrics: You were more than just a short time. And I've got a lot to pine about, I've got a lot to live without. // I'm never gonna meet what could've been, would've been, what should've been you.

Paris
Favorite Lyrics: I wanna brainwash you into loving me forever
I wanna transport you to somewhere the culture's clever
Confess my truth in swooping sloping cursive letters
Let the only flashing lights be the tower at midnight

High Infidelity
Favorite Lyrics: You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love, the slowest way is never loving them enough.

Glitch
Favorite Lyrics: We were supposed to be just friends. You don't live in my part of town, but maybe I'll see you out some weekend

Would've, Could've, Should've
Favorite Lyrics: I can't let this go, I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won't close, I keep on waiting for a sign. // I regret you all the time.

Dear Reader
Favorite Lyrics: Dear Reader, if it feels like a trap you're already in one.

Overall, this album is definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me! Stream Midnights now! 💕
