1: Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine.
You feel like the world is out to get you, but don't worry, it's only temporary. Even Taylor knows about bullies and bad days. It all gets better, in the end, keep shining! (song: Ours)
2: In your life, you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team.
This one is so important, the whole song actually. Don't live your life for someone else, do what makes you happy. You will accomplish so much when you start living your life on your own terms. (song: Fifteen)
3: For a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world.
Remember those times you had with your friends where you felt indestructible? High school graduation maybe or winning a championship game with your team? And even Taylor wears ripped up jeans. (song: Long Live)
4: When you're young you just run, but you come back to what you need.
These lyrics speak for itself. When you're young you may overlook things and maybe even people, but you will always come back to what is absolutely vital to you. (song: This Love)
5: You asked me for a place to sleep, locked me out, and threw a feast.
Every person in the world has felt taken advantage of. This one is for all the people who know what its like to keep giving but never get anything in return. (song: Look What You Made Me Do)
6: Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life.
Okay so this song isn't just Taylor, but everyone can relate, right? Ever been iffy on breaking up with someone or maybe just deciding not to see someone anymore? There's a lot of uncertainty, you'll wonder for a while and be sad, but life goes on. (song: I Don't Wanna Live Forever)
7: We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way.
Thank you, Taylor, for giving us a song that celebrates happiness, girl power and just living it up with your squad. (Song: 22)
8: Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it, I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it.
We all have a point in life where we change or something changes us and we'd like to get back to who we used to be. The Timehop memories just start flooding in, but fear not, everything will be okay in the end. You are who you are for a reason and you'll find out who you are supposed to be, even if it's who you used to be. (song: All Too Well)
9: I took your matches before fire could catch me so don't look now. I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town.
When you realize someone is toxic, you also need to recognize that you have the power to leave. Don't let the bad guy win. (song: Dear John)
10: When I was drowning that's when I could finally breathe.
Sometimes when you are going through really hard times, that's when you are really able to learn about yourself. Sometimes it takes hardships to become stronger. (song: Clean)
11: I hope you remember, today is never too late to be brand new.
You are always free to change your life, there is no bad timing when it comes to self-improvement. (song: Innocent)
12: You're beautiful, every little piece love and don't you know, you're really gonna be someone. Ask anyone.
Even your flaws are beautiful because they are a part of you. You'll make it one day as long as you have drive, sure you may slip up or take a few detours down the road but you will do great things, and everyone knows you will. (song: Stay Beautiful)
13: Baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me
Not everyone is on your side, you just have to find the people who you know will always be there for you. Let the haters hate, but you go ahead, build your castle and sit on your throne. (song: New Romantics)
14: You called me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest. I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Think about a person who hurt you really bad. Did they ever call you to talk and make amends but then they hurt you again? They want to try and be honest with you about something but really they are making you feel worse. you feel like they just balled you up and threw you away. Taylor deserves a thank you for this whole song. Don't sweat it, you'll hurt for a while, but then you'll be okay. (song: All Too Well)
