The worst part of Tolerate It is that at the end she says again “I sit and watch you,” which tells the listener that the breaking free happened only in her head.

[@LetVmoon]

I always saw it as, like, in the beginning, in the first "I sit and watch you", she was looking at him with sadness, wanting him to see her, appreciate her and wondering why she stays there when he clearly doesn't care, but on the last one she's not expecting him to look at her, she's analysing him, seeing him for who he is for the first time and ready to move on and break the cycle.

I also like to think that because she uses golden in other songs in the context of meaning love (and particularly love with Joe), so I think that this line is saying that although she didn't want to marry this person, she truly did love them, and that she couldn't be with the person because of her mental health

Its the aches of growing while you’re already grown, reconnecting your past and going back to heal the biggest heartbreak we have, growing up, leaving childhood behind, mourning the child inside of you, this album is absolutely the first time you see yourself in the mirror when you turn 20/30/40/50, its the nothing changing, but the death of something that you didn’t even knew you had. I wrote a lot but the closing track and album name, evermore is just the core soul of this album, that one day you wake up and you realize you ARE gonna live, the day you CHOOSE to love life, romanticize everything. Its life, long story short, youre gonna survive, its such a hopeful album.

More evidence of Taylor's pen game: 1. Happiness is theorized to be about Taylor's best friend, Abigail's divorce :(( "7 years in Heaven" adds up to the number of years Abigail dated and was married to her ex-husband. "Shit we're dividing up" has strong ties to the coldness of the divorce process and the lyric: "after giving you the best I had, tell me what's to give after that" parallels "and Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind" in Fifteen (A song Taylor wrote for Abigail in her Love Story album) 2. Happiness also references Great Gatsby with "I hope she'll be a beautiful fool" and "Im paralyzed with Happiness" (both Daisy's words) 3. Champagne Problem's bridge "One for the money, two for the show," references a children's rhyme that people sing when preparing to start something (such as used in Blue Suede Shoes by Elvis) except Taylors' is an inversion from the pov of someone ending something :'(( 4. Champagne Problem's bridge again: "Your midas touch on the chevy door, November flush and your flannel cure" is just geniusly poetic for "He opened the car door for me and gave me his jacket cus I was cold" 5. Tolerate It is inspired by a book, Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier 6. In Long Story Short "Past me I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things, your nemesis will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing" Kanye and Kim's divorce shade? 7. In Marjorie "Every scrap of you would be taken from me" makes me wonder if this is a reference to her Master's rights being sold to Scooter. The music her Grandma inspired her to pursue was taken from her 8. Closure is a big middle finger to Scooter Braun HEHEHE That's all I have so far but this album is rich with poetry. Drop more easter eggs in the replies!

[@anahifigueroa7785]

The production in closure sounds like a BIG MACHINE, maybe being destroyed?

[@kenzieaarons5609]

Gold rush continues her theme of love being golden. Like in the song daylight. Scooter and his wife are getting divorced so that’s more of the “your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing” reference “Never be so clever you forget to be kind, never be so kind you forget to be clever” and “never be so polite you forget your power, never wield such power you forget to be polite” are cheesy words of advice her grandmother said to her. She says “should’ve kept every grocery store receipt because every scrap of you would be taken from me” means all she has of her grandmother is that advice. It’s time to go is a huge reference to Scott, scooter, and Karlie. She’s leaving her past to take care of her future.

She says that “the costal town we wandered round had never seen a love as pure it” and “fades into the gray” of my day old tee.

And also... she starts the song and ends the song with the same 5 words, "I sit and watch you"... in other words, she could have ended it, "break free and leave us in ruins", but she doesn't. She's trapped and just deals with it. This is brilliant song writing. Paints such a vivid picture. Oh and the lyric, "now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life" might be one of the most painful I've heard. So. Much. Pain.
