Heroin with an “E”. Means heroine. This guy thinks she is his hero not her drug.

Also, the last boyfriend she had did drugs (rumored to also be heroin), so I think that "this time with an -e" could reference that too.

I think the “heroin but with an E” is heroin vs heroine He saying to her that she’s not just a high for him but that she’s his hero. This is a Travis song.

I read it as Travis admitting he’s an addict too but his drug isn’t heroin- it’s her

@@JacobRestitutoher ex, her life became consumed with his Heroin addiction. The Smallest Man song, has a lot of that woven in. So her saying Travis is making a joke, like…. no more heroin the drug in her new life era…… Just a woman being the heroine. ❤🎉

This feels like You Belong With Me but on a chill and mature side

Touch down... I'm not even from the US and the first time I heard that I knew what it was referencing... As someone else pointed out. The reference here is to the NFL, not to high school. She's also saying that Kelce treats her like his heroine, as opposed to Healy who fked around with serious drugs and chose them over her. She uses high school imagery quite a lot because it is often a good metaphor for so many scenarios in life. Bullies in the industry who literally attack her as if they were still in high school. Any decent novel or poetry anthology has continuous themes, imagery, metaphors, literary devices, etc. I'm also not sure why you are suddenly surprised or annoyed that she uses a coda a few times? It's a very common musical technique. Most symphonies, concertos, etc., use them in the exact same way to highlight and drive home the central motif of the piece. And lyrically, it's a summing up of the song. If you are going to insinuate someone is being childish, just say it. It's bizarre to not directly say something you are implying anyway just to save face. I'm really, really enjoying these reactions, especially the insights from your own musical expertise. But if you claim to not be interested in all the drama, it might be worth reflecting that you very often take the guys side into perspective more often than you do hers in songs about relationships...

The high school reference isn't high achool...its the NFL. I think she's grabbing from both Matty and Travis stuff but using some of the stuff about how people think the Chiefs were down and out...ended up winning the superbowl..and funny thing today...one of the Chiefs social media pages quoted "winning streak" with a wink😂

No Matty is not part of this at all 😂

A lot of this song is a metaphor for reclaiming her youth. remember the line in so long London about giving him all her youth for free. And also previous relationships where there was a drastic age difference and between this album and midnights it feels like she’s trying to take back her youth that she feels she didn’t get to experience the way she wanted to.

The more you hear this song, the more the dreamy feel of this song becomes apparent. It has a really dream dust feel to it. Heroin with an -e for me seems like a ref to her boyfriend before him, who had a problem with heroin. I can't find anything about Travis being into drugs (weed doesn't count here). The beginning of the song gives me reincarnation/fated lovers who find each other in a new lifetime vibe. The alchemy according to Google: a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination. "finding the person who's right for you requires a very subtle alchemy"

@@penguinswithwifi Apparently you didn't get the drag of MH with the heroine line at all. It's dragging him for not choosing her, for letting his addictions win, while the new guy says she's his drug and the heroine of his story that he chooses over and over again, hence the lyric about "where's the trophy? He just comes running over to me." He'd choose her over the trophy. He even said in a press conference in October or so that he was on a high after winning the super bowl last year, but he was even more on top of the world at that time with Taylor.

@@rehlovely I agree with you. This was my first analysis, then i listened more times and realized it’s about TK 👍

Full album reaction: www.Patreon.com/JacobRestituto

ITS about Travis Kelce 😊

100%! Taylor even coded her official 'So High School' lyric music video to show TK & TS in pale pink letters while all the other letters are white! I think it was around the 40'ish second mark where the lyrics say, 'cheeks pink in the *TwinKling lighTS*' 🩷🤍🩷 And, on The Alchemy, I believe that her saying "That child’s play back in school is forgiven under my rule" might refer to Travis getting kicked off his College football team for a positive Marijuana test. (Another thing that I thought of was, Travis and Jason Kelce are also notoriously known to have BOTH been kicked out of preschool when they were young. 😂 Jason hurt a kid playing a game and Travis threw a chair at the teacher. Lol. They've talked about it on their Podcast. Jason's wife Kylie was on that day and looked horrified like, 'Good Lord... I married into this?' 😆) Just my humble opinion. 😊 There are PLENTY more references on both songs I could go into if need be.

Watching from the Philippines

There are way too many football references in this for it not to be about Travis. I think what I am getting from this album is that it’s not so much about one relationship or person, but more that it spans a time when she had many emotional highs and lows. It feels like much of it was written somewhere after her breakup with Joe and up to pretty current moments in her life. During that entire time she was touring all over, so all of it was written while she was on the road. I think her relationship with Travis started a while before we all knew it was even a thing. They seemed to have managed to have it be relatively private up until the time Taylor started showing up at his games dressed in KC colors. I know she flew from Tokyo to be at the Super Bowl and there was a chance she might not make it. This song seems to be one she finished close to the album’s completion because its lyrics reference the Super Bowl trophy which wasn’t won until February.
