Songtexte Eldest Daughter - Track by Track - Taylor Swift

Track five on my album is called "Eldest Daughter"
And this is, it's a love song about
Kind of the roles that we play in our public life
Because now, nowadays everyone has a public life
You have a life that you portray to other people

Or what you portray on social media
And then you have the you that everyone gets to know
Who has earned the right to be closest to you
And it's really hard to be sincere publicly
Because that's not really what our culture rewards
People reward you for being like tough and unbothered
And like, too busy to care

And you may be that about some things
But everyone has things that matter to them
And people that matter to them
This song really kinda gets to the heart of
When someone gets close enough to you to earn your trust
That's when you can admit to them that you actually really do care
About some things
