Off-Broadway Dave - Mean (Dave's Version) (Homestuck Parody of "Mean (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift)
okay im not gonna lie i really like this
im no tswift by any means though and i know that
im sure everyone will be totally normal
(lyric edit by me, below the cut)
[Verse 1]
You, with your literal knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothing
You, with your silent stares like a beacon
Faking me out in a strife now
You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Verse 2]
You, with your stupid shades
And your smuppet shit and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my eyes wide, trying not to hide
'Cause your puppet shit’s freaky
I just wanna feel okay for once
[Pre-Chorus]
I bet you got neglected too
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Bridge]
And I can see you now that I'm in the game
Laying limp on the cold hard ground
With that same smug, quiet judgement, but nobody's listening
Beat up and knocked down about being the hero again
And I’m a little sad about how I lost you
But all you are is mean
[Buildup]
All you are is mean
And a douchebag, and abusive
And alone in life, and mean
And mean, and mean, and mean
[Chorus]
But someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
I HAD TO BULLSHIT AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE TUMBLR DOESN'T FUCKING ALLOW IT WITHOUT SOME SORT OF INTERVENTION. ANYWAY, ENJOY YOUR DAVEKAT.
I GREATLY ENJOYED WORKING WITH @off-broadway-dave FOR ONCE IN MY SORRY EXCUSE OF A LIFE.

LYRICS BELOW THE CUT
It's pourin' in, you're laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends
You can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins
Aimin' so high, but swingin' so low
Tryna catch fire, but feelin' so cold
Hold it inside, and hope it won't show
I'm sayin' it's not, but inside I know
Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the -
Heavy is the crown
Turn to run, now look what it's become
Outnumbered, ten to one
Back then, should've bit your tongue
'Cause there's no turnin' back this path once it's begun
You're already on that list
Say you don't want what you can't resist
Wavin' that sword when the pen won't miss
Watch it all fallin' apart like this
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the -
Heavy is the crown
Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is
This is what you asked for
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

LYRICS:
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that we all have lost someone
So while you're here by my side
Let's make the most of the fight like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the fight like we're gonna die young

Young hearts, out our minds
Breath, blood, void and time
Thief of light, pop my hood
Stealing luck just like I should I’ll keep you watching like my vision eightfold (you know)
Misfortune’s patience staying right in my hold (for sure)
Fucking up the timeline tonight (oh yeah)
Take my hand, don’t you know that I can fly?
Living like we won’t be revived (uh huh)
Cause my irons are all in the fire
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that we all have lost someone
So while you're here by my side
Let's make the most of the fight like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die

Who likes to manipul8 ::::)
Cue ball, splattered blood
Leave it up to Lady Luck
It's pretty obvious that you've got a crush (you know)
But nobody said that it had to be flushed! (for sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)
Take my hand I'll show you the wild side
Gambling by the roll of the die (uh huh)
We'll keep falling till we fly (till we die...?!)
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that we all have lost someone
So while you're here by my side
Let's make the most of this fight cause we're gonna die young

LYRICS UNDER THE CUT, AS ALWAYS
How could I be so impulsive and disappoint?
Shaking me down to my core, I wish it was numb
Without a sound, now perish from a doomed timeline
Strider I don’t have the nerve, to give you up
(Listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Karkat listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Stay with me!)
Don’t you know that death gave us it’s mark
(Listen up!)
You can have my soul
(Karkat listen up!)
If it makes you whole
(Stay with me!)
It could save us from this doomed timeline
Now that I think of all the things
That I have done to you
Leave me I can’t stand this suffering
I’m not that strong
(Listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Karkat listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Stay with me!)
Don’t you know that death gave us it’s mark
(Listen up!)
You can have my soul
(Karkat listen up!)
If it makes you whole
(Stay with me!)
It could save us from this doomed timeline
I’m not that strong
(I’ve been playing a lie
There’s no win in sight)
I’m not that strong
Falling apart, doomed to die
Doomed to fail you, darling
On this cold game, wish there was another way
(All of this time
I can’t believe I couldn’t see
I was alone, and you were only there for me)
I have wasted a thousand opportunities
Got to open my mind to everything
(Without a breath, without some time, without a light
Don't let me die here
I know you’ll do what’s right)
I’m not that strong
(Listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Karkat listen up!)
I swear that I tried
(Stay with me!)
Don’t you know that death gave us it’s mark
(Listen up!)
You can have my soul
(Karkat listen up!)
If it makes you whole
(Stay with me!)
It could save us from this doomed timeline
I’m not that strong
(I’ve been playing a lie
There’s no win in sight)
I’m not that strong
Hello? Hellooooooooo? Is this thing working? Check, 1, 2 , 3. Ah, yes. Here we go! Okay! I know what you're thinking:
"Wow Vriska, Avril Lavigne totally made this song for you!"
And to that I'd say, you are sooooooo correct! That 8 in the title just SCREAMS Serket!"But OMG Vriska, who's the Sk8er Boi???" Whoever the hell you want!
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her
She'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along
And stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
no original lyrics just yet, but i'll still add them under the cut, just in case
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease
Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after happily
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease
And since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So i just might become someone
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease
