taylor swift songs and reading at centennial park <3 discussion

OKAY OKAY BUT LOOK:
i just saw a post that said "you favorite song from folklore is how you deal with hurting and your favorite song from evermore is how you deal with healing."
AND WE NEED TO DO THIS
everyone gimme your favorite songs from each and well work thru this trauma together
mine are
this is me trying
and
tolerate it
what do you think that means for me

BABESSSSS
THAT’S- THAT’S SAD
uhhh I think it means that you deal with hurting by not talking about it yet you just want everyone to know how hard you’re trying and sometimes you wish you could scream it, and you deal with healing by accepting the pain and that it was there, accepting that you were tolerated, yet acceptance is only the first step and while it still hurts, part of you knows overtime you’ll be okay
idk how accurate that is lmao

anyways mine:
folkore: my tears ricochet
evermore: cowboy like me

mary (betty’s version) wrote: "anyways mine:
folkore: my tears ricochet
evermore: cowboy like me"

from a fellow my tears ricochet stan, i think we tend to see the person who hurt us continually "come back" even tho THEY pushed US away. they notice us only when they need help or advice, and it tears us apart. - or at least me

folklore: my tears ricochet or mirrorball
evermore: right where you left me

okay so like basically the same thing you said to me for mtr, and yet somehow you always end up right where they left you after they left, even though they’re the one who hurt you and they don’t deserve your time and energy, but you’re slowly realizing that

folklore: hoax or illicit affairs
evermore: cowboy like me or marjorie

help kdjfksjdjfjf

folklore: mad woman
evermore: coney island
...

stop omg
folklore: this is me trying
evermore: gold rush or champagne problems

Folklore: peace
Evermore: 'Tis the damn season
JUDGE ME

i’m not gonna analyze you based on marjorie as it’s about taylor’s late grandma and out of respect for her i think that’s the only way to interpret the song <3
but the other ones…
okay so in ways illicit affairs and hoax can go hand in hand, like you were hurt by someone who’s love and care meant a lot to you, and for a while you were still believing in that hoax, but now you’re starting to find love again, and you’ll be okay with the person that’s a cowboy like you <3
(I always think of cowboy like me as a love song but idk)

when you were hurting you were mad and wanted revenge, and you may have gotten it, but now you’re just sitting on a bench in Coney Island wondering where your baby went… but not literally, metaphorically
you’re sitting there regretting the revengeful choices you probably made, but at you’re slowly starting to accept them as you were hurting and feeling your feelings, and that’s okay

alexturnerstan wrote: "stop omg
folklore: this is me trying

hmmmm
for a while you felt like you were screaming into the void and no one heard you or frankly cared to listen, but then you found the person who did, kinda like a piece of gold that you stumbled upon in the dark mines
yet, you don’t like a gold rush, because a small part of you feels like you don’t deserve to be heard by this person, but you know you need it and you know it’s helping and you know they care, and you’re gonna be okay

champagne problems idk sorry
but yeah

Drew (Taylor's version)✨ wrote: "Folklore: peace
Evermore: 'Tis the damn season
JUDGE ME"

you spent what seemed like an eternity asking if it would be enough if you could never give this one person peace
if you could never be okay, would they still sit through the storm with you?
and that question always pegged at your mind, but you never asked, as you didn’t wanna be a nuisance on the other person (you never were)
in the midst of your hurting, you pushed them away, and you were lost for a while, but they’re starting to slowly come back into your life, and you’ve accepted being able to call them babe for the weekend :)

that was fun
lmk how off I am guys lmao

woah stop i can't respond to yours for some reason but that was spot on whattt

I feel so freakin called out rn... thank you

mary needs to be a therapist

for real this is kinda scary

Ok mine are
Folklore: Betty or august (I SWEAR IM NOT BASIC I just rlly love these songs they are so close to my heart) or mirrorball
Evermore: champagne problems or tolerate it

how did you just describe me girl?? like that was me in a paragraph, you're so good at this

LMAOOOO
glad to help guys

Anna (inej ghafa’s version) wrote: "this is so interesting!
mine is tlgad from folklore and both bonus tracks on evermore"

hmmmm
okay
tlgad always makes me think of this mystical fairy tale story, so when you're hurting you put yourself in a fictional world, maybe in a book, and you resonate with the characters that had "a marvelous time ruining everything," because you feel like you've ruined everything and you're the reason things are crumbling down around you (you're not, i promise <3)
and for a while you were stuck in that haze and that mindset, even when you came out of that fictional world, always right where that person left you: stuck, with everything crumbling down around you
but you're slowly realizing that it's time to go, as it was never healthy for you to be in that situation in the first place, but you experienced it, and you're ready to leave it now, and it's okay

Aleena (Taylor's Version) wrote: "Okay let's see how accurate this is here are mine:
Folklore: Cardigan or Invisible string
Evermore: agalkjagk this is literally my fave album it's so hard to pick😩 ok imma say Gold rush or RWYLM"

you thought there was an invisible string tying you to them, and when you felt like nothing but a forgotten cardigan, they made you feel important and loved
that was until they left
but then... they came back
there was a push and pull going on in your mind, you broke in two, torn between knowing what they did and knowing what you once had and how amazing it was
you're stuck, right where they left you when they went away
and now that they're back, like you're a bunch of gold and the seekers are coming to find you, or something idk, but you're starting to realize that you don't like a gold rush, and you don't need them
you're ready to cut that invisible string, and you're content with that

for the LONGEST time you lived for the hope of it all, putting yourself in the spotlight, trying your absolute hardest to get them to notice you
but you got your hopes up, as summer love can't last forever
and you're starting to realize maybe you never needed any of their champagne problems, and they were never right for you, and it's okay that in the midst of your hurting you couldn't see that
because it's clear to you now, and you know that the fog will clear up soon, and august will come again

Wow…that’s scary

times we have the same favorites aaa

this is me trying and dorothea

nevaya wrote: "this is me trying and dorothea"

OKAY I FINALLY HAVE TIME FOR THIS:

so like mary said, " I think it means that you deal with hurting by not talking about it yet you just want everyone to know how hard you’re trying and sometimes you wish you could scream it" cant put it better than that, and you deal with your hurting by becoming someone else completely, putting on the facade that you're fine and living your best life (maybe people will even want to be like you) when really you feel like you're wasting it and you just want one person who will truly understand how it feels to have to be fake happiness sometimes.

dunno if that made sense but yeah

mirrorball and right where you left me ?!

These are so GOODDDD
Folklore: the last great American dynasty or the lakes
Evermore: happiness or ivy
