I love t swift and I love byler

What Taylor songs do u think represent byler?

did you read my mind i was just about to make a post talking about this thank you for giving me an excuse to do it.

DOROTHEA!!!!!!!! NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS ONE WHEN THEY BRING UP TAYLOR BYLER SONGS BUT ITS THE PERFECT ONE!!!!! its literally about losing touch with a childhood best friend after they move like come ON!! its the epitome of best friends to lovers. it sounds like its to will from mikes perspective.

the song opens with, “hey dorothea do you ever stop and think about me? when we were younger down in the park honey making a lark of the misery”

“making a lark of the misery”: shes talking about making light of the trauma they endured in order to cope. this could be applied to them continuing to play dnd even after facing the monsters in real life.

“you got shiny friends since you left town, a tiny screen’s the only place i see you now and i got nothing but well wishes for ya”

el’s lies in her letters probably made him think that will also made a bunch of new friends. “a tiny screen’s the only place i see you now”. shes referring to social media posts on phones in this line but since its the 80s this could be applied to mike looking at old photos of them or maybe even will’s old drawings that he still has up in his basement.

“this place is the same as it ever was but you wont like it that way”

i think this line is saying that objectively their town is the same and has the same people but it just doesnt feel the same since she left. this sounds like what mike said to will. “max, lucas and dustin, theyre great. its just hawkins, its not the same without you”.

“its never too late to come back to my side, the stars in your eyes shined brighter in tupelo”

this lyric can be applied to how will isnt as happy in california as he was in hawkins with mike and mike is telling him that he missed him too.

“hey dororthea do you ever stop and think about me when it was calmer”

“when it was calmer” could apply to them missing times in their childhood before will went missing and before they knew anything about the upside down.

“are you still the same soul i met under the bleachers well i guess i’ll never know”

this lyric is about losing touch with each other and not knowing if they’ll be the same after. “i feel like i lost you… but i think it’ll be easier if we’re a team”.

this song is wlw and makes present day references but other than that its WEIRDLY accurate to s4 byler. i bet there will be even more to connect it to after volume 2. i love this song so much.

hi! are there any songs you associate with byler?

ooo good question. ive seen people talk about what taylor swift songs are byler themed and no ones talking about dorothea!!!!!! that song is so beautiful and underrated but also it reminds me so much of them. other than the lyrics being more wlw it totally sounds like its about will from mikes perspective after he moved. lyrics like “you got shiny friends since you left town, a tiny screens the only place i see you now”. that sounds like mike thinking about will joining another party but then when he realizes hes so unhappy there the lyric “its never too late to come back to my side the stars in your eyes shined brighter in Hawkins Tupelo” fits so well too. if you havent listened to this song i highly recommend it. out of all taylor songs i definitely think this is the most byler. here are some more of the lyrics
