I recently just finished ACOFAS, and I absolutely loved it. IDK why people say they don't really care for it. I am struggling to get myself to read ACOSF (mostly bc I wanted more Feyre's POV, but I'll read it eventually). I was listening to FINNEAS' album For Crying Out Loud and Starfucker came on and I immediately thought it perfectly fit Tamlin's perspective in ACOFAS, but possibly ACOMAF as well. I can imagine him so vividly singing this song about Feyre. I have nobody to share this with but I needed to get it out. Also this song is amazing btw.

verse

Pickin′ all the petals off

Every flower that you come across

Eyes are closed, your voice is soft

Honey, I'm afraid I′m lost

Sweep the glass up off the floor

Sell the clothes you never wore

Tell me that you wanted more

Are you sure?

I think the first two lines would be talking about how she wasn't fully happy at Spring Court, and teases her destruction of the Manor. He is afraid "he is lost" without her. Sweeping the glass is talking about how he trashed the Manor after she left, and selling the clothes that he bought her but she didn't like. Next line is very literal, Feyre flat out told him that she needed more from him. I like to think of "are you sure" as Tamlin saying are you sure you need me? Or do you need Rhysand?

chorus

You starfucker, I loved you

Against my better judgement

In the evenin', when you're leavin′

Your promises have lost their meanin′

I was yours before you were cool

I like to think he would call her Starfucker bc she is now fucking the High Lord of Night Court (Mr. Star man). Saying he "loved [her] against [his] better judgment" I think can be interpreted as him loving her despite needing her to break Amarantha's curse. IDK, if I were Tamlin, and I needed to put a girl in a very specific situation to then come live with me and fall in love with me, I would be loving her against my better judgment as well. I don't feel like that is true love, more Stockholm Syndrome (but to each their own). And then I know Feyre didn't leave in the evening, so I'm choosing to overlook that line. "Your promises have lost their meaning" is going so hard for me. She promised him her love, enough to marry the man, and now he cannot trust her. Saying that he was her's before she was cool, to me, means that before she became Feyre Cursebreaker, i.e. cool, she was his, but not that she is famous and cool, she is Rhysand's.

verse

Cross the names off a list

Cartier around your wrist

I was such an optimist

You're a fuckin′ narcissist

The driver's pullin′ back around

I'm sorry I′m so tightly wound

You think you're so underground (you think you're so underground)

But you′re so much less profound

I interpreted this first line as Feyre turning each person, one by one, against each other in her ploy to dismantle Spring Court, and of course she is doing it with fancy jewelry bc that is all Tamlin bought her. All of these books, Tamlin maintains that he loves her and is also trying to make the world a better place, and that Feyre is self centered and only thinks about herself (which IMO is true in some aspects). Him saying he's "sorry for being tightly wound" could be referencing him being stressed and 'off' after Under the Mountain and the Hybern and Feyre was getting upset with him about his behaviors. I feel that Feyre did think she was underground, in a fame sense, and I would argue that Tamlin would say she wasn't profound. I got the vibe that he thought a lot of her success was due to Rhys.

chorus again

outro

You starfucker, I trusted you

Against my better judgement

Watched the sunrise, tears in your eyes

If you'd just apologized, I′d still be yours

For sure, but you're cruel (you′re cruel)

Same three lines are pretty much the same as the first three in the chorus. Same ideas. Tamlin still thinks that if Feyre would just apologize and 'come to her senses' that him and her could get back together. I feel like the "for sure" in this outro is sarcastic. Deep down, he doesn't truly believe that they can get back together, and that she is actually mated to Rhys. And then he just calls her cruel, which is par for the course.

NOT TO MENTION! The music in this song is so freaking whimsical ???? It fits the vibe immaculately. Literally such a good song for a Tamlin alone in the trashed and empty Spring Court scene.
