my take for "I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror" is being so prideful that I’d rather hurt myself and stay blind to the truth than face and analyze what’s actually wrong with me.

I saw someone say this song is so overrated that it became underrated…so true! This song is so deep

i always took “i’ll stare directly at the sun” line as saying she will look anywhere but at herself for the issues in her life but i like yours too!

Am I the only one who thought the first line was sarcasm? Like no matter how good a person I am everyone still sees me as a narcissist

I always read "I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror" as I rather burn my own eyes then look at myself and see all the damage.

I love Taylor but I’m worried that this marriage won’t work out I hope it does but from this song she says who she truly is and I can’t help but worry she’ll jeopardize herself cause she’s the problem. Idk maybe I’m overthinking

i always interpreted the first line more as a "i try desperately to help other people all the time making it seem like an act of altruism when unconsciously i do it only to feel worthy and to fix my-

Staring directly at the sun meaning she will look at other people’s projections and the light they shine upon her instead of her true self and her own perception of who she is. Meaning: what other people think of herself is ultimately what she becomes, even to herself!

Honestly sometimes I have trouble interpreting bc her lyrics are so complex. So I appreciate your videos so much.

As someone who has BPD this resonates with me so much
I think the first line is more of "everyone thinks that I'm a narcissist person who's disguising as nice person" non that that's the truth

I always thought this song was about a person who is always made to feel like they are the problem for being themselves and being different.

I think the first line,means something more like "people think my good deeds are just for show and that's always the story" like she's telling you about a headline she saw in a news paper.

This song reminds me of blank space. I think it’s satire

"I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror"
for me, means that i would rather be blinded or struck with the light coming from the sun rather than see my own reflection on a mirror.
