The song, 'August' lyrics portray a fleeting summer romance.
Swift herself claimed that "the sun-drenched month of August, sipped away like a bottle of wine," served as inspiration.
Like the summer romances, it is associated with, the month of scorching nights and vacationing vanishes all too swiftly.
"Salt air and the rust on your door / I never wanted anything more," begins the opening line of August.
When the line initially debuted two years ago, Reddit members engaged in a forum discussion about its significance. It is perceived as a symbol of unfulfilled lust.

Another person summarizes, "The door is already rusted because his connection with Betty is already fragile and prone to breaking. August brings in the salt air, which furthers the collapse of the other pair.
