I know this isn’t what Taylor probably meant when she wrote the wrong but I think this song applies beautifully to the people who daydream as a coping mechanism/maladaptive daydreamers.
@@abdullahsaeed5308 So basically the song is about daydreaming to get out of reality, the saying basically just means she wants to go to somewhere where only the gentle people are cause this world can sometimes be cruel, hope this helps!
I’ve suffered from depression, anxiety, agoraphobia most of my life. I’ve been through A LOT. But the last few years of my life have been the worst. Isolating, lonely, people who are supposed to love you not being there for you when you need them or treating you bad. I can’t explain the level of pain this is but it’s a deep dark place nobody should ever have to be in. And this song perfectly encapsulates it all. But yet she sings it in such a beautiful soft way instead of the painful harshness of what the reality of it is and I find it absolutely brilliant. I bawl my eyes out every time I hear this song because I get every word completely. It’s so much more than the passing phrase of “I hate it here”. It’s a deep pain hurt from literally everything around you where you HATE it here. The only way to cope is to retreat to the world in your mind. Nobody can ever see it or visit it or understand it. It’s the only place that exists that keeps you capable of existing through life in the hopes that maybe someday there will be a time where you no longer need to escape into your own mind world. But until then. Everything in your reality just hurts. So you have to escape somewhere. And the only comforting places are those magical happy, loving and kind places we dreamt of when we were kids. Mind worlds really are some of the only things keeping some people on this planet. Deep song sung so lightly. Perfection
"It's a deep pain hurt from literally everything around you where you HATE it here" I get you. I just came on this music video to read comments to understand if someone gets this song as me. I can say, yes. I'm feeling like I never want to be in tha place that I am, constantly. And is not a problem about self-love, 'cause that I do. But lately it's like I can't connect with others, it's like a huge fatigue. So, read your comment has been a pleasure in some ways, I wish you the best❤ and I hope that someone will find the keys to open your world mind❤
as a maladaptive daydreamer, I've never felt this understood and seen. this song is for us who hates the reality we're in wherein daydreaming is the only way to get us by
@@sarahwagland1559 Though I agree, that trying to live vs daydream is better. The way you said it, isn't really nice or conducive to helping this person.
"I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind" totally relate to this line when you at your lowest so you retreat to that comfort space as a place to isolate from reality for a while
"when they found a better planet, only the gentle survived" such a marvellous line. Charles Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest/ toughest here on earth but on some other better planet the gentle survived. This really feels like a hug for all the softhearted ones.
This has to be my favourite song in the album. It’s just so relatable, hating reality so much that you just constantly imagine a different world where everything is perfect. I feel like that all the time.
the excellence of "i'll get lost on purpose"... this whole song has a special place in my heart. in all daydreamers' hearts who hate where they are and who they present themselves as, really❤
You are real big and behind a screen King.... I think you need to come off your high horse and stop pretending you know how a person feels and how they present themselves. Your such a joke and that is all you will ever be.
„I’m lonely but I am good.I’m bitter but I swear I am fine. I save all my romanticism for my inner life.” She perfectly captured how we get disappointed with reality and it’s easier to live in our fantasies when all our love stories feel like kdramas with a happy ending.
I love how Taylor managed to explain building a safe inner life when you get dissappointed and hurt in real live in such a beautiful way❤ Every word just fits perfectly💕
This is the song in the TTPD album that I can relate to the most. I am suffering with anxiety, PTSD, and quarter life crisis. This world is so cruel and life is so unfair so during my free time and before I go to sleep, I would usually daydream of a utopian society. Sometimes we need fantasy to survive reality.
@aileensumalpong9424 That just means you’re a boring, normal person. Not a reality shifter, the only community that can understand this song…and most of the album, honestly.
This song perfectly describes my Borderline, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autistic experience. I often retreat to books, movies, video games, etc as a coping mechanism when things get dark or I’m sad, scared, or lonely (which is about 80% of the time) I also talk to family and journal but also just retreating to secret gardens in my mind.
@@ItsAlannaBanana Yesss… I feel like I spend my waking moments in disassociation. If I’m not in my mind dreaming of better things. I’m in books, tv shows or video games.
I see some people saying they are underwhelmed by this album, but I can’t comprehend how. The style of it is different and more raw than any of her other albums. She shows us all of her emotions, and I’m literally in love with it.
@@TCCaroline Well... it's called "Tortured Poets Department" for a reason. It's bound to be steeped in emotions and it is. Her lyricism and music in this album is reminiscent of Folklore. It's fine you don't vibe with it but I'm not sure how you expected her to be "gangster" or "turn it up" with a title like that.
I struggle with depression and have social anxiety, life can get pretty bad/hurtful, so I like to live in my daydreams, I look forward to dreaming every night, it's my way of escaping reality, if I could stay there I would, but even if not, it does kinda help me to keep on going in this life, it helps me not to end things. this was very relatable.
Never has somebody put depression so simply yet described is so perfectly. I hate it here. I have for years. I just want the pain to end so I escape into my mind, but the past wasn’t kind either. I hate it here.
I've been there, wrong job, wrong city, constantly under threat, and a narcissist birth family since childhood. Oddly, the thing that got me away from all that was getting hit by a car and becoming disabled. Basically, I lost everything, then more, and had to rebuild my life from zero.
Since the lockdown... I haven't been the same. One day I suddenly couldn't leave the house. I'm turning 30 this year, and I have no job, almost no friends, and this song broke me. Because, ironically, I'm a finance guy. I did study finances and banking. Taylor... You expressed so well what I couldn't
Take small baby steps. Go out on the porch. Then the end of the drive etc. small victories are still victory right? In time you’ll realize you’re outside again. Trust in yourself that you know what to do. ❤
Damn... the song that made me burst out crying was "I Look in People's Windows" because the first time I ever saw my husband was 19 years ago through his mom's kitchen window, he was looking back at me. Funnily I found out later that he was looking at me through my bedroom the night before. Sounds creepy but it was extremely romantic to me at the time. That song took me back to the moment I locked eyes with him; I could picture it. To add, we were long distance after that for a year so the "if-only", "south, south" and "northbound" lines really got me as well. Basically the whole song felt like it was written for me in a way... isn't it crazy that songs can do that for us? Anyways, I hope you find happiness again finance guy ❤
Oh my, your comment reflects the things I'm going through in my life now. I'm younger and I haven't made a career but I'm certainly facing the same: isolation, loneliness, and frustration for not finding a purpose in life. I didn't cry with this song but that doesn't mean it didn't strike a nerve. Taylor is so gifted to write such poetic and touching lyrics and that's why I love her so much. She's such a comforting angel and significant inspiration for lost souls like mine 🥹 I just hope you can overcome those struggles someday. You're still so young and I'm quite sure you can get better ❤️🩹 Have you tried to see a therapist? I'm seeing one now and trying to trust that eventually I'm gonna get out of the void 🩶
Sending you a huge virtual hug 🤍 Life is tough sometimes, but it’s the little things that get us through - Just like this song for many of us. From one stranger to another, sending you so much love.
I teared up listening to this. This song makes me realise why I always daydream and have made up people in my mind since I was 11. Because I was lonely.
"I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind" as someone living with depression this is what I always do using and music and books and writing to escape reality
I think it's something music producers usually add to songs they mainly produced which is called a "Producer Tag" (in this case we hear Aaron Dessner's). Which is why we also hear it in songs like "The Prophecy".
"i hate it here sso i'll go to secret gardens in my mind"🎀💌shes the reason whyyy i luv music😭, she makes everything sound so addictive, simple yet the relatable lyrics nd the way she writes her song, just sso mesmerizing nd tremendous🖇️💫
the excellence of "i'll get lost on purpose"... this whole song has a special place in my heart. in all daydreamers' hearts who hate where they are and who they present themselves as, really
@@cohehartno I'm sorry but it's the fact that this person went out of their way to go to a taylor swift music video and comment this, like I think you're a secret swiftie and just ashamed of it🤭
I love this song so much ❤❤ Its sadly one of the most overlooked song on ttpd. Im a i hate it here stan♡. Probably the most relatable song any artist has released yet 😢
not sure if i’m the only one who made this connection but at 3:01 when she says: ‘I hate it here to I will go to Secrets gardens in my mind People need a key to get to The only one is mine I read about it in a book When I was a precocious child’ I’m pretty sure she’s talking about the book “The Secret Garden” Where a little girl goes to live with her uncle and finds a secret garden outside. She later finds a key to unlock it and it becomes her own secret garden she can escape to. I guess Taylor read that book before and referenced it in this song?
The best part is that the garden is part of what heals her. Even as a method of escape she meets friends and finds joy and color returns to her face and I love that book so much
Taylor this song has helped me so much, this song describes what’s going on with me right now perfectly, thank you so much for this song it has got me thru some of the worst days of my life
this song its like if "Never grow up" actually grew up and saw reality. I wanna be a "I can do it with a broken heart" girlie so bad but in reality I'm really "I hate it here" depresso espresso gal 😩 This song resonates with every fibre of my being, its escapism at its finest.
Yeah same I was thinking "how dare she call me or like this" 😂 this song kind of has the same vibe as The Lakes imo but a bit more disassociated(in the best way) 😂
Omg this is exactly what I was thinking. Like I'm not a 'i can do it with a broken heart' girly because I'm really not 😭 I cannot do it unless I'm totally happy doing it. Lmao😢
" Quick quick, tell me something awful like you're a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy, tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is my eternal consolation price. You see I was a debutant in another life but now I seem to be scared to go outside" love this lyrics
@@bloodmoonlit13 sure! For me the first part means that it's awful wanting to create some art but not having the lifestyle that allows you to do it, maybe no time, always in a rush or working 8 hours a day with only numbers (for example), could be really exhausting or depressing when you hate your job and want to write poetry instead and wander through your own feelings healing yourself by creating things from it. The next part I don't understand very well who or what is she referring to but it means that sincerely talking, it's not what she wants for her life, it's something that it's just okay, not bad, but not either what she would've chosen for herself. In my own life I interpret it that the lifestyle I have right now it's not what I'd like to have, so it is like my consolation price for what I can do in this weird moment of my life. The next one for me means that in a previous life (if referring to past lives (which in my case it is) or maybe could be just a past time in her life) she was able to do what she wanted and speak up or whatever but right now she is literally scared of everything, like talking to people or even going outside. Anyway I think this is the magic of this, you can adapt it to your own life or interpret it as you'd like! Enjoy it! ❤✨ No wrong or right answers but I hope I helped to clarify it a bit :) Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴, English is not my first language, sorry if any mistake ;)
When I was growing up I got hyperfixated on "The Secret Garden" and we happened to live near a large botanical garden complex. I'd wander around for hours and look for the entrance to the secret garden, my parents had to come looking for me multiple times. I just left school before without being noticed and wandered down the road and sat in a tree reading and they had no idea and had to call my parents and go searching. So yh as a precocious, escapist child and equally "away with the faeries" adult who's bumbling through life this is absolutely my song and makes me tear up everytime.
Bro why is the only thing people have to say about this song that "tHeRe’S mOrE tHaN rAcIsTs In ThE 1830’s" I’m pretty sure Taylor is well aware of that. But by racists she meant all the slavery and mistreatment. There’s no way she could’ve used that to say "firehoses and slavery and ect" just acknowledge the beauty and meaning of this song.
I Love the rawness and passion she put into this song. Taylor is able to articulate through her lyrics, emotions that many people can relate to. An amazing soul, artist and philanthropist.
I can relate to this with my depression which causes me to isolate myself or crave my dark bedroom at times. Not always, but when the world is too stressful and frustrating.
Taylor you’ll probably never see this comment but I think your the most inspirational person to have ever lived. I’m only 12 But sometimes I feel depressed and lonely and you have been one constant in my life so thank you so much your work is highly appreciated This song means so much to me This album is your best work! 🤍🫶✨
I have generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and sub clinical OCD. I hate it here, and by here I mean my mental state. I hate how I have to live with this every day. I usually fantasize about a time where I get to be comfortable around people, or about a place where I can talk to people like somebody who doesn’t have these disorders. I usually don’t know how to deal with these disorders other than with medications and trying to push myself. It helps, but I just wish this would go away. I don’t want to have to fantasize for the rest of my life. This song describes how I feel quite perfectly. ❤
These lyrics make me feel a strong need to escape from the struggles of everyday life. The secret gardens in my mind are a peaceful place where I can go to feel safe and happy, It's a special space where I can get away from everything that makes me unhappy :/ I miss my bestfriend so much
I've not been doing well for a few years now and this song is so relatable and while some relatable songs are too painful or traumatic for me to listen to, this song really makes me feel peaceful and so understood
I've been a Taylor Swift fan since I was a little girl. Now that I'm in my twenties I still feel the same way I did back then while listening to her songs: like she read my mind and turned my thoughts into melodies. Her songwriting skills are top tier, and honestly so underrated. TTPD, especially the second part, is truly her best work in terms of lyrics. This song is for the writers and the dreamers, those who escape realty creating a different one, like she does. Truly beautiful
I don't understand why people are upset about the line "I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists/ And getting married off for the highest bid". She's saying how naive it was, explaining you can't just wish to be in another decade without having a fantasy idea of that decade. No matter the decade, there's so much to hate & horrible issues, the only place she wouldn't hate is a fantasy land that never existed.
They are upset because they cut it out of context just for the sake of being upset. They deliberately ignored the next line disregarding the whole thing, let alone the whole song. They are there to feel superiority. They get upset because Taylor's being praised when they think they deserve more. It's ALWAYS about them. Taylor's just being used as a scapegoat.
They are not mart enough to get her point, which is usually the reason she gets criticism. You have to have high emotional intelligence to fully get her lyrics.
I’ve always thought Taylor was a strong songwriter, but this is the album that turned me into a Swiftie. So many songs in TTPD are produced perfectly, but more than that they just move me at the core of my being. Many thanks to Taylor for bringing Music into this sorry world.
I should add that Aaron Dessner (cowriter), Glenn Kotchke, and James McAlister are a great combo to back up Taylor. The feel they create here is mesmerizing.
I love how everyone in this comment section has a different perspective of this song. It truly shows how music can mean so many things to everyone and not one of those things be related. ❤️ I luv music.
This how I interpret this song: The song means about how she hates how society is now so she daydreams about another place. She doesn’t like the people surrounding bcuz of how they r behaving towards her so she keeps her to herself and fantasies. Taylor really captures about how often we hate reality because of the people or how we are destroying the earth which makes us feel guilty in the inside.
I know this isn’t what Taylor probably meant when she wrote the wrong but I think this song applies beautifully to the people who daydream as a coping mechanism/maladaptive daydreamers.
literally exactly my thinking and why i like this song so much lol very relatable to me as a daydreamer
I think that’s exactly what she meant

"I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind"
as someone living with depression this is what I always do using and music and books and writing to escape reality
Same. 💙💙💙

I hate it here, the prophecy and I look in people's windows are songs I didn't know I needed
Totally 💜
0:01 Has anyone heard of the one-two-three at the beginning?
I hear it, also I don't know if anyone else hear Taylor clear her throat I the beginning of the Ready For it... music video
I've also noticed the same in The Prophecy
@@gb4826 I've noticed that too. Sound like the same, but louder?
I think it's something music producers usually add to songs they mainly produced which is called a "Producer Tag" (in this case we hear Aaron Dessner's). Which is why we also hear it in songs like "The Prophecy".
Sounds more like long pond session of evermore and folklore
"i hate it here sso i'll go to secret gardens in my mind"🎀💌shes the reason whyyy i luv music😭, she makes everything sound so addictive, simple yet the relatable lyrics nd the way she writes her song, just sso mesmerizing nd tremendous🖇️💫
Yea, she really knows how to put what we're feeling into words ❤
as a book lover, this song spoke to my soul.🩶
🤍🤍🤍
Same. During the school year I use books as escape all day everyday at school🥲💛
Imagine this set to a book about a lonely immortal 💔
As someone who daydreams everyday, this song is deeply personal to me
Same here😢❤
I can relate, i'm an Infp
Why?
ok
the excellence of "i'll get lost on purpose"... this whole song has a special place in my heart. in all daydreamers' hearts who hate where they are and who they present themselves as, really
Geography
kanye better

@@cohehartno I'm sorry but it's the fact that this person went out of their way to go to a taylor swift music video and comment this, like I think you're a secret swiftie and just ashamed of it🤭
this song gives my depression a hug. I love your music so much Taylor 🤍
i hope you feel better soon
Girl am speechless am crying tears of happiness
this song gives my depression a hug. I love your music so much Taylor
When she says ' I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child'
I think she is referring to the secret garden by frances Hodgson burnett. ❤😊
It literally says secret garden in one of the lyrics so that’s not much of a stretch if it is 😂
lol. Right? We have a genius here 😂
She’s bitter but she swears she’s fine. Fantasy is her way of coping.
I love this song so much ❤❤
Its sadly one of the most overlooked song on ttpd. Im a i hate it here stan♡. Probably the most relatable song any artist has released yet 😢
not sure if i’m the only one who made this connection but at 3:01 when she says:
‘I hate it here to I will go to
Secrets gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to
The only one is mine
I read about it in a book
When I was a precocious child’
I’m pretty sure she’s talking about the book “The Secret Garden” Where a little girl goes to live with her uncle and finds a secret garden outside. She later finds a key to unlock it and it becomes her own secret garden she can escape to. I guess Taylor read that book before and referenced it in this song?
YES THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING 😭
Omg that’s exactly what I was thinking when she said that
The best part is that the garden is part of what heals her. Even as a method of escape she meets friends and finds joy and color returns to her face and I love that book so much
Yes, I'm pretty sure the refference is intentional as she even said that it was jn a book she read as a child! :D
I love that book!!
This song touches me so deeply, I don't even know where it is
I hate it here, the lakes and wonderland are my favourite songs. you can kinda tell where i want to be right now. not here.
You're not the only one 💜
"And i'll get lost on purpose..this place made me feel worthless."
CRYING.
I'm grateful to live in a world where Taylor Swift exists
Grateful to live un her generation
I aint
@@KmanGamingYTThen go somewhere else
@@KmanGamingYTwhy u here then 😂😂😂
So many haters of him just because of one word
who else hates it here?
me
meeeee
I hate it here 2
Shit is garbage
Yep. If McDonald’s made a singer, she’d be it.
This is the most underrated song of this entire album
Taylor this song has helped me so much, this song describes what’s going on with me right now perfectly, thank you so much for this song it has got me thru some of the worst days of my life
Yes. It's so relatable 💜
this song its like if "Never grow up" actually grew up and saw reality. I wanna be a "I can do it with a broken heart" girlie so bad but in reality I'm really "I hate it here" depresso espresso gal 😩 This song resonates with every fibre of my being, its escapism at its finest.
Why want when you can be both 😭
Yeh this songs lyrics are so speak now coded
“Depresso espresso” LMAO
Yeah same I was thinking "how dare she call me or like this" 😂 this song kind of has the same vibe as The Lakes imo but a bit more disassociated(in the best way) 😂
Omg this is exactly what I was thinking. Like I'm not a 'i can do it with a broken heart' girly because I'm really not 😭 I cannot do it unless I'm totally happy doing it. Lmao😢
" Quick quick, tell me something awful like you're a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy, tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is my eternal consolation price. You see I was a debutant in another life but now I seem to be scared to go outside" love this lyrics
Do you mind explaining to me what it means?
@@bloodmoonlit13 sure! For me the first part means that it's awful wanting to create some art but not having the lifestyle that allows you to do it, maybe no time, always in a rush or working 8 hours a day with only numbers (for example), could be really exhausting or depressing when you hate your job and want to write poetry instead and wander through your own feelings healing yourself by creating things from it.
The next part I don't understand very well who or what is she referring to but it means that sincerely talking, it's not what she wants for her life, it's something that it's just okay, not bad, but not either what she would've chosen for herself. In my own life I interpret it that the lifestyle I have right now it's not what I'd like to have, so it is like my consolation price for what I can do in this weird moment of my life.
The next one for me means that in a previous life (if referring to past lives (which in my case it is) or maybe could be just a past time in her life) she was able to do what she wanted and speak up or whatever but right now she is literally scared of everything, like talking to people or even going outside.
Anyway I think this is the magic of this, you can adapt it to your own life or interpret it as you'd like! Enjoy it! ❤✨
No wrong or right answers but I hope I helped to clarify it a bit :)
Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴, English is not my first language, sorry if any mistake ;)
How is she so productive and hard working while being maladaptive daydreamer in the same time, is beyond me.
The huge amount of people works to make you believe such illusions
Please stop cappin
Got to go deeper than where your at, just saying!!!
@Mary-nq2mu she's a Karen. And you're a Karen.
she doesn't work a 9-5
THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED
When I was growing up I got hyperfixated on "The Secret Garden" and we happened to live near a large botanical garden complex. I'd wander around for hours and look for the entrance to the secret garden, my parents had to come looking for me multiple times. I just left school before without being noticed and wandered down the road and sat in a tree reading and they had no idea and had to call my parents and go searching. So yh as a precocious, escapist child and equally "away with the faeries" adult who's bumbling through life this is absolutely my song and makes me tear up everytime.
This song has saved me
How is it possible that Taylor swift can write songs on how we feel/experienced exactly.
she lives in our walls 🤫
This is “the lakes 2.0”
And it had a mashup with this 😭
this song is for the ones who get to hear "you live in your own world" all the time
Bro why is the only thing people have to say about this song that "tHeRe’S mOrE tHaN rAcIsTs In ThE 1830’s" I’m pretty sure Taylor is well aware of that. But by racists she meant all the slavery and mistreatment. There’s no way she could’ve used that to say "firehoses and slavery and ect" just acknowledge the beauty and meaning of this song.
this song perfectly captures the spirit of the creative mind. wanting to go and pursue your dream but it’s not steady.
I Love the rawness and passion she put into this song. Taylor is able to articulate through her lyrics, emotions that many people can relate to. An amazing soul, artist and philanthropist.
A SONG FOR THE MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMERS! 😭 nothing will compare to hearing this for the first time and feeling so seen. Love u Taylor
"And ill get lost on purpose. " real 😢
This song literally defined my whole life, the kind of validation i craved is so fulfilling yet sad
Thank you Taylor Swift
I love the meaning of this song and reading those misunderstood articles about this song made me feels even more relatable that I hate it here too.
Exactly they’re just proving the point 😭😭
I love you Taylor Swift 😇
I can relate to this with my depression which causes me to isolate myself or crave my dark bedroom at times. Not always, but when the world is too stressful and frustrating.
listen to kanye he makes me feel better
Sitting in my dark bedroom, my fav place.
The amount of poems i wrote listening to this song is actually insane
She is not only a singer but also a storyteller.
And also a queen
Urm what the sigma rizz
non
Taylor you’ll probably never see this comment but I think your the most inspirational person to have ever lived. I’m only 12
But sometimes I feel depressed and lonely and you have been one constant in my life so thank you so much your work is highly appreciated
This song means so much to me
This album is your best work! 🤍🫶✨
I have generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and sub clinical OCD. I hate it here, and by here I mean my mental state. I hate how I have to live with this every day. I usually fantasize about a time where I get to be comfortable around people, or about a place where I can talk to people like somebody who doesn’t have these disorders. I usually don’t know how to deal with these disorders other than with medications and trying to push myself. It helps, but I just wish this would go away. I don’t want to have to fantasize for the rest of my life. This song describes how I feel quite perfectly. ❤
This song always calms me down
This is so Seven coded from Folklore and I'm loving it ❤
ok
i think Robin is more Seven coded than this
The Lakes and Hoax too
Honestly this and "guilty as sin" are THE songs for the manifestation girlies and the maladaptive daydreamers....i can relate lol❤❤
I hate it here, so I go to Taylors music everyday ❤
Just listening to Taylor's music is healing. thank you!
I agree so many songs on this album is so underrated!! And her music can be for everyone!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
These lyrics make me feel a strong need to escape from the struggles of everyday life. The secret gardens in my mind are a peaceful place where I can go to feel safe and happy, It's a special space where I can get away from everything that makes me unhappy :/ I miss my bestfriend so much
this song is so folklore coded i love it 😍
Not as much as I love ur mum

These lyrics are ....genius. First Taylor album I've listened to....I get it now why people are so enamored with her now.
Thank you for giving her a chance ❤
taylor swift ❤
Sure man😂
@@quinntoonz 😁
You're joking right?
Your voice is soo healing.. so warm. You are like an endless ocean of love. Thank you Swift..
this song is everything to me.
How come everyone hates Taylor Swift but at the same time she’s one of the most loved people in the world?
The moment you realize you are the poet trapped inside a body of a finance guy.
I've not been doing well for a few years now and this song is so relatable and while some relatable songs are too painful or traumatic for me to listen to, this song really makes me feel peaceful and so understood
This song sounds like the perspective of an introvert trying to escape from a social event
you’ll find me in every taylor swift video❤
You are not alone
She's too pure for this planet... She must have come from a more heavenly one to help us find love, kindness, and give us hope...
GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY
ce serait bien que la terre soit pure sans elle
I completely agree that this is her purpose on this planet.
I've been a Taylor Swift fan since I was a little girl. Now that I'm in my twenties I still feel the same way I did back then while listening to her songs: like she read my mind and turned my thoughts into melodies. Her songwriting skills are top tier, and honestly so underrated.
TTPD, especially the second part, is truly her best work in terms of lyrics.
This song is for the writers and the dreamers, those who escape realty creating a different one, like she does. Truly beautiful
I relate to her more than i ever imagined...
Yeah cause u can't relate to ur parents
Taylor Swift is finally ranked No.1 on SPOTIFY in terms of monthly listeners🥳🥳
Number 1 fatty
@@Fazegranny_onyoutube 2nd grade insult
I don't understand why people are upset about the line "I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists/ And getting married off for the highest bid". She's saying how naive it was, explaining you can't just wish to be in another decade without having a fantasy idea of that decade. No matter the decade, there's so much to hate & horrible issues, the only place she wouldn't hate is a fantasy land that never existed.
They are upset because they cut it out of context just for the sake of being upset. They deliberately ignored the next line disregarding the whole thing, let alone the whole song. They are there to feel superiority. They get upset because Taylor's being praised when they think they deserve more. It's ALWAYS about them. Taylor's just being used as a scapegoat.
They are not mart enough to get her point, which is usually the reason she gets criticism. You have to have high emotional intelligence to fully get her lyrics.
@@evansellsatlantaspot on mate!!👍💯
I’ve always thought Taylor was a strong songwriter, but this is the album that turned me into a Swiftie. So many songs in TTPD are produced perfectly, but more than that they just move me at the core of my being. Many thanks to Taylor for bringing Music into this sorry world.
I should add that Aaron Dessner (cowriter), Glenn Kotchke, and James McAlister are a great combo to back up Taylor. The feel they create here is mesmerizing.
"I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life" This song feels like a more realistic, melancholy version of the lakes. I absolutely love it
currently at a college where its hard to fit in. so this song relates thank u.
This may be the most relatable song taylor written i cant stop crying its beautiful .
She also has the most calming speaking voice too...
THIS PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE SONG ON THE ALBUM
Mine tooooo!! ❤🎉 I love finding my song twins!!! I feel like we must be similar ❤🎉
ME TOO, finally someone loves this masterpiece, i couldn't stop crying
SAMEE I ALSO RELATE SO MUCH
@@burton7767fr
same!!!
I love how everyone in this comment section has a different perspective of this song. It truly shows how music can mean so many things to everyone and not one of those things be related. ❤️ I luv music.
This how I interpret this song: The song means about how she hates how society is now so she daydreams about another place. She doesn’t like the people surrounding bcuz of how they r behaving towards her so she keeps her to herself and fantasies. Taylor really captures about how often we hate reality because of the people or how we are destroying the earth which makes us feel guilty in the inside.
But she’s a billionaire.. she has power to effect change
It's giving "The lakes" for me!
@BigSkySix you're kidding right
@BigSkySixActually in many ways it does
@@Felix_greyShe's a billionare for sure, but the few that have real power are somewhere else... starting wars for example
