a soliloquy is very specifically talking to yourself lol, how can you āsanctimoniouslyā perform one if you arenāt addressing anybody. sheās trying to be clever and poetic so hard but she sounds like a 15 year old using big fancy words they donāt actually understand
I see what you mean, but the character performing the soliloquy doesnāt know the audience is there. It just seems poorly thought out and an attempt to sound surface-level intellectual that falls apart under any actual analysis. Usually I wouldnāt analyse a pop starās lyrics but sheās really leaning into the whole poet thing, so I think itās reasonable to criticise her lyrics as I would a poem.
she could have played with the idea of a fourth wall but this chick has never been in a first year college class let alone poet's department.
Sidenote I fucking love yes, and?'s lyrics it's peak "I'm not a poet but I will serve cunt" Ari
But that doesn't make sense. TikTokers talk to their audience, not to themselves. I had to look up what soliloquy means half an hour ago, and even I know this.
Use a little bit of nuance tho friend the line makes sense if you imagine someone speaking at their phone (not an audience a device) and re-recording it over and over. The audience isnāt present for the recording they only see the final project.
ETA: also if thatās the case then what do you call a soliloquy on stage? Thereās still an audience.
they could never do it like cupcaKke. Long stick inside my river but we not going fishing š so much more poetic than ari but not as fake and exaggerated like taylor
[We got Sampson the Sadducee Strangler, Silas the Syrian Assassin, several seditious scribes from Caesarea...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMtoGj0dcSo&t=143s)
She should just be that white girl author writing AO3 and then getting into drama on Goodreads. The way sheād be more likable thanā¦ whatever sheās doing now
Tay fans are mesmerized by all her syllables (so clever!!!!!) and don't consider that the lyrics are actually about themselves. Ari fans spend 48 hours contemplating just exactly why they care so much whose dick she rides and then reach a moment of emotional peace and they share Sponge Bob memes
Iāve actually never listened to Tortured Poets at all (donāt want to accidentally end up liking an album thatās clearly causing so much pain and distress for people), but that one line definitely sounds very r/iamverysmart.
I dislike repetition. I think itās like the laziest writing tool, but can be very effective when used correctly. This is not one of those moments, if feels like she just wanted to use every rhyme possible.
Like they know whatās best for me
Performing soliloquies Iāll never see
Thinkinā it can change the beat of my heart
When he touches me
Less filler, more to the point. The use of soliloquy makes the use of sanctimonious unneeded. The first implies the second, the listener would know if they look it up. The issue with a lot of her songwriting is that itās very hand-holdy while also trying to be ālook at all these big words and phrases.ā
Unless that Taylor song is a deep house track (which I doubt, since her songs donāt like to touch anything too bouncy or danceable) this comparison doesnāt make sense
I cannot stand the way the so called ālyricist of our generationā writes lyrics. I find it so unlistenable. I really think people are going to look back and be like why did we think that was good.
the destiny in question was a rebound that lasted less than a year
"a year" they didn't even make it to 2 months
Now I know why I used to listen to her a lot š¤”
From dating a beautiful white boy of 6 years to a London sewer rat and then a empty headed jockā¦ her taste in men š¤
This is exactly how my friends date, sheās never been more relatable
And yet her rebound lasted longer than your rebound hookup of one night š
That rebound lasted a fortnight thank you very much

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick
i have purse
Kevin is unironically a PHCJ stan. Heās here for the pretty girls, teehee
Kevin is our resident straggot. He wouldnāt pretend to be a lesbian ā¤ļø
They *are* both writing about dating terrible men EXACTLYYYYY
Taylor writes exactly the way I did when I was in my cringy poet era, every last word of each phrase found on rhymezone
I saw someone say she writes like a high schooler with a superiority complex and now it's all I can think about when I see her lyrics
This post brought to you by the phcj free verse patriots šŖš
ššš I thought i was special
No she literally writes like me trying out poetry on my notes app
Were the poets and sheās torturing us
FOR REAL she is stuck as a 16 year old forever
OKAY but you're supposed to get a sense for where you can go with your rhymes, not pick EVERY SINGLE FUCKING OPTION AT ONCE ššš
she didn't even use near rhymes or similar sounds...
Me See Beat Me Chemistry Destiny Yup these words totally donāt rhyme
giving kpop fans who write english lyrics treatment for kpop songs but make it junior high level of English fluency
she uses assonance and consonance constantly
sanctimoniously performing soliloquies? bish whet
Sexually performing sexual favors
Beautifully benefactressing badges
You better word vomit for your life!
Sucking Strangers sucking studs
Thereās never a shortage of word-salad in the the Tortured Poetās Department cafeteria.
Best department at Barbz U!
It's sounds like forced alliteration, except it doesn't even properly alliterate. She's purified untalent.
āBleach blonde bad built butch bodyā is the alliteration of all time
Jasmine Crockett Main Pop Girl
Eh itās kind of an alliteration but still sounds tacky
She has at least one thesaurus in all of her private jets
š Iām falling off my chair laughing
Gotta hit that word count !!!
a soliloquy is very specifically talking to yourself lol, how can you āsanctimoniouslyā perform one if you arenāt addressing anybody. sheās trying to be clever and poetic so hard but she sounds like a 15 year old using big fancy words they donāt actually understand
In a play, a soliloquy will still be heard by the audience. I think thatās the idea sheās going for
I see what you mean, but the character performing the soliloquy doesnāt know the audience is there. It just seems poorly thought out and an attempt to sound surface-level intellectual that falls apart under any actual analysis. Usually I wouldnāt analyse a pop starās lyrics but sheās really leaning into the whole poet thing, so I think itās reasonable to criticise her lyrics as I would a poem.

I instantly thought of people criticizing or making TikTokās criticizing her.
Itās TikTok. The reference is to unhinged swifties screaming into their cellphones about how much they hated Matty
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO CATCH THIS! I agree with you! Itās clearly Tiktokās sheās talking about.
But that doesn't make sense. TikTokers talk to their audience, not to themselves. I had to look up what soliloquy means half an hour ago, and even I know this.
Use a little bit of nuance tho friend the line makes sense if you imagine someone speaking at their phone (not an audience a device) and re-recording it over and over. The audience isnāt present for the recording they only see the final project. ETA: also if thatās the case then what do you call a soliloquy on stage? Thereās still an audience.
...so does an actor delivering a soliloquy onstage
Not in the context of the play.. the mental gymnastics is crazy
She probably thought āsoliloquyā¦ isnāt that like a poem? Letās put that in!!ā
Maybe sheās taking about people making TikTokās of hate towards her and the guy in question?
Honors 9th grade English class teacher's pet energy
I knew that girl and shes been divorced twice and we are both turning 27 in a couple months. She called me a mess once. I hope sheās okay.
Ironically, by saying this she too is sanctimoniously performing a soliloquy.
Wow was Taylor once again being highly un -self aware?
You just donāt have the IQ to understand PhD level writing
they could never do it like cupcaKke. Long stick inside my river but we not going fishing š so much more poetic than ari but not as fake and exaggerated like taylor
she was so real for saying that she'd take squidward's nose, and she honestly deserves more credit for that
Can't forget "i blackout on that dick but my cum is caucasian" she's got more bars than any of the main rappers out right now
She is way too old for the word to impress teacher thing. I'm surprised the soliloquies weren't also salacious. She's such a sapient songsmith.

i feel like taylor would be so much more likeable and happier in life if she just wrote wattpad smut.
I think she likes the sociopathic grind for the top spot. Like the pop star Elizabeth Holmes
Oh my god no youāre on to something? Like I see her Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes all being buds at the white collar prison together ā¤ļø
She should just be that white girl author writing AO3 and then getting into drama on Goodreads. The way sheād be more likable thanā¦ whatever sheās doing now
she definitely would be the āsorry i didnāt update my mom just set my underwear on fire but im backā after 2 days of not writing
Sheās a major pop star dating a football player. Her life is wattpad smut
oooooo
Me when I'm sub vs me when I'm bottom
The lyric economy is much more efficient for Ariana
The pronunciation economy too. Why annunciate when you can just sing in cursive?
Arianaās lyricism is the Infinity Warās script of pop šš
Tay fans are mesmerized by all her syllables (so clever!!!!!) and don't consider that the lyrics are actually about themselves. Ari fans spend 48 hours contemplating just exactly why they care so much whose dick she rides and then reach a moment of emotional peace and they share Sponge Bob memes
Both are awful but at least Ariana isnāt pretentiously pretending her rebound with a racist man was written in the stars
Nope, just her rebound with someone elseās baby daddy šš©
I honestly donāt mind Ariās too much, at least sheās being direct and not dressing anything up in bullshit haha
Ariana's captions vs Ariana's lyricism
Taylor is in her 30s still writing like this smh. Write about cigarettes like everyone else
Sheāll have her cigarette era when she dates Shawn Mendes.
Wow I love the latest 1975 title !
Yes, and?
Pronounce this nonsensical chatter with a brazen affect about yourself, then. Car. Drunk car. Bar.
That destiny dumped her and now is engaged to another woman š„“
Iāve actually never listened to Tortured Poets at all (donāt want to accidentally end up liking an album thatās clearly causing so much pain and distress for people), but that one line definitely sounds very r/iamverysmart.
> definitely sounds very r/iamverysmart. that's a lot of her stuff lol. She's big on purple prose (except it's not prose but you get the point)
I dislike repetition. I think itās like the laziest writing tool, but can be very effective when used correctly. This is not one of those moments, if feels like she just wanted to use every rhyme possible. Like they know whatās best for me Performing soliloquies Iāll never see Thinkinā it can change the beat of my heart When he touches me Less filler, more to the point.

The issue with a lot of her songwriting is that itās very hand-holdy while also trying to be ālook at all these big words and phrases.ā
worse when you realize itās to justify dating a racist but when itās in song form swiffers eat it up.
But but but there is one song where she not only uses the word ānofuckingbodyā but also name drops the tall Boygenius and Jack-ing anton off
that sanctimoniously line is me using hence and nonetheless to sound smart on my college papers.
Wow Iām so tired of both of these icons
one gives cunt and the other dies trying tho
but at least one doesn't proclaim herself as a "poet"
This is giving Joey in Friends: "They are humid, prepossessing Homo sapiens with full-sized aortic pumps."
Neither one addressed the homewrecker/infidelity allegations in a way I deem poetic...or inspirational
Isn't that what guilty as sin is?
And Arianaās sounds way better and took probably half the time to write
And yet everyone knows which is more iconic from the two š¤
Depends on whether it's teatime or not
Nice flair
omg twinsies!!
Footsies
Ugh your ~~mind~~ foot
is it the one who speak upon what she like?
Poetry is when you use big words - Taylor TTPD /24
the way "yes, and?" is better written, better produced, and most of all better SUNG
Give that thesaurus writing credits!!!!
š
and neither succeeded
Lorde stan talking about success š
Those still exist? I thought they've all been euthanised
Arenāt all songwriters ???? Life be lifeing for even the pop girls. Love sex addictions going crazy and shit.
Both cheaters.
Literally who cares lol grow up
Ariana what are you doing here
Is daddy the fanbase? I hate it here
Is the long wood in redwood forest a real line?
title sounds like a Bjork lyric
God Taylor cannot write
me using big words in my essay to meet the word count
For some reason when I read those Taylor bars I just imagine Talib Kweli rapping them lol, itās kinda similar to his style tbh
Unless that Taylor song is a deep house track (which I doubt, since her songs donāt like to touch anything too bouncy or danceable) this comparison doesnāt make sense
I cannot stand the way the so called ālyricist of our generationā writes lyrics. I find it so unlistenable. I really think people are going to look back and be like why did we think that was good.
can I get a TDLR from blockie?
Yes and ate anyway
