Whether you just broke up or it's been over a decade since your heart was broken into pieces, Taylor Swift's new album, "folklore" has it all. You don't even have to be a hardcore Swiftie to fall in love with this mature Indie, alternative album.
The album is filled with a variety of songs touching upon different aspects of love — the good, the bad, and the ugly — so, it's the perfect album to listen to when you want to go back in time.
Taylor Swift is all grown up and as she confidently reminisces on past lovers and romantic imagery not tied to her life, so can we. Since the album is filled to the brim with third-person narratives and fantasies, it was easy to lose track of time and remember my own former lovers who are permanently stuck in my memory.
Here are 26 lyrics that will spark up some memories:
1. "What do you sing on your drive home?/ Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?/ Does she smile?/ Or does she mouth, 'Fuck you forever'?" - "mad woman"
2. "Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe/ All the hell you gave me? / 'Cause I loved you, I swear / I loved you 'til my dying day " - "my tears ricochet "
3. "I guess you never know, never know / And if you wanted me, you really should've showed / And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow/ And it's alright now" - "the 1"
4. "Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in" - "hoax"
