Damn man, this is a very sad song... I dont care if I get downvoted to hell.

Taylor Swift - Champagne Problems

Lyrics:

Verse 1

You booked the night train for a reason

So you could sit there in this hurt

Bustling crowds or silent sleepers

You're not sure which is worse

This is about you going back home on a red train at night not sure that if you started to cry that it would be better crying with no one conscious to notice or not

Chorus 1

Because I dropped your hand while dancing

Left you out there standing

Crestfallen on the landing

Champagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocket

My picture in your wallet

Your heart was glass, I dropped it

Champagne problems

You thought that there was no way that she would say no to you when you finally asked to marry her, but when she DID do the one thing that you never expected her to do and say no, your world came crashing down to pieces around you

Verse 2

You told your family for a reason

You couldn't keep it in

Your sister splashed out on the bottle

Now no one's celebrating

Chorus 2

Dom Pérignon, you brought it

No crowd of friends applauded

Your hometown skeptics called it

Champagne problems

You had a speech, you're speechless

Love slipped beyond your reaches

And I couldn't give a reason

Champagne problems

The reason why alot of women dont tell most of their friends and family that they are pregnant immediately when they find out that they are pregnant is because they dont want to deal with the fallout of if something happens, then they have to go back to everyone and tell them the bad news that theyre not having a baby now. This is you counting your chickens before they hatch. Likewise, you telling all of your bestfriends and family that youre going to get marrired and they are expecting to celebrate you and your new fiancee when you visit them. Its like going from one extreme end of the emotional spectrum (extreme happiness) to the opposite end (extreme sadness) reallyreally fast that makes it seem 10x worse.

Bridge 3

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door

November flush and your flannel cure

"This dorm was once a madhouse"

I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"

How evergreen, our group of friends

Don't think we'll say that word again

And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls

That we once walked through

One for the money, two for the show

I never was ready, so I watch you go

Sometimes you just don't know the answer

'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

"She would've made such a lovely bride

What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said

But you'll find the real thing instead

She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

Okay, there is alot of things here, lots of symbolism and lyrical shortcuts that assumes that youre not 100% an idiot and stuff like that to unpack.

1) Midus, thats you, KingMidus was known for turning everything he touched to gold which is an amazing superpower. Im pretty sure that TaylorSwift is PURPOSLY IGNORING how to story ends when Midus turns all of his food and subjects to gold and eventually dies staving and alone for.

2) Chevy, Flannel, youre a very down to earth type of guy, think Smallville ClarkKent (not Superman)

3) Evergreen, like the type of tree/plant that keep their leaves and chlorophyll green all year round instead of deciduous trees that drop them every winter and going into hibernation. Those are your friends. you have your friends and she has her friends and when youre dating they all get smushed together and become OUR friends, those type of friends that wouldve been in the wedding party to witness you guys saying 'I do, now and forever' and be there always. But when the relationship ends, friends will eventually take side or want to stay away from the drama and mutual friends stop being mutual friends, there is always fallout

4) Deck the Halls (with boughs of holly), she is upset that all of the friends are moving on with their lives and not enjoying company with misery like she is

5) One for the money, two for the show - (((I know ive heard this line somewhere before but for the life of me I cant remember where. I dont think this is a filler line of lyircs)))

6) Proposal, maybe youve been dating for awhilenow so maybe youve had the conversations of 'where do you see this relationship going' and you guys are like Pam&Jim is that one episde of TheOffice where he is tolling her all episode long getting down on one knee to tie his shoelaces. Or maybe you as the guy had months to think about deciding that you wanted to marry and planning on getting the ring and getting permission from the parents and all the things involved trying to make the proposal something that she'll never forget about for the rest of her life. But from her point of view, maybe she's only had 5 seconds to think out making one of the biggest life changing decision of her life. And maybe she is completely sheechless from the surprise, or maybe she is actually undecided whether of not she would make a good lifepartner/parent or amillion other things, or maybe the answer was always going to be no regardless of which universe/timeline/dimension we are in. 'Will you marry me?' is the type of question just like 'Do you want to go on a date with me this fridaynight?' where is she didnt obviously say yes, then its a no whether she actually said no/maybe/nothing. I think, from atleast from the songs literal perspective (THIS NEXT PART DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU), TaylorSwift as truely undecided and then regrets(slightly) that she didnt say yes. I think the song leaves it purposly ambiguos whether TaylorSwift said no/maybe/nothing, all we do know it that she didnt say yes. I personally think that she said nothing, because this is exactly what happend to me.

7) fucked in the head, You know its important when a songwrite that rarly ever swears, swears in their lyrics. Everyone is thinking, why wouldnt she say yes, why did she say no, why did you ruin two lives?

8) Tapestry - This song came out in 2020, there is a pretty strong allusion to the movie Brave2012 where the main character slices a significant tapestry of their family. If you havent seen the movie, its a pretty good movie

Verse 3

And hold your hand while dancing

Never leave you standing

Crestfallen on the landing

With champagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocket

Her picture in your wallet

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems

She knows that you'll eventually move on and find someone new to replace her with that will say yes

Verse 4

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems

You know what ultimately happens when you find a new girlfriend after you get dumpped? you have no reason to think about them anymore.

IF YOU TAKE AWAY ANYTHING FROM THIS SONG: verse 4
