Taylor Swift - Exile ft Bon Iver (Official Lyric Video) Music Reaction

[@GigaChaadam]

I interpreted the side door as like at a cinema or theatre you leave the side door during a movie you are bored of or dont wanna watch anymore. Just quietly slipping through the side door while the movie continues is like leaving a toxic relationship when you know it’s not going anywhere and you can Predict the end line of the relationship. So you just abandon it like abandoning a movie.

[@hygirl21r7]

I thought of a cinema as well 👍🏽

[@abeautifuldayful]

yes, and it keeps the same metaphor of a film used throughout for great cohesion in the great lyrics, in this case referencing that she didn't like the ending. Beautiful stuff.

[@guilty_as_sin]

"I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending" wow...

[@Lochness19]

Especially since there's other film/theatre lyrics "like he's just your understudy" and "I think I've seen this film before". Or maybe it's like when you're in a play and your scene is over and you discretely leave through the side door on the stage?

[@hygirl21r7]

@@Lochness19 ou! Her scene was over! Love that!

[@babybliss5]

The side door isn't a planned exit. It's a quick escape

[@yashnatiwari5484]

[@vesperavespera4110]

i really like the interpretation about the side door. in a relationship, the side door wasn't the obvious one, no one ever thought it is the right answer/door. both side only thinks about the front door or the back door. as if the side door never existed in the beginning. it's hard to explain lol.

[@charlottepettigrew5825]

I always interpreted it as the side door at the movie theatre - because just before Taylor sings this, the lyrics are "I think I've seen this film before and I didn't like the ending." So Taylor says "Now I'm leaving out the side door." because she is just going to abandon the film playing and not even bother to see it through - like this metaphorical relationship.

[@callumsawyer177]

For me, the side door is like an escape exit. You don't expect to use it, only in a state of emergency.

[@blue85610]

Interesting note Taylor said "This is the last time I'd let you in my door" from her song The Last Time (Red) and both songs are similar

[@yashnatiwari5484]

Wow Btw I covered this

[@marigoldgreen5006]

I interpreted the side door line differently. The main idea of the song is how they’ve seen this film before. They don’t like it. In theaters, when you dislike a play or movie, or are just bored, you quietly sneak out the side door. This also ties to her “understudy” reference as it connects to theatre and films. It’s like abandoning a movie midway because you can already see that it’s not worth your time.

[@fum00A]

I like your interpretation better than the one given in the presentation.

[@yashnatiwari5484]

Hmmmm Btw I covered this

[@xtremeLo]

I think the language, the words they use are key as well to understand the POV of each part. Like, he is using word references as defending his homeland, the town and exile, almost like a soldier depicting his mission. She instead, seeing herself as a problem but he was his crown, he made her feel like a queen but noticed as well how she was his demise. They spoke in completely different ways trying to convey the same but that's exactly what broke them and she run through the side door in five minutes. Then this song happens when they run into each other in some random situation where he finally gets his opportunity to ask why she left and she tries to explain, once again (second, third, hundreth) but he still doesn't understand and they engage in a final fight, a never ending story hurting each other, starting to reply eaches other arguments. Destined to be like this forever if they stay together so she just leaves, at the end of the song she doesn't reply anymore and he asks for the warning sign, fading out the song 'cause the signs are still there he just can't see them or even hear her out and she leaves once again for good. I can relate to her, sadly. It's hard to take the side door 'cause the other person made you feel so powerful and great but never understood the signs, the languaje... so even it it hurts you need to move on and take care of oneself. It shouldn't be offensive to try to love again and move on.

[@BeardsBrains]

this is really interesting!! thank you for this insight!! 🙏

[@racheltisdale8877]

the side door links back to the first verse also- it happened so fast from his perspective. In his eyes she left him without a second thought, "Packed us up in five whole minutes". Because she gave warning signs and he didn't see them

[@yashnatiwari5484]

True Btw I covered this

[@RockDocNeal]

I initially heard this song while driving in my car and the lyrics hit me so hard I almost had to pull over because they're basically a synopsis of my entire history of relationships.

[@aminmarohomsalic1997]

Its like this two person running in a marathon with agreement that they will reach the finish line together but suddenly one of them took a shortcut ( side door) that totally caught the other one off guard. Like he wasn't expecting that. He is trying to enjoy their time together running but she just end it quickly. You get what I mean? Hahaha. Sorry for the long explanation.

[@Lydiaaa-wf2xx]

okay ,i got you

[@yashnatiwari5484]

[@cornellthomas5444]

I really enjoyed both views and interpretations. "Side door" is the 3rd option most never see or take. You are right. She packed up and ended it, leaving without warning. Great reaction!

[@yashnatiwari5484]

Amazing!!! Btw I covered this

[@msmilano7091]

Her side was that she did try to tell him that she was unhappy. He just didn’t pick up on it.

[@AndroWeeN]

I just found this video, and when I finished I felt like this was like therapy for couples when both of them feel really comfortable sharing their thoughts on something even if they're not sure if it's right or not, but just having someone to talk to and receive feedback on it, I loved it!

[@00Kristyna00]

This is the second reaction I watch from you... and I was thinking.... damn, that girl is really smart.... then I saw your channel name. HAHAH Anyway, now I really want a rection to all the songs from the album haha. You're very intuitive and your insight is so interesting. I think you'll enjoy - My tears recochet (about people betraying you, and Scott borchetta specifically selling Taylors songs) - Illicit affairs (about cheating) - This is me trying (abut depression) - Epiphany (about war, covid and ptsd) - Seven (deals with seing the world as a child, and tackles home abuse) - Peace (about feeling you're not enough in a relationship) God, she put up a masterpiece.

Trueeeeeeeee Btw I covered this

[@hannahwho3314]

Hey you guys, I really like your interpretation on the "side door" thing. For me it sounds like when the relationship has a beginning and an end and you walk until the end it is like dragging the inevitable out. Like when you repeat and repeat and repeat the mistakes you made until you are both worn out and it is nothing left of you. So she chooses to leave through the side door. For me it means that she sees the destructive type of relationship with "second, third, and hundredth chances balancin' on breaking branches" that is destined to end at some point and instead of letting that happen, she ends it before they are both completely destroyed... Don't know, that's what I get from it. Really haunting lyrics and I love the two sides singing their perspectives to another. Best wishes from Germany, Hannah

[@philawsophy3197]

Liv Anderson From what i read from the other comments and i actually listened back to it and it made perfect sense. 1.Cardigan: This is Betty’s POV about James leaving her for someone but then coming back to her eventually 2. Betty: James POV explaining how it was just a “summer fling” and that he has never really moved on. 3. August: The girl’s POV whom James cheated with. August is a song about unrequited love. That her love for him was real.

The fact that she wrote this song with her boyfriend of five years fuvdifbjdbfjd

[@ChandraLeigh]

This song is a conversation between Taylor and her ex manager, who she left so her father could manage her, I believe. The one who eventually betrayed her by selling her music to Scooter Braun.

[@babyjane534]

I had a hard past with my mom. Then when it goes "you never learned to read my mind" I think about her never understanding me, then "you never turned things around" meaning she didn't save me from myself as a teen, "I gave so many signs " just me doing lots of things harming me because I was sad and there were a lot of signs. Just thought I would share how I personally feel it cause everyone can have a million different versions 🥰 love the song

‘You didn’t even hear me out’ sings Justin and Taylor. Funny how right after, the next lines are Taylor and Justin singing over each other.. like they actually talking to each other without listening to each other and letting the other speak. Very smart writing/ singing this.

[@danxavier25]

I love your interpretation of the side door line. I have a similar one: I think she saw the realationship in the early stages as something certain, you know? Like "Ok, so this begins with them in the front door and the back door for her at first could have been they being forever happy or passing away eventually by growing old together. But in the middle of the realationship they had struggles, stuff happened and she had to leave through the side door because she realised that they wouldn't reach the back door one day as she used to think they would. 💔😰

I thinks the exile is about two people that love each other but are constantly hurting each other, and at this point they just say STOP, the part about ‘ I think I’ve seen this film before’ means that this happened before. And at this point they just can’t be together because the hurt is more than the love and I think the side door interpretation was very good.

The first verse sounds more like he’s a potentially abusive ex who thinks she’s really still his. Understudy being the person who stands for the main actor of a play temporarily. Leaving by side door implies that she doesn’t want to be followed by him. She’s says I’m not yours so who am I offending? As in why should who I am dating be anything to do with you. Add that to the reference that she thinks he might be violent against this person. Lots of red flags. She can’t even just leave. She has to remove herself from his life before he even really knows she’s gone. Then add “warning signs”.
