“Time, mystical time / Cuttin’ me open, then healin’ me fine / Were there clues I didn’t see?”
“Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons / One single thread of gold tied me to you.”
“And isn’t it just so pretty to think / All along there was some / Invisible string /
Tying you to me?”
Depressing Taylor: “epiphany” (folklore) or “Ronan” (Red)
Okay, Epiphany is about an army doctor seeing unimaginable casualties of war.
“Keep your helmet, keep your life, son / Just a flesh wound, here’s your rifle.”
“But you dream of some epiphany / Just one single glimpse of relief / To make some sense of what you’ve seen.”
But Ronan is based on a poem sent to Taylor by a mom who had lost her little boy at just four years old.
“Come on, baby, with me / We’re gonna fly away from here / You were my best four years.”
Okay, “Ronan” wins because I’m tearing up just writing this.
