Ok now let's talk about my exam:
I pick a song called right where you left me by taylor swift
[Verse 1]
Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I, I'm right where you left me
[Pre-Chorus]
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but I sat and stared
[Chorus]
Right where you left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
[Verse 2]
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
How it was supposed to be
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me
[Bridge]
At the restaurant when I was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light, everything was just right
I, I could feel the mascara run
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on
[Pre-Chorus]
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
'Cause I'm right where I cause no harm
Mind my business
If our love died young
I can't bear witness
And it's been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong
[Chorus]
I'm right where
You left me
You left me no, oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me
You left me no, oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
What i think about The meaning of the song:
Taylor Swift’s “Right Where You Left Me” is a song about heartbreak. And it is Taylor who is portraying the role of the one who is in fact heartbroken. And as the lyrics detail, she has been left completely devastated by said event, even though it has seemingly transpired a considerable amount of time ago. Or as the songstress metaphorically puts it, she is still ‘right where her ex left her’. By the aforementioned statement, she is apparently alluding to the idea that, much to her chagrin, he dumped her. And even though she words the song as if she is physically at the same spot, such lyricism would logically be symbolic. Indeed what it is all meant to point back is to the idea that she is so emotional devastated that she has never, even to this very day, recuperated from being left behind by the man she loves. Or as Swift has poetically explained in her own words, time stopped moving for her once her sweetheart went away.
