Wonderland
Taylor Swift琀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fell down the rabbit hole
You held on tight to me
'Cause nothing's as it seems
Spinning out of control
Didn't they tell us don't rush into things
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds
I felt your arms twisting around me
I should've slept with one eye opened at night
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever, eh
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better, eh
In wonderland, eh
In wonderland, eh
In wonderland, eh
In wonderland
So we went on our way
Too in love to think straight
All alone or so it seemed
But there were strangers watching
And whispers turned to talking
And talking turned to screams
Didn't they tell us don't rush into things
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
Didn't you call my fears with the treacherous cat's smile
Ooh didn't it all seem new and exciting
I felt your arms twisting around me
It's all fun and games, still somebody loses their mind
Oh darling, we found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever, eh
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better, eh
In wonderland, eh
In wonderland, eh
In wonderland, eh
(In won-) In wonderland
I reach for you
But you were gone
I knew I had to go back home
You searched the world for something else
To make you feel like what we had
And in the end in wonderland we both went mad
Oh, we found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever, eh (Last forever)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it (Got lost in it)
And life was never worse but never better, eh (Never better)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it (Wonderland)
And we pretended it could last forever, eh (In wonderland)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it (Wonderland)
And life was never worse but never better
In wonderland
The song "Wonderland" by Taylor Swift is a metaphorical reference to the fairytale of Alice in Wonderland. The lyrics begin with the singer, Taylor and her lover, who take a wrong turn; and soon find themselves falling down a metaphorical rabbit hole. They hold onto each other, and Taylor describes everything as spinning out of control, and nothing is what it seems. The lovers are reminded to take things slow and not to rush into anything, but their curiosity drives them further. Taylor highlights "green eyes" because of their connection and the fact that these eyes have a mysterious and intense stare.
The couples find themselves in a place they call "Wonderland." The couple is lost in this newfound love, and they pretend that it could last forever. There are whispers and stares from outsiders, and they eventually ruin everything. The couple goes mad and ends up losing each other. The song is a representation of Taylor and her lover trying to keep a grip on their dashed dreams and lost love. They both had something but lost it all while trying to hold onto the moment. We could interpret the song as a reminder to take things slow in life and cherish the love we have instead of dreaming about something that cannot last eternally.
Line by Line Meaning
Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we
We were blinded by excitement and made a mistake
Fell down the rabbit hole
We entered a strange world that we were unprepared for
You held on tight to me
You were my anchor in this new place
'Cause nothing's as it seems
Everything is different and unexpected
Spinning out of control
We were losing our grip on reality
Didn't they tell us don't rush into things
We ignored the warnings of others
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
You tempted me with your beauty
Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds
Curiosity can lead to trouble
Ooh didn't it all seem new and exciting
We were caught up in the thrill of the moment
I felt your arms twisting around me
You were holding me close
I should've slept with one eye opened at night
I should have been more cautious
We found wonderland
We discovered a magical world
You and I got lost in it
We became absorbed in this new place
And we pretended it could last forever, eh
We believed our love could overcome anything
Life was never worse but never better, eh
We experienced both joy and pain
So we went on our way
We continued our journey
Too in love to think straight
We were blinded by our love for each other
All alone or so it seemed
We thought we were alone in this new world
But there were strangers watching
Others were observing our actions
And whispers turned to talking
People started gossiping about us
And talking turned to screams
Arguments ensued and chaos erupted
Didn't you call my fears with the treacherous cat's smile
You tried to manipulate me with your charm
It's all fun and games, still somebody loses their mind
Our actions had serious consequences
Oh darling, we found wonderland
Despite the chaos, we still found beauty in this new place
I reach for you
I tried to hold onto our love
But you were gone
You had moved on
I knew I had to go back home
I had to return to reality
You searched the world for something else
You were looking for a new adventure
And in the end in wonderland we both went mad
Our experiences in this new place drove us to madness
And we pretended it could last forever, eh (Last forever)
We still clung to the hope that our love could conquer all
And life was never worse but never better, eh (Never better)
We experienced both happiness and pain
We found wonderland
We discovered a new, magical world
And we pretended it could last forever, eh (In wonderland)
We still believed our love was strong enough to withstand anything
And life was never worse but never better
We went through both good times and bad
In wonderland
We experienced a strange and beautiful world
