————WHY THE STORY OF US IS THE LYRICAL PERFECTION OF SPEAK NOW———
so, this is the first song that tells me TS is amazing,, I was 11 when I accidentally played it on YT & I ended up loving it. Anw, there were lots of swifties in my elementary school but I was an edgy bitch,, I despise TS cz I aint the same I felt so sorry I was, btw here we go,,
anw from some online tabloids that I read this song is about how she and john mayonaise met after their break-up well idk about it,,,,, but a legend once said “THE RUMORS.. ARE TERRIBLE AND CRUEL BUT HONEY MOST OF THEM ARE TRUE.. AAA AAA AHHHH” ssksksk alright now we’ll start
before i get down to the lyrics, can we just agree on how amazing the beats, the mv (the concept of it) are? the mv is so chaotic for me it’s realistic picturing how young ppl fall in love, we’ll see how clueless we are here.
at the chapter one we’ll see how she get the sparks with her lover it was that instant but it did bloomed and as stupid as young love, it gets bitter NOT LONG after the bloom only because miscommunication (we basically had no idea how to express love and stuffs) then here we go,,
the first verse goes..
“I used to think one day we tell the story of how we met and the sparks flew instantly, and people will say we’re the lucky ones.” ~~ you know this phase when you’re YOUNG and in the beginning of a relationship, you’ll start to expect things..
“I used to think one day we tell the story of how we met and the sparks flew instantly, and people will say we’re the lucky ones.” ~~ you know this phase when you’re YOUNG and in the beginning of a relationship, you’ll start to expect things..
I MEAN WHO DIDNT DO THIS WHEN THEYRE VERY YOUNG AND IN LOVE.. YOU MUST BE LYING IF YOU DONT OR IM PRETTY SURE THAT WASNT LOVE. AT ALL.
then the song goes, “I used to know my place was a spot next to you, now I’m searching the room for an empty seat cause lately I don’t even know what page you’re on. Oh.. a simple complication, miscommunication, leads to fall out..” WHO DIDNT GET THIS TROUBLE WHO!?!?
AND WHO SAID THAT IN A SONG AS MAKES SENSE AS IT IS AS THE BEATS AND THE LYRICS SO SUBTLE, ANYONE WHOOO!!?!?!?queen,,,tswizzle,,,only,,,
Then it goes, “So many things that I wish you knew, so many walls that I can’t break through!!” 
“Now IM STANDIN alone in a crowded room & we’re not speaking, and IM DYING TO KNOW IF ITS KILLING U LIKE ITS KILLING ME AND,, IDK WHAT TO SAY SINCE THE TWIST OF FATE WHEN IT ALL BROKE DOWN, and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now” this is my entire relationship story.
——NEXT CHAPTER———
The lyrics go, “Howd we end up this way? See me nervously pulling at my clothes & tryn to look busy. AND YOURE DOING YOUR BEST TO AVOID ME... im started to think one day wed tell the story of us how im losing my mind when i saw u here BUT U HELD UR PRIDE LIKE U SHOULDVE HELD ME.”
Up my friend, is how they ghosted us. So casually cruel in the name of being honest. Don’t you think teenage years are too young to be played by their dark twisted games when we loved them so..? They shouldve known.
this is the part where you know something isnt going to be well. “ID TELL YOU I MISS YOU BUT I DONT KNOW HOW..” “IVE NEVER HEARD SILENCE QUITE THIS LOOOOUUUUDDDDDD” this silence when you have no idea youre being ghosted where you keep asking in your head but you just couldnt ask,
that shit is so damn loud. This is the part where you secretly knows your partner is hiding something and youre so confuse you keep asking about it in your head as it drives you crazy just like how chaotic taylor is in the mv.. eye—the story of us is so—relatAble—eye—
“THIS IS LOOKING LIKE A CONTEST.. OF WHO CAN ACT LIKE THEY CARE LESS.. BUT I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN U ARE ON MY SIDE. THE BATTLE’S IN YOUR HANDS NOW. BUT ID LAY MY ARMORS DOWN IF U SAY YOUD RATHER LOVE THAN FIGHT..” <~~ THE LYRICAL MASTERPIECE AKA THE HARDEST PART IN RELATIONSHIP
this is the part when you figured out everything and you wanted to say what you got to say but it’s too late cause the moments had just past and the relationship had been off
. This is the most chaotic part and this mv is valid. I love you Taylor.
. This is the most chaotic part and this mv is valid. I love you Taylor.
ok so, here’s the conclusion : it’s relatable the mv and the lyrics, its metaphors are perfect and the music too. how they draw the situation too (Taylor, cause she concept her mvs and songs what a talent ugh!!! Her mind!!!)
)
The fact that this is on speak now means she really write the song alone cz it was her proving the critics that SHE KNOWS SHIT. way to go baby,,, she rocks,,, ughhh taylorrr
there are so many great emotional lyrics in speak now but “ive never heard silence quite this loud” “this is looking like a contest, of who can act like they care less” “the battle’s in your hands now but id lay my armors down if you say youd rather love than fight”, etc here..
is superior. Periodt
This thread is a mess. But stan taylor. Or if you dont pls dont hate her. You wont get this talent once in a hundred years. Periodt. Bye luvz. Gudnight...
