Taylor Swift has done it again. She has come out with another fantastically powerful album. Entitled “1989,” the songs are well thought out and certainly worth listening to closely. Although it may contain reflections on her own romantic experiences, there are a handful of tracks that contain lyrics that everyone can relate to. After you check out this selection of lines from different tracks on the album, you will certainly understand why some (and I must admit that I am a part of this group) can listen to this album at least twice a day:
Track #2: Blank Space
I get drunk on jealousy but you’ll come back each time you leave ‘cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream
The line in this song really hits home one of the difficult issues Collegiettes face when it comes to relationships. It can be tough to send the right signals to a person. As a Collegiette, it is important to be consistent in your feelings and make sure you are not leading someone on only to drop them in the end. It can also be hard to see that person with someone else, but if your romantic moment is only a one time deal, you need to establish what you want in order to avoid major confusion and, more importantly, a broken heart.
Track #7: I Wish You Would
We’re a crooked love in a straight line downMakes you want to run and hide but it made us turn right back around
Again, Taylor is relaying that instability in a relationship can be difficult to manage. She certainly has experienced it, as have others. Instability can lead to the end of a relationship, but remember if it is meant to be, it will be! Keep calm, Collegiettes and just take each day at a time.
Track #8: Bad Blood
Band aids don’t fix bullet holes. You say sorry just for show. If you live like that you live with ghosts…
Ever been stood up by a guy or girl who never commits to plans they made to begin with? One time around the change in plans could be considered justifiable. However, when it occurs on a more consistent basis, it can start to really hurt. They may make up for bailing on you with a meal or two and perhaps consistent apologies. But, to quote a fellow Collegiette: “They can only take you out to dinner so many times before the apology loses meaning.”
Track #13: Clean
Just because you’re clean don’t mean that you miss it
Ending a toxic relationship can be similar to trying to quit an unhealthy habit. It is tough to let go, and it is easy to say you want to get back with your ex. There certainly were some good times in your relationship, but are they enough to outweigh the moments that led to the end? Remember, Collegiettes: you are all worth more than any individual who does not respect you.
