I will say that one example for all is Abba's "Mamma Mia" which I interpreted the beginning of chorus "Mamma mia, we are collagen" and the beginning of the second part of it "He'll something broken hardly". Don't ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.

That one Taylor Swift song about being Starbucks Lovers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Blank Space. And she does have a 'lovely Starbucks lovers', as least as I first heard it. For anyone who doesn't know, it's actually a 'long list of ex lovers'.

Holy shit... Are you telling me it's not "gotta love those Starbucks lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane?"

I have a serious problem with understanding lyrics in songs. I look them up when I don't quite understand what is being said and I realize I didn't even fully comprehend half of the verses to begin with. It's like musical dyslexia or something.

It's really common, it's not just you. Singers sing much more indistinctly than they talk, and it's common enough it's been given a name.

Omg. I thought I was the only one that heard that!

Even on Taylor's Version, it still sounds like "Starbucks Lovers".
