I particularly enjoy the way she says ‘godforsaken’ in these lyrics and also will never forget how shocked I felt the first time I heard this part. to be honest this entire line but also everything afterwards made me feel like I was gasping for air the first time I heard it, which I think is a pretty good indication of how emo (!!!) it is considering I have certainly never experienced the emotions associated w having an illicit affair myself.illicit affairs: don’t call me kid, don’t call me baby, look at this godforsaken mess that you made me.I mean this entire song makes me feel like one giant open wound (haha sick reference )) but this line in particular hits different considering how dumb I feel all the time at school ❤.this is me trying: I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere, fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here.honestly james did you so dirty queen ? anyway yeah thinking you were enough for someone but being helpless to do anything to change their mind when you realized you were wrong ! And also the hope in that question alright enough.august: will you call when you’re back at school? I remember thinking I had you.something about the childish innocence about the actual problem and just knowing they want to help their friend… my heart
pretty self explanatory I guess, especially w the lyric earlier in the verse about the dad always being mad but yeah.seven: I think you should come live with me and we can be pirates, then you won’t have to cry or hide in the closet.this one hits a lil too close ! Shut up miss taylor xoxo anyway haha imagine using all ur energy to try and impress all the time and forgetting who u really are when ur around other people because u just want them to like u so bad Could Not Be Me.mirrorball: I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try.same concept as the ‘you ruined everything but I still slip up sometimes and think of you’ or at least that’s how I envision it.my tears ricochet: and I still talk to you, when I’m screaming at the sky.how are you still mad at me when we mean nothing to each other any more exile: I’m not your problem anymore, so who am I offending now?.Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to do one for every song on this album but we’re in too deep now!! this one was tough bc generally this song just makes me smile (despite all the references to people talking smack abt the woman lmao) but the thought of that lonely house is a lil sad so I guess we go with that.the last great american dynasty: fifty years is a long time, Holiday House sat quietly on that beach.Also adding the word haunt to anything makes it hurtful I think, like the concept of being haunted by something or someone is So Much kind of the same as the last one ha but like ? even though they treated you poorly, you can’t help but wonder what things would have been like if everything didn’t get all messed up between you.cardigan: I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs.
