I was off the globe and watching from afar but Pearl's blog about Taylor prodded or maybe kinda "provoked" me into writing an entry about Taylor's VMA performance.
A LOT of people said that Taylor NEEDS to get over things that happened a year ago and that Kanye already got what he deserves blah blah blah...
But if you were to listen to her lyrics closely, it is NOT about her not forgiving Kanye for what he did, but the contrary actually. (what's with the so many "not"s?! @__@)
Taylor HAD forgiven him and wrote a song for Kanye to encourage him to be who he is and start afresh. This song is also to tell people to not hate Kanye for what he did and that he is still an innocent.
I think maybe Taylor is TOO famous or infamous for her boyfriend break up songs that people actually misunderstood that she hasn't gotten over the mike snatching incident last year.
Innocent - Taylor Swift
I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
There's some things you can't speak of
But tonight you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you would sing what you know now then
Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never to late to
Be brand new
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
The VMA this year wasn't her best performance BUT she wasn't all out of tune, her voice just sounded strained. T^T
I love the chorus, it's really nice. At LEAST she didn't write a hate song about Kanye. I don't think she hates him but actually kinda respects him for being fearless and jumping on the stage to get the mike for her to voice out his beliefs. =D
Me like to thank Pearl for "forcing" me to write a post...HAHA! XD I wouldn't have written anything — for who knows how long — if I didn't read her post~
