Tree is a plant

I love your Channel

i feel the exactly same way you described with this song, without you without them, I bet on losing dogs, philophobia from Sunday cruise and so many others songs but I just couldn't describe just how incredibly you did!! it's like "oh my god being me is so much fun sometimes !! "

Can u plz make an analysis vidio on 'The lakes' by Taylor swift 🙏

I like to look at it from a Jungian perspective and it’s a man looking inward towards the state of his anima, the inner woman, his soul.

i think "he was with her in dreams" could also mean that in HER dreams, he really supported her and they had a great relationship.

could this song be dedicated to herself ? i mean, about her finding herself after getting out of the slammer

I always relate this song back to Ready For It where she says “and he can be my jailer” where at that point, she wanted a jail where he would ‘keep’ her but time passed and she realised it really wasn’t what she wanted anymore

Sometimes when you feel so little for yourself you surround yourself with destructive environments, thoughts, people. Because they’re so bad you think you could exist there. But you never can you will always lose. When you think you deserve no better you live there over and over. You know they’re losing but you paid for your place.

This song reminds me of bpd

To me, this song is presented as if the person the protagonist is singing about, is going through some sort of prolonged sadness and not feeling worthy of love. So when she says “if you don’t (want to dance), I’ll do it anyway” or “if you fight I’ll fight, it doesn’t matter, now it’s all gone “ means that if her partner is giving up (on themselves) and no longer wants to keep fighting to live, she can keep fighting for the both of them. “It’s all gone” means all of her fears about maybe putting her all into this relationship are now desolved and she’s willing to fight for their love.

Yes I would love an analysis of the music video too!!

I prefer to think that the phrase “I never wanted love, just a fancy car” means that she didn’t want anything serious like love. She wanted something to show, nothing more. Her describing herself as a cowboy (a treacherous person, who doesn't care much about the meaning of things and people) and saying that she “never wanted love” proves my point of view, according to my interpretation. But I like your interpretation that the "fancy car" is a form of escape, where she would switch from one “fancy car” to another, but deep down she just doesn't want to be hurt. There are many interpretations and it highlights what an incredible lyricist Taylor Swift is!

thanks for the explanation

i love this sm im begging can you please do i hate it here

The Gardens of Babylon is such a brilliant allusion. As they fall in love it is like one of the seven wonders of the world, but now she's locked it down, she's not sure it ever existed.

Please do “I hate it here” next

When I think of this song, I think that Mitski is singing about someone who cheers for people don’t have anyone to cheer for them. She wants to be there for someone who faces life alone. Kind of like a mother.

In this song she says " years of labor and locks" and in So Long London " stopped trying to drill the safe" these lyrics make me think of Renegade!!

32:49 Yes ofc!! Its a need

I think the telephone wires sizzling like a snare are referencing snare drum wires that are underneath a snare drum and give it that sizzling vibration sound- which makes sense since she is dancing and hearing music in the sounds around her

PLEASE DO VENICE BTCHHHHHH

porchlight connects this song to Peter and Cardigan/Betty imo

"splintered back in winter" also makes me think of "balancing on breaking branches" from exile

Thank you for this analysis. I think, as you mention during the video, the key word is "regret". This is a song of regret and of being haunted by a bad experience with love. And, as you also said, the different uses of "take me back to the night we met" illustrate both 1. the author's wish to escape future pain by changing history and not getting involved in the relationship and 2. reliving the euphoria of those first electric moments of feeling he had for this new person. The juxtaposition of those two different interpretations of that line is stark. After all, for those of us who have been through break-ups --- who has not had a hard time reconciling the wish to have never met the person with the nostalgia of discovering new love?

This was made for a school project btw

I hadn’t thought of it before, but, when you talked about the possibility that she did something to end up in the slammer, I thought of the way people talked about her dating life. She should be able to date people for whatever length of time and not be the butt of jokes due to it, but a years-long relationship worked as a response to them. With that in mind, how can you leave if it’s not right? When the narrative is that you blow through guys, how long do you need to stay in a relationship to change that? “But it’s gonna be alright; I did my time.”

this was great! could you next make an analysis on The Albatross. No body talks about it and its so sad becuase its so good

Matty is engaged to gabriette

I always thought that it ended with him stealing her money. The relationship starts at a tennis court and switches back and forth between “you’re a cowboy like me” and “you’re a bandit like me” almost like a tennis game itself. The power in the relationship switch back and forth as well which we can see in who will pay for it in the end, as in “only if they pay for it” versus “and I know I’ll pay for it”. Notice also how it’s never the other person who will pay for it. After she “locked it down” the other person is hanging from protagonists lips, insinuating that they are the person in power at that time. It can indicate that she locked the relationship down with this person but also that she succeeded in swindling someone, securing money. Going off of that, the protagonist now embodies the very people they both swindle, a person with assets, which is why I believe that the last line in the bridge is important to discern the ending. “Forever is the sweetest con” is not a hopeful ending. It insinuates that the protagonist believes that it won’t last forever which leads to “I’ve had some tricks up my sleeve” which indicates that she no longer has them. I believe the protagonist got swindled herself but she was prepared to spend the money she locked down in order to pursue the love she felt for the other person. She no longer has the tricks because she’s no longer engaging in the game, she quit swindling and became a victim of it instead. The “I’m never gonna love again” could mean that she quit swindling for good and that she is quitting love because it ruined her.

Thank you for all these analysis. I've been a huge swiftie since the Fearless era. English is not my first language, so watching you has helped me a lot to understand the lyrics more deeply. "I will never miss your videos again" 🎶

Thank you for another insightful analysis! I thought I had a pretty good understanding of this song but, as usual, you brought up intriguing ideas for me to think about... Your close examination of specific word choice is key; as we know, Ms. Swift is hyper-deliberate in all forms of art she releases, and must not be skimmed over. Your analysis helps me appreciate her brilliant songs/poetry/ lyrics even more than I already do!

Your sense of humor and editing is great! Singing after saying you're a bad singer at the beginning and delicate.mp3 had me rolling

"Handcuffed to the spell..." makes me think of "spell" as in a period of time. She'd never been in a relationship so long. Maybe she felt a stronger pull to the commitment than to the person?

When I hear tunnels in this context I think of Cornelia Street. "Turned around before I hit the tunnel." Perhaps that's something she did often. Maybe fight, her drive off, get to the tunnel and get the call from him to go back home?

Love this analysis! You should also see if you can do an analysis of the “in summation” poem for the album

Need loml breakdown

I absolutely love your analysis!! I can’t wait to hear more! I would love to hear your analysis on songs like The albatross and Cassandra and who’s afraid of little old me and The prophecy etc. !!! Those are some of my favorites off the album!❤

never miss a Taylor analysis from you... patiently for the loml 😣

In the slammer eating Nando’s 😂😂

I love your analysis, and you are beautiful!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

FINALLY

Hey ! I am big fan of your analysis...can you pls pls do the analysis of sufjan Steven music also, album carrie and lowell

"where the spirit meets the bones" I imagine a grave :> both are the remains of the dead, only bones are physical. I think with the meaning of soul meeting body she would've used a poetic version of the word body (I can't think of any rn) instead of "bones". And they meet at a grave because they are doing it in secret and there's not much happening around a grave But I like your way of understanding it as well <3

the ship lyric kinda makes me think that he accused her of giving up on their relationship, when she was actually fighting to keep it alive, but she was not succeeding at it, thats why she went down, she's still inside the ship, which would symbolize their relationship

I also think maybe the fairy lights through the mist might be referring to her memories of happier times. She has often associated Joe with light and warmth in other songs, but now the relationship has become cold and hazy like mist. But she keeps fighting because she remembers those fairy lights and she's hoping they can get back there. I love these videos, not only because I enjoy your analyses, but they encourage me to think about the songs in a different way.

the "two graves, one gun" lyric got me thinking that this "gun" is some action, something he did, that killed them both and their relationship, thats why there are two graves

Please do The Great War when you can.

Do you think it was intentional for her to use "knees" plural in stead of knee? People usually propose in "one knee". That paints a more sad picture.

wdym I don't ask my washing machine out on a date
