Out of the Woods - TS
it's true meaning
-a thread-
this song is straight up about bearding and being closeted. the song is literally called Out of the Woods. i personally think haylor is a double beard. now let's get started.
"looking at it now, it all seems so simple. we were lying on the couch. i remember."
"you took a polaroid of us, then discovered."
"the rest of the world was BLACK AND WHITE, but WE were SCREAMING COLORS"
taylor literally describes the world as "black and white" aka the "straight" world. her and harry were screaming colors, the "lgbtq" world.
"and i remember thinking, are we out of the woods yet? are we out of the woods yet? are we out of the woods yet? are we out of the woods yet?"
"are we in the clear yet? are we in the clear yet? are we in the clear yet? in the clear yet, good"
"the woods" is a direct parallel to the closet. they are in the closet together. She is asking harry if he is ready to "get out of the woods". get out of that dark place, and except their sexualize. "are we in the clear yet" could link to actually coming to terms with themselves.
the chorus repeats over and over again. it's reassurance. they know their relationship is pr. which brings me to my next point.
"looking at it now, last December"
"we were built to fall apart"
direct parallel to a built up pr relationship that only lasts the winter season. built to fall apart, built for their careers.
we know this song is about harry because of the "paper airplanes" and "20 stitches in the hospital room". another thing I'd like to point out is that she sets him free. "i walked out, i said, im setting you free". she knew from the beginning their relationship wasn't real.
taylor and harry were each others beards. she needed one, he needed one. the relationship sold. in this song she is literally screaming that they were closeted together. she repeats her chorus over and over again, trying to get her message across
anyways that's my theory on ootw. haylor was pr. yes i will make this about gaylor and larry. i hope this thread helps you guys.
anyways larries and gaylors follow me 😌
