ttpd and midnights are so good when you don’t have someone in your ear telling you how bad jack antonoff’s production is

#you can pry the swift/antonoff synth songs from my cold dead hands #I will always love jack's synths

My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys - Taylor Swift

#My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys #my boy only breaks his favorite toys #taylor swift #taylorswift #the tortured poets department #vickisedits #tswiftedit #really wanted the arms seperate so like...its impossible to put herself back together #also the faceless thing was also a deliberate choice #there's a lot of intent here even if I lowkey was itching for a lightbox and a barbie to set it up myself to photograph...

Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon? | The mark thеy saw on my collarbone/the rust that grew bеtween telephones/ the lips I used to call home/ so scarlet, it was maroon

really fucking hate it when people post taylor lyrics out of context and be like omg she's not a poet, she's awful. like wtf, not every lyric has to be amazing, they're also funny and sassy like some of u take her way too seriously oh my godfdfkjdsfhsf youre just looking for reasons to hate her

taylorftparamore

also like. to be quite frank. a lot of poetry would read cringe if you took a line out of it, decontextualized it, and deliberately refused to understand it. i could do it with beyonce lyrics. "we've been hurtin, but it's happy hour" reads cringe without the rest of the context of the song's story. it also ignores the production & artistry that an entire song makes up.

with any given pop punk band's lyrics (ESPECIALLY blink-182). like if you pulled "what the hell is add?" from "what's my age again" without the context of the rest of the song and the concept, it sure as fuck reads cringey! like there's a level of songwriting that went into this song that understood how to make a whole song flow together.

to go even more serious, if i were to pull "jokes freely cracked, scrambled and fried" from a poem by andrea "vocab" sanderson, it reads a lil cringe! but it also is completely removed from its context and understanding (btw check her out, she's an incredible black poet from san antonio, tx) so of course it's not perfectly standing on its own.

poetry is meant to be consumed in its whole form. removing part of it from the rest of its context absolutely causes something to get lost.

#all of this!#(also loving the blink example here)#context is important for interpreting basically anything #also like...a song is also made up of instrumentation/melody? and that matters when you're interpreting it (as the 2nd comment pointed out)#the taking a line out of context and mocking it really gives tumblr girlies back in 2012~ish mocking grammy nominees #where they built a strawman by putting 'we're up all night to get lucky' next to the bridge of all too well #and then some other chucklehead putting the chorus of wanegbt next to some sad indie ballad #like the false equivalency is just seeping out #and if you don't want to engage with something properly what's your opinion worth?
