Official lyrics for "The Archer" written by Taylor Swift:
Combat
I'm ready for combat
I saw I don't want that
But what if I do?
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
I've got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train
I ride off alone
I never grew up,
It's getting so old
Help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling...
But who could stay?
Dark side
I search for your dark side
But what if I'm all right, right, right, right here?
And i cut off my nose just to spite my face
Then hate my reflection for years and years
I wake in the night
I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire
Invisible smoke
And all my heroes
Die all alone
Help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Screaming who could ever leave me darling...
But who could stay?
'Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through me
Can you see right through me?
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
'Cause all of my enemies
Started out friends
Help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling...
But who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay
You could stay
Combat
I'm ready for combat

@im_manuel61 8 месяцев назад

I looked it up, what this song could possibly mean and I learned this song is deeply about Taylor that a lot of others could relate. This song is about her struggles with her vulnerability and trust in relationship. Taylor compares herself to the archer, saying she's ready to defend herself from being hurt, but this also makes it difficult for her to let people in. "I've been the archer, I've been the prey," is about how she has been hurt in the past, but Taylor also acknowledges that she has hurt others. This song is about how she is afraid of getting hurt again, but she also wants to find someone who will stay with her. "Who could stay?" reflects Taylor's uncertainty of finding lasting love. The song ends with the line "You could stay," which suggests that Taylor is finally starting to believe she is worthy of love. This song shows her willingness to be more open and vulnerable with her fans.

This song is a metaphor of anxiety depicted in a bow. As we all know the song never drops, so as the song progresses the tension increases, much like how you pull the string of a bow, there is increasing tension. The song continues to build up until it abruptly stops in the end alluding the release of tension, aka releasing the pull on the bow. You can kinda tell based on how the bass faintly hums in the end, like a bow string vibrating due to release. So the release of tension implies release of that anxiety and pain, which symbolically means that Taylor is finally ready for combat like the last line of the song implies. But who knows maybe I'm wrong🤔🤷

@cupcakesfanficgameslover5792 Год назад

I understand it as she takes action/does things for revenge or whatever/allows things to happen to her, knowing it won't be good for her, then she dislikes the consequences, she regrets doing/allowing that to happen, but she has to live with that for a long time, cause what's done is done.

In my opinion, this is Taylor Swift's best song in her entire catalog. It is hauntingly beautiful and tragically underappreciated.

@ClairDeLume Год назад

i know most people dislike this song, but it holds a very special place in my heart. my crush’s middle name is Archer, i love him so much. and the reason why this song is so special to me is not just cause it has his middle name in it, but this album also released around the time i met him. i had horrible separation anxiety, i was terrified to be away from my family. i was failing school as well, and my parents decided to put me in a class for after school. and my crush’s mom was the teacher of the class, and that’s how i met him. my mom had just left me there outside the building, and i was sitting outside crying on the sidewalk in the summer heat, he saw me through the window and came over and gently said “hi, are you okay?” and i just shook my head, still crying. and he just hugged me. the reason why this was such a big deal was because i was having an absolutely horrible year. i hit puberty, i had no friends, and i was failing school. and nobody ever hugged me like he did then, i felt actually cared for in that moment. he took my hand and led me inside, and his brother was just sitting at one of the tables. and we went over and sat down, and he introduced me to his brother. and all of us from then on became best friends. the only reason i have an appreciation for 2019 is because that’s when i met him. and honestly i’m so thankful that i was put in that class, because if not i wouldn’t have ever met him. i love you, jackson.

I love the part where it goes like “can you see right through me?” And all of that, it starts at about 2:08 in the song and I feel like it is a perfect representation of intruding and unwanted thoughts, and I really appreciated this part because that’s how it feels for me, thank you Taylor for this masterpiece.

@Unknown6777__ Год назад

I think this song is about her being in the music industry the line “ all my enemies started out as friends” referring to Kim/Kanye and Scooter and I strongly believe the line “ help me hold onto you” is her losing the passion of music because of everything happened at the time. LOVE YOU TAYLOR💘💘

@taylorhauntus 4 года назад

In All Too Well we had a climax because at the end of that song she wanted to show off her pain in a sort of "furious" way. It was the cry of desperation of a 20 year old girl. Now, 7 years later, she's a woman pushing 30 and she's got a different way to react to hurtful situations: the general tone is more somber and reflective, mirroring her (new?) ability to cope in an adult-like way. She's in a stable relationship and she can reflect on her fear of losing it all in a sad but mature state of mind. No need for a climax.

This song holds a special place in my heart. The day this video was released, was a very hard day for me. I left my family for the first time and went to France for my education. I was staying with a family who treated me so badly. They yelled at me all the time and looked down on me. I was missing my family, trying to focus on my studies and handling with the family that I was staying with at the same time and one day when it was all too much I just started crying in my bedroom. I felt so alone, thousands of miles away from my family and friends, but suddenly I got a notification on my phone. It was Taylor, releasing The Archer lyric video and at that moment I felt like she was there with me and she was telling me that everything was going to be okay and stop crying . Thank you Taylor, you may never read this comment but thank you for making me feel not alone. You were there for me when I needed you the most and I will always be there for you too. I love you.
