    I looked it up, what this song could possibly mean and I learned this song is deeply about Taylor that a lot of others could relate.
    This song is about her struggles with her vulnerability and trust in relationship. Taylor compares herself to the archer, saying she's ready to defend herself from being hurt, but this also makes it difficult for her to let people in.
    "I've been the archer, I've been the prey," is about how she has been hurt in the past, but Taylor also acknowledges that she has hurt others.
    This song is about how she is afraid of getting hurt again, but she also wants to find someone who will stay with her.
    "Who could stay?" reflects Taylor's uncertainty of finding lasting love.
    The song ends with the line "You could stay," which suggests that Taylor is finally starting to believe she is worthy of love.
    This song shows her willingness to be more open and vulnerable with her fans.

      I like to think imgonnagetyouback, The Bolter, and the Archer have the same narrator.
      All their stories 📖 flow nicely into each other.
      About a woman with Antisocial Personality Disorder, who learns to accepts herself (in The Bolter), and eventually finds someone who's personality gels with hers (The Archer) calming her down.
      She struggles to figure out how to tell him her feelings. And tell him how everyone else, except her father, has always hated her once they knew who she was.
      She wonders why this guy is not repulsed by her. Sometimes having doubts he really knows her or that he has some ulterior motive. Just because she has no explanation for him staying loving towards her.
      She does not blame people for hating her. She hates herself as well.
      She loves him dearly, finding her true love 💗. And is ready for the "combat" of having to confess her feelings on the matter.

    This song holds a special place in my heart. The day this video was released, was a very hard day for me. I left my family for the first time and went to France for my education. I was staying with a family who treated me so badly. They yelled at me all the time and looked down on me. I was missing my family, trying to focus on my studies and handling with the family that I was staying with at the same time and one day when it was all too much I just started crying in my bedroom. I felt so alone, thousands of miles away from my family and friends, but suddenly I got a notification on my phone. It was Taylor, releasing The Archer lyric video and at that moment I felt like she was there with me and she was telling me that everything was going to be okay and stop crying . Thank you Taylor, you may never read this comment but thank you for making me feel not alone. You were there for me when I needed you the most and I will always be there for you too. I love you.

    The archer is one of her most heartbreaking and beautify written songs. Not only because of the lyrics, but because of her voice, I love how she can make you feel whatever she wants trough her voice, you can feel the pain and the anxiety trough out the whole song.

    i know most people dislike this song, but it holds a very special place in my heart.
    my crush’s middle name is Archer, i love him so much. and the reason why this song is so special to me is not just cause it has his middle name in it, but this album also released around the time i met him.
    i had horrible separation anxiety, i was terrified to be away from my family. i was failing school as well, and my parents decided to put me in a class for after school. and my crush’s mom was the teacher of the class, and that’s how i met him.
    my mom had just left me there outside the building, and i was sitting outside crying on the sidewalk in the summer heat, he saw me through the window and came over and gently said “hi, are you okay?”
    and i just shook my head, still crying.
    and he just hugged me.
    the reason why this was such a big deal was because i was having an absolutely horrible year. i hit puberty, i had no friends, and i was failing school.
    and nobody ever hugged me like he did then, i felt actually cared for in that moment.
    he took my hand and led me inside, and his brother was just sitting at one of the tables.
    and we went over and sat down, and he introduced me to his brother.
    and all of us from then on became best friends.
    the only reason i have an appreciation for 2019 is because that’s when i met him.
    and honestly i’m so thankful that i was put in that class, because if not i wouldn’t have ever met him.
    i love you, jackson.

      @@mthsongs3596 Taking this line alone, I understand literally she doesn't liking her self image for some reason.
      But, when you take it with the line before "and I cut off my nose just to spite my face..." I understand it as she takes action/does things for revenge or whatever/allows things to happen to her, knowing it won't be good for her, then she dislikes the consequences, she regrets doing/allowing that to happen, but she has to live with that for a long time, cause what's done is done.
      Of course, I can be totally wrong 😅
