"marjorie" is track 13 off of Taylor Swift's ninth album evermore, and is a tribute to her late grandmother Marjorie Finlay. Appropriately, "epiphany" (the 13th track on evermore's sister album, folklore), was in part about her grandfather, Dean.
Marjorie, who passed in 2003, was an opera singer and helped inspire Taylor to pursue music. In the album notes, Marjorie is credited with background vocals.
Given that evermore also has a track titled "dorothea," fan speculation suggests that this song may also allude to the story of Marjorie West, a five year-old girl who disappeared in Pennsylvania, where Swift grew up. Dorothea was the name of Marjorie West's sister, and was reportedly the last person to see her before she went missing.
Lyrics-
Never be so kind
You forget to be clever
Never be so clever
You forget to be kind
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were talking to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
Never be so polite
You forget your power
Never wield such power
You forget to be polite
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were listening to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
The autumn chill that wakes me up
You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
And I complained the whole way there
The car ride back and up the stairs
I should've asked you questions
I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
All your closets of backlogged dreams
And how you left them all to me
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were singing to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
I know better
But I still feel you all around
I know better
But you're still around
