Old habits die screaming meaning it’s hard not to repeat the same habits like going back to a relationship that you know is over, but as she says, “I thought I was better safe than starry eyed”. If you notice throughout the song, her scream gets louder, and then at the end it fades off because as more time goes by it gets easier to move on and the scream starts to fade out.
One of the most heartbreaking songs she has written! I still can't move on to the the fact that she turned "old habits die screaming" into "even if I die screaming." It makes me think that she's the old habit, and it's gut wrenching. I also remember someone on yt saying that this is the All Too Well of this album!
You’re an honest riot and I love when u say you don’t know a word and have never heard of it in your life but you need to look it up real quick so you expand your vocabulary! Y’all are great!
I choked on my water that I just took a sip of at 4:53 Jeremiah: *Pauses video* Johnny (Without Jeremiah even speaking one word): Don’t ask me. I don’t know what it means. 😂🤣
esoteric: intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest. And the way I have always heard it was referencing "Witchy" things like Crystals or different beliefs... In particular Astrology ( and you know how she put their star signs in mastermind)
Love Johnny’s assessment of the ending. “I hope it’s shitty in The Black Dog” is my favorite part of the whole thing in spite of all of the other amazing stuff in the lyrics.
Y’all are hysterical. Jeremiah, you’re really funny and every time you interpret you say idk and second guess yourself and Johnny always says sure it could mean that but knows it doesn’t!! So good 😂
I think the expression "old habits die screaming" means that it's hard to break them, you'll try to break them but they go down screaming and fighting. I also very much enjoy "I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog"
“Old habits die screaming” refers to Jeremiah constantly pushing the pause button with 9 seconds left and “is that it?” …Johnny about to lose it and trying not to scream at him 🤣🤣🤣 Love you guys and your reactions with attention to the lyrics!!Impressive!!
Omg... I've been listening to this song multiple times but while watching you guys I just realized that the first two "Old habits die screaming" is about her... while the last one was about him... he always run with a tail between his legs 😶
“Old habits die hard” - I think it’s in reference to habits that you get used to in a [long term] relationship. For example, turning off ones location 😬👀 She also says “6 wks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke” - like, I know it’s bad for me, but ~old habits die screaming~ and I miss what’s bad for me. 😢
Old habits don’t just die hard (meaning that it’s hard to break a habit, and the longer you have the habit, the harder it is to get over it. Screaming is saying it is not just hard, but they are fighting, and yelling and just not going away silently.
"Old habits DIE hard!"...hence screaming!...not going out without a fight...as they are being killed! Another version of the phrase is, "Old habits are hard to kill!"... Genius writting!
I saw a video on TikTok. They put a picture up of Taylor behind the bar and named their burger “The Swift Burger”. 😂 he’ll never be able to go back again
@@azahora22 Yeah definitely. It certainly can't be pleasant having one of your hang out spots taken over by your ex's massive fan base though 😬 Unintentional(or who knows it could have been intentional) double meaning
Esoteric means something like a secret or hiding something. I love this song, it’s so deep! Thank you guys for reacting to a lot of Taylor songs and videos ❤
After a couple of listens, I realized that every time she says "screaming", it changes and gets weaker and weaker. Like in the beginning she's angry and screaming for her life, and it gets quieter each time, like she's running out of energy to keep screaming.
@@tj6930its definitely exhaustion than getting better since the lyrics go from "magic fabric of our dreaming" to "tragic fabric of our dreaming" towards the end
It’s the same in “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” She does another louder scream towards the very end, but it starts with her full on screaming and each repetition of the chorus she sings it much calmer until the final one.
She did have her house on Cornelia Street (another song of hers when they were still together) in London and she did truly sell that house. It only had memories of them being happy together and she just couldn’t go back there again. An “esoteric joke” is an inside joke that only a few people know what it’s about. Usually best friends or couples. I’m sure you two have some. Like the last 9 blank seconds of the lyric video. Jkjkjk. 😂 Jeremiah bops his head so fast, even when it’s a slower paced song. I guess I’ll never understand that. Haha. 🤔🫡🤣
She gave that guy 6 years of her life. Lived in a house w him but he wouldn’t be seen out with her. It’s pretty cruel. She wanted to break up before but he didn’t want to. They talked about marriage and babies.
For everyone saying this song is about Joe, this song is 100% about Matty Healy. Taylor left Joe, not the other way around. The Black Dog BAR, not the pub in England, is in Cork Ireland and it is a place Matty Healy played with the 1975. Taylor was with him there. Lyrics such as missing the smoke, making fun of me with some esoteric joke, tail between your legs you’re leaving, etc… all references to Matty. Nothing in this song relates to Joe.
Tail between your legs just means hes leaving afraid like a coward. Continuing the theme that shes had in few songs about him that he acted brave but hes actually a coward.
The Black Dog is also a Pub in London that Taylor & Joe used to visit. The owners of the Black Dog said after this album dropped they are so busy, and happy. They also made created a drink named after Taylor. I doubt Joe visits there anymore. 🍹
Please, please please do The music video to I Don’t Want To Live Forever with Zayn and Taylor. I didn’t know she wrote the song for the longest time! 🤯 th-cam.com/video/7F37r50VUTQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ex20QgNYhC8AUEk2
Please react to RM ,RM of BTS will release his new album RIGHT PLACE WRONG PERSON on Friday 24 th May 2024 He had a great discography, and lyricism is top notch ,a work of art .I promise you will definitely love it ...
Hello! Can you please react to RM's new album "Right place, Wrong person" out on Friday May 24th. RM is a rapper and amazing artist. Would love to see your reaction :)
The Black Dog is also another term for depression and sadness. She cleverly used the name of the Pub in the title to show how she was feeling.
'Don't ask me, I don’t know what it means" 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
That was the best 😂
Old habits die hard. Old habits die screaming. It's about how hard it is to let go of the old ways.
Esoteric is something that refers to a very specific special interest that very few people would understand.
It means internal, almost secretive..
like an inside joke right?
An esoteric joke would be an inside joke. Very specific that only a select few would understand
She did suggest listening to this with a dictionary.

The Black Dog is the name of the bar in London when Taylor Swift and her ex spend their relationship and hangout that place.

Jeremiah: *Pauses video*
Johnny (Without Jeremiah even speaking one word): Don’t ask me. I don’t know what it means.
😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
That was awesome. He knew exactly what was coming at the pause 😂
In my top 5 off the album
The age old idiom ‘old habits die hard’ but updated for Taylor’s songwriting purposes
esoteric: intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.
And the way I have always heard it was referencing "Witchy" things like Crystals or different beliefs... In particular Astrology ( and you know how she put their star signs in mastermind)
Love Johnny’s assessment of the ending. “I hope it’s shitty in The Black Dog” is my favorite part of the whole thing in spite of all of the other amazing stuff in the lyrics.
Her singing is part of her healing. Joe couldn't handle such a superstar, Travis can❤
Because Travis GETS IT
Joe's favorite bar that he probably can't go back to now 😂😂 Mastermind!
Y’all are hysterical. Jeremiah, you’re really funny and every time you interpret you say idk and second guess yourself and Johnny always says sure it could mean that but knows it doesn’t!! So good 😂
I think the expression "old habits die screaming" means that it's hard to break them, you'll try to break them but they go down screaming and fighting.
I also very much enjoy "I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog"
Old habits die SCREAMING 💔
You two make me love Sundays even more. Thank you for Taylor Sunday reactions.

If Johnny's right, it's even sadder.. omg 💔
Taylor has such a way with words😎😎
"Old habits DIE hard!"...hence screaming!...not going out without a fight...as they are being killed!
Another version of the phrase is, "Old habits are hard to kill!"...
Genius writting!
Such a beautiful song ,you can feel her pain😢 it calls back to TSMWEL where she thought MH was making fun of her of her /playing a joke on her
Esoteric is being hard to understand so it was perfect for this discussion 😆
When she says ‘I still miss the smoke’ she could also be referring to London as we Brits often refer to London as ‘the Smoke’!
One of my top two favorites on the Anthology
My dude, STOP cutting off the last word of the song. Hand to heart. Let the last phrase breathe. You’re KILLING ME.
Just had to come point out... "I hope it's sh!tty in the Black Dog"
The Black Dog has been packed with Swifties since this song came out...
😅
I saw a video on TikTok. They put a picture up of Taylor behind the bar and named their burger “The Swift Burger”. 😂 he’ll never be able to go back again
I think she meant though that its shitty bc he ends up being reminded of her while on a date with another girl.
@@azahora22 Yeah definitely. It certainly can't be pleasant having one of your hang out spots taken over by your ex's massive fan base though 😬 Unintentional(or who knows it could have been intentional) double meaning
@@rebeccavliet2011 yeah, you never know with her.
For people confuse esoteric joke is a fancy way of basically saying inside joke
Esoteric means something like a secret or hiding something.
I love this song, it’s so deep! Thank you guys for reacting to a lot of Taylor songs and videos ❤
After a couple of listens, I realized that every time she says "screaming", it changes and gets weaker and weaker. Like in the beginning she's angry and screaming for her life, and it gets quieter each time, like she's running out of energy to keep screaming.
Or she is getting better, the scream is getting quiter.
Ouch

Yes, and the last one is like her last breath and it cuts a little bit.. OMFG 💔
The guys a habit that wont quit.
Please react to Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me and The Prophecy next! If you think this one is really sad... whew, have tissues ready!
She did have her house on Cornelia Street (another song of hers when they were still together) in London and she did truly sell that house. It only had memories of them being happy together and she just couldn’t go back there again.

You're making it sound like he was ashamed though. It just sounds like he really wanted to be private about their relationship.
i feel like the "old habit" is her like shes saying that she is his old habit especially when she changes the lyric to "even if i die screaming"
Old Dog is a pub in London
The Black Dog is bar that Joe hangs out at
For everyone saying this song is about Joe, this song is 100% about Matty Healy. Taylor left Joe, not the other way around.

The black Dog is the bar Joe went to
pls react to the smallest man who ever lived!!! the bridge is gonna blow your minddd
Tail between your legs just means hes leaving afraid like a coward. Continuing the theme that shes had in few songs about him that he acted brave but hes actually a coward.

سلام عليكم أصدقاء

The Black Dog is also a Pub in London that Taylor & Joe used to visit. The owners of the Black Dog said after this album dropped they are so busy, and happy. They also made created a drink named after Taylor. I doubt Joe visits there anymore. 🍹
Esoteric joke is like an inside joke!
Please react to Taylor Swift - Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? It is amazing song...one of her best work so far.
SEVENTEEN MAESTRO IS OUT NOWWWW
The screaming gets quieter as the song progresses. Hopefully it means she’s moving on.
Esoteric means understood by a very few and liked by a few. I hope this boyfriend is true
