Hello and welcome to this weird crevasse of the internet where we get really excited about music (particularly Taylor Swift) and break down our favourite albums and songs. Our names are Bonny and Emily, and our aim with these videos is to share our love for music and also share context and understanding around the songs, by highlighting breaking down the lyrics, melodies and production. We are so happy to have created this little community that is just as unhinged as us when it comes to music

Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was fathoming earlier today that the opposite of war is peace and Iâm so unwell at that implication. đż

also, âthe monsters turned out to be just treesâ in out of the woods connects back to this theme of realizing you create problems in your relationshipsâŠ.as an anxiety girl all these songs are a personal attack

i also want to add that the very first line of the great war says âmy knuckles were bruised like violetsâ and in afterglow she literally sings, âfighting with a true love is boxing with no glovesâ THE PARALLELS!!!! i love both songs â„ïž

as a history nerd I highly appreciate Emilyâs explanation of the WW1 references in this and in peace! this truly is Taylor swift university

When they talked about the âdiesel is desireâŠ.â line and said that she was saying that she is a risk all I could hear was, âI was a flight risk, with the fear of fallingââŠ.like she has been singing about this feeling for a long timeâ€

Also with the history metaphor, âThe Great Warâ was supposed to be the worst one the world had ever seenâŠ.until one came along later that was even worse. Kind of like how their relationship made it through tough times until something came along that was too much for them to get through đ

In my head âthereâs no morning glory. It was war it wasnât fairâ meant that in the end of the war there are no winners. Just people really hurt. So the morning glory after the battle wouldnât be real because everybody was hurt from this.

THANK YOU BONNY for working so hard to fix the editing problem and get this video up. 1 HOUR LETS GOOO

Her fear of abandonment - "Who could ever leave me darling? But who could stay?" Not only because of no one wanting to play with her as a kid but also all of her romantic relationships that didn't work out (not a criticism, just something that probably is triggering for her). I so relate to this!

Truly do believe this might be her best metaphor song ever â the fact that the war metaphor remains within the lyrics the entire song is so beyond concerning I donât understand how she does it. Itâs literally brain-breaking

I find it fascinating how Taylor uses The Great War to explain her triggers and alludes to PTSD which in itself wasn't identified as a medical event until after the First World War as so many soldiers suffered from it after the trauma of the war. Great video, girls!

âI drew curtains closedâ reminds me of the foreword for Lover, where she says ââŠfinally finding a friend, and opening the curtains to see the clearest, brightest daylight after the darkest night.â đ„ș

Also "tears on the letter" reminds me of when the soldiers in the Great War would write letters to their families and vice versa, in order to communicate during such a hard time. The "tears" here represent the sadness that Taylor felt, a sort of confession to the other person in the song / a way to tell him what is happening in her mind.

The way I interpret âmy hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great Warâ as like theyâre on the same side fighting the war in the trenches and her âanti-heroâ or the âherâ referenced is the one theyâre at war with, theyâre actually on the same side the whole time

This is my favorite song of the full album, I instantly fell in love
69 |
and also the lyric in peace: âitâs like iâm waisting your honorâ, really ties in perfectly with âlooked up at me with honor and truthâ

Violets, poppy, crimson clover & morning glory...I love all the flower references, I think it's beautiful. This is also my stan song, I love it so so so muchâ€

I always interpreted "somewhere in the haze" linking to "flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur" As in somewhere in the thick of the battle, it's all hazy and confusing and that's why it's just a sense of betrayal - there's nothing to really base the sense on because it's all such a blur

All of these songs; Peace, Afterglow, the Archer, and The Great War are all of my favorite songs and then I realized that they all connect to one of my fave OG songs...MIne. Like... "I was a flight risk with a fear of falling"!?!? and I know that Mine has a more optimistic ending but some of the lyrics are about being afraid her partner is going to leave !! And the music video w/ the fight where she thinks it's all over but he comforts her and tells her it's going to be okay!! I'm freaking out all of my favorite songs make so much sense now b/c of yall!! I can't believe that she has had this fear appear in a Speak Now song !!! đTHE FATHOMING UGH love yall and this community !!
