this song is about her insecurities! (navigating fame, battling an eating disorder, and also battling her own mind, etc) The songs from her new album are inspired about what she's thinking at midnight!
these are her demons that keep her up at midnight. The other self is her dark side telling her she isn’t good enough, she’s fat. She has depression. Yes, her inner self, her mind, is her own worst enemy dudes! That’s what this is about. But everyone is rooting for the anti-hero and she feels like that is her. Not the hero. Taylor is very insecure, but its all in her mind. Her mind!
