Discover the story of the song > Treacherous – Taylor Swift

The protagonist is attracted to someone who is danger and unpredictability personified, but she also acknowledges the warning signs (such as feeling like she's sinking in quicksand) and is aware that nothing about him is safe. Despite this, she likes the thrill and feels drawn to follow him wherever he goes, even if it means facing risks and leaving safety behind. The chorus repeats that the slope/path/hope (depending on the stanza) is treacherous, but the protagonist still likes it.
