This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. To me, the song is saying how society in the world shapes and molds people from a young age into something that they want. You can't really know if the things that you think are actually your free thoughts or if they're just thoughts reflected upon what you see in the world. By living here on earth, you're brainwashed the moment you're born so you never really have time to think or over-analyze the things that we humans do. Life sometimes seems as if it's just a long process of functioning, what is to be believed, correctly.

For the past two weeks, I've been obsessed with this song. To me it means that this girl has found someone that she truly loves and is willing to do anything for him even if that means making decisions based on what her lover wants. The name "video games" summarizes the whole song. The person that she is in love with controls her in such a way that it's like he's playing a video game. By putting on his favorite sun dress or perfume on, she's trying to appeal more to him. And "i heard that you like the bad girls, honey is that true? " is her way of asking so that she can appeal even more.

This song is truly beautiful. Almost everyone can relate to this since it differs from most of Taylor's songs about boys and relationship. It's about what growing up does to you. As you get older, you get sucked into doing things that you would have never thought of doing when you were younger. A longing for the past where you used to run into your parents' bed after a nightmare or when you had that singing recital and it seemed as if everyone believed in you that you could do it. All of these precious childhood memories fade from our minds as we start evolving into adults. What Taylor says in this song is how it's never too late to feel innocent like you did when you were a kid. You just have find your way on to the right path again and change whatever kept you from believing that you aren't innocent anymore.

I love this song and it means so much to me at this point in my life since I'm about to start my first year of high school. The lyrics means that when you're 15 and you're starting to date boys and get into the drama of high school, you have to realize that none of that stuff will matter once you go out into the world and begin college or your career. You will do greater things in life once you start to grow up. Just don't get too caught up in those high school boys or whatever it is that distracts you from achieving your important goals.
