Imagery #2

There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There’s a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless

So baby drive slow
‘Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger’s seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture every memory

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I’d dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless

Well you stood there with me in the doorway
my hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in & I’m a little more brave
It’s the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin’, it’s fearless.

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I’d dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless

Analysis:
The song “Fearless” by Taylor Swift uses imagery to create a feeling of love for another person. When she says, “my hands shake, I'm not usually this way, but you pull me in & I’m a little more brave. It’s the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin’, it’s fearless” she is describing what is happening to her when she has her first kiss. The image of her standing there shaking helps the listener to understand just how this moment feels when it takes place. It is enhanced through the use of imagery appealing to these senses.
Another way that this song appeals to the senses is when she says, “But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair, absent mindedly makin' me want you.” She is using the imagery for the senses of touch and sight when she is talking about how he acts when they are together. When he puts his hand through his hair, she is more attracted to her and you can picture a guy putting his hand through his luscious locks of hair. These are ways that imagery is used throughout “Fearless”.
