#the wound wont close i keep on waiting for a sign

[burytheminflorida]

i hadnt listened to wouldve couldve shouldve in sooo long until today so that mashup really just tore me limb from limb

[summerhighlandfalls]

Tom and Shiv both sobbing crying to these lyrics on the floor post divorce

[vampiredraws]

oh god i haven't listened to wouldve couldve shouldve in so long i forgot how much this song hurts

[gimmethegoddamncoffee]

"Would've, could've, should've" fits Jason Todd so well that everytime i listen to this shit, its like i heard the voice of a 15y old Jason screaming GIVE ME BACK MY CHILDHOOD IT WAS MINE FIRST!!! and i cry every fucking time

And of course ik Bruce loves him, but damn "god rest my soul, i miss who i used to be, this wound wont close, i keep up waiting for a sign, i regret you all the time" its like a punch in the face

Its like Jason's telling that he regret being Robin, and can you imagine what Bruce would feel if Jason ever tell him that? Shit, that would be a fucking nightmare for both of them AND FOR US

"I would've stayed on my knees, and I damn sure never would've danced with the devil, at nineteen, and the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven" TELL ME IS NOT LIKE HIM!!! I DARE YOU!!!

"And now that im grown, im scared of ghosts, memories feel like weapons, and now that i know, i wish you'd left me wondering" we need to talk about it? Because i will talk about he feeling like every fucking thing he does is wrong and will never make Bruce proud of him and how he truly thought he was replaceable

I wont even start about hoax and Damian, or Dick and mirrorball, or even Tim, conner's death and marjorie

Please, tell me im not the only one thinking about this

Same anon from earlier, the parts that remind me of Karlie, "I damn sure would have never danced with the devil at 19." Since she got with Jerk at 19, that line stuck out to me instantly. I truly think if Karlie knew what was in store when she first signed that contract with Jerk she would have never done it. These lines also caught my attention, "God rest my soul, I miss who I use to be." //"The wound wont close, I keep on waiting for a sign, I regret you all the time." I saw this as Karlie's anger of wishing she never bearded with Josh, the wound not being able to close because of Levi (as in because of Levi's birth he will always have a part of her/her story). Potentially waiting for the sign that it would be finally over or if it was the right time to leave. The bridge, "If clarity's in death, then why wont this die." // "Years of tearing down our banners, you and I." She's probably been trying to get rid of Jerk for years, the fact it seems like the "relationship" wont die. Idk I feel like Im rambling but thats only one interpretation Ive had of the song and it changes constantly. For Taylor, I agree the religious imagery is all over this and honestly.....at times it almost sounds like she regrets having a relationship with a girl because now she feels guilty for sinning?? "If you never touched me, I would have stayed with the righteous" // "You're a crisis of my faith, would've, could've, should've if I only played it safe." // "All I use to do with pray, would've, could've, should've if you never looked my way." // "I would have stayed on my knees, and I damn sure would have never danced with the devil." // "God rest my soul, I miss who I use to be" // "Stain glass windows in my mind." There's just soooo much relgious guilt all over this song, almost like she's repenting.....

Sorry for the super long ask I just have lots and lots of thoughts about this song. Also I agree that it also sounds like someone took advantage if her at some point which is awful :(

It definitely could be about both. Don’t apologize for a long ask it’s great! I want to discuss them.
