    My favourite part of this song is how "screaming" gets quieter as the song progresses, because the old habits do, in fact, die, so the screaming has stopped. 🤯

    The Black Dog is a bar in Cork Ireland. Matty Healy and The 1975 played a show near by on June 13th 2023. Taylor and Matty broke up before that around June 2nd. She mentions The Starting Line in the song which is one of Matty’s favorite bands. She also sings “were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke”, so after they broke up at one of his concerts he spray painted SORRY? On a sheet that was hanging on the side of the stage for everyone to see. There is also a bar in London called The Black Dog and a lot of people believe Joe frequented there. So could be about both. It’s also a metaphor for depression. So could be all three.

    I went to the black dog back in August during the London shows. Great Pub!!!! Love their apple cider.
    Here in the first line, Taylor says " i am someone who until recent you share location with". Sharing location is sthg intimate and now Taylor and that person are passed that. That indicates that the event of the song are post-breakup. The Idea behind the song is watching your former love move on while you haven't yet

  • @KWyck417
    @KWyck417 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    This is truly my favorite song from TTPD. I think it so perfectly captures the various stages right after a break up, of how are you just going about your life, visiting places we used to go together like we didn't happen? Starting off being sad about it and growing to I hope it shitty there, I hope you are just as miserable as I am. And Old Habits Die Screaming is just a FIRE line.

    If anyone has ever had a long distance relationship or one that is intermittently long distance they will understand location sharing as a way, some couples like, to feel close and familiar in small quiet ways. When my partner was spending a lot of time over seas for work we each liked being able to “see” each other in “passing.” Like what Ian said about making dinner when his wife is a certain distance through her route. For long distance it’s nice to be able to see if your loved one is, for example, still at a meeting that’s running late; you can maybe run out to grab a bottle of wine that you’d forgotten to pick up for a FaceTime dinner date, which is quickly approaching. Knowing they’re going to be running late, without needing to interrupt and ask, is really helpful when your entire relationship is hinged on bonding digitally.
    Other times it just feels sweet and special to know someone likes you so much that it brings them a sense of comfort to feel closer to you simply by seeing a dot move on a map. Little things like that are really meaningful when people in love are spending months apart and miss each other a lot… which is why it would be so easy to forget to turn off in a breakup. Because it wasn’t ever a tool for spying it was always a tool for intimacy…

    Okay, so the majority of TTPD and some of The Anthology is actually about Matty Healy(long and confusing timeline of their relationship needed to understand). The way I've come to determine which songs are about Joe vs. Matty is actually pretty simple though. If a song talks about her being left/abandoned/ghosted/waiting then it's about Matty. If it's about her struggling to leave or ambiguity on the end of the relationship it's Joe.

    • @Pathfinder197
      @Pathfinder197 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      The album’s really more about tortured relationships in general - not only with JA and MH, but with the media, the music industry and her fans. The Albatross also alludes to how artists are almost tormented by society for entertainment.

  • @saravandaele2758
    @saravandaele2758 หลายเดือนก่อน +39

    TTPD is about different people, some songs are about Joe, some about Matty, some about Travis, some not about a guy. There isn't really a consensus among Swifties about this one. Some say Joe, some say Matty. Personally I lean more towards Matty because the songs about Joe are filled with a lot of sadness, but she wishes him well (like so long, London). The songs about Matty are filled with a lot more anger (like the smallest man who ever lived). Anyhow, it doesn't really matter who it's about, it's a beautiful song and most def one of my favorites.

    • @emmavink
      @emmavink หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      There are a bunch of lyrical clues that point to other Matty songs on TTPD, so the weight of evidence says Matty.
      The esoteric joke at the bar/pub idea is echoed in I Can Fix Him and partially in the imagery of slipping through bars (prison or drinking spots) on Smallest Man.
      Similarly, she has referred to smoke a few times on songs about Matty (TTPD, I Can Fix Him, etc.).
      She refers to Matty being with an Internet starlette on Chloe and the Gang, and here she references him taking a much younger girl to their spot in this song.
      There is also an actual black dog in the laboratory scene in the Fortnight MV which is about Matty.
      I think it's safe to say it's about him.

    Every Swiftie, when first listening to THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT:
    *Before* This album's gotta be mostly about Joe looking at that tracklist, but maybe there's one or two songs about Matty Healy?
    *After* NEVERMIND, it's almost all about Matty and two or three songs about Joe XD

    This one is about Matty. There are frequent references to other songs about Matty on TTPD all over the lyrics of The Black Dog.
    There is even an easter egg connecting this song to the Fortnight music video which was about Ratty.
    It's also been shown that the rumours that Joe hung out at The Black Dog was a publicity stunt by the owner.
    The song is anyway about a mutual spot special to the exes in the narrative. Not just a place one of them went often.

      😂😂 it sure does but, I guess it's still crunchy for now because Jake didn't seem to need it this time. I thought it might happen when he was explaining about the location thing but he got passed it!
      Sorry Jake, ❤ you! 😁

    There’s a lot of discourse on TTPD specifically on who the songs are about.
    Fans were pretty dead set on getting a Joe break up album with maybe a song or two about Matty but turns out it was the other way around. It was very confusing on first listen and definitely took time to process.
    I personally think this song is about Matty Healy!

    The first verse is after they broke up. He didn’t turn his location off, she could still see where he was. The girl jumping up to “The Starting Line”, is her memory, not what she thinks he’s doing right now.

    My guess is that a friend of hers saw him there. After she saw him go in, she may have asked someone in their friend group to take a peek (or there was already a friend there who was telling her about it). That had to be hurtful to hear that he jumped up to dance to their song with someone else who didn’t understand the depths of what it used to mean to them. So she knows that “The Starting Line” was played and it hurt. That’s the way I look at it.
    Idk - I’m happily married and share my location with my husband. It’s just for emergencies really. I don’t check it unless he’s traveling and I get worried about him.

    9:03 esoteric when only a few people understand the meaning of something. In this instance I think Taylor is referring to public comments people make about her which on the surface sound benign but IYKYK is actually a cruel slight.
    For example when the media asks people questions about her and they give seemingly benign answers to general audiences, but likely have a cutting edge if anyone knows the context or backstory.

    "The Starting Line" is a pop-punk band from Pennsylvania and formed in 1999.
    They have a song called "The Best of Me"
    Matty Healy and his band The 1975 did a cover of that song during their 2023 tour:
    In "Fresh out the Slammer she sings... Now we're at THE STARTING LINE, I did my time.
    I THINK SHE DID HER TIME with Joe and started the relationship with Matt as friends.
    Matt and her were friends and almost had a relationship during the 1989 Era.
    Matt kept her sane while the relationship with Joe wasn't going well and was falling apart.
    She describes this in How Can I Be Guilty As Sin.
    Joe is quiet and didn’t give her the affection she needed.
    We learned that through Tolerate it and other songs.
    I think she mixes things up a little bit in many songs.
    As she swirled Matt into all of her poems.
    In the end she leaves Joe.
    Matt who was her "Cosmic Love" and sh*t talks her under the table talking rings and talking cradles, becomes "The Loss of Her Life" and "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived:
    Enter Travis " The Alchemy"

      you clearly have no idea what you're talking about and just want everything to be about matty to fit your weird narrative. guilty as sin is NOT about any man in particular - she is reflecting on how she wants to be happy yet people will always misunderstand her and make her feel ashamed for it. people like you who are obsessed with doing paternity tests with these songs instead of consuming them for their messages is exactly what taylor is sick of from fans. that's why the album is filled with red herrings - she is tired of people trying to obsessively assign songs to individuals in her life and you are part of the problem. she is a real person - not a character that you can theorize about as if it's fact.

      And you're the Taylor expert? 🤣
      I'm pretty much on target. Tell me i'm wrong about the starting line. Nope, everything I said is accurate.
      So if I don't know her personally, you do?
      I will be respectful here because I respect their page.
      Bless your sweet little heart.
      Bye, sweetie.

      @@karol-ys5ow have you read the ‘In Summation’ from the vinyl? She makes it very clear this album is about two separate relationships (not including Travis and the music industry/public)
      Everyone is welcome to interpret songs how they like, but guilty as sin really gives Matty Healy. Have you been listening to the story she tells about him? Not to mention the “he” subject in the song..
      While I do think some fans take the “weaved you into all of my poems” lyric out of context, it feels very obvious to me what songs on TTPD are about Matty vs Joe once you fathom the stories she’s telling.

    • @cherylcugno7208
      @cherylcugno7208 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Shan72393 I agree with you 100%
      TTPD is about all the things you mentioned. You described yourself and what Taylor has said in the "In Summation" very well.
      We have watched Taylor weave her stories into metaphors about her life, friends, family, enemies, relationships, friends relationships, happiness, sorrow, anger, stories, books, movies, and her imagination for years. Sometimes, we are correct, and sometimes we learn as time goes on more pieces to her puzzles. She can do that and more even with a broken heart. Great comment Shan 💋

    I think this one is about Matty because she mentioned her rain soaked body shaking, and one of her Eras shows that Matty and her left together was a rain show. Joe has come out and said he’s never been to that bar before, anyway.
