Zolu as Taylor Swift lyrics

"All these people think love's for show, but I would die for you in secret." — peace

This is literally Zoro in Thriller Bark willing to die and keeping it a secret from everybody. I want to throw up. They make me mentally ill.

"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep. Change my priorities. The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury. [...] Is this the end of all the endings? My broken bones are mending with all these nights we're spending. Up on the roof with a schoolgirl crush, drinking beer out of plastic cups. Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff. Baby, all at once, this is enough. And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for. King of my heart, body and soul." — King Of My Heart

King Of My Heart is so Zolu coded, not only because of, y'know, Luffy being literally the King of Zoro's heart, but because of the devotion and the feeling that nobody else compares to Luffy. Also, the feeling of young love and possessiveness between them is so good with this song.

"And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you. I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all." — Lover

Zoro is in love with the future king of the pirates. Everybody wants Luffy. Of course Zoro is going to be jealous.

"Wherever you stray I follow. I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man. You know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is hollow. [...] Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars." — willow

The devotion. Zoro willing to follow Luffy to hell. Luffy wanting to know Zoro better, deeper. Knowing every detail about his scars and dreams. I'm going insane.

"And if I'm gonna be drunk, might as well be drunk in love. [...] Everyone wants him, that was my crime." — Slut!

Ah yes, being possessive and an alcoholic. Zoro's best character traits.

"'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this. You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless." — Fearless

This is very early Zolu but honestly could just be them being silly and Zoro following Luffy's silly and impulsive shenanigans.

"My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again. These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon: I was enchanted to meet you... Please don't be in love with someone else... Please don't have somebody waiting on you." — Enchanted

Sabaody angst haunts me at night.

"You made a mess of me. I pictured you with other girls in love, then threw up on the street. [...] Oh my, love is a lie, shit my friends say to get me by. It hits different. It hits different this time." — Hits Different

They're so... The one for each other. Their love hits different. For both of them.

"So you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong. We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts. But this love is brave and wild. [...] These are the hands of fate, you're my Achilles heel. This is the golden age of something good and right and real." — State of Grace

They're each other's Achilles heel. I'm gonna cry.

"Time, mystical time, cuttin' me open, then healin' me fine. Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me? [...] Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons. One single thread of gold tied me to you." — invisible string

Thinking that they were destined to be together is cheesy af but I don't care <3

"I see how this is gon' go, touch me and you'll never be alone. Island breeze and lights down low. No one has to know. [...] Every lover known in comparison is a failure. I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now. Never be the same now." — ...Ready For It?

Once again saying that they're the one for each other. And also this song is just the vibes. They have these vibes. I don't want to explain it because I got tired of writing this halfway.

"Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night. Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright. Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life. I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings." — Paper Rings

They're so clingy so sappy so cheesy I don't care what dudebros think.

"You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious. [...] I didn't come here to make friends, we were born to be suburban legends. When you hold me, it holds me together. And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever." — Suburban Legends

Luffy has always been, ever since they met, magnetic to Zoro. And it kind of bothered him at first, but now Luffy has changed his life forever and he will never love somebody else the way he loves Luffy.

"And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other. In another life, you still would've turned my head even if we'd met... [...] 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this. So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine... We would've been timeless." — Timeless

Once again saying that I love thinking they're soulmates. Because they are. Argue with the wall.

"I'm yours to keep, and I'm yours to lose." — So It Goes...

I love codependency.

"But we might just get away with it. Religion's in your lips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship. We might just get away with it. The altar is my hips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship this love. I know heaven's a thing. I go there when you touch me. Honey hell is when I fight with you." — False God

Zoro worshipping Luffy like a God will never not be extremely romantic and passionate. Luffy also sees their relationship like this, kind of. They're each other's world!!! Going crazy!!!

"Put your lips close to mine as long as they don't touch. Out of focus, eye to eye, 'til the gravity's too much. And I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands." — Treacherous

This is just them pining over each other and being extremely intimate and willing to do anything the other says. I love exaggerating everything.

"They said the end is coming. Everyone's up to something. I find myself running home to your sweet nothings. [...] And the voices that implore, "You should be doing more". To you, I can admit that I'm just too soft for all of it." — Sweet Nothing

I honestly always think about Sanuso with this song because it's way more Sanuso coded- HOWEVER!! I do think Zolu has this domestic and genuine energy whenever they're clingy and don't really ask anything from the other except just being together.

"Big reputation, big reputation. You and me, we got big reputations. And you heard about me. I got some big enemies. [...] I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me. And I can't let you go, your handprint's on my soul. It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold." — End Game

Do I really need to explain this one when everybody knows they're literally dramatic pirates wanted by the law? And they're very very in love?

"All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life. Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life. And I want you now, wanna need you forever. In the heat of your electric touch." — Electric Touch

When OPLA!Zoro said that Luffy had changed his life. That changed me.

"We blocked the noise with the sound of 'I need you', and for the first time I had something to lose." — Holy Ground

Once again this is about OPLA!Zoro but obviously works with our regular Zolu. Zoro was so lost without Luffy I'm gonna cry.

"One night he wakes, strange look on his face. Pauses, then says: You're my best friend. And you knew what it was. He is in love." — You Are In Love

This is the perfect way to describe a relationship between aroaspec people. Also, this is giving Sanuso too but this is not a Sanuso post I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so-

"Don't blame me, love made me crazy. If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right. Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I'll be usin' for the rest of my life. My name is whatever you decide, and I'm just gonna call you mine." — Don't Blame Me

I don't need to explain this one.

"My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War." — The Great War

I always think about ASL and Marineford with this one but tbh it is very Zolu too.

#i hope y'all like this bc i spent like 2 hours listenting to taylor for this #not that i'm complaininig tho #why are they so dramatic and poetic i am going to die #gay people and their dramatic songs about devotion huh #roronoa zoro #monkey d luffy #zolu #one piece #zoro x luffy #luffy x zoro #taylor swift

I love seeing people compare music to their favourite characters and go like 'oh yeah this verse might be this character... and then this one is the other one... and then this little bit here is them both honestly. Or something like that' because I HAVE gone through every taylor swift song on evermore and folklore and compared it to skk. Sorry to be autistic on the writing account, but this is a fanfic writing account and I'm writing my second novel length fic about them so what did you expect.

folklore/evermore are very canon skk, and verge into fanon and some songs are the reason for very specific head canons, or some of the ways I write the way they perceive each other. 1989... DON'T GET ME STARTED OMFG HAVE YOU EVER LISTENED TO BLANK SPACE? I THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT HAVE AND OMG IT'S SO SKK CODED LIKE WTF. I HAVE VERY FIRM OPINIONS ABOUT WHICH LYRICS ARE THEIRS. Also the vault tracks literally exist what more do you want from me. 'i think about jumping off of very tall somethings just to see you come running and say the one thing I've been wanting' okay dazai pack it up you did that already, beast exists. 'i call my mom sister she said that it was for the best remind myself the more i gave you'd want me less' yeah yeah chuuya we know he left you get over it, it wasn't personal(think that line could go for either of them but the other line 'the way you faded till i left' feels more Dazai personally). Plus suburban legends. For personal reasons I struggle to listen to song without SPIRALING FUCK YOU THAT ONE PERSON SEHDHSSJNS but very skk as well 'we were born to be national treasures' is very soulmates of them. And out of the woods screams them in fanfic when they try to get better. Red, straight away all too well. They both remember it all too well. All too well skk cover with switching vocals anyone? The last time. The one with gary lightbody. Underrated song, is my favourite on that album, and SO THEM. 'this is the last time you tell me ive got it wrong, this is the last time i wont hurt you anymore' because they're fated to be together and are constantly drawn to each other and yet keep HURTING EACH OTHER RAGH. also 'we are never getting back together' is pretty funny and nice when applied to them. also state of grace. any taylor song with a mild drop of religious imagery is them cause yeah. but 'i never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same'... okay pack it up, we don't have time for your yearning. 'you were never a saint' (dazai abt chuuya) 'and i loved in shades of wrong' (bc hes toxic and doesnt know how to healthily like people) 'we learned to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts' (bc they continue anyway and stick it out, living with the pain of being bad for each other because of how deeply they care). I almost do. Dazai after leaving. moving on to more religion, holy ground. 'for the first time i had something to lose' 'and i guess we fell apart in the usual way, and the storys got dust on every page' AAAAAA IT'S THEM. Can't really speak on debut- but I've listened to our song and picture to burn and if picture to burn isn't a vengeful chuuya idk what is. BOY OH BOY SPEAK NOW.

excuse me. one moment.

Mine- literally a skk au

Sparks fly- 'the way you move is like a rainstorm and im a house full of cards, you're the kind of reckless that should send me running' that entire verse screams dazai's fascination with corrupted chuuya, and the whole song is well yeah

back to december- dazai when they reunite just trust me on it just trust me on it. the repetition was intentional, that's how serious i am. 'i go back to december all the time' 'I got back to december to make it all right'

speak now- might just be me but it really makes me think of teen skk in fanfic harbouring urges to ruin the others relationship for 'some reason. I don't know, seeing him with her just... irks me'.

the story of us- first verse is chuuya, second verse is dazai, and the third is them both because they're LOSERS and they LOVE EACH OTHER and FUCK I'm CRYING NOW. 'id tell you i miss you but i don't know how' EMOTIONALLY CONSTIPATED BASTARD.

enchanted- self explanatory. for more context, i really think it's from dazai's pov in this case, could probably be both, but dazai fell first and harder so it's really like god he's been in love ever since he got kicked into that wall he wants him around forever. He held Chuuya's hand in the fight with rimbaud and then had all those close moments in the manga and went home to lie on his bed kicking his feet and giggling don't lie. (god im still crying this isn't helping)

better than revenge- they're both pretty vengeful idk it makes me think of iwsynttr for some reason

haunted- chuuya pov. 'i thought i had you figured out, something's gone terribly wrong' 'stood there and watched you walk away from everything we had' they're so sad, but the general idea of chuuya thinking he has figured out dazai and knowing how he thinks and then dazai just leaves suddenly and he's like 'Wow! I thought i knew you. How do i forget this'. 'wont finish what you started' bringing chuuya into the mafia then leaving it.

last kiss- 'you told me you love me so why did you go away' chuuya pov again oh god it hurts why am i doing this to myself? 'never imagined we'd end like this, your name, forever the name on my lips' yep yep ow.

LONG LIVE.- LISTEN. TO. THE. SONG. AND TELL ME IT'S NOT DAZAI AND CHUUYA. I COULD DO A WHOLE ANALYSIS ON JUST THIS SONG. 'promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever, but if god forbid fate should step in, and force us into a goodbye...please tell them my name, tell them how the crowds went wild, tell them how i hope they shine, long live the walls we crashed through, i had the time of my life with you' FUCK IT'S DAZAI AN HE'S IN LOVE WITH CHUUYA AND DOESNT KNOW ODAS GONNA DIE YET, JUST THINKS HE DOESNT GET TO KEEP ANYTHING HE WANTS. FUUUUUCK. THEY'RE IN LOVE AND DAZAI WANTS IT REMEMBERED PLEASE I'M SO SAD.

anyway, i can't pretend I'm normal about skk anymore i haven't even covered fearless, reputation, lover or midnights please somebody encourage me to actually write full things dedicated to each album and the most fitting songs from said albums please i'll do it and plus i need to actually gather proof for my autism diagnosis appointment so this would be a good way to to that probably. anyway yeah this'll never make it out my drafts lol

#this is finally out of my drafts after months #dedicated to the anon who asked and the one who said abt the fearless song idk if you're the same person but either way love you lots 🤞#i love taylor swift so much #i love skk more #im sorry for this #but the brainrot is real #this was written at like 3am in January #bsd #silas yaps #soukoku #soukoku fanfiction #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #bungou stray dogs #taylor swift

ok so i kinda wanna see if the lyrics i associate with them are accurate or not?? but here are a few songs + lyrics which i associate w them based on my few interactions w them

call it what you want - ‘i want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck / not because he owns me but because he really knows me’

the 1 - ‘i persist and resist the temptation to ask you if one thing had been different would everything be different today’

tolerate it - ‘i know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it’

exile - ‘your not my homeland anymore so what am i defending now?’

state of grace - ‘so you were never a saint and i loved in shades of wrong / we learn to live with the pain mosaic broken hearts’

cardigan - ‘you drew stars around my scars but now i’m bleeding’

feel free to brainrot or infodump on me if any of these fit!!

OMG OK IM EXCITEDDDDDD😊😊😊😊😊

call it what you want - THATS SO REAL.i cant decide if its more aziraphale or crowley. ok THATS EVER SO SLIGHTLY MORE CROWLEYCORE just bc of.. recent events…. and also bc of Something i read recently🙂

the 1 - already 100 points for the word temptation also thats litwrally season 2 fuck my stupid baka life.

tolerate it - i feel like if crowley (immediately after s2) found out about this song he would pass out and then wake up and cry himself to discorporation (its perfect)

exile - THIS IS ALSO SOO SO REAL. i feel like this is both aziraphale meeting demon crowley and fighting between his admiration for them and his devotion to heaven . and also Kind Of crowley immediately after Certain Events😊 but MOSTLY religious trauma azi

state of grace - YEGAGH. YEYA. yeah. THIS IS LITERALLY SEASON 2 MY LIFE SUCKS.this is both of them because they can never talk and they will do nothing but break up 🤬

cardigan - is tuis the one from tiktok.this Is them and if it were to be either of them we know it would be crowley 🙁

ok so basically ur spot on and im going to Get Yoy.

State of Grace - Chapter 7

Grace watched Ransom drive, mumbling softly, "do you think Tyler is cheating on me?"

He groaned, clutching the steering wheel tightly. "I think you're drunk, and I think it's best we don't talk."

She scoffed, "so that's a yes. Because why wouldn't he? Because why would he want me?"

Ransom groaned again, shaking his head, "no. If he is, he's an idiot. And it has nothing to do with you. You're perfect Grace."

She only looked at him, not saying anything for a few minutes before turning on the radio. She heard him sigh as she fiddled with the knobs. She stopped on a Taylor Swift song and heard him groan, making her laugh.

"What is it with you and Taylor Swift?"

Grace shrugged, "but it's us." She watched him as she sung along, "We are alone, just you and me. Up in your room and our slates are clean. Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes." She leaned over, placing her hand on his thigh, seeing him smirk, "so you were never a saint. And I've loved in shades of wrong. We learn to live with the pain. Mosaic broken hearts." Grace sighed, looking out the passenger window. "You're my Achilles heel,” she mutters softly, just loud enough for him to hear.

He sighed, pulling into the parking lot of his apartment building. He got out, coming around to help her out of the car.

"See, you're still a child, living in an apartment. You have money for a house, why don't you buy a house."

"I don't want a house." He unlocked the door to his apartment, helping her inside. He walked her all the way to the bedroom, helping her remove her coat and shoes before making her lay down.

"Wait!" She watched him start to walk away before she moved over, "lay with me."

Ransom shook his head, "no. I'll sleep on the couch. Just go to sleep Grace."

"Ransom, please don't leave me alone."

He sighed, looking at the floor before turning back towards her. He could see she was about to cry again as she watched him, "okay." He got undressed to his underwear and a t-shirt before crawling into bed next to her. He felt her move to him, resting her head on his chest as he sighed, "Grace." She ran her hand up to his neck as he watched her before she pulled his lips to hers. He moved as he felt her tongue quickly finding his and rolled her to her back, pinning her under him. She ran her hands up under his shirt as he groaned. Ransom pushed her away, laying back on his back, "not like this Gracie. I'm sorry."

She moved away from him, her heart clenching tightly in her chest. "Am I not good enough?"

He groaned, "you know that isn't it. You're drunk and high, and I'm not doing it like this."

"You have sex with drunk women all the time."

Ransom sighed, "but those women aren't you Grace. Please, can we just sleep."

She rolled away from him, facing the wall. "Tyler won't touch me. You won't touch me."

He groaned, rolling towards her as he pulled her to him. He kissed her from her shoulder to her ear. "You know all I want is to touch you, Grace. To feel you. But I can't, not like this. I want you to be with me because you want to be with me, not because you're upset." He kissed her neck once more as he wrapped his arms around her firmly. "Tyler is an idiot. Now just sleep Gracie, please."

***

Grace groaned, bringing her hand to her head as she rolled over to see she was in Ransom's bed, alone. She sat up, remembering him bringing her home with him. She looked to see a water bottle and aspirin on the nightstand next to her. She smiled, taking the pills as she saw the note under the water bottle. She set the bottle down, picking up the note. She sighed as she opened it.

You were wrong. You're *my* Achilles heel. There's a spare key on the nightstand. Lock up when you leave. - HRD

She looked under where the note was to see the key. She stood up, grabbing the key, putting it and the note in her pocket. She called a car before she made his bed and going into his living room. She went to his desk to look for more manuscripts, seeing another note with her name on it.

Nice try I moved them ;) - HRD

She shook her head, chuckling as she slipped the note in her pocket with the other one. She found her coat folded neatly over the couch with her shoes on the floor next to it. She sighed, putting them on before leaving the apartment, locking up as she did.

***

Grace sighed as she pulled into her driveway after picking up her car from the bar. She entered the house seeing Tyler was waiting for her. "Hi."

He stood up from the couch, "hi? That's it? Where the fuck have you been?! Why haven't you answered your phone?"

She shrugged, pulling her phone out of her pocket to see it was dead. "I fell asleep at my desk at work and forgot to plug my phone in."

He approached her, backing her up against the wall as his face began to turn red with anger. “Were you sleeping with Ransom?!"

She groaned, "how many times do I have to tell you that Ransom and I are not having sex."

"How am I supposed to believe that when you don't come home?!"

She rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. "How many times have you not come home and claimed to have fallen asleep at work? Are you claiming that never happened? Feeling guilty Tyler?"

Tyler huffed, balling his hands into fists at his sides. "It isn't about me right now! Fuck!"

Grace didn't have time to react as he pulled his fist back, hitting a hole in the wall next to her head. "What the fuck Tyler!" She pushed him out of her way, running to the bedroom as she felt her heart about to beat out of her chest. She changed her clothes quickly, coming out to find Tyler sitting back on the couch. "Don't you have work?"

He stood up, nodding, "yeah. I'm sorry about the wall. I'm going back out of town for the week."

"What?!" She watched him ignore her as he left the house, leaving her standing alone in the living room, staring at the hole in the wall.

megarox as taylor swift lyrics

because it’s my duty as a taylor swift fan to link whatever couple i obsess over with my favorite singer’s lyrics

if you don’t like tswift feel free to ignore tho

I find it dizzying, they’re bringing up my history but you weren’t even listening - Lavender Haze

So you were never a saint and I’ve loved in shades of wrong, we learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts // You’re my Achilles heel, this is the golden age of something good and right and real - State of Grace

You’ve ruined my life by not being mine

And I’m so furious at you for making me feel this way

Ocean blue eyes looking in mine, I feel like I might sink and drown and die

You make me so happy it turns back to sad, there’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have, you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad

- Gorgeous

You say that we’ll just screw it up in these trying times, we’re not trying

Said “I’m fine” but it wasn’t true, I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

“I love you”, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard? He looks up grinning like a devil

- Cruel Summer

And when we had that fight out in the rain, you ran after me and called my name, I never want to see you walk away - ME! (lbh this THE megarox duet)

I once was poison ivy, but now I’m your daisy

And baby, for you, I would fall from grace just to touch your face, if you walk away, I’d beg you on my knees to stay

- Don’t Blame Me

Cursed the space that I needed; I trace the evidence, make it make some sense why the wound is still bleeding

You were the one that I loved, don’t need another metaphor, it’s simple enough

Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief in the good, in the world, you once believed in me, and I felt you and I held you for a while, bet I could still melt your world, argumentative antithetical dream girl

- Hits Different

Tell me that it’s not my fault, tell me that I’m all you want, even when I break your heart

Sorry that I hurt you; I don’t wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you; I don’t wanna lose, I don’t wanna lose this with you

- Afterglow

Flashback to my mistakes, my rebounds, my earthquakes, even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me - Dress

And it’s fine to fake it til you make it til you do, til it’s true (lol)

But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet, now I’m all for you Janet, can this be a real thing, can it?

Are we falling like snow at the beach? Weird but fuckin beautiful

- Snow On The Beach

This is the first time I’ve felt the need to confess, and I swear, I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian cause I care

You knew that I’m a mastermind, and now you’re mine, yeah all you did was smile, cause I’m a mastermind

- Mastermind

I want you for worse or for better, I would wait forever and ever; broke your heart? I’ll put it back together, I would wait forever and ever - How You Get The Girl

“He’s not all bad like his reputation”, and I can’t hear one single word they say

And I watch you fly around the world, and I hope you don’t save some other girl

I watch Superman fly away, you’ve got a busy day today, go save the world, I’ll be around forever and ever

- Superman

Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me, cause every time you smile, I smile, and everytime you shine, I’ll shine for you - Jump Then Fall

There you’ll stand, ten feet tall, I will say “I knew it all along”

There you’ll stand, next to me, all I want, the rest is history, your eyes wider than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction

- Sweeter Than Fiction

I once believed love would be burning red, but it’s golden like daylight

I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you, I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night, but now I see daylight, I only see daylight

- Daylight

#this is so long i’m sorry #megamind and roxanne #megamind #taylor swift #songs + ships

red (taylor's version)!!!

state of grace

so you were never a saint // and i loved in shades of wrong // we learn to live with the pain // mosaic broken hearts

red

his love was like // driving a new maserati down a dead-end street

treacherous

all we are is skin and bone // trained to get along // forever going with the flow // but you're friction

i knew you were trouble

I guess you didn't care and i guess i liked that // and when I fell hard, you took a step back

who's taylor swift anyway? ew

i almost do

and i confess, baby // in my dreams, you're touching my face // and asking me if i wanna try again with you // and i almost do

we are never ever getting back together

i'm really gonna miss you picking fights // and me falling for it, screaming that I'm right // and you would hide away and find your peace of mind // with some indie record that's much cooler than mine

stay stay stay

all those times that you didn't leave // it's been occurring to me // i'd like to hang out with you for my whole life

the last time

this is the last time you tell me i've got it wrong // this is the last time i say, It's been you all along // this is the last time i let you in my door // this is the last time, i won't hurt you anymore

holy ground

wе block the noise with the sound of i need you // and for thе first time, i had something to lose

sad beautiful tragic

in dreams, i meet you in warm conversation

the lucky one

they say you bought a bunch of land somewhere // chose the rose garden over madison square

everything has changed

and all i've seen since 18 hours ago // Is green eyes and freckles and your smile

starlight

he said, look at you, worrying too much about things you can't change // you'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way

begin again

i've been spending the last eight months // thinking all love ever does is break, and burn, and end // but on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

the moment i knew

and it was like slow motion // standing there in my party dress // in red lipstick // with no one to impress

come back... be here

the delicate beginning rush // the feeling you can know so much // without knowing anything at all

girl at home

call a cab, lose my number // you're about to lose your girl

better man

i hold onto this pride because these days it's all i have // and i gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that

nothing new

how long will it be cute // all this crying in my room? // when you can't blame it on my youth // and roll your eyes with affection

babe

what a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away

message in a bottle

but time moves faster // replaying your laughter // disaster

i bet you think about me

i bet you think about me when you say // oh my god, she's insane // she wrote a song about me

forever winter

too young to know it gets better // i’ll be summer sun for you forever

run

so you laugh like a child // and I'll sing like no one cares // no one to be no one to tell

the very first night

we never saw it coming // not trying to fall in love // but we did like children running

all too well

time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it // i’d like to be my old self again // but I'm still tryin' to find it

#graham answers #anon #this was a doozy but god does this album have some baller lines #send me an album!

hmmm death by a thousand cuts, long story short, the way I loved you, state of grace and dancing with our hands tied for the ask thingy!! I tried to go for a variety lol 🫶

DBATC:

my rating of the song: 10/10

my favourite lyric: i dress to kill my time / i take the long way home / i ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright / they say i don't know

what fictional character i associate w/ it: ben gross from never have i ever, mostly.

how the song makes me feel: i absolutely love this song and it makes me want to dance even though the lyrics are really emotional

Long Story Short:

my rating of the song: 7/10

my favourite lyric: if the shoe fits / walk in it / til your high heels break

what fictional character i associate w/ it: matthew fairchild

how the song makes me feel: alright. sometimes i like it because of matthew, but the song doesn't do much for me otherwise (i consider it evermore's weakest link) and other songs do a better job of reminding me of matthew (even within evermore... gold rush? happiness? it's time to go???)

The Way I Loved You:

my rating of the song: 9/10

my favourite lyric: i miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain / it's 2 AM and i'm cursing your name / i'm so in love that i acted insane / and that's the way i loved you

what fictional character i associate w/ it: so like. my god you'll kill me lmao it screams tid tessa @ will to me, especially when she's engaged to jem. it's obvious that her heart's still stuck on will to me.

how the song makes me feel: i love wessa. that's it, that's the feeling. but also like, a little bit nostalgic for my youth too because it was my favourite song on fearless when the album first came out

State of Grace:

my rating of the song: 9/10

my favourite lyric: so you were never a saint / and i loved in shades of wrong / we learn to live with the pain / mosaic broken hearts

what fictional character i associate w/ it: tessa, once again at will

how the song makes me feel: i really love this song and it reminds me of being in high school when red was released. i was so happy to hear it because i hadn't really loved the singles (though they were okay), and i was like "huh! maybe this will be a good album!"

Dancing With Our Hands Tied:

my rating of the song: 8/10

my favourite lyric: i loved you in spite of / deep fears that the world would divide us / so baby can we dance / through an avalanche

what fictional character i associate w/ it: i don't really associate it with a character so much as a person that i knew irl in high school, but i could make a solid argument for matthew and i love him more than anything, so.

how the song makes me feel: nostalgic as fuck

hey! wild child sounds really interesting, I may have to watch it! 🤔 as for today’s question, let me ask: what are your top 5 taylor songs? give me details on why! 🎅

hi anon! thanks <3

top 5 is hard because i havent done a formal sorter since post evermore, and so much has changed. so im gonna try and throw something tg

state of grace - i dont think a song can ever top it because to me its so taylor-esque and has that country-pop-rock sound that i love from her "so you were never a saint and i loved in shades of wrong, we learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts, but this love is brave and wild" changed the course of my life

august - this song alters my brain chemistry the moment i hear "salt air" at the time i first heard the song i only ever felt like i was august, not in the literal sense but felt mentally discarded by people. the hook "remember when i pulled up and said 'get in the car', ..." is mind-boggling, life-changing, one of a kind songwriting

you're on your own, kid - this was an instant favorite off of midnights. though this song is custom to taylor's experience, there are moments where i know we can all see ourselves. growing up is hard and the world sucks so it fits to a lot of people. the production slow build into a triumphant end feels so right. my mom always said to me how i need to by my own biggest fan, and how i am the only one that is always there with me, every step of the way. it is hard to live by that every day, forget every month, year, etc, but that's why yoyok means to much to me. "i hosted parties and starved my body like i'd be saved by a perfect kiss" still makes me want to tear up every time.

blank space - the hottest pop babe of the catalogue. cruel summer's chaotic older sister that needs to be bailed out of jail. black space is pop perfection, and the blank space/style/ootw trio is one of the most powerful pop tracklisting I've experienced in my listening life, and i think its the best trio of tracklisting in taylor's catalogue. i would love to sing this karaoke one day, but you need to COMMIT to the part. "and you'll come back each time you leave, 'cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream" like??? how the fuck was this allowed, this is the sexiest lyric ever. it is hot but instills the fear of life into you.

champagne problems - this song is the saddest tune i love to listen on repeat. this essence of, 'am i the girl who's 'fucked in the head'? will i ruin someone else's life because i cannot commit? am i doomed to this being my reality one day?' is why i come back to it. the piano is gorgeous, lyrics devastating, and has that direct storytelling that i love from taylor. "your midas touch on the chevy door, November flush and your flannel cure, 'this dorm was once a mad house,' i made a joke 'well, it's made for me,' how evergreen our group of friends don't think we'll ever say that word again, and soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through: one for the money, two for the show, i never was ready so i watched you go; sometimes you just don't know the answer till someones on his knees and asks you.. 'she would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she'd fucked in the head,' they said but you'll find the real thing instead.. she'll patch up your tapestry that i shred"... you get the picture...

honorable mentions in no particular order: i knew you were trouble, i know places, the lakes, cruel summer, 'tis the damn season, love story, and call it what you want

the folkevermore songs have such a tight grip on me is what i learned from this

also you asked for details so i absolutely wanted to give 'em. thank u bestie.

Favorite Taylor Swift lyrics

Specifically TS because honestly my favorite lyrics are all Lorde, maybe one Halsey. In no particular order:

Death By A Thousand Cuts

My heart, my hips, my body, my love, try'na find a part of me that you didn't touch, gave up on me like I was a bad drug now I'm searching for the signs in a haunted club, our songs, our films, united we stand, our country, guess it was a lawless land, quiet my fears with the touch of your hand, paper cut stings from my paper thin plans, my time, my wine, my spirit, my trust, try'na find a part of me you didn't take up, gave you so much but it wasn't enough, but I'll be alright it's just a thousand

cuts

champagne problems

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door, November flush and your flannel cure, this dorm was once a madhouse, I made a joke, "well it's made for me" how evergreen our group of friends don't think we'll say that word again, and soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through, one for the money, two for the show, I never was ready so I watched you go, sometimes you just don't know the answer 'till someone's on their knees and asks you, "she would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head," they said, but you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that I shred and hold your hand while dancing, never leave you standing, crestfallen on the landing, with champagne problems

State of Grace

So you were never a saint, and I loved in shades of wrong, we learned to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts, but this love is brave and wild, and I never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same, this is a state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight, love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right, these are the hands of fate, you're my Achilles heel, this is the golden age of something good and right and real

Don't Blame Me

For you I would fall from grace just to touch your face

Out Of The Woods

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? Twenty stitches in the hospital room, when you started crying baby I did too, when the sun came up I was looking at you, remember when we couldn't take the heat? I walked out, I said "setting you free" but the monsters turned out to be just trees, when the sun came up you were looking at me

This Love

Your kiss, my cheek, I watched you leave, your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees, when you're young you just run, but you come back to what you need

Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince

American glory faded before me / American stories burning before me

Cruel Summer

I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar, said "I'm fine" but it wasn't true, I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you and I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate, I scream for whatever it's worth, "I LOVE YOU" AIN'T THAT THE WORST THING YOU EVER HEARD? He looks up grinning like a devil it's–

Wonderland

You searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had and in the end in Wonderland we both went mad

You Are In Love

And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars, and why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

'Cause you can hear it in the silence

State of Grace

an: This is my first time in a while, writing for something that is not Criminal Minds. This is also my first time ever, writing anything based on a song. But I am really excited for this piece. I hope y'all enjoy! words: 1.25 k warnings: military mentions, mentions of a rocky relationship, some fighting (verbal)

“I’m walking fast through the traffic lights/Busy streets and busy lives/And all we know is touch and go/We are alone with our changing minds/We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time.”

You found yourself in a throng of people, the downtown core was busier than you remembered it, and when the traffic lights changed, the crowd moved at a pace that could only be described as sluggish. You fought hard with yourself not to hurry past the people—too many to actually make progress anyways. As cars rushed past on the boulevard, you watched as the palm trees swayed just that much more. You had been stationed off-base for the last year, and you were happy to be back home. The salty air met your lungs, and instantly you felt more at home. Since your return to joint base Pearl Harbor—Hickam, you had been having a little trouble with readjustment but, you had also been promoted from lieutenant to commander—something you had been working hard for in all your years of service. Stuck in the middle of the crowd, you almost walked right past the police department, exactly where you were headed for a meeting with Commander McGarrett.

“So you were never a saint/And I loved in shades of wrong/We learn to live with the pain/Mosaic broken hearts/But this love is brave and wild.”

Your relationship with Steve—if you could even call it that—was basically on the rocks. He was constantly busy with work, and he would stay late at the office most nights, but even when he was home, he was withdrawn, and the two of you didn’t even spend that much time together. He wasn’t a saint but, he never claimed to be. One thing the two of you had discussed before even embarking on your relationship was that work came first—always for both of you. You had known Steve for a long time; you actually met him during his relationship with Catherine—the first time. You had become friends, but your feelings turned more romantic not long after establishing your friendship, but with him in a relationship, you had to keep them hidden. Still, you stuck by his side through the whole thing. Their relationship became official, then him getting the ring, to her declining his proposal and their subsequent breakup. It was hard, but early on, you decided you’d rather have him in your life as a friend than not at all. Constantly feeling like the only thing holding your heart together was scotch tape was exhausting. All of that changed about a year and a bit after their breakup. Steve had asked you out for coffee—something the two of you did together often—but he made it clear that it was intended as a date. You were over the moon, but that didn’t stop you from hesitating. Were you a rebound? Had he figured out your secret? Could he tell just how bad you wanted this? If he figured it out, as he only asking out of pity? What if this date messes up the friendship? If this ends badly, will we still be able to be friends?

Still, you agreed. And saying yes felt like the best decision of your life. And not long after the first, after a few more dates, the two of you became exclusive—making the decision not to see other people, not that you were because every time you tried, you compared them to him. The relationship started off great, but as it went on, you felt something change, and you weren’t sure if he sensed it too. Recently, it was like no matter what you did, it set him off, and you couldn’t understand why so, instead of staying at his place like you had planned, you returned home to your apartment. After a shower and a small snack, you were in bed, ready to sleep away the day. But as you lay there staring at the wall, trying to fall asleep, your eyes kept drifting to the picture on your nightstand of the two of you. It was taken at one of his backyard barbecues. You were standing together, his arm around your waist in a half-hug, the pair of you laughing at something you had said—you can’t remember what it was. Without Steve there, your bed felt too cold, and as you fell asleep, the longing in your heart only grew.

“This is a state of grace/This is the worthwhile fight/Love is a ruthless game/Unless you play it good and right.”

Love is a ruthless game. It’s harrowing in the worst times, but the best times’ feelings outweigh all of it. After spending the night alone, waking up in the morning was a strange feeling, especially since you had gotten used to being together. As you turned on your coffee maker, a knock echoed through your apartment, startling you. Pulling Steves sweater tighter around you, you made your way to the door. Undoing the chain, deadbolt, and lock, you swung the door open. Steve stood on your porch, bouquet in one hand, the other raised and ready to knock again. His hand quickly dropped, and he gave you a sheepish smile, which turned genuine as he took in the sight of you wearing his sweater.

“Can I come in?” He asked.

Wordlessly, you moved to the side and waved him inside. After locking the door behind him, you made your way back to the kitchen, and he followed behind you silently. Putting the pod in, you started on the coffee. As soon as your hands were free, he handed you the bouquet, consisting of your favourite flowers—a sweet gesture and something you weren’t expecting. It had been years since you received flowers. Wordlessly, you handed him the first mug of coffee and then put in a new pod for yourself. He thanked you. The two of you leaned against the counter, the silence heavy, but neither one was sure if they should break it. Then, just as you were about to say something, your phone rang. And after a short conversation with the caller, you knew you had to break the silence with Steve.

“Steve…” You started, but he interrupted.

Shaking his head, he said, “Let me. Y/n I’m sorry for how I’ve been acting the past little while. I’m not sure what happened but I think I got scared.”

“Scared of what?”

Tugging at his collar, he cleared his throat before answering you. “Scared at where we go from here. I’ve been down this road before and it didn’t end well. I don’t know that I would be able to go through that with you. You mean a lot to me.”

“Well, if you get scared again, just talk to me. That’s what I’m here for and we’re in this together. You mean more to me than you know Steve, and I would never want to do anything to jeopardize that. And we only need to go as fast as we’re ready for, ’cause I’m not going anywhere.” You said with a soft but guarded smile, the news you just received on the forefront of your mind.

“So, who called?”

“That was my captain. I’m getting shipped out again.”

“Where? When?”

“I can’t say, it’s classified. We’re being deployed Thursday and I have to report to base at 0700.”

He moved, so you were now standing chest-to-chest and then wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a hug. In turn, you wrapped your arms tighter around him, head resting against his heart, soothing you. The room was silent again, but I was comfortable this time. You felt the rumble of his chest as he whispered into your hair softly, “Please be safe and come back to me.” You pulled away only far enough to kiss him comfortably, and then you looked into his eyes, saying determinately,

“I will try. This is worth fighting for. Our love, it’s worth fighting for.”

omg i'm so glad to meet a fellow swiftie faye x spike shipper, i have so many songs for them and would love to know yours? for me it's cowboy like me as number one because ofc but also willow, delicate, come in with the rain, this love, end game, the archer, daylight, this is me trying... i could go on. she has so many lyrics about calling someone's bluff or showing your hand...

So many of these are the ones on my list too! You're absolutely right that a lot of her songs are about calling someone's bluff! She honestly has so many and Cowboy Bebop has such an open ending that I actually have different songs depending on what ending you wanna go with.

Willow, Delicate, Endgame, The Archer, Cowboy Like Me, Daylight and This Is Me Trying are all songs I absolutely agree with. I didn't think of Come In With The Rain but upon a relisten I realize why it fits!

I'm sorry in advance cuz I'm serious when I say this list is gonna be long:

If This Were A Movie is one of those songs that I feel would take place in an interim. Say Spike disappears or dies and it's from Faye's POV. The betrayal she feels that he left (because she would feel betrayed that he left instead of staying with the family they made and she'd probably feel that way for a long time until she realizes he did it to protect them) and wanting him to come back.

Sparks Fly I like to think of from Spike's POV. The guy is a hopeless romantic and I feel it's definitely the kind of song that would fit his thoughts for Faye post series when he's hopelessly in love with her. He'd definitely love her eyes and think her smile is beautiful. I can't not see it from his POV.

I Don't Wanna Live Forever is also a song that I listened to again while typing this and I feel both Zayn and Taylor's parts fit Spike and Faye's thoughts respectively since Faye has a habit of running off and Spike does too when his past catches up to him.

Breathe is another one of those songs that I feel is more angsty in the scenario that Spike takes some time coming back to the Bebop or, again, if he dies.

How You Get The Girl doesn't fit them fully but it's more of one of my minds scenarios of how Spike would have to lowkey grovel to win back Faye. I think she'd take him leaving as a pretty hard betrayal even if she'd go after him to help so he'd have to admit the truth of his feelings before she'd open up her heart to him again.

This Love you already mentioned but I wanna talk about it a little cuz THIS SONG is my ideal for them. It's Faye letting Spike go and Spike coming back to her because of course he would! When he said he wasn't going there to die he meant it and if he fights to come back it's for her sake and for the sake of his Bebop family!

I also feel it fits really nicely with Spike's POV too. He let's his love for Julia go and love comes back to him in the form of the Bebop crew as his family but also in the form of Faye who is just as damaged as him but loves him back this time and is someone who will stay.

You Are In Love has a lot of the aesthetics I feel are about Spike and Faye. Just moments in the dark under dim lights where they let down their guard and don't realize until one day it just kind of hits them how much they care and see the other as Their Person™. Especially the second verse. I feel like that's a very Spike sort of verse. Just waking up in the middle of the night struck with the realization of how much Faye means to him and he doesn't have to say he realized he loves her but she knows and that's enough for them both for that moment.

State of Grace is another one of my favorites for them! I'm just gonna show you some of the lyrics to illustrate what I mean.

So you were never a Saint / And I've loved in shades of wrong / We learn to live with the pain / Mosaic broken hearts /But this love is brave and wild

And I never (never) saw you coming / And I'll never (never) be the same

My favorite thing about Spike is that he never expects to fall in love with Faye he just does. She enters his life and forces him to wake up and no matter what he can't go back to the way he used to be so this song from his perspective is absolutely them too. The Mosaic broken hearts also applies to Faye and her scam of a relationship with Whitney but the song as a whole is about how Love is ruthless and a risk but Spike would definitely see falling in love with Faye as a worthwhile fight even if he's been burned before.

Treacherous is a Faye song. She knows falling for Spike is a bad idea but can't help it anyway.

I can't decide if it's a choice / Getting swept away / I hear the sound of my own voice / Asking you to stay / And all we are is skin and bone / Trained to get along / Forever going with the flow / But you're friction

She's someone used to going with the flow and having a good time and she clashes with Spike but that flow leads her to fall for him too cuz he is someone who gives her something she's longed for and I genuinely believe a masochistic part of her enjoys the hurt she feels when she perceives her love to be unrequited. I say perceived as unrequited cuz we both know that's BS and that Spike does love her back.

Renegade is sort of the inverse to Treacherous tho. Faye isn't the kind of person to just take Spike's shit especially him walking out just lying down. One of the things I love about her is how ferociously she holds on to her dignity cuz it's all she has so while Treacherous is one aspect of Faye falling in love, Renegade is what I imagine her thoughts would be before letting Spike actually charm her into a relationship.

Are you really gonna talk about timin', in times like these? / And let all your damage, damage me? / And carry your baggage up my street? / And make me your future history?

You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody

At the end of the show Faye is well on her way to sorting out her baggage about her past and she's right when she confronts Spike that he's the one who can't let go of his. Spike is someone who intrinsically needs someone to love and be loved back even tho he tries to hide and I think Faye would know this but also refuse to comply unless Spike proves to her that he's gonna make the effort sorting out his conflicted feelings about his past the same way she is doing with hers.

Is it insensitive for me to say / "Get your shit together, so I can love you?"/ Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything / Or do you just not want to?

I feel like these lyrics also highlight her insecurity rather than just an ultimatum too so I think it also applies to Faye who wants to feel like she's worth Spike's time too and what better proof of that could he give her than making an effort to start living in the present? She wants to love him but she wants to know she'll be loved back in the same way because she's so very deeply lonely too.

Dancing With Our Hands Tied is another song that makes me think of Faye and how she came to love life on the Bebop especially Spike. She found belonging but a part of her was always scared it wouldn't last hence she keeps tuning running away and she knows something big is gonna hit hence the bad feeling. She denies it as long as she can but naturally it catches up.

I Think He Knows just makes me think of Spike and Faye's general back and forth and their veiled attempts at flirting.

Red is versatile to fit plenty of ships, let's be real so it's no surprise it can fit Spike and Faye too. The way she loves him, loses him, misses him. It's one of my favorites cuz of how descriptive it is about loving and losing someone so it works for them!

Daylight is another song you mentioned but I also wanna talk about it cuz all of it! Every single line is just so Spike! He learns so much about love and himself after meeting Faye. He thinks Julia is the first and last person for him until he meets Faye and she's so different and he begins to think clearly for the first time in years about his past and what is yet to come. I think the first verse in itself is just such a perfect summary.

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in / Everyone looked worse in the light / There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven / I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye

Spike's a cruel person with how cold he can be. And his past with the syndicate especially is. He's done so many horrible things and in retrospect it all looks worse but if there's one thing Spike never does it's lie to Faye. He lies to her in ways to push her away and he'll even tell the truth about himself for that purpose but he never can tell her to leave and she grows on him. Every time he almost goes off to his death he says other things but he doesn't say goodbye even when he's expecting to die.

And finally,

Willow. I won't say much about this song except it can fit from both sides. Spike and Faye both try to say a lot of things to hide the truth of themselves but they're also remarkable at reading each other because of it and the "every bait and switch was a work of art" line fits them especially beautifully when you realize their teasing and fighting artfully brought them together instead of keeping the other away like they were hoping.

Yikes this got really long 😅 I can ramble on and on about these songs and more for ages but I believe it's your turn. I would love to hear your thoughts about these songs or others you have in mind and how you interpret them for Spike and Faye! I'd also really love to hear more detailed thoughts on the songs you've already mentioned too cuz like I said I 100% agree and if I wasn't embarrassed about how long this post has gotten already I'd say more about them too 😂

#Spike x Faye #Cowboy bebop #Spaye #ace of hearts #Spike Spiegel #Faye Valentine #Taylor swift #Spaye x Taylor Swift
