"Blank Space" by Taylor Swift (Meaning)

Blank Space 

written by: Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback

About:
Blank Space is the second song on Taylor Swifts album 1989. Its the second official single.


Meaning:
Swift wrote this song about the media and the way they made her up as a totally different person. During the last years the media said lots of wrong stuff about her. She wrote the song from the perspective of that crazy woman the media made up.
"The media talks a lot about what they think my personal life is like. they draw off this fictious profile of this girl whos a serial dater and she is over emotional and she is this unstable completly clingy lady. I thought about how complex and interesting that character actually is, if it were a real girl."-Taylor Swift

My opinion:
I truly love it. Its different from everything she has done before. The story and the lyrics are amazing. Its a good produced song and even if you usually dont like Swifts music you might like it. Its really pop but still different from everything we usually get to hear on the radio.
Its a really good pop song and i really enjoy listening to it :)

Lyrics:
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
New money, suit & tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors, lie
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport in my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King baby I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storm
I can make all the tables turn
Rose gardens filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya

Thankyou for reading :)
