SHE GHOSTED (her old label) BUT KEPT THE CASTLE (THE OWNERSHIP TO HER SONGS!!!)

I can reclaim the land.

A deep dive into Maroon Ft. The Great War x Afterglow x Lover MV!

Please hold for a rollercoaster of uncontrolled thoughts… I think it's possible that Maroon could be written from two shifting perspectives, Taylor and Joe's. I also think it could be elaborating into what could have been if it wasn't resolved/ could be written from the perspective of before it was resolved.

I have been thinking about this but, I just saw some Bleachella photos of her and her damn lips are so scarlet they were MAROON. This is also the time when we believe she met Joe "flashback when you met me, your buzz cut and my hair bleached" (Dress). There has been a burning question I've had about something that clearly happened to them early in their relationship. Some kind of grand misunderstanding that almost ended it. See also Afterglow- the entire song. "I blew things out of proportion now you're blue. Put you in jail for something you didn't do" and so on. I believe The Great War is also referencing this same event, as well as Cornelia Street. I also can't shake the sound of the underlying synth voice manipulation at the end of the song being somewhat reminiscent of super distorted Delicate into. I'm sure there are plenty of other things I'm missing as the more I look at this the more ties I see to other songs.

Possible Maroon Lyrics References:

Like you were my closest friend- It's nice to have a friend, also I don't want you like a friend (Dress) There are many references to her and Joe being friends first- We were supposed to be just friends (Glitch)

And I chose You

The one I was dancing with in New York, no shoes- Barefoot in the kitchen (Cornelia Street, a former apt of hers in New York)

Looked up at the sky- from the rooftop in Cornelia Street (sat on the roof, you and I) or KOMH ?

When you splashed your wine into me - spilling wine in the bath tub (Dress)

The mark they saw on my collarbone- Made your mark on me (Dress)

The rust that grew between telephones- I lived like an island, punished you with silence (Afterglow)

Sobbing with your head in your hands- Went off like sirens, just crying (Afterglow)

Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us- Meaning that Taylor thinks differently of this relationship at the time of this event before it's resolved, though she had originally thought it was perfect turned out to be false.

The rubies that I gave up- The initial possible loss of her career to have a private relationship after the "why she disappeared-saga "aka They took the crown but it's alright ( CIWYW ).

From The Great War:

It turned into something bigger- I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue (Afterglow) Somewhere in the haze (Lavender Haze), got a sense I'd been betrayed Your finger on my hairpin triggers Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth- Thought I had reason to attack, but no (Afterglow) Broken and blue, so I called off the troops -I blew things our of proportion now you're blue (Afterglow) That was the night I nearly lost you I really thought I'd lost you

To that bloodshed, crimson clover - (Hey Maroon!)

Relevant lyrics from Cornelia Street:

I thought you were leading me on I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street Before you even knew I was gone

But then you called, showed your hand I turned around before I hit the tunnel Sat on the roof, you and I

Complete Afterglow Lyrics

I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue Put you in jail for something you didn’t do I pinned your hands behind your back, oh Thought I had reason to attack, but no Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there’s no us Why'd I have to break what I love so much? It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say

Hey, it's all me, in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant Sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh) I don’t wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh) I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow It's so excruciating to see you low Just wanna lift you up and not let you go This ultraviolet morning light below Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh I lived like an island, punished you with silence Went off like sirens, just crying Why'd I have to break what I love so much? It’s on your face, don't walk away, I need to say Hey, it's all me, in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant I'm sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh) I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh) I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow

Tell me that you're still mine Tell me that we'll be just fine Even when I lose my mind I need to say Tell me that it's not my fault Tell me that I'm all you want Even when I break your heart I need to say Hey, it's all me, in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant Sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh) I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh) I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow

I also can’t ignore the fact that in the Lover music video I think we see this situation play out, but it’s almost missed since the lyrics do not reflect anything of this nature. While the red room in Lover has been declared as representing RED, the album, rewatching it, I can’t ignore that it’s also maroon. Here are some stills in order from the video.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
