To live for the hope of it all meaning Reddit

Taylor is the queen of putting into words feelings you can't even comprehend. What's one that completely blew your mind? One I come back to really often is "You make me so happy it turns back to sad" or "I knew you'd haunt all of my what-if's".

by double meaning i mean, the way she says it doesn’t specify where a comma is, IF theres a comma at all, if there’s a pause between words that we can’t fully hear, that kind of thing.

i’ve got two:

style:

  • ‘he says what you heard is true but i, can’t stop thinking ‘bout you and i, i said i’ve been there too a few times’ OR is it

  • ‘he says what you heard is true but i, can’t stop thinking ‘bout you, and i- i said i’ve been there too a few times”

cruel summer:

  • ‘and i screamed “for whatever it’s worth, i love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?”’ OR

  • ‘and i screamed for whatever it’s worth, “i love you ain’t that the worst thing you’ve ever heard?”’ OR

  • ‘and i screamed “for whatever it’s worth, i love you” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?’

what are your favorites :)

Ok, I love Taylor but some songs just confuse the hell out of me. I feel so dumb lol.

willow: what is happening? it seems like she’ll just follow the dude wherever and whatever he does. like she’s so smitten but she follow him wherever. “the more you say the less i know.” what does that mean? like the more he talks the less she’s sure of what’s gonna happen next? but she’s cool with it cause it’s her man right?

also every bait and switch was a work of art? i really really really don’t get it.

also, that’s when? what’s happening? like you can come back when you think of me? UGH.

what’s your song or line you don’t get? and if you get it, please help people like me? haha thank you!!

My personal pick is this line from champagne problems.

I never was ready so I watched you go.

Putting it in the context of the song makes it so painful because from the preceeding lyrics, you know that she did not mean to hurt him. It was not by choice that she had to let him go because of her personal issues and her inability to commit to him for a lifetime. For me, this particular line creates such a heartbreaking imagery of her just passively watching him slip from her grasp. The word choice is relatively straightforward, but the way it is phrased is so clever as it really conveys her inability to love him the way that he deserves although she wanted to.

To live for the hope of it all meaning Reddit

I want a taytoo of lyrics that are kind of a life lesson or quote. One lyric I like is "To live for the hope of it all" which to me is just so poetic and touching. What are some other similar lyrics which can pass off as a life quote, if you know what I mean?

And for somewhere not easily seen…. (For me personally)

I love that first line from Invisible String!

Not a lyric, but a line from one of her rep poems:

“May your heart remain breakable, but never by the same hand twice”

God that one stuck with me.

Yes!! This line really resonated with me too, as someone who’s working towards building healthier boundaries in my life :)

It’s not a lyric technically but, “No amount of friends at 25 will fill the empty seats at the lunch tables of your past” gets me every time I read it.

I personally don’t like this quote because it’s not true!

Today is never too late to be brand new.

The bridge to “Innocent” is one that I’ve been working on living up to for years now (hence, flair):

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Everyone of us has messed up too

Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never too late to be brand new
