    The line about “I was so ahead of the curve the curve became a sphere” reminds me of a line from another song of hers The Archer “I never grew up it’s getting so old” and in her documentary she also spoke about feeling trapped at the age she got famous for a long time because of the career/image she had and in her mid twenties is when she felt like she was finally catching up.

    Pulled the car off the road on the looked out
    Could have followed my fears all the way down
    Is an attempted suicide situation. 😭😭😭
    This song is so sad but realistic at the same time
    All of us are trying to stay alive, trying to be happy especially in this pandemic.

    I was a “gifted” kid, and always excelled at school. I’ve been struggling mentally since about middle school, so schoolwork was an escape for me. Once I got to the college age, I had so many dreams and plans. I had a lot of pressure from family as well because I don’t come from a college family. I got into a great school, knew what I wanted to do, and was excited to begin! My mental health suffered greatly, and I ended up dropping out of college. I never went back.
    It’s been 6 years, and I have no clue what I’m doing with my life, or how everything got so flipped upside down. I had a plan, a way to get there, and the potential. My brain was my way to success, and my enemy.
    There are a lot of us burnt out, depressed, confused, mentally ill, 20’ something year old “gifted” kids & this song…. man does it explain everything I’ve felt & my situation so perfectly. It’s almost too painful to listen to, but I love it so much.

  • @RafaelXd23
    @RafaelXd23 3 роки тому +20

    Best song from Taylor, hands down. And to me both lines “I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting” and “So I got wasted like all my potential” talks about a person that was a bright, smart, creative and promising kid, then was hit by adulthood, society judgment and family expectations.
    So they’re wasting their potential, and stressing to fit in a broken mold, a bankrupt social standard while dealing with *depression and anxiety.*
    And this is unfortunately, a really relatable topic, for so many! This song remembers me of *Vienna by Billy Joel,* y’all should react to it (old but gold).
    Sending my love to y’all, and be safe! 💙

    When I 1st listen to this song it's feels like she's directly addressing to her fans
    And if I see it with a perspective of love song it's feels like she's apologizing to someone or apologizing to herself
    And it's definitely fit in the love triangle

  • @stingrayafflictlon
    @stingrayafflictlon 4 роки тому +31

    I remember seeing a post where someone said that this song is almost like a backwards love song. she essentially spills her guts to a stranger (joe) but the thing is "but I didn't pour the whiskey" shes completely sober but because she was just so consumed by everything happening she just started talking, and he listened.

  • @mellinatre1149
    @mellinatre1149 4 роки тому +47

    Oh I love the connection you made to the fans, never thought about it, but it also make a lot of sense so i can totally see this song being about it
    this is definitely one of my favourite songs of the all album...the instrumentation is so good!

    • @Savagemode09
      @Savagemode09 Рік тому

      I thought I was the only one who thought this but yeah I feel like she should be honest and vulnerable to people that care about it I'm guessing you know the fans whatever being there and just encouraging her to write these music

  • @aaravsingh37
    @aaravsingh37 4 роки тому +10

    I know the songs are all about different situations and not all are related to the love triangle but if you pay attention they actually are related to each other. I mean even the lyrics are all interconnected.
    Lemme show you what I mean.
    The one - Betty looking back at her life and thinking of James.
    Cardigan- this is again Betty's POV
    The last great American dynasty - this is the story of Rebekah harkness who was the last owner of the Rhode Island mansion which is now owned by Taylor ( also her nickname was Betty. Coincidence? I guess not)
    Exile- this is Betty and James having a conversation (more like an argument of sorts)
    My tears ricochet- the song is actually big machine who owns taylor's previous albums (but actually if you think of the love triangle then this is James's funeral and parts of it are sung by both Betty and James)
    Mirroball- actually about fame and what comes with it (taylor's perspective) but also from the other girls perspective (the August girl) she's singing it to James.
    Seven- actually about Taylor when she was young but also James and Betty when they were young.
    August- this is the other girl's POV
    This is me trying- this is James talking to Betty. Telling her he's trying
    Illicite affairs- about James and the other girl.
    Invisible string- actually about Taylor and Joe
    Mad woman- about Taylor in reality but also inspired by Rebekah harkness (Betty harkness) and also cuz I'm such a GOT fan I think of it as a song for Daenerys and how they made her go crazy mad in the end (cuz society can't deal with a woman in power /toxic patriarchy). Believe me if you're a GOT fan think of dany while listening to this one and you'll know what I mean.
    Epiphany - about her granddad who was in the army and current corona pandemic around the world.
    Also from the triangle this is James joining the army and then dying (funeral in my tears ricochet) and Betty going through shit in her own life.
    Betty - James's POV
    Peace- Taylor and Joe
    Hoax- Betty dealing with James's death.
    Phew. That was long. You guys probably won't read it but this is how I perceive the songs. And I also get a lot of hate for it when I tell people this but honestly Taylor is such an amazing songwriter that you can percieve the songs the way you want them to. That's the beauty of this album. You take it the way you want to take it. Understand it the way you want. That's why it's called folklore. And it's one of the best albums ever written. I said what I said. Y'all can come for me now.

    • @RandomGuy23_
      @RandomGuy23_ 3 роки тому +3

      Agreed. The album is named folklore for a reason. Though originally it's a love triangle but every song fits in perfectly. I have read a polished version of your theory and it leads to Taylor finally. No wonder Taytay is one of the greatest songwriters of our time.

    • @arilyons6587
      @arilyons6587 3 роки тому +1

      I agree with you fully I’ve been thinking this and connecting the dots too. I think this is James talking to Betty and about his life without her

  • @roselyncontreras4497
    @roselyncontreras4497 3 роки тому +12

    When i think of this song, i interpret it as her time when she was in hiding, 1989 was like the greatest year or era for her, which i connected to ‘i had the shiniest wheels, now they’re rusting’. Everybody hated her after kanye lied and made her look bad. And for ‘pouring out my heart to a stranger, but i didn’t pour the whiskey’. She met Joe Alwyn at a bar, and i think she just told him everything there, so after they started seeing each other she says ‘this is me trying’.

    "Pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down"
    “It's probably a way of saying she felt like taking her own life away. As in, jumping off a cliff. She sings that she was (probably) driving through a road that was close to a cliff, or the end of a hill, and she pulled towards the "lookout" (where you 'look' out to the landscape in front of a cliff/hill. Look it up ^^). "Could have followed my fears all the way down" is a very clever lyric saying she would keep driving until she fell of the cliff ("all the way down") 'following' her fears, probably personal struggles and insecurities (and depression). It's a very dark lyric, and it's written so beautifully. It took me a few days to understand it, but when I did, this entire song felt different."
    (Saw this from a comment on the lyric video)

  • @SamuelSampayo
    @SamuelSampayo 4 роки тому +16

    I translate the line of being ahead of the curve in terms of the music industry.. a country artist who won aoty at the grammys for a country album moving into pop and winning the same award for a pop album. Always one step ahead of the media, her fans, critics... but she ended up with her classmates, her musical peers.. especially after reputation. despite being such a never before heard sound she felt not validated for her genius and she was put in the category of average artists. And the only person she can vent all of this to is a stranger, Joe. Who poured the whisky .. as the lyrics in the songs delicate and gorgeous from the rep album would insinuate.

    @Starbuck-dr7yl 4 роки тому +4

    All her cages were mental
    Connects directly to the curve became a sphere lyric. Her cages represent all her insecurities and fears, doubts all in her head that hold her back. She was ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere... a 3 dimensional structure that no matter where she turned would lead her back to herself. She was so ahead of the curve, her only competition was with herself. She needed to prove to herself that she was good enough, that she belongs. These are her mental cages. This is her trying to be good enough. This also resonates in Mirrorball at the end when she says she is trying to do everything to keep you looking at her. This is her trying, she needs that acceptance from others because she doesn’t believe in herself (mental cages).

    I think Taylor made this album so we can really reflect through the song and not interpret it as just her story or experiences?? Like listening to this song and certain lines from the lyrics hit you up, relate and got you remembering 'that' certain experienced.

  • @halox3595

  • @carlsantos6862
    @carlsantos6862 4 роки тому +6

    Well most of the songs on folklore are not connected to her personal life. It's not about her fans. But some songs are about looking at her past. She explains that most of them are made up of her imagination. Like the love triangle. That's why the name of the album 'folklore'

    Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in world. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. Diana Ankudinova is now only 17 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice.
    Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach) said about the performance of this girl:
    Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional! Absolutely gorgeous! And again, not just because of her voice, because her performing, watching how nuanced and engaging her performance is. Ah, it's just so stunning. It's absolutely amazing.

    I've been having a hard time adjusting
    I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
    I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
    I have a lot of regrets about that
    Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
    Could've followed my fears all the way down
    And maybe I don't quite know what to say
    But I'm here in your doorway
    I just wanted you to know
    That this is me trying
    I just wanted you to know
    That this is me trying
    They told me all of my cages were mental
    So I got wasted like all my potential
    And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
    I have a lot of regrets about that
    I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
    Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
    Pourin' out my heart to a stranger
    But I didn't pour the whiskey
    I just wanted you to know…

Very often your reaction and comments were out of context, unfortunately. To do justice to reacting to TS's songs, one must first do some background studies of her life experiences, her pain snd challenges, etc.
