I Hate It Here x The Lakes (Live From Cardiff)

[livswift]

THIS IS MY FAVE MASHUP SHE HAS EVER DONE. The way she sings "I hate it here, So take me to the lakes"

[Breakemoff]

“I dreamed about it in the dark the night I thought that I might die” …. Her voice here💔

[starsbythepocketful.]

The way she sings "calamitous love and insurmountable grief" gave me literal chills ❤

[hawkins_c]

It was rare, I WAS THERE 🥺❤️ So happy I witnessed this in person

[rwanahmed]

I juse knew these 2 songs connected somehow😭 both are imagining a better life away from reality even the muse is not a real person🥲

[totallytwila]

OMG THIS WAS MY SHOW!! (I have such vivid memories of this and my friends and I going mental at the phrase "This is a song I've never played live before, wish me luck!")

[ttpdevermoredivision]

Cried the first time I heard this. I hate relating to those two songs but I do

[animopedlive]

Imagine Taylor arriving at your city and the first surprise song she plays is ‘I Hate it Here’ 😂

LYRICS

Quick, quick
Tell me something awful
Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Tell me all your secrets
All you'll ever be is
My eternal consolation prize
You see I was a debutant in another life but
Now I seem to be scared to go outside
If comfort is a construct
I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what

I hate it here so I will go to
secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to
The only one is mine
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small town fears
I'm there most of the year
Cause I hate it here
I hate it here

Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones

Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse

I'm lonely but I'm good
I'm bitter but I swear I'm fine
I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on
purpose
This place made me feel worthless
Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me,
and in my fantasies I rise above it
And way up there, I actually love it

A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief

Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
No, not without you

I hate it here so I will go to
Secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to
The only one is mine
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small town fears

I hate it here so I will go to
Lunar valleys in my mind
When they found a better planet
Only the gentle survived
I dreamed about it in the dark
The night I felt like I might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small town fears
I'm there most of the year
Cause I hate it here
So take me to the lakes
I hate it here
So take me to the lakes

Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, not without my muse
No, not without you
