Taylor Swift’s new album, Reputation , is here and basically every song is gold. I think we can all agree on that. The meaning of “Dancing With Our Hands Tied” has so many fans kicking their detective skills into high gear, but what have they discovered? Let's check out the lyrics first.
The song opens with the line "I, I loved you in secret." Then the song continues,
Fans on Twitter seem to be obsessed with the line "Deep blue, but you painted me golden." The next part of the song reads,
Already getting chills from this. The next part reads:
It's clearly an emotional song filled with a lot of meaning.
Fans were particularly intrigued by where “Dancing With Our Hands Tied” fell on the Reputation tracklist:
So, it’s sandwiched between “King Of My Heart” and “Dress,” two songs all about boyfriend Joe Alwyn (with “Dress” being so sexy that Swift's mom had to leave the room when it played at the Secret Sessions!).
So what does “Dancing With Our Hands Tied” mean? You can bet there are a few theories. Check out this fan's tweet for one of the better ideas about the meaning behind the lyrics: “I think this is the 'tragically beautiful' song on reputation. Yes more than even CIWYW. I think we're gonna see Taylor explain the sadness behind just wanting to live her life but not being able to because of everyone who is always coming for her.”
Being a celebrity is truly a double-edged sword, and Swift has often found that her every action is under the microscope. Could “Dancing With Our Hands Tied” have anything to do with that feeling of not being able to live her true life because everyone’s watching?
One fan who attended Secret Sessions noted that “Dancing With Our Hands Tied” was Swift’s dad's favorite song. Hmm.
Another Secret Sessions attendee explained:
One lucky Secret Sessions fan would only share this small bit of info:
Other fans explained how it’s all about Swift and her relationship with Alwyn, with one person noting: “Dancing With Our Hands Tied: I think this is what would’ve happen if Taylor and Joe went public.” OK, this idea makes sense.
The couple has kept their relationship remarkably out of sight, considering that Swift is such a huge star. Is this song all about the hard part of being famous?

"Dancing With Our Hands Tied" lyrics

I, I loved you in secret
First sight, yeah, we love without reason
Oh, 25 years old
Oh, how were you to know and

My, my love had been frozen
Deep blue, but you painted me golden
Oh, and you held me close
Oh, how was I to know what

I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets
Picture of your face in an invisible locket
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it
I had a bad feeling
And darling, you had turned my bed into a sacred oasis
People started talking, putting us through our paces
I knew there was no one in the world who could take it
I had a bad feeling

But we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
Like it was the first time, first time
Yeah, we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
And I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing

I, I loved you in spite of
Deep fears that the world would divide us
So, baby, can we dance
Oh, through an avalanche?
And say, say that we got it
I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted
Oh, 'cause it's gravity
Oh, keeping you with me

I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets
Picture of your face in an invisible locket
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it
I had a bad feeling

But we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
Like it was the first time, first time
Yeah, we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
(Ooh, we had our hands tied)
And I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing

I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Swaying as the room burned down
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
If I could dance with you again
I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Swaying as the room burned down
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
If I could dance with you again (Again)

Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Oh, yeah, we were dancing
Like it was the first time, first time (First time, first time)
Yeah, we were dancing (Oh)
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
(Dancing with our hands tied)
Yeah, we were dancing (Ooh)
And I had a bad feeling (Had a bad feeling)
But we were dancing

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Hands tied, hands tied (Dancing)

This song's inspiration came after Taylor Swift returned to Los Angeles after spending several months out of the public eye in the UK where she was with his boyfriend. LA met her with lots of paparazzi asking questions. A fan on Tumblr explained after attending the "Reputation" Secret Sessions, "She described being really overwhelmed by the experience but that her thought process was less about herself and more about how she could possibly have a normal relationship when this was her life."

The first line of these lyrics, "I loved you in secret", is written on the wall in the music video for her song "…Ready For It?".

Demi Lovato - "Cool For The Summer" Tell me what you want
What you like
It's okay
I'm a little curious, too
Tell me if it's wrong
If it's right
I don't care
I can keep a secret, can you?

Got my mind on your body and your body on my...
Kacey Musgraves - "Space Cowboy" You look out the window
While I look at you
Sayin' I don't know
Would be like saying that the sky ain't blue
And boots weren't made for sitting by the door
Since you don't wanna stay anymore

You can...
5 Seconds Of Summer - "Ghost Of You" Here I am waking up, still can't sleep on your side
There's your coffee cup, the lipstick stain fades with time
If I could dream long enough, you'd tell me I'd be just fine
I'll be just fine

So I...
ZAYN - "There You Are" Only you know me
The way you know me
Only you forgive me
When I'm sorry

Need you when I'm broken
When I'm fixed
Need you when I'm well
And when I'm sick
Friends that I rely on
Don't come through...
Conan Gray - "Maniac" (Maniac)

You were with your friends, partyin'
When the alcohol kicked in
Said you wanted me dead so
You show up at my home all alone
With a shovel and a rose
Do you think I'm a joke? 'Cause

But we were dancing
Hands tied, hands tied
