Paris by Taylor Swift aka Maladaptive Daydreaming Part 1 and I Hate It Here aka Maladaptive Daydreaming part 2.

In part 1 she's make believing she's with her love, away from cameras where she can confess her truth and just hang out with them and be somewhere nicer than where she is while avoiding all the mess. In part 2 it's not just a few scenarios, she's built whole worlds away from reality where she can escape for most the year. In I Hate It Here she's not just dissatisfied with her life, she HATES her reality and is trying so hard to cope that the daydreaming has gotten worse. She's dealing with "ugly" emotions but wants to romanticize her life anyway where she can and loves that she still wants to do that, even while feeling all the emotions. Her fantasies give her the strength to power through until she can go back to its safety. I interpret the line "no mid size city hopes and small town fears" as her saying "yeah I wanted to be a singer and I was also scared of getting outed" bc I feel like getting outed is a common fear among small town gays when there's only a few of them and they date each other.

But anyway these songs have gay coded lyrics and I was thinking about how they connect together and it's really interesting.

although

i thought about you

when the rain

revealed itself 

on the pavement,

and i saw its

small spurts and bursts,

like painting or crying,

til it stopped abruptly,

and i almost said your

name out loud,

but only managed 

sighing.

i keep trying to forget,

but something just won't let me:

a thought, a dream i keep having

where you get a chance to see.

you don't say anything

because it's not necessary,

you just watch and see

and know it's me,

even though i no longer

wear my facial hair,

although my hair is longer now

although i wear glasses now

although i have boobs 

and although im fatter too -

although although although...

you know its me,

because for the first time

it's me you really see.

in my dream you look silently,

so i can't tell what you're feeling.

but i hope you feel guilty,

and i hope you feel scared;

and i keep looking in your eyes

so you have to keep pretending 

that i'm not there.

although im hard not to see

with my pink hair

and although i have my 

resting-bitch-face stare, 

although it looks like you don't care,

although although although...

you pretend i'm not there,

i know you pretend

because you're scared.

but then your figment fades away,

leaving me on the train

nursing past and present pain,

watching brief and feeble rain.

i keep trying to accept

but something just won't stop

this thought, this dream

where you got a chance to see.

although i look much lighter,

although i look like me,

although i look like how i wished,

although i am much more free,

although although although...

ive got almost everything,

yet i miss a world that never was,

a world where you got 

a chance to see.

[music-lyric-suggest]

You was strapped to the bottom of the barrel

Dirty bucket with some hefty new apparel

Frozen knuckles couldn't make it to the carol

Uncle Ruckus got addicted to payroll soon

We’ll get elixir from the pharaoh

Cupid shuffles to the rhythm of his arrow

Couldn't have me if he wanted why he stare oh?

Still shocked by how many Swifties don't even realize that "It's Nice To Have A Friend" is a love story. "Something gave you the nerve/to touch my hand" flies right over their heads. Right over. Then they realize, and their reaction is "oh, well it's obviously not about Taylor."

Or, they think all the verses are about different friends, that the song is about different types of friendships. Ignoring the fact that both the first and third verse reference the ground and snow, thereby subtlety connecting all three verses, and showing the progression of the story.

Very interesting that she was able to call her lover her friend, and they just grazed right over it, like "yup! She said friend, so clearly it's strictly platonic". Wonder what else she's got away with by using this language 🤔🤔

Let’s make a thread...

of queer music videos! They can be by queer artists, have a queer storyline, have queer lyrics, or just give you that Gay Feel™ Reblog and add your fav!

I’ll go first!
