I’m actually surprised that this song is the least popular in Folklore - the melancholy melody, the vivid imagery given by the lyrics. I’ve been playing this on repeat.
@@bejewled gurl what? I used to cry to it nearly every night. Now I’ve learned to play it on piano and I can’t stop playing it and singing it 💀(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Yeah. I agree. But eitheir way she loves fancy metaphors sometimes and i love that she can do both in such a meaningful way. There is a beauty in the simple and a beauty in the fancy, you just gotta know how and when to use them, cause they are tools, and there is not a better one, the important thing is to pass your message and Taylor does it very well.
this whole album is “sitting by a foggy window sipping tea on a rainy august night, with a cat curled in your lap while you read french poetry wearing a cardigan” kind of vibe.
When I first listened to this song, I didn't really have any feelings. It wasn't until I listened to it a few more times that I truly started to understand how intense it is. When she says, "I stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason" it makes my skin get goosebumps. And, "You know it still hurts underneath my scars from where they pulled me apart" makes my eyes sting. You can hear the hurt in her voice, its chilling. It's hand down one of the best songs on Folklore
same. in my case english is not my first language and i have to read the lyrics while listenign to fully comprehend them. I slept on hoax, pease and mad woman. don't know why, i was a big fan of all the others but forgot about these ones. then i heard them reading the lyrics and WOW. i absolutely adore them. so beautiful. this is the perfect album.
Lol I feel the same, although I am in a bit of a rut right now, so I'd actually be standing on a cliff side screaming "give me a reason" for a reason lol
I think Champaign problems(Evermore)is the Bride's point of view saying no to the wedding. And hoax is the groom's point of view after the rejection of the bride.
Although this song sings of blues, comfort comes like a pack of seals amidst a battalion of hungry sharks. The seals though, have a 100 meter head start, and there’s plenty of small to medium crevices
I know that a lot of people consider this to be the worst song on folklore but this song is just so magical and beautifully written. ... Where are my hoax stans at???? Edit: You can see that this is the least-appreciated song in the fandom. This was the first song on folklore to leave the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the lowest charting song of folklore on said chart in its first week. It's also the least talked about on social media and one of the least viewed lyric videos of this album on TH-cam. Hoax honestly deserves more love.
I'm pretty certain this is going to be the album of the decade, it's come at a really important time. You can't fault any song. It's complex, layered, emotional, beautiful, personal and perfect. It's music to save us from a world covered in pain.
alishba nadeem this album made me happy and nostalgic at the same time I thought of all my memories listening to this album I cried mostly every song lol
@@Supernova-217 I wish I had! I was so bored, tried a few times to listen to the song again but they are so boring I just can't stand it and can't even get to the end lol well we all have different taste, loved 1989, Reputation, Lover... Well all of them except this
To think taylor reached a point in her life due to her reputation that she wanted to disappear completely but she turned from that cliffside and still tried her best to this makes me respect her and love her even more.
hoax: “don’t want no other shade of blue, but you” delicate: “oh damn never seen that color blue” dancing with our hands tied: “deep blue but you painted me golden” red: “losing you was blue like i’ve never know” cruel summer: “and it’s blue, the feeling i’m getting” miss americana: “we're so sad, we paint the town blue” paper rings: “i'm with you even if it makes me blue” gorgeous: “ocean blue eyes looking in mine”
taylor is the only one who that understands me. everytime she comes out with a new song, it becomes my favorite because it's a mental update for her as well as me.
I love the nostalgia vibes in that line... Like, losing something that means the world for you 'my kingdom come undone' is like a cloud castle when the wind blows
If her 1st album was Innocence, Fearless was Self-Discovery, Speak Now was Bravery and Breaking the mold, Red was Crimson Passion, 1989 was Reinvention and Youth, Reputation was Fiery Rage and Revenge, and Lover was Inner Bliss, Folklore is Melancholy...

In 2020, I had went through a very difficult situation that changed my life forever. My mom passed away, the very next month I was s*xually assaulted by someone I believed was my friend. My boyfriend at the time dumped me because of that (he was very religious, not an excuse but HIS excuse) and everything was falling apart to me. Taylor dropped this album 2 months later and I truly believe her music saved my life. I listened to folklore and specially this song on a loop for hours and hours cause my heart and soul felt nothing but pain, and this album gave me the hope I needed. The part where she says "you knew it still hurts underneath my scars for when they pulled me apart, but what you did was just as dark" was something that resonated with my situation a lot. Now, 2 years later, I still listen to folklore and give it a different meaning but I can't help to think back to those dark, twisted days. Now I'm healing, now I have hope, and I am doing it for the 19 year old girl who wished this pain would stop someday. It does.
Same. Went through a very dark time my ex had an affair and laughed at me finding out, I was bed ridden all of 2021 and I’ve never been the same but I’m getting better now and this song was one of things I remember during that time
Folklore is a masterpiece that you can listen to in any season, but it just feels more special when it's raining outside and you're playing this album while slowly sipping hot cocoa beside your window, pondering about what has been and what could be. Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020's Album of the Year, and actually one of the best albums of all time.
2020: Taylor's year of poetry, aesthetic, freshness, calm, delicacy, cinematic, grey, sadness, emotions, nostalgia, melancholy, warmth, peace, magic, tranquility, brightness, true, storytelling, real, calm aesthetic, comfort, home, reflections, vintage, whimsical, raw, and honest. You can name anything that suits... Thank you for your suggestions guys⛺
This album shocked me. I'm not a Swiftie, I only listened to her few songs I can count it on my fingers. I didn't know she could write this layered, detailed, beautiful, mysterious, heart-touching lyrics. I agree that this album should be awarded. Hands down one of the best album I've heard by far. Wow!! I'm blown away.
“don’t want no other shade of blue, but you” love is a double-edged sword- letting someone into your heart would also mean giving that ‘someone’ the permission to break it too. in this case, you’d rather feel that much pain and sadness with the person you truly love rather than letting just anyone to try make you feel happy. and probably, that is another hoax you’re trying to avoid for yourself. in short, just try to avoid an internal hoax with another hoax! hahaha.
@@jillevans7059 I feel like all 3 songs are lyrically "sad songs" but all too well has kind of a climactic ending, compared to last kiss and hoax which both have this really melancholy feel through the whole song
Hoax: Don’t want no other shade of blue than you Lover: My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue Paper Rings: I’m with you even if it makes me blue Afterglow: I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue London boy: And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince: We’re so sad we paint the town blue Delicate: Oh damn never seen that colour blue Dancing with our hands tied: Deep blue, but you painted me golden Gorgeous: Ocean blue eyes looking in mine Red: Losing him was blue like I’ve never known Everything has changed: All my walls stood tall, painted blue Dear John: You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain Tim McGraw: He said the way my blue eyes shined
A co-swiftie friend of mine sent me a video of him singing this. Now he passed away. Whenever this song plays, I remember him. "You knew it still hurts underneath my scars" James, I hope you're happy now in paradise, your voice will always be remembered,
*This is Me Trying:* "Pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down." *Hoax:* "Stood on the cliffside, screaming, 'give me a reason.'" Woah......! That's some dark subject matter you're singing about there, Taylor! Am I the only one who understands what these lyrics are implying?
@@ccappa2001 The lyrics imply that she was considering taking her own life at some point, and she was looking for a reason that would convince her not to do it.
Everyone is like this album is for bed time or a rainy day with a cup of coffee in your hand.... But man, how come i am listening to this every minute of the day since it was released
"You know it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart" This line hurts damn much if u have been a swiftie from the beginning of Rep era.!!
"stood on the cliffside screaming "give me a reason"" "pulled the car ff the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down" these hit home so much.
This song is truly close to my heart. For me it means, "Give me a reason", to take a leap of faith on the Cliffside. You know this person is going to be your ruination, you know what the ending of the movie is, as stated in exile. But you wouldn't take the pain and blues for anyone but them. And that's the beauty of Taylor's lyricism. Everyone can relate to it, but in different ways.
The lyric about standing on the cliffside is much darker than that. In This Is Me Trying, she talks about pulling her car off the road to the lookout, and possibly following her fears all the way down. She was considering taking her own life at some point, and was looking for a reason to be convinced not to do it.
@@upscaleavenue yes, I remember. Admittedly it has darker undertones, but my point was that everyone can interpret the lyrics in their own way. Like paintings in art galleries, its upto the perciever to guess what the painting means to them.
I think that this song is the response to champagne problems. Like the line “give me a reason” connects to the other song’s line “and I couldn’t give a reason”. I imagine this song as the groom is standing on the cliff after she rejected him contemplating whether or not he should jump, thinking about all the things he had done wrong and thinking about why she said no to his proposal
Paper Rings: "I'm with you even if it makes me blue" Hoax: "Don't want an other shade of blue but you" / "No other saddess in the world would do" Blue is the color of saddess. When you realize Taylor kept her word by saying "I'm with you even if it makes me blue".
"you knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart" 😔😔😔😔. I'd love to hear Taylor explain exactly what her thinking was behind this song. It's dark, disturbing and extremely sad. I can't stop pressing repeat.
Even though its framed as romantic, I believe its about Scott. This song heavily relates to MTR which is about him, and frames Taylor's sadness for what he did to her.
Guys it’s more than just the Kimye scandal, it’s every scandal in general and constant drama and stress from the public eye! It’s the full reality of what being famous is! Her faithless support (first time listening don’t judge me) is her fans! It’s really quite beautiful, and amazing that she is even able to put this kind of stuff on the internet really!
I like the aesthetic for this era, it seems to match how the album sounds. More wilderness and nature which goes along with more stripped songs. The production is amazing, but it is different from much of her past albums. It’s so vulnerable
the lyrics hit differently when I listen to this song in the middle of the night, this song suddenly becomes more appealing than when I listened to it in the morning.
I’m actually surprised that this song is the least popular in Folklore - the melancholy melody, the vivid imagery given by the lyrics. I’ve been playing this on repeat.
@@sarahbellea8584 this is foklore

@@anisanurraudah8383The Lakes is a work of art, and the only "fancy" word is elegies
I swear every single song of hers could easily stand as a poem
Was just thinking!
All songs are also poems
KatDmr, I agree. Same with Lana Del Rey’s songs.
To me it's a poem put in the shape of a song, with a melody, and instrumentals. Masterpiece !
Shakespeare lives in her 😂😂😂
The piano line in this song is magic. Like rain or tears falling.
It reminds me of the piano melody in Exile. But it's in a minor key (I think?!) Like a broken lullaby.
Then you might want to check out Gabríel Ólaf's music : )
yes! this song is beautifully crafted in every way
I'm looking for this comment. Yes I love the piano in here too❣

ofc it is😌
YAS.
YAAASSS
My Tears Ricochet is the best song on the album.
lmao i find this comment on every song
This is the most peaceful album ever...... No high notes, and no loud music..... Just some light music and angelic voice of Taylor😍😍😍😍
You're very right.👍
that's called indie, my guy, and it's wonderful
Yes! Very refreshing.
This album shocked me. I'm not a Swiftie, I only listened to her few songs I can count it on my fingers.
I didn't know she could write this layered, detailed, beautiful, mysterious, heart-touching lyrics. I agree that this album should be awarded. Hands down one of the best album I've heard by far. Wow!! I'm blown away.
🤗❤️😭
That’s one and only Taylor swift. No one can beat Taylor swift❤
So no one is going to talk about
My broken drum
You have BEATEN my heart.
Whyyyyyy is no one talking about this line.
It's probably the saddest line she's ever written. It's such an utterly hopeless line. Imagine having your heart beaten.
I love that part 💔
I felt that 💔
She's referring to Shake It Off, her loudest drum beat so loud it broke.
@@ziyanda_theartist i felt that, too 💔
“don’t want no other shade of blue, but you”
love is a double-edged sword- letting someone into your heart would also mean giving that ‘someone’ the permission to break it too. in this case, you’d rather feel that much pain and sadness with the person you truly love rather than letting just anyone to try make you feel happy. and probably, that is another hoax you’re trying to avoid for yourself. in short, just try to avoid an internal hoax with another hoax! hahaha.
interesting explanation omg
Wow
when u said double edged sword-Kyōtani is a double-edged sword in the match: he makes just as many mistakes as he does attacks- i'm sorry SJKAHAKAHA
Great thanks
Woah this is deep
*Taylor Swift* just saved 2020.
Her voice feels like home T_T
putting 'hoax' on her 'I dropped your hand while dancing' chapter finally gives this song the attention and thematic assimilation it deserves!
This song is sooooo peaceful and her voice is like an angel's voice(actually her voice is always like an angel)
Hard facts!
The way she says “my only one” makes me feel like I’m her baby and she is singning me a lullaby. Ok. I cry
Your comment somehow made me love this song 10 times more! The “my only one” part is so soft and angelic 😭
Wow
I love mama swift 💓
This makes me think that this song is about a miscarriage.
Not necessarily one that Taylor had, but a miscarriage nonetheless.
Jamie Ryan Storey 😢😢 my eyes are sweaty
These songs are all stories Taylor said she had imagined during quarantine. Taylor's imaginations are really wild and deep. I love them.
she didn't imagine the stories. what she meant by that is that she imagined the lyrics, meaning she imagined the metaphors
@@chanelpourhomme ok. Thanks for the explanation :)
this is actually my no. 1 favorite out of Folklore. Hoax deserves much better
same!!
i agree
also my number 1
Y'all hear it?? The queen is back, and she brings us ART
Nope she brought the same vybe, or am I the only one who expect something different
Vickash Ramrit you’re the only one who doesn’t have taste, this is nothing like lover
No, Blackpink is the queen
@@mylesmonroe3482 You're deaf, darling
@@karelynbotia8588 lol 😂
Real fan 👏👏
no one:
swifties: picking which song to listen to first, as soon as the cardigan live premiere ends
Hahahahaha me
me😭😭😭😭
I'm not a swiftie but it's me
Mee
🙌🙌🙌
Red songs: We're the most emotional Taylor could ever get
Folkore songs: Hold our cardigans while we introduce ourselves
Oh yes, pls.
This album reminds me a lot of the deep tracks on RED tbh
Yes!! I love the red and this album!!!
Sorry, but red is gonna be the best album ever.
@@aleeeeinad Yep! Still "All Too Well"
I've just noticed how her voice kind of breaks at 2:43, like she really feels what she is singing.. It's roughly beautiful.
reputation: ocean blue eyes
folklore: don't want no other shade of blue but you
never seen that color blue
Tom😭
Right when I saw this she sang it 😭😭
This album is so next level. I hope she stays in this direction. It’s brilliant.
She did stayed with Evermore :-)
@@fredbryce8263 YES! I know!
“Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in” can we take a moment and just applaud her?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *slow claps* *standing ovation*
*STANDING OVATIONNNN*
I don't really understand what it means lol
Eden Gallagher me neither 😭
@@edensylvester13 Same. What is the hoax? The faithless part or the love? So is the love untrue or is it untrue that the love is faithless?
I find it strangely comforting how this song is in part about an existential crisis
I’ve been waiting for a song such as “Last Kiss” since forever, and this album is like 16 versions of Last Kiss I love it
Yes!!
YAAAAAS!
i always thought that “all too well” was like the red version of last kiss
@@jillevans7059 I feel like all 3 songs are lyrically "sad songs" but all too well has kind of a climactic ending, compared to last kiss and hoax which both have this really melancholy feel through the whole song
OMG exactly!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
I love last kiss ❤️😭
Taylor swift Songs are NOT a hoax
They represent what they are, a true beauty
💜💜💜💜💜
@@valeriaalexaguerrero1453 💜💜💜
Hoax: Don’t want no other shade of blue than you
Lover: My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
Paper Rings: I’m with you even if it makes me blue
Afterglow: I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue
London boy: And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans
Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince: We’re so sad we paint the town blue
Delicate: Oh damn never seen that colour blue
Dancing with our hands tied: Deep blue, but you painted me golden
Gorgeous: Ocean blue eyes looking in mine
Red: Losing him was blue like I’ve never known
Everything has changed: All my walls stood tall, painted blue
Dear John: You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
Tim McGraw: He said the way my blue eyes shined
love this!
This is just so beautiful. Thank you so much for this 💙💙💙💙💙
@@frommywindow180 f
Blue ain't my fav color but I like seeing it in her songs
i think u made ur point Taylor´s fav colour is blue!
A co-swiftie friend of mine sent me a video of him singing this. Now he passed away. Whenever this song plays, I remember him.
"You knew it still hurts underneath my scars"
James, I hope you're happy now in paradise, your voice will always be remembered,
Rip 🙏🏻💐
I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏
❤️
my condolences ♥️
I am so sorry for your loss he probably is in paradise 😔❤️❤️💐🪷
Cruel Summer: And it's new the shape of your body, it's blue the feeling I've got
Hoax: don’t want no other shade of blue but you
It’s actually it’s new the shape of your body. AND it’s blue the feeling i got. So she is feeling blue. And the shape of the body is new
Joe=blue
Damn I got to that part when I read your comment
Diana Itzel Hernandez oh my bad. I’ll change it. Thanks for telling me!
Taylor : Not a lot going on at the moment
Also Taylor : Hey guys here's my new album♥👏
Yeah....True Surprise...🤗😂
4/27 : not a lot going on.
7/24 : drops the new album.
7+2+4 = you know it. hahah
Not a lot going on at the moment = 8 words, ~ 8 letters of folklore
Edmond Torres Reyes That’s a bit far fetched. Doubt it matters.
Random Potterhead We’re Swifties. Every detail matters to us.
Btw we’re also the smartest fandom in the universe.
*This is Me Trying:* "Pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down."
*Hoax:* "Stood on the cliffside, screaming, 'give me a reason.'"
Woah......! That's some dark subject matter you're singing about there, Taylor! Am I the only one who understands what these lyrics are implying?
yes. tell meeeeeeee
@@ccappa2001 The lyrics imply that she was considering taking her own life at some point, and she was looking for a reason that would convince her not to do it.
@@upscaleavenue but are these songs about Taylor specifically or is just her telling a story that has nothing to do with her?
Kate Scott the songs that are about other ppl are Betty Cardigan August. I’m pretty sure this is about her
@@alexandraciobanu3342 yea but i mean the thing about faithless love and all, im hoping this isnt about joe or anything lmao
"don't want no other shade of blue but you, no other sadness in the world would do"
I don't know if i could ever recover from this🤧💔
Everyone is like this album is for bed time or a rainy day with a cup of coffee in your hand.... But man, how come i am listening to this every minute of the day since it was released
I'm dealing with a breakup and honestly this song has me in tears.
I hope you'll be alright. Pls be strong. 🙂🤍
Keep your head up queen!❤👑
Please stay strong! Sending virtual hugs!
Stay strong ❤️ hope it gets better
Stay strong, in the end everything is gonna be okay💖💫
The old Taylor is back!”
Guys...
She never left.
THIS.
Nah, she strayed with Reputation, one of my least favorite album. Then Lover gave me all the feels, and I felt her return.
Well, i love all versions of her
im just crying so bad when i have just seen this TT
You're absolutely correct!!!
Mirrorball and hoax is the most underrated song on this album
aggreed
Seven is more underrated
@@TayTay299 I agree Seven makes me feel nostalgiac for a life a never had.
Epiphany too!
"Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in," is heartbreaking. She's got us crying over made up stories,,,, her power >>>>
“Made up” stories.
@@jascharl i get what you mean. Taylor, spill the tea!
Oh no , this isn't made up.
one thing i really admire about tay-- is i can really feel the pain in her song without hearing curses lyrics.
"You know it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart" This line hurts damn much if u have been a swiftie from the beginning of Rep era.!!
Even more so if you’ve been a Swiftie since Fearless.
I've been one since Red Tour was happening and I've never been so emotional listening to her
@Disha omg we became swifties at the same time
"stood on the cliffside screaming "give me a reason""
"pulled the car ff the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down"
these hit home so much.
This song is truly close to my heart. For me it means, "Give me a reason", to take a leap of faith on the Cliffside. You know this person is going to be your ruination, you know what the ending of the movie is, as stated in exile. But you wouldn't take the pain and blues for anyone but them. And that's the beauty of Taylor's lyricism. Everyone can relate to it, but in different ways.
You got it! and the trip Betty took getting here is painfully awful. What a beautiful album/story...
The lyric about standing on the cliffside is much darker than that. In This Is Me Trying, she talks about pulling her car off the road to the lookout, and possibly following her fears all the way down. She was considering taking her own life at some point, and was looking for a reason to be convinced not to do it.
@@upscaleavenue yes, I remember. Admittedly it has darker undertones, but my point was that everyone can interpret the lyrics in their own way. Like paintings in art galleries, its upto the perciever to guess what the painting means to them.
@@trushitadeshmukh8349 Definitely. That's the beauty of Taylor's songwriting.
I think that this song is the response to champagne problems. Like the line “give me a reason” connects to the other song’s line “and I couldn’t give a reason”. I imagine this song as the groom is standing on the cliff after she rejected him contemplating whether or not he should jump, thinking about all the things he had done wrong and thinking about why she said no to his proposal
This whole album is exquisite and I found myself saying “wow” out loud 20 million times at the genius of her lyrics alone 👏🏼💎🌪🌊
Exactly. This is a LYRICAL masterpiece. She keeps on proving why she's where she is now. She's outgrowing and making herself better EVERYTIME.
i love how this whole album is simultaneously something brand new and also reminiscent of all her old albums.
This song feels like one of those books that you read and then you think about it for days because it's just that haunting.
Paper Rings: "I'm with you even if it makes me blue"
Hoax: "Don't want an other shade of blue but you" / "No other saddess in the world would do"
Blue is the color of saddess.
When you realize Taylor kept her word by saying "I'm with you even if it makes me blue".
Didn't expect Goku to be a Swiftie
Joes eyes are really blue too
is she talking about her partner, do u think??
@@h3arty It's quite obvious tho, his fav colour is also blue.
Delicate: "Oh damn, never seen that color blue".
Listening to folklore is like "damn this woman has her own genre"
EXACTLY
petition to classify all music in this style as "folklore/evermore" though then again evermore has entirely different but the same vibes??????
"you knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart" 😔😔😔😔.
I'd love to hear Taylor explain exactly what her thinking was behind this song. It's dark, disturbing and extremely sad. I can't stop pressing repeat.
Somebody really hurt her during the Kimye drama and when everything was going on. Maybe not someone she would expect to backstab her.
Yes, perhaps the person she was with at the time, or had just left...
I think it might be about Karlie Kloss's betrayal...
Even though its framed as romantic, I believe its about Scott. This song heavily relates to MTR which is about him, and frames Taylor's sadness for what he did to her.
Guys it’s more than just the Kimye scandal, it’s every scandal in general and constant drama and stress from the public eye! It’s the full reality of what being famous is! Her faithless support (first time listening don’t judge me) is her fans! It’s really quite beautiful, and amazing that she is even able to put this kind of stuff on the internet really!
The depth of “This has frozen my ground” is beautiful & hits every time.
Manager: How small do you want the lyrics? Taylor: yes
I’m sitting on my bed without my glasses and STRUGGLING lol
Can't believe taylor swift hates blind people
*me used magnifying glass 😂
I thinks it has a reason tho . Im not sure what is it
U don't need the lyrics her peaceful voice is enough 😍💙❤️
I like the aesthetic for this era, it seems to match how the album sounds. More wilderness and nature which goes along with more stripped songs. The production is amazing, but it is different from much of her past albums. It’s so vulnerable
the lyrics hit differently when I listen to this song in the middle of the night, this song suddenly becomes more appealing than when I listened to it in the morning.
same here!!
normal people: fake love
ts: your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
