Love triangle analyse

The Love Triangle


In this album, Taylor Swift tells stories through her songs.
There are three songs which create a Love Triangle story.
She said: "One thing I did purposely on this album was put
the Easter eggs in the lyrics, more than just the videos. I
created character arcs & recurring themes that map out
who is singing about who." "For example, there's a
collection of 3 songs I refer to as The Teenage Love Triangle.
These 3 songs explore a love triangle from all 3 people's
perspectives at different times in their lives." What are these
3 songs?, you may ask. Taylor didn’t confirmed anything,
but the fans arrive to the conclusion that the 3 songs where:
“Cardigan”, “Betty” and “August”
Characters
and Songs
analyze
James:
“Betty, I won't make
assumptions
About why you switched your
homeroom but
I think it's 'cause of me”
“You heard the rumors from
Inez
You can't believe a word she
says
Most times, but this time it
was true”
"The worst thing that I ever
did
Was what I did to you”
“But if I just showed up at
your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck
myself?
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden would you trust
me
If I told you it was just a
summer thing?”
“I'm only 17, I don't
know anything
But I know I miss you”
“Plus, I saw you dance with him”
“I was walking home on broken
cobblestones
Just thinking of you when she pulled
up like
A figment of my worst intentions
She said "James, get in, let's drive"
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long”
“Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinkin' in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when
You see my face again
The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you
So I showed up at your party”

“Standing in your cardigan


Kissin' in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight”
The august girl:
“But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time”
“Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you”
“Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call”
“So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no”
“And say, "Meet me behind the mall"

"Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"

“She said "James, get in, let's drive"”I


Betty:
“Dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight”
“Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in 20 lifetimes”
“A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one”
“I knew you
Leavin' like a father
Running like water,”
“To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars But now I'm bleeding'”

“And when I felt like I was an old cardigan


Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite”
“When you are young they assume you know nothing” or “I
knew everything when I was young”

“I'm only 17, I don't know anything But I know I miss you”
“But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
You'd come back to me
And you'd come back”
“'Cause I knew you,
Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain,
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy,”
