"the men start wars yet Troy hates Helen" beautiful

[MiaGrace]

Everyone talks about "The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen", but "I saved you a seat and you say you wanna stand" shatters me everytime

[nothinggoodstartsinagetawa]

what gives me goosebumps is that troy doesn't blame helen. troy HATES helen. troy can't blame helen because everyone knows helen is not to blame. they just "hate" helen

[Sargsoup]

I can't believe I just discovered this masterpiece of a song. "Women hearts are lethal weapons. Did you hold mine and felt threatened?"??? "She begs him, he says he doesn't Some of the best lines I've heard

[celinah.]

Love the lyrics, the story telling, love everything!!! I mean the bridge??? "I have pleaded with the powers and their plans" (love alliterations), "The men start wars, yet Troy hates Hellen" (for the greek geeks), "I save you a seat, then you say you wanna stand" (whyyy, who did this to you!!!) In pieces right over these lyrical masterpiece this is <3

[fahimashaikh]

lover : "and at every table, I'll save you a seat"
history of man : "I save you a seat and then you say that you want to stand"
I don't know why but that parallel came to mind and I can't stop thinking about it

[emivee.]

Obsessed with this entire song, the bridge to last chorus esp BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE LINES "You burnt down Easter Island, as if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me!!!" AND HOW SHE SANG IT MAN

[aasaestetich]

"So you'll lose me, the best you ever had.
It's the history, tha history of man"
Make me realize how much we need to listen and learn from our past to appreciate what we have in the present. And also the narrarive of other about their experience can help to trying to do it better, to hurts less ourselves and others.
Love this lyric❤

[selinarahaman]

"She looks like Taylor Swift in this light
We are loving it
She has got the edge she never deed
The future is bright
- Dazzling "

[nuhaa]

At the end of this album, and I can safely say Maisie is a musical genius ✨️

[sweetgirl]

This is absolutely gorgeous, one of the best songs I've heard in a while. The lyrics are just outstanding and the melody accompanies beautifully.
The whole song is heartbreaking but that last verse after the bridge... that made the tears come out in the end.

[tiaandupreez]

She gets it right in writing truth in music. She don't pretend & makes a good story with her songs.. She actually lived the stories that she sings about.
🙌🥳We appreciate her journey in life and we get a peak in every part of emotion se have felt in writing these pure art pieces in the form of music. 🔊🔊🔊🔊

[espydoo]

As a Swiftie and new Maisie stan, I love the interpolation between the lyrics "I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand" from this song and "at every table, I'll save you a seat" from Lover.

[brightonriddle]

as a new maisie fan, this is where i found her from! also i need names, addresses, families facebook pages, etc. because imo you don’t write this out of just your mind. maisie definitely went through smth to write this (she probably did, and it’s known, but i don’t really know much about her yet.) this album is gorgeous in every single way. the book girlies are grateful for this song oml

[longliveswiftie]

"men start wars yet Troy hates Helen"...
Im greek and this line is just everything... Men always used to blame women for all their wrong choices. I actually did a school theater play, we played "Helen" and i was Helen and getting to know how much she had to deal with made this line even more heartbreaking (even if it's fictional, they are a big part of society and always symbolize smt and have truth in them) made

[sooby]

I'm a person who really doesn't have goosebumps with songs (that doesn't mean I don't enjoy music I just don't get a physical reaction) and this song made me feel like flying and my arm hairs are as straight as a metal bar. AMAZING

[marcel]

I am a german men(28) ans it got me the first time listening.
That feeling with this Song, lyrics, Instruments, production ans the vibe makes it to something very special. Like taylor‘s Songs…

[athenas]

I cant explain the absolute love I have for this song, the references and the heartache is expressed and sung so beautifully

[blossomrebelo]

Tale as old as honey
A moment everybody knows
Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak
Inside the walls of Jericho
I couldn't believe it
How you could just stop wanting me
You burnt down Easter Island
As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me
I've seen it, in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history, the history of man
She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn't understand
She loves him, more than anyone ever has
In the history, the history of man
It's the history of man
You didn't even falter
Didn't look back once, did you?
So Samson blamed Delilah, but given half the chance I
I would have made him weaker too
Siren sounded, trumpets blaring
You walked out oh, without sweating
I've seen it, in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history, the history of man
She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn't understand
She loves him, more than anyone ever has
In the history (history), the history of man
He stole our youth and promised heaven
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom
You are still my great obsession
I've seen it, in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history (history), the history of man
I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb
I beg you and you don't understand
I hold on, I try to hold your hand
I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand
So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
It's the history, the history of man
