you got the dragonflies above your bed you have a favorite spot on the swing set you have no room in your dreams for regret you have no idea the time will arrive for the cruel and mean you’ll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline but now we’ll curtail your curiosity in sweetness. what’s not clicking
JUST SAY WHEN I'D PLAY AGAIN HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND DOWN AT THE SANDLOT I FELT MORE WHEN WE PLAYED PRETEND THAN WITH ALL THE KENS cause he took me out of my box.. stole my tortured heart... left all these broken parts... told me i'm better off.. but i'm not…… i'm not, i'm not…
i still don't know where ttpd is in my album rankings (probably top half somewhere) but i DO know that this album is so fucking good and it's 2 hours long and we are so blessed to have so much taylor music
it's interesting too that you bring up mad woman and vigilante shit because they ring so hollow to me! they all feel so telly instead of showy and who's afraid to me paints such a vivid picture with the evil carnival imagery. like mad woman is just "i'm mad watch out" vigilante shit is just "i'm doing revenge watch out" and then you get "don't you worry folks we took out all her teeth" and i'm immediately at attention like "why did you need to do that what did she do??!?!" and she can levitate??! that's scary!
i feel the anger in mad woman and vigilante shit and something about them being /quieter/ songs actually feels more threatening, like a simmering anger. waolom has some good lyrics but it’s just too over the top for me to take it super seriously!
waolom immediately was a favourite for me as a Reputation girlie like it's all I Did Something Bad, Look What You Made Me Do, This Is why We Can't Have Nice Things Et Cetera glory all the way down. It's the kind of angry woman song I take on as a my personality usually. You're so brave to openly say it doesn't do anything for you.
valid, it's definitely very popular especially with the rep girlies. i just think rep did it better, or vigilante shit/mad woman. i think i need to assign a fictional character to it to like it more
yk what, I can respect your choices for least faves especially as someone who found TSMWEL too triggering and hasn’t relistened since the release. though I do wonder your reason for disliking it?
no big reason besides finding the melody boring, i think the lyrics are good. but i love the bridge, i love the way it builds!
wait that's actually insane because when i heard it my reaction was "oh this is the song lwymmd was trying to be" like the exact opposite of your feelings. this one i feel like had bite, lwymmd was all bark
omg that's wild that we think the exact opposite - idk if maybe the lwymmd music video makes me take it more seriously or if i just need to sit on waolom for a few months
