So...I realize I'm giving Tay Tay a lot of crap on my blogs. The sad thing is- there's still at least one more T. Swift song I'm going to tear apart before this is all over. I just have a feeling.
It isn't that I don't like the girl. I have a ton of her music on my iPod...from when I was in high school.
The thing is she's about 23 now and is writing music for 15 year olds. If she would write about adult problems then I'm sure I would like her more.
Anyway- let's get down to business.
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in
On a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family
All dressed in pastel.
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry.
Okay...where to begin? Where you state you're rudely barging in and shouldn't be? Or the fact you're essentially stalking these two?
First of all- this screams creeper. Why are you sneaking around, Taylor Swift? I'm fairly certain this is called stalking. I'm also fairly certain it's frowned upon.
Secondly- maybe she's yelling at a bridesmaid because she's stressed and is worried some little twerp is going to come and try to screw her wedding up.
Lastly- Take a look at your first sentence. Rudely barging in is exactly what you're doing..and you're aware you shouldn't be...so, why?
This is
Surely not what you thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say...
Don't say yes
Run away now.
I'll meet you when you're out of the church
At the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said speak now.
DON'T DO IT! She clearly has some kind of issue if she's stalking you dude. The most attention you should be giving her at this point is a restraining order.
I foresee your lovely fiance ending up on a Criminal Minds episode because Taylor is getting ready to snatch her.
"She's climbin' in yo windows and snatching yo people up!"
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play
A song that sounds like a death march.
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems like I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be.
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me, don't you?
I'm going to assume "hiding in the curtains" simply means trying to keep out of sight...but the wording makes her sound like a stalker ninja in my humble opinion. I picture Taylor Swift literally hiding behind curtains..like when kids play hide and go seek, and all you can see is their feet.
You probably didn't get invited by "the lovely bride to be" because you are her future husbands EX...oh! And you're apparently trying to break her wedding up. So I'm thinking this isn't the first time you've tried to do so.
Normally those things don't go over too well when people are in relationships.
I hear the preacher say
"Speak now or forever hold your peace".
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands all eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you
Ok, let's take a break right there...this is the point in the service where I would personally tackle her scrawny tail. I mean, really?! Who does that and expects to not be thrown to the ground and punched by an angry bride?
So don't say yes,
Run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "speak now"
And the part that says to me the poor girl who got left will be better off in the long run...
And you say let's run away now
I'll meet you when
I'm out of the tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around when they said
Speak Now
This entire song just flat out disappoints me. Very rarely do songs seriously make me angry, but this one (as well as Why Don't You Stay by Sugarland) does. That's because it makes it sound like it's totally okay for her to be doing what she is...and it ain't.
Let someone come and do this at my wedding. Someone will be getting cut that day, and probably arrested.
I can see it happening right now...and it's not pretty. At all.
As for the guys who may be reading this- if you're going to run off with the crazy chick who interrupts your wedding, you should probably consider locking yourself in something to the equivalent of an old abandoned house in some foreign land (such as Antarctica?) far, FAR, away from any human contacts. Because your new found relationship probably won't work...and then you should be too ashamed of yourself to date again. Ever.
Phew...told y'all this song made me mad.
I'm busy all the time and barely have time to breathe nowadays. But, alas, there shall be a happy song next time(:
