You’ve been listening to this song for years.
And still, something doesn’t add up.
Exile isn’t really about a breakup.
It’s distance that doesn’t close.
Two voices. No meeting point.
The absurdity of saying everything
and yet still not be heard.
Speaking clearly and being misunderstood.
Again and again.
Camus saw it.
Taylor Swift staged it.
This isn’t a theory.
It’s a structure.
Once you see it, you don’t go back.
