Swift in this song examines what is like to lose someone that was never really yours from the beginning. “August slipped away into a moment in time/’Cause it was never mine”, shows how something can be lost without really every having you be a part of it. This is a song that explores Swift’s deepest corners of her mind. This song is one of the most influenced by the pandemic as her memories dissociate. It is what she is trying to get back, but never will.
