![]() ![]() So she hurts herself, just to get back at something that would've been good for her in her former relationships and then feeling bad about those "reflections and I think that "reflections" are a double entendre, because she's also reflecting on the past, and feeling about it for years and years. Then I hate my reflection for years and years This "searching for someone's dark side" concept is a thing that I resonate with personally if I'm with someone else who seems like a really great person, and if I know that I'm screwed up, and that I'm probably make mistakes part of me feels a whole lot better if I can find out what's wrong with them, what's their flaws so I don't have to feel so bad about myself and I think that this is what she means, and that's what she is looking for, like "I know that this going to go wrong, and I'd feel a lot better if it's just going to be your fault"Īnd I cut off my nose just to spite my face ![]() She's saying that "there are great things about me", but she's also saying that "there will always be those fights and at the end, everything will go south" Verse Twoīut what if I'm alright, right, right, right here? So she's saying that she's bee the cause and the recipient of those fights. The prey is when she's being hunted by a person or people who're stronger than her, it could be the people she dated, people who betrayed her, and even the people in general who try to tear her down because of her relationships. The archer is a great metaphor, because they can start off the fights from really far away and they are far enough so they don't get hurt at first. "I never grew up, it's getting so old", she's talking about those relationships, and this cycle of those relationships, which people critique her for and she's basically saying that "I know that a lot of the problems with those were me" so she's trying to grow up and be more mature, "Help me hold on to you" and she's trying to stick to the guy she's currently dating and it's important to her, because this message is in the pre-chorus, so it gets repeated a lot. So at first she's talking about those relationships, those ones who come and go fast but after that those lines are where things get really interesting. I think that this is her basically saying that when she comes to a relationship situation, she just wants for it to go wrong she knows that people are going to talk and fight about it so she comes in defensive already, looking for that reason to fight and she has to remind herself not to which is something that I can empathise with a lot. I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you I say I don't want that, but what if I do? ![]() Can you imagine being somebody who's so popular and famous with such controversial relationship decisions that the people all around the world talk about and critique you? Well, I think that some of that is brought up in the song, and we are going to dive into it. Today, we're going to talk about "The Archer", a new song released by Taylor Swift this song is really interesting, particularly because it's the fifth one on the album what does that mean for her fans?! Well, she's talked about it in a recent live-stream basically, her fans started noticing that the fifth songs on her albums are always extra vulnerable and emotional so we knew that this will probably be really deep and really personal and so I've looked through the lyrics, and I've analysed them, and I can confirm this song goes deeper than most of her songs, and it's really really interesting.Ī little bit of contexts she is still dating that one guy named Joe, and who doesn't want to be a celebrity, so we're not talking about him really the fact that matters is that she's dating someone and I think that this song is written to that person but in classic Taylor Swift fashion, it goes in really deep into some of her own insecurities, and it even talks about the way that we as a general population view her.
