Taylor Swift: 'Tis The Damn Season Meaning
Song Released: 2020
'Tis The Damn Season Lyrics
While I was gone I would have asked you
It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
But I felt it when I passed you
There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me
But if it's all the same...
-
I think the whole song's meaning is the main character (A) comes back to her hometown after years in the city and reminisces on her high school crush (or someone from the past who used to live in the same area, let's call them B).
"It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass, but I felt it when I passed you" even when their relationship has ended a long time ago, they still have a cold relationship. I can assume there's tension between them both.
"So we could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you in my hometown"
In these lines, their relationship begins to end. A gives a code to B that she will be staying at her parents' house meaning that if B wants to meet A, B knows where B should find A.
"I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
And thе school that used to be ours
The holidays linger like bad perfume
You can run, but only so far
I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave
But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me"
Though A couldn't erase all the bad memories B has done to her but A has forgiven B and is ready to make a new start. -
This song is about coming back to your hometown and trying to hold on to the memories while oretending everything is the same, when it isnt.
