你大概聽過不少唱作才女泰勒絲 (Taylor Swift)的音樂,但是,你細聽過歌詞嗎?她將自己過去戀情譜寫成歌曲,當然包含個人想法,有快樂、有悲傷也有憤怒。仔細一瞧,似乎還寫出妄想、偏執、詛咒、跟蹤、偷窺等不當行為的蹤跡,過度佔有慾給人超大壓迫感,唱出恐怖情人潛力…?!

Laina (aka Overly Attached Girlfriend)念泰勒絲歌詞
聽泰勒絲的歌,除了曲調順耳、歌詞有趣之外,還教會我們一些事:很多時候,想法不說出口只藏在心裡,沒有人會知道。畢竟大部分人沒有讀心術,猜心實在是一件很累的事。所以,想活得快樂就要勤於溝通。或者向泰勒絲學習,將怨念轉化成創作動力,朝正面方向發洩出來,說不定還助你功成名就!
