My hardcore, til-death, mouth-foaming Swiftie sister will hear Taylor Swift from whatever device Iām using from Jupiter or whatnot and will hunt me down.
"Why do you have to put down my dreams, so you're the only thing on my mind?"
I have reason to believe that 'Tell Me Why' is one of the most powerful songs Taylor Swift has written.
What makes this song great is its versatility; the lyrics can be applied to any situation wherein an abusive power dynamic between two parties is involved. TS described it as being about a tug of war in which "someone always kind of has the upper hand." With that in mind, the perspectives are endless. Depending on whom you talk to, this song could be about gender, racial, or wealth inequality, classism, even.
This versatility is what helps a song maintain its relevance. It's what makes some songs timeless. Music that isn't shackled to specific eras or circumstances has the capacity to be appreciated longer, and by wider audiences, because it doesn't shut people out. This is the music that can live on forever and ever. To me, that's power.
It is this style of songwriting that TS has mastered - that delicate balance between confession and ambiguity in her lyrics that gives you a sense of something she might have experienced, but also isn't so personal as to exclude the possibility of that experience being echoed by millions of other people.
This is Taylor's unique talent, and 'Tell Me Why' exemplifies it perfectly.
