Dorothea Lyrics

Cover art for Dorothea lyrics by Taylor Swift

What the artist means The strings are intimate on this tune, she calls out the Lady, and questions if she ever stops to think about her. They went through so much as children, but time and space have truly separated them, till Taylor took a trip back to their old hunting ground. She's still offering her a helping hand, if she needs a little push, she could contact her at any time. She shared so much growing up with Dorothea, so it truly hurts her that she's going through such a hard time. Even though they had a few petty squabbles in the past, there's still room for forgiveness and moving forward. Though it seems that Dorothea isn't in the mood for coming back to Taylor's side, it's still refreshing that she was quite willing to help.

What the song means to me This song revisits one of her earlier friendships, before all the famous boyfriends, before all the awards, and before the fame. Even though it's clear that she and Dorothea ended up on bad terms, that doesn't stop Taylor from offering the olive branch. The track is incredibly nostalgic, the production is incredibly innocent, and her voice makes it clear that the track was tailored perfectly for her. It is an intimate ballad from one of the most superb voices that you could find anywhere. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
