MY MUSIC TASTE: Please Read :3
I’m sure yall have heard of Olivia Rodrigo right. She’s the best musician ever (im not bias ;3) You know she’s a famous pop star, you may know she got popular in the early 2020’s, and is still going strong.
(I know a lot of y’all are into k-pop and I like k-pop, I just don’t know Korean, so not being able to pronounce lyrics always makes me frustrated because Im a singer and getting the lyrics wrong is a pet peeve of mine lol)
But did you know when she became that world famous popstar she was 17. When she wrote “drivers license” she was 17, and I’m just going to say, think about that for a second. A 17 year old wrote that. Including the music, the lyrics, the EVERYTHING.
She also just writes some of the most emotional, and relatable, lyrics. Plus she’s just a straight up good person (You cant say that about a lot of celebrities)
To give some of my favorite Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics. She has 3 albums, one is brand new, so I’ll have her age when she wrote said albums up.
Please skim through, a lot of these lyrics are really powerful. (If you want to know what song any of them are from just ask me lol)
SOUR (17-18)
“All I did was try my best, this the kind of thanks I get?”
“Loved you at your worst, but that didn't matter”
“I just cant imagine how you could be so okay now that I’m gone”
“I hope, you’re happy, but no like how you were with me, I’m selfish I know, I can’t let you go, so find someone great but don’t find no one better, I hope you’re happy, but don’t be happier.”
“you couldn’t have cared less about someone who loved you more.”
“You found someone more exciting, the next second you were gone”
“Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems”
“Maybe I’m too emotional, or maybe you never cared at all!”
“Gosh I wish that you had thought this through before I went and fell in love with you”
“Know that I love you so bad, I let you treat me like that”
“don’t you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded”
GUTS (19-20)
“I’m on the outside of the greatest inside joke”
“Now you got me thinking 2+2=5 and I’m the love of your life, cause if rain don’t pour and sun don’t shine, then changing you is possible”
“I used to think I was smart, but you made me look so naive”
“I have captors I call friends, I have panic rooms inside my head”
“Now I hear your voice every time I think I’m not enough”
“You cant love anyone cause that would mean you had a heart.”
“I feel your compliments like bullets on skin”
“But I fear that they already got all the best parts of me”
“I'm so tired of bein' the girl that I am, very good thing has turned into something I dread”
“I’d rather be tied to someone, even if they’re wrong”
“It takes strength to forgive but I don’t feel strong”
you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love (23)
“It’s hard to describe this, in a way that feels honest”
“But I don’t matter how your love feels anymore, it’ll never be the cure”
“If loving me means saying ‘babe I think this is the end’, then I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less”
“But my head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt”
“What can I do but think of you?”
“They say that honest love is a cage that makes me feel free”
“You said that I made loving look easy, until I made it hard.”
“So I’m patient, you’re learning, pretend it’s not hurting.”
“Why can’t you stitch me up, why can't it ever be enough?”
“I resent you, for not being brave.”
“I’m not feeling like myself, and nothing ever seems to help.”
I’m a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brain”
Bonus: Her single, serena joy, she wrote it for a feminist festival she organized, she donated all $10 million the profits to societies helping woman, for example, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Women's Law Center, Black Mamas Matter Alliance and more.
Anyways, heres some of those lyrics.
If you can't throw a punch, you can learn how to spit
And we'll never give up
And we'll never submit
Look, the life of your dreams, Is beyond that cliff
Anyways, hope yall realize why I love her sm <3
