Lirik Lagu Carolina karya Taylor Swift

Harianjogja.com, JOGJA—Taylor Swift merilis lagu terbaru berjudul Carolina. Lagu ini terinspirasi dari kisah dalam novel Where the Crawdads Sing karya Delia Owens.

"Sekitar satu setengah tahun yang lalu, saya menulis lagu tentang kisah yang luar biasa. Kisah seorang gadis yang hidup di luar, melihat ke dalam. Secara kiasan dan harfiah," tulis Taylor melalui akun Instagram pribadinya, dikutip dari Fox News, Minggu (26/6/2022).

"Penjajaran kesepian dan kemandirian. Kerinduan dan keheningannya. Keingintahuan dan ketakutannya, semuanya terjerat. Kelembutan yang gigih dan pengkhianatan dunia terhadapnya. Saya menulis ini sendirian di tengah malam dan lalu Aaron Dessner dan saya dengan cermat mengerjakan lagu yang kami rasa akan otentik pada saat cerita ini terjadi," imbuhnya.

Berikut lirik lagu Carolina:

Oh, Carolina creeks running through my veins

Lost I was born, lonesome I came

Lonesome I'll always stay

Carolina knows why for years

I roam Free as these birds, light as whispers Carolina knows

And you didn't? See? Me? Here

No, they never? Did see me? Here

And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds

Don't leave

I make a fist, I make it count

And there are places I will never, ever go

And things that only Carolina will ever know

Carolina stains on the dress she left

Indelible scars, pivotal marks

Blue as the life she fled

Carolina pines, won't you cover me?

Hide me like robes, down the back road

Muddy these webs we weave

And you didn't see me here

They never did see me

And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds

Don't leave

I make a fist, I make it count

And there are places I will never, ever go

And things that only Carolina will ever know

Oh, oh, ooh

Oh, ooh

Oh, oh, oh

And you didn't see me here

They never did see me here

No, you didn't see me here

They never saw me

Oh, Carolina knows why for years they've said

That I was guilty as sin and sleep in a liar's bed

But the sleep comes fast and I'll meet no ghosts

It's between me, the sand, and the sea Carolina knows
