A song that I just can't get out of my head, that makes me think of all the people along the way (and in my life currently) that have NOT helped me get to where I am now. Or, if those people you may not really even know, but you know they're just not very nice. Mean. No grudges, it's just a great 'angry' song. Makes me think of one person in particular...
Taylor Swift -- Mean
You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't Write
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
About Me
- Ashley C. Foley
- I am a graduate from Guelph-Humber University, in Toronto, Ontario. I grew up in the small town of Tamworth, Ontario, with a population of about 500. I have lived in Ojibway Provincial Park / Sioux Lookout, Ontario; Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario, Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Toronto (and the GTA), Ontario, and many places in between. Upon graduating into a ghostly occupation that has been beaten hard by the recession, I began applying to every journalism job available in Toronto ... and then in the GTA ... and then in Ontario ... until eventually, I began applying to jobs all over Canada. Finally, I found my first reporting employment, in La Crete, Alberta, writing for The Northern Pioneer. After a year and a half, I decided to expand my portfolio by moving to Bonnyville, Alberta, which is about 12 hours southeast of La Crete. My adventures have been, and will continue to be, dcumented on my blog as I go.
