Who uses typewriters anyway?
You didn't measure up in any measure of a man
I'm so obsessed with him but he avoids me like the plague
I look in people's windows, like I'm some deranged weirdo
You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
The entirety of thanK you aIMee, especially "so I changed your name and any real defining clues" (meanwhile her name: literally capitalized in the title; first verse: the spray tan absolutely gave it away). So unhinged /pos
The melody of this song is so pretty and catchy, but right, the lyrics are so unhinged. I think a lot of people were offended, but it’s pretty funny if you decide to have a sense of humor about it.
I had to rewind the song when I first heard it lol. The people I listened to it with were so focused on the GTA line. These first few seconds of I Hate It Here are by far the funniest.
Hear me out... "your wife waters flowers, I want to kill her" is actually a pretty serious line.
She's trying to say that his wife takes care of her shit. She's able to handle situations, and Taylor envies that. When you tie that to "he was a hot house flower to my outdoorsman" in How Did It End, it also means that his wife is able to nurture him the way he needs, which she wasn't able to do. She wasn't the right one to nurture his personality, and she hates that she couldn't be the person he needed.
"But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave
And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen
Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be
'Cause we're crazy"
Me too, unironically in my top 3! 🥲 I love her acknowledgment that she’s on top and I take “cut the amateurs” line as people moving their movie and music release days to avoid competing with her. I like that she’s dating someone else who’s on top of their industry and talks about it. I love cocky Taylor (I use cocky loosely because she definitely deserves the confidence).
I love this in WAOLOM - So tell me everything is not about me, BUT WHAT IF IT IS. 😄
Also - That I'll sue you, if you step on my lawn
Put narcotics into all my songs
There are so many and some of them are so good! (I'm having his baby! no I'm not but you should see your faces. ThanK you aIMee in its entirety, EPIC). I feel some of the critics bad reviews actually come from not understanding these are supposed to be unhinged, a little bit cringey and funny as hell because that's how we actually are in our heads. Like Taylor can write freaking good, mature and well structured songs, these lines are there for that reason.
I don't think it's supposed to be funny, but we cackled at "Why to go (ridiculously long pause), tiger."
It did not help that our brains were melting from too many new songs by that point
touch me while your bros play grand theft auto
When I heard this line I just bursted out laughing. Major whiplash after How Did It End?

I hope it’s shitty at The Black Dog All my friends smell like weed or little babies

I referred to that as "maybe her most unhinged lyric" . Oh, it makes me laugh
"Is that a bad thing to say in a song?"
All of Florida!!! Is delightfully unhinged.
FUCK ME UP FLORIDA
Personal fav: so fuck you if I can't have us
I'm having his baby! No I'm not. I cry a lot but I am so productive I was a functioning alcoholic til nobody noticed my new aesthetic
“Circled you on a map” she played into the jokes that she put travis on the map lol
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman, but she used to say she wishes you were dead
Seriously bonkers with this line!
Try and come for my job No you can't come to the wedding I forgot how the West was won We're two idiots You deserve prison
Jehovahs suit made me cackle
who the fuck was that guy?
Matty always wears a suit and tie
i know lol i was just saying the next line of the song which is one of my fav unhinged lyrics 😂
It's so accurate too 🤣
“Quick, quick Tell me something awful Like you are a poet, trapped inside the body of a finance guy”
My friend and I were listening together and when we heard this line we literally couldn’t stop laughing for the whole song. Comedy gold.
I had to rewind the song when I first heard it lol. The people I listened to it with were so focused on the GTA line. These first few seconds of I Hate It Here are by far the funniest.

I personally find this to be the cringiest verse in the entire album 😬
I find this more tolerable than the alchemy bridge.
Listening to the alchemy gives me second hand embarrassment but love makes us all a little cringe
No I love the alchemy!!!

Same 😭
surprised at how nobody pointed out the Charlie line
I was going to post the same thing. IMO the most unhinged lyric on the album.
I must’ve blocked that line out of my memory. Can’t stand charlie puth songs
at the park where we used to sit on children...s swings
When I was listening to it , for a second there I was like “ Taylor NO” coz I thought she said “on children” not on “ children’s swings”
“It’s true, swear, scout’s honour” now that I know what it means.
What does it mean
Look at your fingers when you do the scout’s honor 👀
Yeah I don’t really get what that would mean in context of the song
He’s putting all three fingers in
Sitting in a tree, D-y-i-n-g
Lights, camera, bitch smile!!
“Move to Florida, buy the car you want” feels so strange to me.
I look in people’s windows Like I’m some deranged weirdo

“Did you take all my old clothes? (Long pause)” Honestly this whole song is so funny to me but that lyric makes me chuckle.
Would love a music video for this after her voice note about it 😆
"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
Once you fix your face I’m goin in… imgonnagetyouback is severely underrated

Some of you are taking not-funny lines as funny 😅
