Blank Space (T. Swift) // The Great Gatsby (F. Scott)
Nice to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things Magic, madness, heaven, sin Saw you there and I thought Oh my God, look at that face You look like my next mistake Love's a game, wanna play?
Taylor Swift
“I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
New money, suit and tie I can read you like a magazine Ain't it funny, rumors fly And I know you heard about me So hey, let's be friends I'm dying to see how this one ends Grab your passport and my hand I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
Taylor Swift
"The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty."
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
“I think he killed a man."
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Cherry lips, crystal skies I could show you incredible things Stolen kisses, pretty lies
Taylor Swift
“Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered “Listen,” a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Find out what you want Be that girl for a month Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms I can make all the tables turn Rose garden filled with thorns Keep you second guessing like "Oh my God, who is she?" I get drunk on jealousy But you'll come back each time you leave 'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Taylor Swift
“There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
'Cause we're young and we're reckless We'll take this way too far It'll leave you breathless Or with a nasty scar
Taylor Swift
“It takes two to make an accident."
"Suppose you meet somebody just as careless as yourself?"
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane But I've got a blank space, baby And I'll write your name
Taylor Swift
“It excited him that many men had already loved Daisy-- it increased her value in his eyes. (...) He knew that Daisy was extraordinary, but he didn’t realize just how extraordinary a “nice” girl could be. She vanished into her rich house, into her rich, full life, leaving Gatsby-- nothing."
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
