This is the fourth track on the album "1989" by Taylor Swift. The music video of this song was uploaded on Youtube on December 31, 2015 (you can check this out on the below). The video starts with the caption "She lost him." Next, Swift is first seen on the beach barefoot and only wearing a blue dress. She runs through what appears to be enchanted woods that formed around her, chased by a pack of wolves who tear at her blue dress as she struggles to escape as some wooden roots constantly follow her. Then she finds herself in different locations representing the four basic elements of nature throughout the video like the snowy mountains, an ocean, a barren landscape, a muddy location, and a burning forest. At the end of the video, the "woods" she was crawling through disappear as she finds a beach, where another version of her is waiting by the shore as she reaches for her. The video ends with the caption "She lost him, but she found herself, and somehow that was everything." (Wikipedia).

Overall, I think this song tells of a story or event that is often experienced when in a dating relationship. Lyrically, this song tells of fears of the events that will impinge a romantic relationship. A lot of speculation about this song, it was said that the song was created by Swift for ex-boyfriend, Harry Styles. Perhaps because it is seen from the lyrics of the song and the music video of this song. But I do not want to speculate too, I will discuss only based on the lyrics and my personal perception. From the first verse of this song, we can see how a sense of comfort that there is at the beginning of their relationship. It is a sign of how the situation of their relationship in the beginning of their meeting. Looking at it now. It all seems so simple. We were lying on your couch. I remember. You took a Polaroid of us, then discovered. The rest of the world was black and white. But we were in screaming color, and I remember thinking. In this part we can see a flashback story when their meetings and what is done by them at some point in the past. We could see one of the proofs of their romance in the past through this one sentence, the rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color. This gives us an understanding of the strength of the love they felt in the past. Furthermore, one sentence in the chorus of this song, are we out of the woods yet? It is evidence of fear and anxiety experienced by them during their relationships. We could see the anxiety of themselves each other. They like being in a forest, and they go astray. They were scared and did not find the way out of the woods.

We like to remember the wonderful story we have ever experienced in the past, especially if the story is a love story. We will be lulled by the sweet memories of the past. We will be carried away as it did in the past. The song became one of the proofs that happens in the life of a loving relationship, perhaps it is indeed just a song, but the song was created with the involvement of moods and emotional of the song's composer, not a few of the songs composed by a musician is a real incident that happened in their lives. Therefore, I want to try to apply the events that happened on this song as events that actually happen in the real world. We definitely miss the nostalgic memory that has made an impression on our memories, however our way to eliminate it from our memory, that memory will not be lost. We will remember how the situation in the past, either the weather conditions, air temperature, wind conditions, and other things that happened at that time. I think this is a natural thing that is felt by a human being. If we had split up with someone at the moment and we are longing for the past when we relate, let the memories to recall, but we also have to understand the reason we parted with the person and imagine that the memories it has ended and I had to keep running.

"Out of the Woods" is a synthpop song. It is written in the key of C Major with Swift's vocals spanning two octaves, between G3 and E5 and runs three minutes and fifty-five seconds. From the musical instruments, the song was interesting to listen to. This song brings soul which wanted to grab by the tune that comes from the beginning of the song. This song is packed with music and good lyrics. Many mysterious things contained in this song. We will be lulled by the lyrics were a bit to make us miss the past. This song is recommended for people who have split up with a lover. This song suited listen to while we were relaxing or feeling bored. Ok, for more details, just see the lyrics and watch the music video of this song on the below, check it out guys ;)


The Lyrics of Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift

Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered (then discovered)
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking…

[Chorus 2x:]
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?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet?
Good

Are we out of the woods?

Looking at it now
Last December (last December)
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together (back together)
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided (we decided)
To move the furniture so we could dance,
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinkin'

[Chorus 2x]

(Are we out of the woods?!)

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
When you started cryin', baby, I did, too
But when the sun came up, I was lookin' at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out and said, "I'm settin' you free,"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
And when the sun came up, you were lookin' at me
You were lookin' at me
You were lookin' at me,
I remember, oh, I remember

[Chorus 4x]
