Taylor Swift - coney island (Lyric Video) ft. The National

[@daisy8440]

“do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care?” BROOOOOOOO THOSE LYRICS

[@darkclouds6708]

@@chuakooleenashley3282 Taylor says that her ex partner brought her into paradise and then left her there/broke up with her after giving her all those beautiful memories. and the male perspective (Matt berninger ) is asking her whether he will ever gain her forgiveness when she's old enough to see past the mistakes and too smart to trust him or fall for his tricks again. hope this makes sense

As a woman married 31 years, I hear this song as a woman whose husband has passed away and she's sitting on a bench at Coney Island and wishing she had told her husband more that she loved and appreciated him. It's about regret and love and marriage. It's one of the most powerful narratives I've heard sung. Amazes me that someone as young as her can write this song.

i hear it as something similar :) i once read a beautiful story about 2 lovers in the 1960s and one of them passed away. they were both men and spent their time together in hiding. just like you said, it’s about regret and all of the words left unsaid, all of the things they didn’t get to do. one of the most memorable moments in the story was their day at the beach, which i kind of connect to coney island

Then "did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray" which reminds me of John Mayer for Dear John's lyrics. "you paint me a blue sky , and go back and turn it to rain" Then, "when I got into the accident..." which reminds me of Harry Styles because of the whole accident thing. Then "and when I walked into the podium I think that I forgot to say your name." which reminds me of Calvin bc of him not wating to credit her for this is what you came for. But i don't know, I might be reaching here.

Notice how Coney island' is essentially a busy and hectic place, bustling with activity and crowds of people. However, here, it's a piece of barren, neglected land with a single rundown Ferris wheel. Describing the impact of the relationship and/or memories on the lovers. Personifying Coney island to the state of the lovers, how it changes from content to loneliness.

[@shalakaj523]

to add to that, she says we were like the mall before the internet, it was the one place to be. like she's still stuck in the mall while the world has moved on to the internet- similar to her sitting in the formerly exciting, brimming with energy place that is now deserted despite the old appeal of it

[@mickey-sr1wy]

bullseye, in the 1st verse she sings "how'd we get here so soon" which could refer to her travelling through time yet being stuck in the same location. "coaxed you into paradise and left you there" paradise parallel to coney island but without the lover, its miserable. I like your take on it!

[@shalakaj523]

@@mickey-sr1wy paradise is an interesting word! she has used paradise in rep, and "coaxed you into paradise and left you there" could mean leaving her lover at cornelia street which is like a home for them if taken literally, like leaving someone where the energy and fantasy formerly worked well. on a metaphorical note- it could indicate convincing a lover to stay in secret despite adversity and then not being able to hold that promise and leaving them hurt as well.

[@mickey-sr1wy]

@@shalakaj523 couldn't agree more. '𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦' is also an interesting word, a place which was hitherto associated with joyful, fuzzy memories of the lovers; is now a symbol of saudade or even.. regret. Home wasn't home any longer. Cornelia Street constantly reminds the lovers of 'what could've been' 'where they would've been, what they would've become' if they'd been brought upon different paths. The sole reason of the lovers considering a place to be 'paradise' was the presence of one another. It isn't leaving the other person in paradise- rather it is taking paradise away from them.

[@duongtin3258]

@Marina Kanan im not a swiftie either, but the fact many people could "make a fuss" is that they learnt to jump into Taylor's perspective to see the world through the very lyrics she wrote from folklore, now that world extended evermore. Plus, Taylor is playing easter eggs on her songs, connecting them into a massive universe, weaving a world of emotions that could paint moments of our lives and they hit some (well, many people) when they have the right mind for it. So if you can not understand about "the fuss", then its okay. Its just that you dont play the game and simply not in the right mindset she created from folklore. 😁

[@jackietrinket4659]

[@vihi5639]

Taylor is actually a songwriting genius. The way she managed to mention all of her exes in a song so beautiful is just amazing. Too polite to leave me- Tom, did I shatter you- Taylor Lautner, Birthday cake- jake, grey skies- John, not thanking him when she was on the podium- Calvin( my favourite line in the song), accident- Harry. Also I feel like sorry for not winning you an arcade ring and in the tree line by the gold clock are about Joe Jonas and Conor Kennedy. Definitely one of her best pen games and probably one of the best songs on evermore.

[@deltab9768]

Man I didn't even think of that. I guess she one upped Carly in crafting them all into a song, without having to go for the brilliant efficiency of that one line...

[@keejs]

i think only the bridge part is about her exes. my theory is the line "a universe away" is the one that is about tom. aside from literally playing as loki from another planet, remember the original lyrics of a line in gorgeous was supposed to be "i got a boyfriend he's older than us, I haven’t seen him in a couple of months" hence him being 'a universe away'

I thought "Cardigan" was the most mature and reflective song Taylor had written and released... The memory of nostalgic times and old fashions, like the plaid shirts, the elitization of the "iphone", the acceptance of the culture of the rock (black lipstick) at the time of emos. Until I heard "Coney Island" and cried.

This song is such a great demonstration of her writing abilities. With this, she's proving to us that a song doesn't necessarily need to be 'flashy' and 'exciting' in all the conventional ways that are typically used to make music stand out - in order to be compelling. The production is nice, but it's not overpowering as it is in, I'd say, a lot of the music out there. It _forces_ the listener to pay attention to the lyrics, until they're hanging on to every word. Only when the song ends, and the full story has been told between the two characters in it, are you allowed to exhale and appreciate it for the lyrical masterpiece that it is. Not to mention the somber, withdrawn feeling state that it evokes. I can picture the character sitting in the cold, hunched over, staring out at vacant Coney Island, reminiscing on what once was. It's stunning. And, not to mention, Taylor wrote Matt's verse from what she assumed would be a male perspective. THAT'S talent.

[@starcouniverse9411]

she wrote Blank Space this way too. She wanted the lyrics to stand out than the production and it is rare for a pop song to be written that way but it still became popular because of the clever lyrics

[@upscaleavenue]

@@starcouniverse9411 I'd say that Blank Space is a pretty flashy, exciting song, compared to this one. The lyrics do stand out, but the production is also a part of why the song got so popular.

If I pushed you to the edge But you were too polite to leave me And do you miss the rogue Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? Will you forgive my soul When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care? 'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet It was the one place to be The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring Over and over Lost again with no surprises Disappointments, close your eyes And it gets colder and colder When the sun goes down Were you waiting at our old spot In the tree line by the gold clock Did I leave you hanging every single day? Were you standing in the hallway With a big cake, happy birthday Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray? A universe away And when I got into the accident The sight that flashed before me was your face But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name I'm on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go?

[@elenamartin6894]

@@Claraalicia it's because of the nostalgic feeling of the song and the fact that it is about a relationship that won't be. It's not a love song, she's just reflecting about having a crush on an extremely popular and insanley attractive person, which makes me think of Harry Styles. That's why she says "eyes so inviting, I almost jump in". It's just a crush, she does not really want to be in a relationship where loving that person feels like a gold rush, competing with everybody else for the love of this person. Dating Harry Styles during the "One Direction fever" must have felt like a gold rush, I mean, it would be a gold rush even now. Everybody wants him, he's the definition of attractiveness. I'm not a "haylor", but I think it is possible that this song is about him in my opinion. "I can't dare to dream about you anymore" and "The coastal town" that will never see them walking together because "it will never be". It reminds me of that picture of them with the seagulls in that little town in England and then Taylor wearing the t-shirt with seagulls in the cover of the 1989 album... And "my eagles t-shirt hanging from door" just reminded me of the picture of Harry wearing the eagles t-shirt... Also, "what it must be like to grow up that beautiful, with your hair falling into place like dominoes"... Harry's hair has always been famous. "You have that long hair, stripped back".
