When I hear tunnels in this context I think of Cornelia Street. "Turned around before I hit the tunnel." Perhaps that's something she did often. Maybe fight, her drive off, get to the tunnel and get the call from him to go back home?

[@summersentiment]

!!! so interesting to think of it that way! for some reason i was only thinking of tunnels in the context of england lol but so much of that relationship was in new york and with songs like cornelia street it makes sense to take that into consideration! could totally see this being a nod to that! thank you for pointing that out 😊

Need loml breakdown

[@amandalogo9993]

"Handcuffed to the spell..." makes me think of "spell" as in a period of time. She'd never been in a relationship so long. Maybe she felt a stronger pull to the commitment than to the person?

[@summersentiment]

great point! 😊 that's definitely possible, like she felt obligated to stay!

[@anyahferguson585]

never miss a Taylor analysis from you... patiently for the loml 😣

[@summersentiment]

thank you so much😊 it is on the list!

[@livsayegh6576]

I absolutely love your analysis!! I can’t wait to hear more! I would love to hear your analysis on songs like The albatross and Cassandra and who’s afraid of little old me and The prophecy etc. !!! Those are some of my favorites off the album!❤

[@summersentiment]

thank you so much! 😊 those are great songs and would be great to analyze!

[@ndomini]

Thank you for another insightful analysis! I thought I had a pretty good understanding of this song but, as usual, you brought up intriguing ideas for me to think about... Your close examination of specific word choice is key; as we know, Ms. Swift is hyper-deliberate in all forms of art she releases, and must not be skimmed over. Your analysis helps me appreciate her brilliant songs/poetry/ lyrics even more than I already do!

[@summersentiment]

thank you for your kind words! 😊 and i agree that taylor is very intentional so imo her work requires a fine tooth comb lol i really appreciate your comment! means a lot 😊✨

I hadn’t thought of it before, but, when you talked about the possibility that she did something to end up in the slammer, I thought of the way people talked about her dating life. She should be able to date people for whatever length of time and not be the butt of jokes due to it, but a years-long relationship worked as a response to them. With that in mind, how can you leave if it’s not right? When the narrative is that you blow through guys, how long do you need to stay in a relationship to change that? “But it’s gonna be alright; I did my time.”

[@LadyoftheUnderground]

Then when you mentioned Getaway Car: That other relationship that she felt the need to escape lasted about 15 months, right? But that wasn’t enough to change the narrative. This relationship needed to be much longer.

Your sense of humor and editing is great! Singing after saying you're a bad singer at the beginning and delicate.mp3 had me rolling

[@summersentiment]

aww LOL thank you so much hehe 😊✨

[@isitovernow123]

"splintered back in winter" also makes me think of "balancing on breaking branches" from exile

[@Clara_taylorsversion]

32:49 Yes ofc!! Its a need

[@ValeriaY13]

Thank you for all these analysis. I've been a huge swiftie since the Fearless era. English is not my first language, so watching you has helped me a lot to understand the lyrics more deeply. "I will never miss your videos again" 🎶

[@WelcomeToCanadaToday]

I love your analysis, and you are beautiful!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@summersentiment]

aww thank you! 😊✨

[@alanats415]

Love this analysis! You should also see if you can do an analysis of the “in summation” poem for the album

[@summersentiment]

thank you! 😊 and that is added to the list!

[@Clara_taylorsversion]

In this song she says " years of labor and locks" and in So Long London " stopped trying to drill the safe" these lyrics make me think of Renegade!!

[@simplymatt13]

FINALLY

[@vakancy]

[@ladynoir7753]
