More song connections.
I tried to color-code similarities between the 3 songs.
We have:
jail/trapped imagery
weather
specifically, sunshine
skies/night
home/house
knowing/understanding her
life/living and death/killing
dinner/table and starvation
Giant Taylor of Midnights has a negative outlook--she sees skies as dark and ominous. Her house is misunderstood, making her lonely. This state of being is slowly killing her.
Poet Taylor of TTPD remembers feeling trapped in trying to please the erratic. Her house was burned down and rebuilt anew. This time she won't worry about surviving cold, bitterness by striving for brief sunshine. She's going to enjoy freedom.
Showgirl Taylor of TLOAS remembers those dark, dreary nights in the haunted house, starving and alone. The bad times that made her weak and frail were just a speed bump. She has learned to rise from the ashes and be self-sufficient. Showgirl knows how to psychologically recover and overcome obstacles.
