TAYLOR SWIFT

- The Lucky One Lyrics

New to town with a made up name in the angel city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream.
You had it figured out since you were in school.
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool.
So overnight you look like a sixties’ queen.

Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
But can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one.

Now it’s big black cars, and Riviera views,
And your lover in the foyer doesn’t even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page.

And they tell you that you’re lucky.
But you’re so confused,
Cause you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used.
And all the young things line up to take your place.

Another name goes up in lights. You wonder if you’ll make it out alive.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

It was a few years later, I showed up here.
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared,
How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out.
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere,
Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square,
And it took some time, but I understand it now.

‘Cause now my name is up in lights, but I think you got it right,

Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh.

What is the meaning behind The Lucky One lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Taylor Swift's 'The Lucky One' music piece narrates a narrative of a person attaining the stardom and success but eventually realizing the emptiness and superficiality that come along with it. The lyrics delve into the dichotomy between the public view of fortune and the private struggles and sacrifices done to keep that appearance, bringing forth the cost of fame and the need to be honest with oneself amid the glitter and delusions of being a star. The lucky one lyrics generally depict contemplation, angst, despair, social commentary, and heartbreak. Conversely, the song emphasizes the whole luck issue and its accompanying hardships, disillusionment, and identity and self-worth. Fame, confusion, and the pressures of public life are among the most prominent themes in the lyrics which certainly are not for very small kids. Nonetheless, these themes do not come with any harsh language, violence, or sexual content, therefore, it is fine for older kids to listen to it under the supervision of their parents.

Yeah, it's about Joni Mitchell (google her, I did as well). It's a fact. You can look it up if you want to. I love this song, it's like a complete package, you know. Its message, its melody...its just perfect. Miss songs like this on the album.

I think this is about becoming famous and then realising its not all about everything you have and the money

I think this song is talking about Lana Del Rey. It talks about having a made up name (which Lana has) and it mentions Lana's well-known sixties fashion sense. There's also several allusions to Lana's songs like 'Lucky Ones', 'Without You', and 'Off to the Races'.
