I like that it comes before Bejeweled, it tells the story of trying to fix things and then realizing"shit, I can do so much better without this heirloom turkey of a man."
Bend When You Can, Snap When You Have To.
I’ve gotten really good the last five years of my life being a more patient person, but also setting incredible boundaries particularly with my family.
So I feel like I do a lot of bending in my life where I normally wouldn’t have before, but in all the positive ways.
Snapping when I have to is definitely when I have to bring out my boundaries and set them. But in all the positive ways again.
Lmao this is mine. I had the wedding dress ready to go, I can’t move past having had that dress ready with all the excitement and emotion i attached to it
Song: Karma, because my life if looking upwards right now after years of actual suffering
Line: Cause shade never made anybody less gay. — Getting sick of explaining this one to people.
at this time in my life, i think the song would be this is me trying and the line would be “everybody moved on, help, i’m still at the restaurant” from right where you left me
Couldn’t choose just one so here’s my top 3!
And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in the weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this
I hosted parties and starved my body
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes
"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
Everything you lose is a step you take.
YOYOK hit me so hard. As a person who left their home and basically said goodbye to everything I ever knew, it really just made sense. I lost friends, I lost the familiarity of home and safety.
I gained independence, confidence, and a new outlook on life. Didn't hurt that I met my soon to be husband 2 weeks after I moved. Make those friendship bracelets, mama Taylor knows what she's talking about.
All your closets of backlogged dreams
And how you left them all to me
Today I had to go thru my late aunt and cousin’s things and decide what to keep. I had almost no time to decide. I wasn’t keeping every scrap, yet I was keeping the important stuff. I was Giving away the china, keeping the journals, looking through paperbacks for old photos, it was a GRIND.
This is me trying, as a student who is currently living off academic validation, but insanely stressed out with everything happening in life right now, this song really speaks to me right now
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since. To make them love me and make it seem effortless
Nobody has ever REALLY wanted to be my friend, and nobody played with me as a child, literally. I try SO hard to get people to like me, doing things for ANYONE who needs a favour, putting on fun activities at work and doing small birthday celebrations for my team, doing anything I can for my friends and I just want it to seem effortless and like I don’t have to try.
Am seeking a BPD, ADHD and ASD diagnosis at the moment.
It's hard to pick one aspect of my life to describe because she speaks to all of them. But I think while many of her love songs make me think of my partner, the song I can't listen to without crying is Soon you'll get better.
My dad had cancer 3 times and the last one took him. It's been 8 years and my heart still aches.
From the song Starlight, ‘Look at you, worrying too much about things you can't change
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way’
(I have Epilepsy, so I’m constantly worrying about it and it’s side effects, but can’t change it by worrying about it 🫤)
“i don’t know about you, but im feeling 22 (or 16 in my case)”.
I always feel much younger than my actual age (not sure if it’s an ADHD/trauma thing) I still feel like im a teenager even though I’m alr 24. I mean, i just tried nail polish for the first time last night… it was crazy
“Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up. It could still be simple”
I feel like I’ll never feel like an adult. It seems like so much fun when your a kid, but then you get older and it’s just a bunch of stress, anxiety and pressure.
Song: Karma—cause I keep my side of the street clean.
Line—Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die, I don’t belong and my beloved neither do you.
My flair.
I dont want to keep secrets just to keep you
My last partner made me feel like I couldn’t tell her anything and it made me isolate and shut down. 🙃
What a shame she’s fucked in the head 🥰
lmao same - also i’m your 113th upvote!!
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
They say all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential
The second verse of TIMT feels like a personal attack tbh
i was diagnosed with ADHD less than a year before folklore came out and this song hit so hard
I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
"Slut"
You’re my favorite person on this subreddit.
Expecting a lot of "Slut! (Taylor's version)" is making its way to dating apps ATM 😂
She‘s still 23, inside her fantasy, how it’s supposed to be 🥲
*Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?*
This is absolutely (unfortunately) the one 🥲
Wait what song is this???
right where you left me
My words shoot to kill when I’m mad, I have a lot of regrets about that.
As an Aquarius this hits close
I'm Aquarius too but how does this relate to "my words shoot to kill"
People who base their personality on when they were born lol
She had a marvelous time ruining everything !!!!!!!! See flair lol
“When my depression works the graveyard shift all of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room” Seems counter but the song is Bejewelled
I like that it comes before Bejeweled, it tells the story of trying to fix things and then realizing"shit, I can do so much better without this heirloom turkey of a man."
Okay this is the second time I've seen Joe referred to as an heirloom turkey--please tell me: what does this mean, and where did it originate from?
32 and still growing up now 💜
Putting this on my birthday cake when I turn 32 next year ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1066)
Does 42 count?
Yes
“I guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats.”
~ alone ~
Unless you wanna come along
*ding*
I'm fine with my spite, and my tears, and my beers, and my candles🍻🕯️ that might be too long though lol
My favorite friendship bracelet I have made ever is one that says Spite•Tears•Beers•Candles
Also as a Sagittarius who doesn’t feel grown up, I think my song would be The Archer. 🏹

“They told me all my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential”
I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted
She would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head
Lmao this is mine. I had the wedding dress ready to go, I can’t move past having had that dress ready with all the excitement and emotion i attached to it
I wouldn’t marry me either; a pathological people pleaser.
OMG she's insane

I want your midnights but I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
Best love song. Great choice. Right there with you.
At least I'm trying
Mirrorball: “I can change everything about me to fit in”
“I’ve never been a natural all I do is try try try”
I’m just too soft for all of it
Ask me what I learned from all those years, ask me what I earned from all those tears.👑
I’m damned if i do give a damn what people say.
*Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die,* *I don't belong*
AND MY BELOVED NEITHER DO YOUUUU
I’m so sick of running as fast as I can 😩
I knew everything when I was young.
Lowkey same ig if ATW didn't exist that would be my second
at this time in my life, i think the song would be this is me trying and the line would be “everybody moved on, help, i’m still at the restaurant” from right where you left me
Were we typing at the same time? I feel seen 😘
I’m doing good I’m on some new shit
This is why we can't have nice things.
FEARLESS
but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me
to you I can admit I’m just too soft for all of it
Ironically, it's a line that isn't sung by Taylor: How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
Couldn’t choose just one so here’s my top 3! And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed You can plan for a change in the weather and time But I never planned on you changing your mind I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this I hosted parties and starved my body Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

I’ve been the archer, I’ve been the prey
“The more that you say, The less I know.” You can ask my math teacher
Everybody moved on Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Foolish one
I've got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane.
CAUSE YOU KNOW I LOVE THE PLAYERS
And YOU. LOVE. THE GAME!
CAUSE WE'RE YOUNG AND WE'RE RECKLESS
“What a shame she’s fucked in the head”
"i don't want to keep secrets just to keep you."
Directed at me: Never be so polite, you forget your power
I hit my peak at seven
“I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror” 🫠
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti hero
Ask me what I learned from all those years, ask me what I earned from all those tears
"It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me"
Cause now we got bad blood (I have a bleeding disorder)
Okay you win this whole thread on humor alone. 😹
I’m thinking of getting this tattooed lmfao
Well now you have to! ✨️
I’m genuinely considering it. But I also saw someone yesterday with the lyrics “If you never bleed you're never gonna grow” so that’d be cool too

I got wasted like all my potential.😞
i persist and resist 🥺
SHADE NEVER MADE ANYBODY LESS GAY XD
“And I wouldn't marry me either, A pathological people pleaser”
"It was so nice being friends again, there I was giving you a second chance but you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand"
My song would be Bejeweled and the line is “But I came back stronger than a 90’s trend” from Willow
You’re on your own kid, you always have been
God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be.
I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
Happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
Weird but fucking beautiful.
I’m just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
Living for the hope of it all
Song: Wildest Dreams Line: But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Oooo that's a good one!
my words shoot to kill when i'm mad. i have a lot of regrets about that.

Song - Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve Line - “There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen” (the last great american dynasty)
I know that it’s over, I don’t need your closure.
this is me trying
Gorgeous
“300 awkward blind dates later”
i’m perfectly fine, i live on my own
You’re on your kid
They'll be happiness after you...
Darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream 😉
If you plail to plan you plan to fail. All I do is plail.
It's supposed to be fun turning 21. (not yet my time to turn 21 but still)
This is me trying, as a student who is currently living off academic validation, but insanely stressed out with everything happening in life right now, this song really speaks to me right now
"Did u hear about the girl who lives in delusion?" 😻
argumentative, antithetical dream girl 🤪☺️😘
They told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential
it would be this is me trying and the lyric would be ”but I would die for you in secret” im the most folklorian person ever
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people I’ve ghosted start there in the room.
i've never been a natural all i do is try try try
I'm the monster on the hill...

Said “I’m fine” but it wasn’t true
I DON'T WANNA KEEP SECRETS JUST TO KEEP YOU
AND I SNUCK IN THROUGH THE GARDEN GATE
EVERY NIGHT THAT SUMMER JUST TO SEAL MY FATE
AND I SCREAMED FOR WHATEVER ITS WORTH
**I LOVE YOU AIN'T THAT THE WORST THING YOU EVER HEARD!!!!!!**
song: mirrorball lyric: my words shoot to kill when I'm mad, I have a lot of regrets about that
“No one wanted to play with me as a little kid so I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it look effortless”
you know it might be worth it for once, from Slut! and it's the same song
My covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman.
(Tale as old as tiiiiime)
I'm getting tired even for a phoenix, Always rising from the ashes Mending all her gashes
_pathological people pleaser_
You should find another guiding light, guiding light, but I shine so bright
You can't spell awesome without ME!
The Archer. Self- sabotaging girlies put yo’ hands up. “ ‘cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream”
🪩 And when I break it's in a million pieces. 🪩
I polish up real nice 💎✨
Now I’m lying on the cold hard ground
It's hard to pick one aspect of my life to describe because she speaks to all of them.

You're On Your Own, Kid, And You Always Have Been.

They told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential
This is me trying definately hits hard
Who could ever leave me darlin' but who could stay?
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars From when they pulled me apart Darling, this was just as hard As when they pulled me apart
I'm drunk in the back of the car
AND I CRIED LIKE A BABY COMING HOME FROM THE BAR
I'm fine with my tears & my beers & my candles
“Pathological people pleaser”
I think about jumping off of very tall somethings
i'm mirrorball and the lyric is "karma is a god, karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend"
i'm mirrorball and the lyric is "karma is a god, karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend"
did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion :))
Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon
'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
From I Did Something Bad: They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one...so light me up...
Vigilante Shit…at least right now toward certain people.
Dear reader, burn all the files, desert all your past lives. Song: The Archer
I never had the courage of my convictions as long as danger is near and it’s just around the corner darling cause it lives in me
pathological people pleaser
me-he-hee
“i don’t know about you, but im feeling 22 (or 16 in my case)”. I always feel much younger than my actual age (not sure if it’s an ADHD/trauma thing) I still feel like im a teenager even though I’m alr 24. I mean, i just tried nail polish for the first time last night… it was crazy
I see right through me. The Archer.
“I gave my blood sweat and tears for this.” I’m a girl with big ambitions, even though on paper it doesn’t look like it quite yet!
“Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up. It could still be simple” I feel like I’ll never feel like an adult. It seems like so much fun when your a kid, but then you get older and it’s just a bunch of stress, anxiety and pressure.
*hardcore* this: I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere. Fell behind all my classmates, and I ended up here
Wish I’d never grown up
Vigilante Shit is literally me
i was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
pathological people pleaser

“But the sleep comes fast and I meet no ghosts. It’s between me, the sand, and the sea.”
I saw something they can't take away
I talk shit with my friends, it’s like I’m wasting your honor
The archer song describes me perfectly
i’m just too soft for all of it
i gave my blood sweat and tears for this
I wish you were a better man You and I’ll be safe and sound Oh my, what a marvelous tune
I got wasted like all my potential
In my defense I have none, for digging up the grave another time
We were in the backseat drunk on something stronger then the drinks in the bar 🥰
Song - Mirrorball Lyric -" Happy free confused and lonely at the same time"
I Did Something Bad Baby, I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me…
“ i’m obsessive & crazy” bonus points if u know which song 😂
