What if I told you none of it was accidental?

Hi! Here's my side blog where I post about parallels in Taylor's lyrics!

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

I once believed love would be burning red, but it's golden -> It's like your body is gold -> Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo -> You painted me golden -> One single thread of gold tied me to you

Daylight (Lover) - End Game (reputation) - Dress (reputation) - Dancing With Our Hands Tied (reputation) - invisible string (folklore)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

The lingering question kept me up -> The question pounds my head -> Can I ask you a question?

Enchanted (Speak Now) - coney island (evermore) - Question...? (Midnights)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago // Big city, wrong choices // You look like bad news // You look like my next mistake // I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're making mistakes // That was my crime, the wrong place at the right time // Long story short, it was the wrong guy // A string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms // Something wrapped all my past mistakes // Flashback to my mistakes // And I've loved in shades of wrong // I've made mistakes and made some choices // And I know I make the same mistakes every time

I Knew You Were Trouble (Red) // Question...? (Midnights) // 22 (Red) // Blank Space (1989) // New Year's Day (reputation) // Slut! (1989) // long story short (evermore) // invisible string (folklore) // invisible string (folklore) // Dress (reputation) // State of Grace (Red) // End Game (reputation) // Call It What You Want (reputation)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Can't remember what I used to fight for -> I wish we could go back and remember what we were fighting for

evermore (evermore) - I Wish You Would (1989)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Let them say what they want, we won't hear it -> They're bringing up my history but you weren't even listening

I Know Places (1989) - Lavender Haze (Midnights)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

I'll tell you the truth but never goodbye -> Bracing myself for the goodbye 'cause it's all I've ever known -> I've been Miss Misery since your goodbye -> Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts -> I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye -> People like me are gone forever when you say goodbye -> Said goodbye in a getaway car -> Teenage love taught you there's good in goodbye

Daylight (Lover) - Mine (Speak Now) - Mr. Perfectly Fine (Fearless) - Death By A Thousand Cuts (Lover) - I Almost Do (Red) - All You Had To Do Was Stay (1989) - Getaway Car (reputation) - All Of The Girls You Loved Before (Lover)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

It takes everything in me just to get up each day -> It takes everything in me not to call you

Mr. Perfectly Fine (Fearless) - I Almost Do (Red)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Say Don't Go x it's time to go (Sao Paolo N3)

I've known it from the very start -> You know, in your soul

Why'd you have to lead me on? -> I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Dress (reputation) x I Can See You (Speak Now)

Our secret moments in a crowded room -> What would you do if they never found us out?

All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation -> I've been watching you for ages and I spend my time trying not to feel it

My hands are shaking from holding back from you -> What would you do if I went to touch you now?

Only bought this dress so you could take it off -> I could see you, throw your jacket on the floor

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

You and I walked a fragile line, I have known it all this time -> Lost your balance on a tightrope -> I'm still on that tightrope -> I'm standing on a tightrope, alone

Haunted (Speak Now) - Innocent (Speak Now) - mirrorball (folklore) - Say Don't Go (1989)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Now I send their babies presents -> Now I get fake niceties

invisible string (folklore) - happiness (evermore)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

In the disbelief, I can't face reinvention -> You're on your own, kid, yeah you can face this

happiness (evermore) - You're On Your Own, Kid (Midnights)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Staying friends would iron it out so nice -> I'm sure that you got a wife out there, kids and Christmas -> Picture perfect shiny family, holiday peppermint candy, but for him it's every day -> I'm so glad you made time to see me, how's life? Tell me, how's your family? -> For the boys who broke my heart, now I send their babies presents

closure (evermore) - right where you left me (evermore) - Midnight Rain (Midnights) - Back To December (Speak Now) - invisible string (folklore)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Got a history of stories ending sadly -> I see how this is gonna go

Electric Touch (Speak Now) - ...Ready For It? (reputation)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Isn't cool, no, I don't like you -> Is it cool that I said all that? -> It's cool, baby, with me -> It's cool, that's what I tell them

Look What You Made Me Do (reputation) - Delicate (reputation) - invisible string (folklore) - Cruel Summer (Lover)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

It was the great escape, the brison break -> I see the great escape

Getaway Car (reputation) - You're On Your Own, Kid (Midnights)

[taylor-being-a-mastermind]

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street -> Every dead-end street led you straight to me

Red (Red) - All Of The Girls You Loved Before (Lover)
