It’s been one whole week of experiencing the magic masterpiece that is folklore and needless to say, I too have transformed into a somber woodland fairy 🧚♂️
My favorite songs and lyrics exactly one week after the album drop, in no particular order, are ✨
‘And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow’, ‘In my defense I have none’, ‘for digging up the grave another time’, ‘I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit’, ‘If one thing had been different, would everything be different today’, ‘and if my wishes came true, it would have been you’, ‘but it would have been fun, if you would’ve been the one’ & ‘it would’ve been sweet, if it couldn’t been me’
‘Tried to change the ending, Pete losing Wendy’ & ‘You drew stars around my scars and now I’m bleeding’, I knew you, dancing in your Levi’s, drunk under a street light, I’ & ‘I knew you, playing hide and seek and giving me your weekends, I’
the last great american dynasty
‘Fifty years is a long time. Holiday house sat quietly on that beach. Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits. And then it was bought by me’ & ‘Blew all the money on the boys and the ballet’ &’ I had a marvelous time’ (mostly because of not taylor sings it)
‘Like you’d get your knuckles bloodly for me’, ‘it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it’, ‘second, third and hundredth chances’ & ‘You never gave a warning sign/ I have so many signs’
‘And I still talk to you when I’m screaming at the sky. And when you can’t sleep at night you hear my stollen lullabies.’, ‘You wear the same jewels that I gave you, as you bury me’ & ‘And you’re tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, crossing out the good years.’
‘Spinning in my highest heels, love. Shining just for you.’, ‘I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try try try’ & ‘I’m still trying everything to keep you looking at me’
‘Please picture me in the trees’, ‘It hit my peak at seven, feet’, ‘please picture me in the weeds’, ‘before I learned civility, I used to scream ferociously.’ & ‘are there still beautiful things?’
‘Cause you weren’t mine to lose’ & ‘Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car.” And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call? Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all. "Meet me behind the mall.”’
‘They told me all of my cages were mental. So I got wasted like all my potential’, ‘You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town’, ‘Pourin my heart out to a stranger’, ‘I’ve been having a hard time adjusting, had the shiniest wheels now they’re rusting’ & ‘My words shoot to kill when I’m mad. I have a lot of regrets about that.’
‘Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby.” Look at this idiotic fool that you made me’, ‘Take the words for what they are, dwindling, mercurial high’ & ‘That’s the thing about illicit affairs, clandestine meeting and stollen stares. They show their truth one single time, but they lie and they lie and they lie a million times.’
‘Time, mystical, time. Cutting me open and healing me fine.’, ‘Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart. Now I send their babies presents.’, ‘one single thread of gold tied me to you’ & ‘Gave me the blues and the purple pink skies’
‘Does she smile? Or does she say, “fuck you forever”’ & ‘It's obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together’
‘Some things you just can’t speak about’, ‘hold your hands through plastic now’ & ‘With you, I serve. With you, I fall down (down).’
‘Will you have me, will you love me? Will you kiss me on the front porch in front of all your stupid friends?’ & ‘I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything but I know I miss you.’
‘They love is for show but I would die for you in secret’ & ‘Your integrity makes me seem small. You paint dreamscapes on the wall. I talk shit with my friends. It’s like I’m wasting your honor’, ‘But the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me.’ & ‘Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?’
‘Don’t want any other shade of blue but you’, ‘No other sadness in the world would do’, ‘stood on the cliffside, screaming “give me a reason” & ‘my kingdom come undone’
I can’t thank you enough @taylorswift for the folklore you gave to us 🧚♂️ We promise to pass them down✨🖤
