The Archer 🏹 as a book (insp)

[cynicalbisexual]

“But who could stay?”

[1989taylorsversion]

“The room is on fire, invisible smoke” has big “The monsters turned out to be just trees” energy

omg this is such a strong lyric parallel... “this thing looks really dangerous and scary but it turns out it’s all in my head”

[alltootayloralisonswift]

this is the most vulnerable she’s ever got lyrically

[taylorswifh]

A very vulnerable, personal, honest, emotional song as track 5.

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 on to you I’ve been the archer, I’ve been the prey Who could ever leave me, darling But who could stay?

The Archer is my new anxiety-is-a-battle-but-I-am-ready-for-combat song. This song is everything.

she got so sick of us whinging about the 10 min of all too well she dug out her diary and said here u fuckin go

[rudeinterrupti0ns]

ok but imagine "help me hold onto you" to the tune of "and i will hold on to you" from new years day and boom there you have the tour piano mash up that we'll cry over for years to come you're welcome

taylor talking about 13 years of her career for the first time then sharing the lyrics “I’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you,” which parallel “In a box beneath my bed is a letter that you never read,” from the first song we ever heard from her, 13 years ago. yeah, im not okay.

[saidstayaway]

WAIT DID I JUST REALIZE SOMETHING

She starts off the song saying "Combat, I'm ready for combat" and goes on to say that she looks for fights because it's what she knows and what she learned

But then at the end of the of the song when she's saying "You could stay" she ends off again with "combat, I'm ready for combat" meaning she's ready to fight to KEEP the relationship this time

SHE IS SO BRILLIANT

[ialmostdots]

I got chills reading this

[comebackbehere]

I'm curious about the others songs like will we get to see how she went from those feelings in the archer to feeling happy with herself in me!

Every girl wants to hear those three words. “Producer: Jack Antonoff”

[whocouldstayisleaving-deactivat]

the archer is her saddest and most haunting song because it’s not about a betrayal of a lover, a friend, or the media/greater society. it’s about feeling like you’ve betrayed yourself

[foreverrraswiftie]

This song made me so sad and how I can relate to it 🥺
