Finally someone giving recognition to the line: "Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?" It's so effortlessly sad. I really love "I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight." ATW10MV is a masterpiece.
My favorite lyric from State of Grace is either “These are the the hands of fate. You’re my Achilles’s heel. This is the the golden age of something good and right and real” or “Mosaic broken hearts”!
For me, in ATW10MV It's pretty much the entire new second verse "And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now he's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was till we were dead and gone and buried check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same after three months in the grave and then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you but all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame"
2:13 the best perfomance of Holy Ground ever. 2:25 they all look like ME!-HEE-HEE 4:30 we're the wreck, you're the wrecking ball..... I CAME IN LIKE A WREEEEECKING BAAAAALLLL. 4:51 I'm mumbling and cackling. this line left all the people that hated Taylor Swift for writing songs about people shook.
my favs from the whole album has got to be "does it make you feel sad that the love that you're looking for is the love that you had" from i bet you think about me, "i still remember the first fall of snow and how it glistened as it fell, i remember it all too well" and "the idea you had of me who was she? a never needy-ever lovely jewel who shine reflects on you" from all too well ten minute version
Best Lyric From Vault Tracks: BM: I know the bravest thing I ever did was run NN: How did I go from growing up to breaking down? B: And it’s strange how your face doesn’t look so innocent MIAB: How is it in London? IBYTAM: Does it make you feel sad that the love that you’re looking for is the love that you had? FW: If I was standing there in your apartment, I’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it R: There’s a chain ‘round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote, “I’ll wait for you” TVFN: We broke the status quo, then we broke each other’s hearts ATW(10MV): Check the pulse and come back swearing it’s the same after three months in the grave
For IBYTAM it will always be "I bet you think about me when you say 'Oh my god, she's insane. She wrote a song about me.'" because that will never not be hilarious to me 🤣
taylor is a born performer wooooow i'd love to see her live one day but tbh wish i could go back in time and see all her old tours!! also i wanna pick all my fav lyrics now too but it seems touuugh!!
Mine: State of Grace: This is a state of grace this is the worth while fight. Love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right. These are the hands of fate you're my Achilles heel this is the golden age of something good and right and real. Red: Losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark gray, all alone. Forgetting him was like tryin' know somebody you never met but loving him was red. Treacherous: Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will get you, will get you alone. Your name has echoed through my mind. And I just think you should, think you should know that nothing safe is worth the drive and I will follow you, follow you home. I Knew You Were Trouble: No apologies, he'll never see you cry, pretend he doesn't know, that he's the reason why, you're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning. And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street a new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be and now I see, now I see, now I see All Too Well: Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest. I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well. Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it. I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it. After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own, now you mail back my things and I walk home alone All Too Well (10 minute version): And you were tossing me the car keys, "fuck the patriarchy". Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town. And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now, he's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was. 'Til we were dead and gone and buried, check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same. After three months in the grave. or They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind. You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine, and that made me want to die. The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you. Not weeping in a party bathroom, some actress asking me what happened, you. That's what happened, you. You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes, sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show. But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come, and he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one" or And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes, "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age". From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones, I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight. And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too? 22: Yeah, we're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical, oh yeah. Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines. It's time, oh-oh. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22. Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you. You don't know about me but I'll bet you want to. Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22 I Almost Do: I bet you think I either moved on or hate you. 'Cause each time you reach out there's no reply. I bet it never ever occurred to you that I can't say "Hello" to you and risk another goodbye. And I just wanna tell you, it takes everything in me not to call you, and I wish I could run to you. And I hope you know that every time I don't, I almost do, I almost do We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together: Ah, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you". And I'm like, I'm just, "I mean this is exhausting, you know?" Like we are never getting back together, like, ever Stay Stay Stay: I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night. I threw my phone across the room at you. I was expecting some dramatic turn away, but you stayed The Last Time: You find yourself at my door, just like all those times before. You wear your best apology, but I was there to watch you leave. And all the times I let you in just for you to go again. Holy Ground: I was reminiscing just the other day, while having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away. Back to a first glance feeling on New York time. Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme Sad Beautiful Tragic: Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting. Silence, the train runs off its tracks. Kiss me, try to fix it. Could you just try to listen? Hang up, give up, for the life of us we can't get back The Lucky One: It was a few years later, I showed up here, and they still tell the legend of how you disappeared. How you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out. They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere, chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square. And it took some time, but I understand it now. 'Cause now my name is up in lights. But I think you got it right. Everything Has Changed: All I know is you held the door, and you'll be mine and I'll be yours. All I know since yesterday, is everything has changed. Starlight: I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune". It was the best night, never would forget how we moved. The whole place was dressed to the nines, and we were dancing, dancing, like we're made of starlight. Begin Again: We tell stories and you don't know why, I'm coming off a little shy, but I do. But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did. I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does, is break and burn and end. But on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again. The Moment I Knew: And it was like slow motion, standing there in my party dress, in red lipstick with no one to impress. And they're all laughing, as I'm looking around the room, but there was one thing missing, and that was the moment I knew Come Back Be Here: Taxi cabs and busy streets, they never bring you back to me, and I can't help but wish you took me with you Girl At Home: I just wanna make sure you understand perfectly, you're the kind of man who makes me sad. While she waits up, you chase down the newest thing and take for granted what you have Better Man: Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again. But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man Nothing New: They tell you while you're young "Girls, go out and have your fun". Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it. Criticize the way you fly when you're soarin' through the sky. Shoots you down and then they sigh, and say, "She looks like she's been through it" Babe: What a shame, didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah. Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise, that you never should have made Message In A Bottle: 'Cause you could be the one that I love. I could be the one that you dream of. Message in a bottle is all I can do, standin' here hopin' it gets to you I Bet You Think About Me: 3 a.m. and I'm still awake, I'll bet you're just fine. Fast asleep in your city that's better than mine. And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree, and I'll bet your friends tell you she's better than me Forever Winter: He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days. I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away" Run: There's been this hole in my heart, this thing was a shot in the dark. Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart, and I'll hold onto you while we run The Very First Night: I'm the one on the phone as you whisper "do you know how much I miss you" ****I know these are more than one line/lyric from each but I seriously can't choose****
impossible to choose just one of the lyrics from atw 10m so true love that you appreciated 'but did the twin flame bruise paint you blue, just between us did the love affair maim you too' because that one has sent chills down my back from release night to now
Yes. Here are my top fave lyrics at the moment. From ATW10MV, when she said “Did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?” I was absolutely f l o o r e d Also, I like in the acoustic version of state of grace when she says “So you were never a saint, and I loved in shades of wrong.” And even just “I never saw you coming. And I’ll never be the same.” on the acoustic version? 🤩 wow And then the parts from Ronan I love, that broke me, are “I remember you dancing, before bed time, then jumping on me waking me up; I can still feel you hold my hand, little man” and “What if I’m standing in your closet trying to talk to you? And what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won’t grow into? And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?” And then finally, from Forever Winter “He says “It’s not just a phase I’m in”, my voice comes out begging. All this time, I didn’t know you were breaking down. I’d fall to pieces in the floor, if you weren’t around.”
2:30 my favourite quote oh wait and 4:16 my gosh 5:18 every time I have a crush cuz I get weirdly obsessive and I shouldn’t be sharing that on the internet 😐 5:31 - every day 5:42- iconic quote -4:47 = whenever I’m happy
I can't help but share mine as well I know it's annoying but I just can't help it! State of grace: "And your were never a Saint and I loved in shades of wrong" Red: "loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already through the free fall" Treacherous: "I just want you to know, that nothing's safe is worth the drive" I knew you were trouble: "And I realise the joke is on me" All too well: "And you call me up again just to break me like a promise so casually cruel in the name of being honest" 22: "we're happy free confused and sad in the best way" I almost do: "And I bet it never ever occurred to you that I can't say goodbye to you and risk another goodbye" We are never ever getting back together: "And me falling for it screaming that I'm right" Stay stay stay: "And you came in wearing a football helmet and said okay let's talk" The last time: "you break my heart in the blink of an eye" Holy ground: "We block the noise with the sound of I need you and for the first time I had something to lose" Sad beautiful tragic: "distance, timing, breakdown, fighting, silence betraying runs off its tracks, kiss me try to fix it, could you just try to listen?" The lucky one: "And they still tell the legends of how you disappeared, how you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out" Everything has changed: "all I know is we said hello, so dust off your highest hopes," "all I know is a new found grace, all my life I'll know your face" Starlight: "you'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way" Begin again: "so you throw your head back laughing like a little kid" The moment I knew: "what do you say when tears are streaming down your face in front of everyone you know? And what do you when the one who means the most to you is the one who didn't show?" Come back be here: "taxi cabs and busy streets that never bring you back to me, I can't help but wish you took me with you" Girl at home: "And yeah I might go with if I haven't been just like her" Better man: "but your jealousy, oh I can hear it now talking down on me, like I'd always be around push my love like it some kind of loaded gun oh you never thought I'd run" Nothing new: "I know someday in gonna meet her it's a fever dream, the kind of radiance you only have at seventeen, she'll know the way and she'll say she got the map from me I'll say I'm happy for her than I'll cry myself to sleep" Babe: "*in the background* what about your promises promises?" Message in a bottle: "I can be the reason you can't sleep at ni-i-i-ght" I bet you think about me: "oh my God she's insane she wrote a song about me, I bet you think about me" Forever winter: "he says he doesn't believe anything that he hears these days, I say believe in one thing I won't go away" Run: "And note from the locket you keep it in your pocket since I gave it to you" The very first night: "take me away, take me away to you, to you" All too well 10 minute version: "And I was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, I'll get older but your lover's stay my age"
Ugh finally somebody noticing that line from sad beautiful tragic like that line is the most offensive saddest thing that ive ever heard when i first listen to sad beautiful tragic
literally i wouldn’t be able to choose a single lyric from atwtmv either! i honestly would just play the whole song we can all agree that atwtmv is a masterpiece also i love that lyric from tmik it’s just so sad and heartfelt and i love it
There’s no way to pick just one lyric from All Too Well (Ten Minute Version). Love your choices, we have some of the same fave lyrics! I actually did a blog post before it came out about my favorite lyrics from each song off of the deluxe album, it’s on my blog if anyone wants to check it out! The link is in my channel bio. Love the video!
Yooooooo where is that Holy Ground performance from?? Looks like the 1989 tour That little rock and roll growl on 'the story's got dust on every page'...god I NEED TS10 to be a rock album y'all have NO idea
