Grid.ID - Taylor Swift merilis album baru bertajuk THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.
Salah satu lagu baru Taylor Swift dalam album ini berjudul 'The Alchemy'.
Melansir Genius.com pada Minggu (21/4/2024), lagu baru ini menggunakan metafora 'Alchemy' sebagai sosok yang meracik emas menjadi benda bernilai.
Taylor Swift menggunakan Alchemy sebagai perumpamaan seseorang yang mengira telah menemukan orang yang bernilai.
Namun pada kenyataannya, sosok yang dianggap berharga dan bernilai itu hanya sosok bodoh dan tak ada artinya.
Berikut ini lirik lengkap 'The Alchemy':
[Verse 1]This happens once every few lifetimesThese chemicals hit me like white wineWhat if I told you I'm back?The hospital was a dragWorst sleep that I ever hadI circled you on a mapI haven't come around in so longBut I'm coming back so strong
[Chorus]So when I touch downCall the amateurs and cut 'em from the teamDitch the clowns, get the crownBaby, I'm the one to beat'Cause the sign on your heartSaid it's still reserved for meHonestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy?
[Verse 2]Hey, you, what if I told you we'rе cool?That child's play back in schoolIs forgiven under my ruleI haven't come around in so longBut I'm making a comeback to where I belong
[Chorus]So when I touch downCall the amateurs and cut 'em from the teamDitch the clowns, get the crownBaby, I'm the one to beat'Cause the sign on your heartSaid it's still reserved for meHonestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?These blokes warm the benchesWe've been on a winning streakHe jokes that it's heroin, but this time with an "E"'Cause the sign on your heartSaid it's still reserved for meHonestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
