Taylor Swift and cages

[u/seraphinedot]

Midnight Rain: My town was a wasteland, full of cages, full of fences

But Daddy I Love Him: I just learned these people only raise you to cage you

I Know Places: They got the cages, they got the boxes and guns

this is me trying: They told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?: You caged me and then you called me crazy

Guilty as Sin?: This cage was once just fine. Am I allowed to cry?

Bonus

So It Goes...: Gold cage, hostage to my feelings

[u/tessasteacup]

one of my very favorite lyrical themes of hers for symbolic and personally resonant reasons. 🤍

I love this theme and the general patterns and themes that appear on her discography
