~•~The Crazy Pullets of BYC!~•~

[Ec_Prokta]

Hello, and welcome to PK's Lyrical Dissonance, AKA In which I yell at inane lyrics! Today, we'll be doing some song by some girl, I mean Fifteen by Taylor Swift.

I've never been a fan of her. Country just isn't my thing, plus she just looks... weird. Not to mention she can't reference Romeo and Juliet right. Spoilers, Taylor: THEY DIE. THE END. Your happy love song doesn't sound so happy now, huh? HUH? Ahaha!

Anyway, let's dissect this wheat-mess!

"You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors, it's the morning of your very first day."

Well... Okay. Not a bad way to start of a song, plus it opens up new possibilities for what's going to happen! Is she/you/person walking into a club? Church? New Job?

"You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while, try and stay out of everybody's way."

...okay. High school. Not a problem. But Taylor, 'aint' isn't a word, and I don't care if this is country pop.

"It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here for the next four years in this town."

Wait... Fifteen year olds are just entering high school? ...What. Maybe I'm just spoiled by homeschooling. Either way, I guess that explains everything, though! Oh, and what about moving? That happens, my dear.

"Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say 'You know I haven't seen you around before.'"

Hang on. If fifteen year olds are in their freshman year, then let me think... Sophomore, Junior, Sen- TAYLOR!!

"'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them."

Taylor, let me introduce you to a large group of people! They are often called cynics and depression sufferers.

"And when you're fifteen, feeling like there's nothing to figure out."

AHAHA. You're so funny, Taylor~!

Oh my goodness! That's quite amusing

Nothing to figure out?! I'm not even 15 and I've got ENOUGH to figure out

Part 2!

"Well, count to ten, take it in, this is life before you know who you're gonna be."

This is probably the only line I can relate to. Considering this is popular country/pop, that says a lot.

"Fifteen."

Remember this, kids! You'll be beaten over the head with it for the next 3+ minutes!

"You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail and soon enough you're best friends."

Well good for you!

"Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool, we'll be out of here as soon as we can."

1. If you laugh at them, then are you really better than them? Isn't this a case of 'You are what you hate'? 2. If you're JUST entering highschool at fifteen, you've got a while to go. *waves*

"And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car and you're feeling like flying."

Oh wow! He's got a car! *gasp* Quick, honey, let's drive to the AIRPORT! ...Oh. That flying feeling is love, huh... WELL THEN. Oh, and that was a rather quick transition, huh Taylor?

"And your mama's waiting up"

...Oh dear.

"And you're thinking he's the one and you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends."

Ah, good ol' teenage love. AKA, fangirling. What would I/Taylor/90% of girls today do without you?

"When the night ends... *chorus*"

I'm not repeating the chorus. Just... No. Oh, WAIT. Taylor decided to add on a new line!

"When you're fifteen, and your first kiss makes your head spin 'round"

That's gonna leave a mark.

"But in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team."

I'm going to keep my mouth shut on this one.

"I didn't know it at fifteen."

No kidding. At fifteen, you're a confused mess of hormones trying to figure out the world and yourself! Or something, anyway.

/part 2.

I totally agree with dating the boy on the football team. I go to a single sex school, so we don't have any boys on football teams here

The world, I think, will never be able to be figured out by anyone. That's an impossible feat to ask!

Part 3~!

"When all you wanted was to be wanted, wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now."

Yup! Shouldn't have had that party, huh Past!Me? Oh yeah, fit in better Past!Me! What do you mean, you got teased everywhere? *laugh*

"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine."

Yeah! Forget the nice guy you dated! Let's go to Hollywood and write idiotic songs teenagers can pretend to relate to!

"And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind."

...Uh... Someone restrain me. So, Abigail's back, and we find out [EXPUNGED]. Wow, Taylor. You are a 19 year old 'woman', and you're talking about that like it's all a woman has? Shame. Pure shame. May you go to sleep with a trauma so frightful it'll wake you up!

"And we both cried."

I'm going to find you, someday. As much as I sympathize for Abigail (Given her little development because Taylor is singing about Like, ohmigawsh, BOYS~ Oh yeah, 15! Stuff happens, you're stupid! 15!) It's just... Ugh!

*begin chorus*

Shut up, Taylor.

"And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall"

SHUT UP, TAYLOR.

"I've found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you're supposed to be."

SH- Okay, you have a point.

"I didn't know who I was supposed to be."

No kidding. Let me guess, the next lyrics will be 'At fifteen'?

"At fifteen."

Now let's listen to her la la la her way through even more time! Goodness.

"Your very first day."

...WOOHOO!

"Take a deep breath, girl. Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors."

We've entered an endless recursion of time...

...Oh, phew! That was it! Only 5 minutes and 15 seconds of searching through asinine lyrics to find some actual lyrics that provide good advice! This song is terrible. That's it. If you want to hear good advice, look up motivational posters on the internet, talk with your mom, or go chat with the old folks. They know about being fifteen a lot better than some 19 year old cute blonde.

GAH. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drown out her voice with some Active Angel. (Now taking requests~)

/Fifteen.

 

[Delta1_05]

I hope that Taylor doesn't have a BYC account. Now, I actually happen to like the name Taylor, and the song You belong with me, but the rest of it, yeah... well, you said it!

 

[Ec_Prokta]

I highly doubt she does.

And thanks, by the way!

 

[Delta1_05]

Yep, you've got an audience here!

s

That's good. Although seeing as she's a country girl, would it really be all that weird for her to own chickens?
