Frankenstein characters x folklore lyrics

Somebody tell me why every significant character in Frankenstein 1818 can be summed up with lyrics from taylor swift's folklore album because this is NOT okay.

victor: "I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere / fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here" (this is me trying)

the creature: "and I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want / just not home / and you can aim for my heart, go for blood / but you would still miss me in your bones" (my tears ricochet)

henry: "don't want no other shade of blue but you / no other sadness in the world would do" (hoax)

robert: "only twenty minutes to sleep / but you dream of some epiphany / just one single glimpse of relief / to make some sense of what you've seen" (epiphany)

elizabeth: "I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me" (mirrorball)

justine: "I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best / but the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me" (peace)

I originally had a rant here about mad woman and Elizabeth's reaction to Justine's conviction too but I think that deserves its own post atp

ive been having a hard time adjusting

i had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting

i didn't know if you'd care if i came back;

i have a lot of regrets about that

pulled the car off the road to the lookout

could've followed my fears all the way

and maybe i don't quite know what to say

but im here in your doorway

and i just wanted you to know

that this is me trying

i just wanted you to know

that this is me trying

they told me all of my cages were mental

so i got wasted like all my potential

and my words shoot to kill when im mad

i have a lot of regrets about that

i was so ahead of the curve,

the curve became a

but i didn't pour the whiskey

And I've been meaning to tell you

I think your house is haunted

Your dad is always mad and that must be why.

March 13th

What should be over burrowed under my skin

In heart-stopping waves of hurt.

~ The lakes from Folklore

[stoicallyshi]

"But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young

I knew I'd curse you for the longest time

Chasin' shadows in the grocery line

I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

And you'd be standin' in my front porch light

And I knew you'd come back to me."

January 25th

Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"

And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?

Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

"Meet me behind the mall".

~ August
