THREE Halsey songs called “Letter to God”????
if time is a healer, is there a waiting list I can find? I thought I would be oh-so whole again…I miss me too —> oh, so where did I go? do you even wanna know? are you sure you wanna know?
Gracie's "Close to You" sounds like a Lorde song (affectionate)
I don’t think the verses of How Did It End are telling us how it ended, because the main bone of contention that we see over and over throughout the rest of the album—marriage—is nowhere to be seen. I think the verses are doing the same thing the chorus is doing, echoing the public’s own theories back at us: she wanted to be more open to the world and he wanted to lock her away! he was a hothouse flower to my outdoorsman. things just don’t work out sometimes, nobody did anything wrong! we learned the right steps to different dances. he probably cheated! and fell victim to interlopers’ glances.
so take my pockets, take me whole. take my life and take my soul. wrap me in a wedding ring. you know I swear I'd give you anything
came across Rose Betts' "Song to the Siren" on one of my playlists and realized I haven't been listening to it on repeat as I should

I think that I should try to kill my ego, 'cause if I don't my ego might kill me

The Only Love Songs Taylor Ever Wrote in 3/4 Time:
and what seemed like fate, give it ten months and you'll be past it
the fact that all pop songs are about on-again off-again love triangles is endlessly disturbingly fascinating to me. why is your love interest's ex always a character in the song. why are you always trying to get back together with your ex or watching your ex get back together with their ex. I am begging our songwriters to break up for good, expand their social circles, and date someone new
