1. Lirik lagu "Paper Rings" - Taylor Swift
The moon is high
Like your friends were the night that we first met
Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
Now I've read all of the books beside your bed
The wine is cold
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe
Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night
(Oh) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life
(One, two, one, two, three, four)
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool
When you jumped in first, I went in too
I'm with you even if it makes me blue
Which takes me back
To the color that we painted your brother's wall
Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws
We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so
Kiss you once 'cause I know you had a long night
(Oh) Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
Three times 'cause you waited your whole life
(One, two, one two three four)
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
Uh huh
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
You're the one I want
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh
Darling, you're the one I want
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, in all dreams
You're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, and all my dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
You're the one I want, one I want
You're the one I want, one I want
2. Makna lagu "Paper Rings" - Taylor Swift
"Paper Rings" menjadi salah satu lagu cinta paling ceria yang dimiliki Taylor Swift. Ketika mendengarnya, perasaan sukacita, gembira, dan sedikit komedi akan kentara. Makna lagu "Paper Rings" pun sangat menarik, lho.
Melalui lagu "Paper Rings", Swift menyatakan jika merayakan cinta tidak harus menggunakan hal-hal besar atau mewah. "Cincin kertas" pun Swift jadikan metafora untuk kesederhanaan dalam hubungan. Itu merupakan simbol untuk menghargai sebuah hubungan di atas status, harta, atau penampilan.
Swift menggunakan "cincin kertas" guna menyatakan "Aku gak butuh cincin emas atau berlian yang besar, aku cuma mau menghabiskan hidupku denganmu!". Meski terdengar klise, tetapi begitulah kondisi seseorang saat jatuh cinta. Semua terasa gak masuk akal, bukan?
3. Taylor Swift menulis "Paper Rings" untuk Joe Alwyn?
Taylor Swift tidak pernah secara eksplisit mengungkapkan inspirasinya dalam menulis lagu "Paper Rings". Namun, Swifties, fans berat Swift, dan kritikus percaya jika lagu ini dibuat untuk Joe Alwyn yang saat itu masih menjadi kekasih Swift.
Swift dan Alwyn diketahui berpacaran sejak 2016. Album Lover dirilis pada 2019, di tengah fase hubungan mereka yang manis, bahagia, dan berkomitmen. Lantas, bagaimana lagu "Paper Rings" bisa soal Alwyn?
Seperti yang publik tahu, Swift dan Alwyn kerap menyembunyikan hubungan mereka. Menolak sorotan dan tetap lowkey selallu jadi pilihan mereka. Sama seperti "Paper Rings", Swift rela diberikan "cincin kertas" alih-alih berlian, karena yang penting selalu bersama Alwyn.
Taylor Swift dan Joe Alwyn memang sudah putus sejak 2023. Kini, Swift tengah hidup bahagia bersama sang tunangan, Travis Kelce, sehingga "Paper Ring" kini mungkin lebih relate dengan hubungan Swift bersama Kelce.
