So It Goes…

## Cronología en *reputation*

"**So It Goes...**" (en es la octava canción del sexto álbum de Taylor Swift, *reputation* (2017).

## Información detallada

La frase "así va" (so it goes) se origina en la novela Slaughterhouse-Five de Kurt Vonnegult, escrita en 1969. La frase es repetida en la novela cada vez que una muerte ocurre, con un uso narrativo para transicionar entre sujetos; esto es simbólico en el álbum *reputation* en su conjunto, tal y como ella menciona "la antigua Taylor está muerta". Este álbum es una transición a la nueva Taylor - así va.
El uso de la frase también podría significar "así es la vida; la vida sigue". Incluso cuando "se viene un poco abajo" (break down a little), su pareja y ella están aún seguros en su relación y siguen intentando mantenerse juntos:
La línea también es usada en la canción "Style", del álbum *1989*, con la letra:
"So it goes, he can't keep his wild eyes on the road" (así va, no puede mantener sus ojos salvajes en la carretera)".
Y en la canción "You Are In Love", de ese mismo álbum:
"So it goes, you two are dancing in a snow globe, round and round" (así va, ambos bailáis sobre una bola de nieve, dando vueltas y vueltas).

## Letra

**[Verse 1]**

See you in the dark

All eyes on you, my magician

All eyes on us

You make everyone disappear, and

Cut me into pieces

Gold cage, hostage to my feelings

Back against the wall

Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone

**[Pre-Chorus]**

'Cause we break down a little

But when you get me alone, it's so simple

'Cause baby, I know what you know

We can feel it

**[Chorus]**

And all the pieces fall

Right into place

Getting caught up in a moment

Lipstick on your face

So it goes…

I'm yours to keep

And I'm yours to lose

You know I'm not a bad girl, but I

Do bad things with you

So it goes…

**[Verse 2]**

Met you in a bar

All eyes on me, your illusionist

All eyes on us

I make all your gray days clear

And wear you like a necklace

I'm so chill, but you make me jealous

But I got your heart

Skippin', skip-skippin' when I'm gone

**[Pre-Chorus]**

'Cause we break down a little

But when I get you alone, it's so simple

'Cause baby, I know what you know

We can feel it

**[Chorus]**

And all the pieces fall

Right into place

Getting caught up in a moment

Lipstick on your face

So it goes…

I'm yours to keep

And I'm yours to lose

You know I'm not a bad girl, but I

So bad things with you

So it goes…

**[Refrain]**

Come here, dressed in black now

So, so, so it goes

Scratches down your back now

So, so, so it goes

**[Bridge]**

You did a number on me

But, honestly, baby, who's counting?

I did a number on you

But, honestly, baby, who's counting?

You did a number on me

But, honestly, baby, who's counting?

Who's counting?

(1, 2, 3)

**[Chorus]**

And all the pieces fall (Pieces fall)

Right into place

Getting caught up in a moment (Caught up, caught up)

Lipstick on your face

So it goes…

I'm yours to keep (Oh)

And I'm yours to lose (Baby)

You know I'm not a bad girl, but I

I do bad things with you

So it goes…

**[Refrain]**

Come here, dressed in black now

So, so, so it goes

Scratches down your back now

So, so, so it goes

Come here, dressed in black now

So, so, so it goes

Scratches down your back now

So, so, so it goes
