(Get the hidden meaning which isn't hidden at all.)

MEAN: BY TAYLOR SWIFT.

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 FEELIN' LIKE I'M NOTHING.

Honestly, when will you ever learn? When will you see that speaking what you think all the time with no care and sensitivity will kill you someday? But oh, no, you just have to get better than me. You can't stand lagging behind and me and you have to absolutely bring me down to make yourself feel better.

YOU, WITH YOUR VOICE LIKE NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD CALLIN' ME OUT WHEN I'M WOUNDED,
YOU, PICKING ON THE WEAKER MEN.

There is a reason why they teach us about oral presentation in school. The main point is to be able to talk and speak without instigating anyone to slap your face. It's not just your words that can prick. It's the tone, the emphasis, EVERYTHING IN FACT, if you didn't realize. Even the volume. And sure, she might not be pissed at you, but that does not give you the right to keep on bullying her because HELLO, she has a life and she doesn't need you butting in all the time.

YOU CAN TAKE ME DOWN, WITH JUST ONE SINGLE BLOW,
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW, WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW..

Honestly, I have bore the brunt of your insults long long LONG enough to get pissed at someone who says that I don't have any patience. Yeah.

SOME DAY, I'LL BE LIVING IN A BIG OLE CITY,
AND ALL YOU'RE EVER GONNA BE IS MEAN.
SOME DAY, I'LL BE BIG ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN'T HIT ME,
AND ALL YOU'RE EVER GONNA BE IS MEAN.

Well, technically, it's not some day anymore, its today for me. I guess I finally found a way to make sure you don't mess up my life.

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO MEAN?

I tried to tell you. We all did. But nothing we say ever EVER goes in. We ask why, but you give us no reply. Why? OH, because you're not listening to us.

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 am seriously tired of your indecisiveness and your incapability to make your own decisions because you're just too lazy to expend the help of your dead brain cells and truthfully, I've had enough of you picking on me all the time. Trying to embarrass me ain't working because it's lame. And it's lame because your language has a problem. And YES, I know I suck at all the things that you're good at. You don't have to remind me ALL THE TIME, because unlike you, I do know my limits.

I WALK WITH MY HEAD DOWN TRYIN BLOCK YOU OUT COS' I'LL NEVER IMPRESS YOU,
I, JUST WANNA FEEL OKAY AGAIN.

This is the standard behaviour of everyone whom you insult. They tune you out because they're tired of what you're saying about them.

I BET YOU GOT PUSHED AROUND, SOMEBODY MADE YOU COLD.
BUT THE CYCLE ENDS RIGHT NOW COS YOU CAN'T LEAD ME DOWN THAT ROAD,
AND YOU DON'T KNOW, WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW..

They say, do not to what you don't want others to do unto you. Please listen to them. Don't be a hypocrite because its disgusting. You don't go around telling people you hate her for doing that, and then YOU yourself do something like that. You lose your credibility.

SOMEDAY, I'LL BE LIVING IN A BIG OLE 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.

I had enough of your bullying. Seriously.

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO MEAN?

Please stop before you lose all your friends.

OH I CAN SEE YOU YEARS DOWN IN A BAR,
TALKING OVER FOOTBALL GAME,
WITH THAT SAME BIG, LOUD OPINION BUT,
NOBODY'S LISTENING.

I told you. Tone and volume matters if you want people to listen to you. But do you ever listen. Nope.

WASHED UP AND RANTING ABOUT THE SAME OLD, BITTER THING.
DRUNK AND GRUMBLING ABOUT HOW I CAN'T SING.

Yes, I understand that you can sing better. I get it. I really do. I hear you.

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.

You probably still won't listen to me.

SOME DAY, I'LL BE LIVING IN A BIG OLE CITY,
BUT ALL YOU'RE EVER GONNA BE IS MEAN.
SOME DAY, I'LL BE BIG ENOUGH SO YOU CAN'T HIT ME,
BUT ALL YOU'RE EVER GONNA BE IS MEAN.

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO MEAN.

Well, I won't be like you and hold grudges, because I hate people who hold grudges for an extended long, long period of time. Like, can't you just get over it. But there is one thing I can do when you push me beyond my limit, and though I don't like it, I will do it if you hurt my friends.

Because there is nothing I do better than revenge.

XOXO

LIMSHAN! HELLO! my name is limshan, and just to give you a headstart... I'm a sotong, and this is going to be a freakishly long post that changes all the time because i change all the time so you'll have to bear with me here:D so...hmm...who am i? Now, that's really simple. I'm a girl who probably should have been born in the 15th century when kings and queens were still alive and girls were still wearing corsets and dresses. I'm absolutely insane about everything vintage, from tables to chairs to old coffeeshop houses near my house. Ah hah! Caught you there! You thought i was refering to the western kind of vintage right?(just agree. I know its lame but fun to try lah) Nope. I like anything old. Old houses, with maybe a little paint peeling off and some faults with the door handles and everything just makes me feel more at home. Don't you feel so constraint when you're in a whitewashed house with perfect glass doors with no finger prints or anything? Anyway, where was i? Ah, just another headstart, my memory skills are terrible beyond belief. How i can forget something that i'm writing now, i have absolutely no idea. Let's see.... Yes, i love the ice cream stands that are stationed outside the toa payoh library because they provide me the sugar rush after i had just studied in the awesome place and i love immersing myself in crowds. I love to be among people, because it makes me feel less lonely in life, and i absolutely adore my neighbourhood. At night, the streets will light up as though magic dust had been scattered around everywhere! Well, in actual fact, there are just over a dozen light shops there, but its really uplifting to see your home place lit up like its christmas on a night on your way back home from tiring school. I love festivals because they're so festival-ish and noisy and i just love the feeling. I exceptionally adore chinese new year because on those few days, everywhere would be blasting tunes that you know by heart and you get to dress up and visit everyone and just be happy on that day without anyone thinking that you're going bonkers. Christmas is fun too, but it doesn't have that boisterous feeling like chinese new year:D it is more of the time of the year where you settle down and think about how great the year has been:D Anyway, i love the smell of cookies when they just came out of the oven, and the feeling of garlic being fried when you step home from school. I want to learn how to play the piano even though the notes look like bean sprouts like me and i can only recognize numbers. I'm in love with country music that has a story behind it because i think songs only make sense when there is a reason for them being written. I miss playing on the swings and running amok like a little girl and i dream that one day, i can be one again. I love dance because i feel less lanky and uncoordinated when i'm dancing because right now, i'm tall and you will not believe how many scraps and pathetic falls i get into everyday because my arms and legs are way too long. I don't dream about guys as much as i used to because right now, i learned that life does not just revolve around love itself because its not worth being gloomy over a single guy and I don't believe in love at first sight. I think love is a magical thing though, because when you love someone, you tend to put him before yourself and that goes against the human nature of thinking about yourself at first. I love writing more than any of those things above because the words on paper are my voices. I'm extremely self-concious and i over analyze everything i see but sometimes, i know that a person cannot be perfect and glam all the time. If you're too perfect, you tend to look at people's flaws more critically and eventually, their flaws become unbearable to you because you have them as well. I believe that we should be just who we are, so if you day dream about love and people tell you to give it up, don't. I have a dream of creating a writing world where people can read when they feel sad, and then feel happy after that. I love writing stories and my main characters often carry characteristc traits of yours truly, and will continue to do so because when i solve my main characters' problems, i learn how to solve my own too. I believe that there is always a fairytale ending for everyone, and it all depends if you want to pursue it. I'm a terribly flawed girl who loves to sing in the toilet, dreams of being a superstar one day, and thinks of changing the world by myself as if i will ever be superman. I used to be a pushover and i was too lazy to even stand up for my own rights but now, i believe that we are all not angels. We are human beings, and if we're upset, we have to do something to ease the pain away. I never liked to scream at people, or people yelling at each other but i understand that they have to find a way to get rid of the things stuck in their chests. I write poems about the things i feel but mostly, they are not meant in any malicious way unless, you've been malicious to me of course. But when that happens, i'll think hard on whether its worth being malicious back. I get scared very easily and i stress and panic really easily but then, i would find a solution to the problem just as fast. I suffer from inferiority complex but i hate to let it ruin my life because its really not worth it. I used to be afraid and anti social but i've learned that to make friends, you have to be a little thick skinned at the beginning because its the hardest to be the first one to say, "Hi." Did i mention the fact that i think love is magical? Well, writing about love is part of me, and i guess it will always be. This place is one outlet where i can just let my thoughts flow and i love it to bits because too often, i dream of ideas that never really do see the light of the day. I treasure each new idea that comes to mind and i hope that one day, it gets shown to the world. And now, I hope that this blog, brings you magic, something that you need in your life, something magical, just like love.
Oh, did i forget to mention? I'm a girl thats called limshan.
And I'm a sotong.:)
