JAKARTA, POSKOTA.CO.ID – Banyak penggemar penyanyi pop dunia Taylor Swift yang memutar lagu "August".
Bagian awal liriknya, "Salt Air," menjadi trending karena banyaknya orang yang mendengarkan lagu ini.
Taylor Swift pernah menjelaskan makna lagu ini dalam dokumenternya, Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.
Taylor mengungkapkan bahwa lagu tersebut adalah bagian dari trilogi bersama lagu lainnya, "Cardigan" dan "Betty".
Ketiga lagu ini, "August", "Cardigan", dan "Betty", bercerita tentang kisah cinta segitiga fiktif di sekolah menengah, dengan masing-masing lagu menceritakan sudut pandang dari tokoh yang berbeda dalam cerita tersebut.
Lagu "August" menggambarkan perspektif seorang gadis yang diciptakan oleh Taylor bernama Augustine, yang menjadi orang ketiga dalam hubungan tersebut.
Taylor menjelaskan bahwa "Cardigan" adalah sudut pandang Betty dari 20 hingga 30 tahun kemudian, mengenang kembali cintanya yang penuh gejolak. Dalam cerita ini, Betty dan James akhirnya bersama.
Lagu "August" menggambarkan kisah Augustine, gadis yang bersama James selama musim panas.
Augustine tampak seperti gadis nakal, tetapi sebenarnya adalah seseorang yang sensitif dan benar-benar jatuh cinta pada James, meskipun berusaha untuk terlihat tenang dan tidak peduli.
Berikut Lirik Lagu dari August- Taylor Swift
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (for the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
