╳ wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking LESS of me ? that's what she asked me, what was promised, what we both agreed. truthfully if you ever go, you'll drop me STRAIGHT to hell's seventh circle. ✕ —— TASK 002. PLAYLIST
INSIGHT:
taeil’s playlist is actually very light in some ways and very deep in other ways. his playlist on spotify which is linked via the header INSIGHT above actually has 28 songs, but i picked 10 that stand out the most for him ! and trust me, that wasn’t easy OTL. anyway, a lot of his songs have to do with how light his past was verses how heavy his present is. taeil is a very homesick and sad boy who never really realized that life alone wasn’t going to be like what he writes in his stories. he can write a fairytale on paper — but why don’t they come true in real life? GENRE: mostly folk/country. no triggers !

EXPLANATION:
005. i can’t love you back — easton corbin | lyric: i could love you with all my heart, but the hardest part is i just can't love you back.
uhhhh this is a country song and i personally feel like a lot of country music fits taeil’s aesthetic and that he would also like it ! that’s besides the point, i feel like this song is definitely a deal breaker for him. it basically talks about someone loving someone so much and doing so much for them to prove it but that person is already gone, and they’re not coming back despite it all. i think this really fits taeil for A LOT of reasons, namely how he always seems to fall in love with something or someone that he knows he will never have no matter how much effort he puts into the situation. taeil always puts his heart into things and, well, a lot of the time, that’s a big mistake.
010. long live — taylor swift | lyric: singing long live all the mountains we moved. i had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.
i always always always always include this song on taeil’s playlists because this is his and his brother’s song for sure. they were almost inseparable and honestly still are. the song may talk about a couple, idk, but from taeil’s point of view, the song is about two best friends ( or siblings in his case ) that basically take on the world together through everything and, at the end, taylor says “promise you’ll stand by me forever but if god forbid fate should step in” that the other party will never forget her, and will tell all their kids/family/etc about the things they did when they were together. this definitely applies to taeil in a lot of ways, as he hopes that, if one day he isn’t there or his brother moves on from the beautiful friendship they have, that he will tell everyone what taeil did for him and all the conquered together throughout their life together.
