    I’m here / to remind you / of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.

    (I used to think the line was about her ex refusing to return to her a teddy bear that he apparently gave her as a gift. Which rather fits with the song’s theme and just seems dickish and spiteful on the ex’s part.)

    I miss the rains down in Africa.

    Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren’t sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!

    What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?

    My daughter is a Swifty, so I hear a lot of her music. I still can’t hear anything other than “Starbucks lovers”.

        It’s actually "got a long list of ex-lovers”.

        Also in googling this I also discovered she does not scream “HE LOOKS SO PRETTY LIKE A DEVIL” either.

    i misheard lady gaga’s bad romance the first few times. “want you in my rear window, baby, you’re sick;” came across to me as “while in morrowind, your baby is sick.” thought it was a commentary of some sorts lmao.

      It’s the ash storms, babies drop like flies in that kind of weather. Probably why you don’t see any kids in Vvardenfell is because they get stored away somewhere keep them safe from ash, blight, and disease carrying imperials

        How old do you think Dunmer are before they get the face wrinkles? Maybe they hide their infants because they all look like charcoal raisins?

          They do look the way they do because the Tribunal are assholes who got them all cursed. So I like it, they’ve made peace with their faces but never the shame of having super ugly babies so they all get hidden away

    I heard “carved my name into his legacy” instead of “leather seats” in Before He Cheats.

    Liked the idea that the truck was this bozos legacy. Considering the line prior is “I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive” - I thought she keyed her name into the side and that sounded awesome.

      Yeah! That was so metal! It also made me think she keyed her name into the side of the truck, which would be much more visible.

      So that’s the real lyrics. Never looked them up but it definitely sounded like “let’s get fucked” to me too

    “I met a man with too many faces” sounds like three times cooler than “I’m not a man of too many faces”.

    I always heard the lyrics to Cake’s I want a girl as “ I want a girl with the right eye locations”. Seems reasonable enough, nobody wants to date Sloth from the Goonies. And then one day a girl I was talking to told me it was “the right allocations” like measurements, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt dumber.
