"Maroon" by Taylor Swift is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and loss. The lyrics depict an intimate relationship marked by shared moments, laughter, and deep connection. However, this relationship eventually dissolves into confusion and heartbreak, symbolized by the recurring motif of the color maroon - a deep, rich shade of red often associated with intense emotions. The repeated references to wine and blood rushing into cheeks suggest passion but also embarrassment or regret. The rust between telephones signifies communication breakdown and distance growing in their relationship. The phrase "a real fucking legacy to leave" indicates a sense of bitterness about how the relationship ended. Overall, Swift uses vivid imagery and metaphor to convey the emotional journey from initial infatuation to eventual disillusionment in a romantic relationship.
Maroon
Lyrics
When the morning came we were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf
'Cause we lost track of time again
Laughing with my feet in your lap
Like you were my closest friend
"How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" You say
"Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how"
I see you every day now
And I chose you
The one I was dancin' with
In New York, no shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was
The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was
The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon
When the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy
How the hell did we lose sight of us again?
Sobbin' with your head in your hands
Ain't that the way shit always ends?
You were standin' hollow-eyed in the hallway
Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us
I feel you no matter what
The rubies that I gave up
And I lost you
The one I was dancin' with
In New York, no shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was maroon
The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was (maroon)
The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was (maroon)
And I wake with your memory over me
That's a real fucking legacy, legacy (it was maroon)
And I wake with your memory over me
That's a real fucking legacy to leave
The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet (it was maroon)
The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home, so scarlet (it was maroon)
It was maroon
It was maroon
