A tryst is an intimate encounter... A private, romantic rendezvous.

It's funny you said that you love 1975 while reacting to Guilty As Sin 😉 There's A LOT of songs for Matty Healy on this Album, THIS ONE as well 😅

@@jensen6929 I think people who actually care about that stuff are crazy, but I think that knowing a lot of these songs are about matty healy (specifically but daddy i love him, the title track, and but the smallest man who ever lived) actually enhance the song in my opinion and add some context. Like but daddy i love him actually makes very little sense without knowing about the fan reaction to their relationship last summer, and the title track (the tortured poets department) purposefully sounding like a the 1975 song. Besides just being able to notice that stuff in the music, it doesn’t really matter though

A 10 year "wish he would" situationship seems to have inspired a LOT of her music going all the way back to Lover. It's wild how I'm hearing the older tracks differently knowing what we know now.

This is such genius songwriting. It's both about Joe and Matty. > First line, drowning in Blue Nile - alludes to drowning in the sea because of her relationship with Joe, then Matty helping her by sending her a song > Hearing the song she starts daydreaming about an encounter with Matty and how she thirsts over him > However, she wonders if her thirsting over him is just one-sided (What if he just wrote mine on her upper thigh - what if that's just her imagination) > If so she falls back to the hedge maze with Joe, where she is trapped (what a way to die) > Bridge is her wondering if she should just escape Joe (where she feels trapped in a cave, she should be resurrected by rolling the stone away) > But then the public expects "propriety" from her by staying with Joe, and yet she pines for Matty

Idc who her songs are or aren’t about, I love the music for what it is❤

somwtimes it's better too immagine what you want while listening

There is a particular reason for the build up musically and groaning of guitar, pay particular attention to lyrics ( labored breath, sheets are on fire (ablaze) and she's calling his name ) There is a build up within her (; its a very sensual song

Funny part with Downtown Lights is that it is off the Album Hats released in 1989. The cover art for Hats has the black silhouette of a man’s head in a hat very similar to the background people in the Fortnight video typewriter scene.

"Tryst" typically refers to a secret meeting, especially between lovers. It often carries a connotation of romantic or clandestine rendezvous, suggesting a meeting that is planned in advance and kept private from others. 🤣

The phrase "long-suffering propriety" suggests enduring or patient adherence to social conventions or expectations. In the context of the lyric, it seems to convey the idea of maintaining a certain demeanor or behavior expected by others despite inner turmoil or conflict caused by the haunting presence of someone else. The speaker may be expressing a desire to break free from these expectations and choose their own path, embracing their connection with the person who has haunted them, even if it defies societal norms.

To add to this, I also think in this context that it's referring to her being expected to stay single and sad in a "mourning period" for her long-term relationship, almost like a death. What we've seen through Taylor's music, however, is that she was mourning in the process of the slow deterioration of her relationship with Joe, so she felt she'd spent enough time hiding and sad.

this is my fave song in the album.. very speak now/red coded

Not just modern but mature version of Love Story-showing up and saying I was right. “Time gives some great perspective.”

For the people who choose to stay informed.

The VERY first listen of this song I was like… TAYLOR…. YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR JILLING OFF GIRL!!!!

This and The Black Dog are the best songs on TTPD.

My #1 fav from TTPD.😊 Cant stop listening to it, actually. I love ur take (reaction) to this song.👌🏼

Love your reactions! I firmly believe that TTPD is influenced by her either preparing to re-record her debut album or the time she's spent looking at the songs that didn't make it into that first album which she's going to add as vault songs. The mix of 80s synths, Folklore-esque folk influences, and the country roots feels sooooo good. Honestly, a bunch of these songs feel like they could have been on Speak Now!

Loved the reaction! One of my favorite songs from the album

i freaking love you reactions to this album's songs

I am looking forward to your videos now. Right now I’m into this album but when we are done with this I’m going to check ouit more. Thanks for all you do. I

I love this song so much!! another very enjoyable video to watch!!!

I get goosebumps everytime with the bridge amazing amazing song, love your reactions, saludos desde Mexico

I think this song is about having "passionate" fantasies/daydreams about someone. My bedsheets are ablaze...screamed his name Building up like waves, crashing over my grave (the big O has been described as a "little death") Without ever touching his skin It's very thirsty but tastefully and artfully written, as expected from Taylor. This became a favorite of mine early on. 😝

TS is 1 of the greatest songwriters in my lifetime. ❤her. Enjoyed your breakdown of the song. It’s 1 of my favs.

That’s what I was thinking! A debut, fearless feel to it!

Tryst-love rendezvous.

8m SOOOOOOOOO I'm love with this song! I've had it in repeat every morning! It's what I wake up too and get ready too this week lol! I wasn't a true fan before..I've been fighting it. But I guess I'm a Swifty now 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really love this song! Outside of who its about, I have never heard this type of song from her. She is so open and raw in this song and album. Yes "Downtown Lights" reference gets the whole fanbase going crazy🤣

Oh favorite... love 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best song from the album for me though i haven't heard the rest 😂

Thanks for the explanation, i think listen this song with another pov

this song is my favorite of the album, i don't give a fuck about the relationship stuff but thank you to Matty for inspiring this song

Tryst is a secret meeting. The one thing I wish had pointed out is that it’s a song about dirty thoughts. Taylor can say so poetically things someone like, say, The Weekend, says very explicitly!!

I keep waiting for the slide guitar country style on this song

I was so excited to hear real instruments on this album!

Listening to your commentary and to this track for the hundredth time, the melody is giving me "You Belong with Me" call backs. What do you think?

This song does remind me of The 1975.
