Link to Lyrics: Taylor Swift – Blank Space Lyrics | AZLyrics.com

“Blank Space,” the second single from Taylor Swift's 2014 album 1989, is still one of her biggest successes as of July 2020. As per Swift's 2014 presentation at the Grammys museum, the song was inspired by her therapeutic desire to communicate self-deprecating humor. Swift pulls no punches as she takes on the persona of a cruel, manipulative, selfish monster. The song has lyrics that talk about narcissism with hidden meanings, such as: Cherry lips, crystal skies I could show you incredible things Taylor mocks the media's portrayal of her as a naive, shallow girl who is nothing more than her gorgeous face. Words like “cherry lips” and “beautiful lies” show how she is perceived as a deceitful person with little substance other than her appearance.

My Way – Frank Sinatra

Link to Lyrics: Frank Sinatra – My Way Lyrics | AZLyrics.com

The song “My Way” may be seen as a triumph of one's life and successes, victories over hardship, and steadfastness. Still, it can also be interpreted as highly selfish, arrogant, and, most importantly, rejecting the role that others play in our lives. The lyrics go as follows: I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way This implies that a guy can never question his ways or allow any criticism, good or bad, to permeate his thick skull. It's a gesture to a very particular and traditional idea of masculinity: the sort of man who is so self-assured in his unwavering righteousness that he has no interest in considering anybody else.

Although the song's music and tempo are pleasant, the words are somewhat troubling since they depict ownership, surveillance, and maybe jealousy.

Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you.
