Never, Ever!

My almost-teenaged daughter loves pop-country artist Taylor Swift. Her latest CD, "Red," is on the frequent playlist at our house lately.

Okay, I'll admit it: I love this artist, too! She’s hugely talented and tells great stories through her sassy songs. She has written some wonderful tunes.

If you’ve read this blog for a while you know I like to identify the astrological symbols and issues at play in films and TV. So now we’re going to add songs, too, just for fun!

Here's one about a girl in a double-bodied situation, trying to muster some fixity. I’ve blogged about the difficulties of the double-bodied signs before (see “The Double-Bodied Dilemma”). Notice how hard she's trying to talk herself into a firm decision. Good luck with that, sweetie! ;)

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

Songwriters: Taylor Swift / Max Martin / Johan Shellback

Lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

I remember when we broke up the first time

Saying, "This is it, I've had enough, " 'cause like

We hadn't seen each other in a month

When you said you needed space. (What?)

Then you come around again and say

"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."

Remember how that lasted for a day?

I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you."

Ooh, we called it off again last night

But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever ever getting back together,

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Like, ever...

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights

And me falling for it screaming that I'm right

And you would hide away and find your peace of mind

With some indie record that's much cooler than mine

Ooh, you called me up again tonight

But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

I used to think that we were forever ever

And I used to say, "Never say never..."

Uggg... so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you,"

And I'm like... "I just... I mean this is exhausting, you know, like,

We are never getting back together. Like, ever"

No!

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

We, ooh, getting back together, ohhh,

We, ooh, getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Clever girl, this one. The very next song on the CD is... "Stay stay stay"!

Here's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" on YouTube. Enjoy!
