      Singing is about how much do you put on it, is about telling stories, is about set free all those feeling inside of you, contact with your "inner me", singing is a way to go to other spiritual plane and be the best version of yourself couse everytime you get better with your voice you get better in your life, reach high notes it's just a bonus, at least that how I do perceive singing

      because the song is about nothing in particular. it does not have the usual elements of pop/ heartbreak/ fancy bridges/ sassy lines that become easy to hum along or relate to. this song is more "sit in the dark by yourself and let the song envelope you" type. which makes it underrated.

    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

    But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
    And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
    Then I 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 of 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?
    (I see right through me, I see right through me)
    'Cause they see right through me
    They see right through me
    They see right through
    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?

      Your right. I've just recently started to listen to her albums. I knew most of her songs from the radio. Didn't realize her whole album is awesome. Other singers might have a few good songs on their albums then just fillers. But Taylor goes all out on every song, her voice and lyrics, can't find one boring song anywhere. Ordered Reputation and 1989, can't wait to listen to those. Friends at work are big fans, I guess I will be one too. Amazing talent and lots more to come, she is still very young.
