[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of Taylor’s albums are growers not showers. I need a few listens to get there. The exceptions for me are reputation, folklore, evermore and the anthology (back half of ttpd). 
Showgirl has taken a few listens but now I’m all in! Opalite is pure joy!  I honestly feel bad for anyone who can’t just have fun with this one.[/quote]

Opalite lyrics sounds like she's anti-black people. The onyx nights giving way to opalite. Travis had black girlfriends and now is with a white girl (after trying to snag a black star, Meghan The Stallion). That's how it reads to me.

Not a fan of this MAGA album. [/quote]

I think onyx is Matty Healy: his eye color, hair, the black clothes he wears. It’s giving “cinephile in black and white.” Their relationship was intense and tumultuous, hence the lyric about her dancing through “lightning strikes” and being sleepless. Then came the calm blue skies, the opalite. It’s a reference to Travis’ eye color and birth stone. It’s a man-made stone and a metaphor for “man-made happiness,” in her words, whatever that means. It sounds like she is trying hard to convince everyone, herself included.

I do not like Matty Healy and think Taylor's interest in him is disappointing, but I'm also not even a little convinced she's over him or that she feels for Travis with the same level of intensity.

I think with Travis she's "settling" for the guy who really, really likes her/needs her, on the theory he will be more loyal and committed. Which is probably true, and she's lucky to find a guy like that because not all women do. But I think their relationship will always be lopsided and he'll always be more interested in her than she is in him.

I know other women who have done similar and their relationships go the distance and seem to result in happy home lives. But in one case where the kids are now HS/college age, they are now getting a divorce. It's kind of like she locked him down to create the family and commitment she needed when she wanted to have kids, but now that her kids are grown she doesn't need him anymore and is moving on to more interesting, exciting men. No more golden retriever.[/quote]
