“That keeps on coming back to me, that sentiment and that idea and how strangely hard it is to be oneself. It feels like it is a lifelong pursuit to dig down and bring whatever is the true self—that mysterious thing of the true self—up to the surface, offering it and giving it because it wants to be given. There are so many opportunities to run away from it. It’s so easy to say: ‘No, not safe, not safe, not safe—I’m going to be rejected or I’m going to fail or I’m going to be disliked or someone won’t understand.’ What I’ve discovered is that if people are not understanding you or you are failing, that often tends to be a good sign.”

Taylor Swift Songs as The Hunger Games Series Pt. 2: The Archer

Finally, I’m at it again! Only took me like a year to get around to posting part 2 (lmao). Here’s the run-down for those who haven’t seen my first post: I was obsessed with The Hunger Games series as a preteen and I also love Taylor Swift, so (naturally) my brain often mixes the two together. Today, I’ve chosen to explore the song ‘The Archer’ and how it–unintentionally–relates to our main girl, Katniss Everdeen, specifically regarding her mental/emotional battle with the rebellion and her fellow victor, Peeta Mellark. So, without further Ado, here’s my unnecessarily thorough analysis :)

Lucas Sinclair + “mirrorball” by Taylor Swift

Hush, I know they said the end is near But I’m still on my tallest tiptoes Spinning in my highest heels, love Shining just for you

And they called off the circus, burned the disco down When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns I’m still on that tightrope I’m still trying everything to get you laughing at me

The devil’s in the details But you got a friend in me Would it be enough If I could never give you peace? — peace by taylor swift

A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and diction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someone’s secrets written in the sky for all to behold.
