[Bridge]
And I sound like an infant
Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
A greater woman stays cool
But I howl like a wolf at the moon
And I look unstable
Gathered with a coven ‘round a sorceress’ table
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they’re made to wait
I’m so afraid I sealed my fate
No sign of soulmates
I’m just a paperweight in shades of greige
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me
It’ll be okay
[Chorus]
Please
I’ve been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don’t want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?
Who do I have to speak to
The change the prophecy?

[Outro]
Hand on the throttle
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Oh, but it’s gone again
Pad around when I get home
I guess a lesser woman would’ve lost hope
A greater woman wouldn’t beg
But I looked to the sky and said (Please)
2. Makna lagu ‘The Prophecy’
Melalui lirik yang kuat, tergambar bagaimana Taylor Swift mengungkapkan kerinduannya akan hubungan yang berkelanjutan hingga ke jenjang pernikahan.
Swift bahkan meluapkan perasaannya dengan berlutut dan memohon untuk diberikan keberuntungan menemukan soulmate-nya.
Namun, dalam keputusasaan tersebut, ia juga mengekspresikan harapannya untuk menemukan seseorang yang benar-benar menghargai kehadirannya tanpa memandang materi.
