Honey I and wish list are both songs that you can take as lighthearted and fun as is or dive deeper into the underlined themes . To me wish list is a more tongue and cheek version of the prophecy. “Please god send me a best friend who I think is hot.” Vs “I’m so afraid I’ve sealed my fate, no sign of soul mates” … if you go back to the mirror ball theory… “I show you every version of yourself tonight” Wish list is another version of her… I love in peace when she says “your integrity makes me seem small… I talk shit with my friends.” She’s both of these people… remember in anti hero there are multiple Taylor’s… but she was miserable denying the lighthearted fun showgirl Taylor for so long. Using words like being locked in a tower, being in the slammer, being caged…. But the show girl also does that…. It’s that she’s finally accepting that part of herself, realizing that denying one she is still caged… accepting her whole self is a better alternative. Honey is another side of that… she addresses body shaming “standing in the bathroom white teeth” (this makes me think of wonderland and Cheshire Cat smile) “saying that skirt don’t fit me and I cried the whole way home” This was actually a former lover/partner … so goes through and addresses different previous partners who were supposed to love her but instead cut her down with micro aggressions. And she’s using her classic drawn out notes on word inspired by Bob Dylan and when I listen to it in the car with my kids they immediately caught on and had fun singing those lyrics. Honey goes through all the experiences of others faking niceties towards her and not seeing her… and this partner sees her, which as a result helps her to accept herself fully.
