illicit affairs

• taylor swift’in 8. albümü folklore’dan bir şarkı;
  
  make sure nobody sees you leave
  hood over your head, keep your eyes down
  tell your friends you're out for a run
  you’ll be flushed when you return
  take the road less traveled by
  tell yourself you can always stop
  what started in beautiful rooms
  ends with meetings in parking lots
  
  and that's the thing about illicit affairs
  and clandestine meetings and longing stares
  it's born from just one single glance
  but it dies and it dies and it dies
  a million little times
  
  leave the perfume on the shelf
  that you picked out just for him
  so you leave no trace behind
  like you don’t even exist
  take the words for what they are
  a dwindling, mercurial high
  a drug that only worked
  the first few hundred times
  
  and that's the thing about illicit affairs
  and clandestine meetings and stolen stares
  they show their truth one single time
  but they lie and they lie and they lie
  a million little times
  
  and you wanna scream
  don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
  look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
  you showed me colors you know i can't see with anyone else
  don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
  look at this idiotic fool that you made me
  you taught me a secret language i can't speak with anyone else
  and you know damn well
  for you, i would ruin myself
  a million little times
• folklore albümündeki en isteneni veren, en doyurucu şarkılardan biridir. çünkü pek catchy parçaların olmadığı ve zaten hitap ettiği kitle "general public" olmayan folklore'da exile, august ve illicit affairs bu anlamda sıyrılıyor gibi.
  
  taylor swift'in bir diğer "yasaklı ilişki" temalı şarkısı getaway car ile bağlantısı olduğu düşünülebilir. ama tom hiddleston ile bu şarkının sözlerindeki kadar duygu yüklü bir ilişki yaşadığını zannetmiyorum. en azından medyaya yansıyan ve getaway car'ın sözlerinde hissettiğimiz bu yöndeydi.
  
  genel itibariyle şarkıya fena düşsem de favori bölümler şu üç satır olabilir:
  
  "you showed me colors you know i can't see with anyone else."
  
  "you taught me a secret language i can't speak with anyone else."
  
  "and you know damn well; for you, i would ruin myself a million little times."
