hayley williams, oakland night 2

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE 5.10 — Game Night

taylor: 🖕

u cant make this up

what’s funny to me in all of this is that I would have NEVER thought Hayley would rollout an album with Tayley breakup songs via GDY and then confirm there was something going on between them during self titled era in a song AND THEN Taylor would ever subgram Hayley instead of reaching out to her privately to solve their issues. like I genuinely thought I understood their online presences and it turned out I should expect the unexpected 😭

right? like wtf timeline are we in rn

i now have a new interpretation of “liar” - the “i lied to you but you always knew the truth” lyrics now feel more literal knowing that taylor straight up asked her if she ever thought about him and her together. she probably lied and said no

OH………….

I agree with you on Disappearing Man and the parallels with the songs in FFV which suggest he maybe had to take a break for a bit. So she had to let him go, and surrender to him needing that space (showing her love for him), and hope that he’d come back and they’d be able to reunite. Which he did in the end! She does sing ‘yeah we made it’ I think too, so that’s more optimistic as well.

yeah and also it ties into what she said in her email about find me here too

theory: many of the songs are not about a current situation, but the past instead. looking back at songs off PFA and FFV, it feels like there's a lot of similar themes and fills in some blanks too that were still missing.

sudden desire // hard: i've seen others say this too, but it feels like she's telling us what happened outside his house

hayley has also often talked about how she was trying to sabotage the relationship at the start, how she was always trying to find smth wrong as she was used to that being "love" for her, in which we got songs like 'why we ever' and majority of FFV. on 'whim' it feels like she's talking to herself about that.

there's also the theme of how tough hayley feels she had to be. on 'pure love' she talks about how she has to stop being so tough, which she talks about on 'hard' too and also her fear of abandonment.

another thing that i feel like we never heard more about was hayley, on FFV mentioning taylor choosing his fear over her, disappearing, etc, but she doesn't really expand on it much in that album, but 'HYD' is the best example, as well as 'over those hills.' if you then look at 'disappearing man' i feel like it fits with these songs.

finally, i know we were all going insane over the lyric about the house, but i remember on 'good grief' she mentioned packing up his things, which also confused ppl back then too. on 'why we ever' she talks about a similar theme of being at home, alone with her thoughts, which she also talks about on 'negative self talk.'

anyway. that's my new theory, just for anyone who wants to hold onto some hope. i'd add more examples but picture limit lol, and feel free to contribute if you want!
