    Everyone is talking about the Babylon line. But I find some other lyrics also really impressive like "but i said dancing is a dangerous game", it makes me think that she's a con artist, she knows exactly how vulnerable people can become once they fall in love, and dancing is an activity that can make people feel so in love.

    "Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon."
    Beautiful imagery Taylor, just beautiful. The way she not only uses the architectural aspect of things as a simile, but also due to the fact that the existence of the Hanging Gardens has been up to debate make the lyrics even more bittersweet. It's like the speaker is hanging on to the idea of it because if they don't, they'll lose the only thing that makes it real, turning it into just the imagination of the persona.

      I googled the hanging garden on wikipedia and i found this: According to one legend, the Hanging Gardens were built by the Neo-Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II, for his Median wife Queen Amytis, because she missed the green hills and valleys of her homeland.
      This story reminded me ''Just being in your arms takes me back to that little farm
      '' from Christmas tree farm, here taylor is referring to how her boyfriend makes her feel at home.

    "But that was all before I locked it down"
    She sings it in a way that makes you feel like she's absolutely smug about it. There's this feeling, of utter satisfaction when someone is yours, your person. No matter how much other people may want them, none of them can possible have them. Not because you're holding them with a chain, but because they want you to have them, and in return, you want them to have you. This song tells the journey of wanting someone, to reaching them, and to having them. She says how men wanted her and women wanted him, but that was all in the past, that it was before they were each other's. And that feeling definitely deservers a level of smugness. You can't see her face, but you can tell that she's probably smirking while singing this, almost whispering into the mic, before she seals her lock and hold the key.

      From what I know of the story, the gardens were said to float in the desert, like a mirage. However, when you got close enough, you could see that it actually hung from a building owned by the fancy ruler you mentioned. The building just blended into all the sand and the heat, in a way that you could only see the gardens from distance, giving the illusion it floated above the ground. Therefore, this line could mean two things: his love for her is an illusion, not truly there, just a mirage like the gardens; or he's in love with her, but no one knows -- if he's the gardens, she's the building no one knows it's there. Either way, it's a beautiful line, and its multiple interpretations just goes to show her writing is too complex and layered to be nailed down to a single interpretation. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    What is so *impressive* about Taylor's last two albums to me is how all the *songs are so similar* in style yet *all sound different.* Every song sounds new but fits the theme. *How does she do it?*

    She really does have the voice of an angel - there's something so pretty about it in this song, delicate and expresses the story beautifully. I'm going to have to explore more songs of hers in Evermore and Folklore.

      @@haleighnoelle6323 well she admitted it herself during the speech of woman of the decade award. She said she was so concerned about media that whenever people shaded her with little things she tried to mould herself into something they would like. But now she doesn't care about anything, she's just doing what she wants to do.
