What the artist means
On my tears ricochet off Folklore via a haunting beat Taylor starts quite softly. She is a master at painting pictures that leave listener's heads spinning and she has further enhanced that reputation on this album thus far. On this track she lets the beat build and talks about how her tears ricochet. She speaks from the perspective of hunter as she chases after an ex-lover that buried her while wearing the jewels she gave him. She's so mature on this track and by the time the beat drops she has morphed into an artful crooner of a hyper emotional power ballad. She says she didn't have it in herself to go in grace and she chooses to go after her ex-lover with a vengeance. I think this is metaphorical but you cannot be so sure with Taylor Swift.
What the song means to me
The song is as haunting as anything in her wide catalogue of top tier breakup anthems and power ballads. It has a perfect beat that lets her glide into the ex-lover’s room and take revenge for all the sordid times shared between the two of them. The song is mature, introspective, heady and proper. It reminds me that there's nothing this woman can't do and it makes me want to reevaluate my toxic tendencies. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
