Makna Lagu Don't Blame Me - Taylor Swift

Lagu 'Don't Blame Me' dari Taylor Swift ini vibes-nya gahar banget! dibalut dalam metafora penggunaan narkoba. Ia berargumen kalau cinta yang beneran  "nyata" adalah yang membuatnya "gila", yang membuatnya kehilangan kendali. Pacarnya, yang ia sebut sebagai "obat"-nya, adalah satu-satunya hal yang bisa membuatnya merasa hidup, meskipun efeknya menghancurkan. Obsesinya kuat banget, kayak ketagihan gitu.

Di pre-chorus, dijelasin kalau ia rela ngorbanin apa aja buat pacarnya. Ia rela "melewati batas", "buang-buang waktu", bahkan "gila beneran". Ia bahkan gak peduli kalo orang lain ngiranya udah keterlaluan. Pokoknya ia udah kehilangan kendali total!

Di verse kedua, ngegambarin kalau ia rela jadi apapun yang diinginkan pacarnya, "My name is whatever you decide." Tapi hubungan ini kayak pedang bermata dua. Ia "ngakuin" ia "gila", tapi ngehibur pacarnya dengan bilang dia "my baby". Ia berusaha nge-looping nama pacarnya di kepalanya.

Walaupun terobsesi, ia tetep berusaha keliatan baik-baik di luar. Katanya ia pake "efek halo" buat "nyembunyiin obsesinya". Tapi mungkin "efek halo" itu bukan cuma kamuflase. Mungkin ia emang berubah sedikit karena hubungan ini.

Katanya dulu itu ia kayak "poison ivy" – berbahaya, tapi sekarang ia "daisy" – bunga yang cantik dan gak berbahaya. Tapi ini mungkin cuma sementara, selama ia masih dapet "obat" yang ia butuhin.

Di pre-chorus, ia ngejelasin gimana ia rela "jatuh dari surga", dan rela keliatan jelek di mata dunia. Kalo pacarnya pergi, ia bakal minta tolong sambil berlutut biar dia tetep stay.

Di bridge, ngegambarin kalau ia tuh "high banget" sama hubungannya. Ia bilang hubungan ini adalah "trip of my life".
sebuah pengalaman yang luar biasa cuma bisa "bahaya".

Lirik Lagu Don't Blame Me - Taylor Swift

[Intro]
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

[Verse 1]
I've been breakin' hearts a long time, and
Toyin' with them older guys
Just playthings for me to use
Something happened for the first time, in
The darkest little paradise
Shakin, pacin', I just need you

[Pre-Chorus]
For you, I would cross the line
I would waste my time
I would lose my mind
They say, "She's gone too far this time"
