We are only a week away from Taylor Swift's 3rd album, "Speak Now", being released and an hour ago she released another song. This one is called "Mean" and people think it could become the theme song/rallying cry for the growing anti-bullying campaign. Although there are a ton of people who love TSwizzle there are a lot that can't stand her. In the song she basically calls out the people who are "mean" to her and talks about how she handles it. In the video below she explains that the song is geared toward one person in particular, saying, "and there's one guy, man, who just crossed the line over and over again just being mean and just saying things that would ruin my day."
The song is definitely a lot more country than her recent songs and I welcome the change. I probably don't have to keep saying this when I post a new Taylor Swift song but, as usual, the song is extremely catchy and has a great chorus. Audio, lyrics and a video of Taylor explaining the song are below. The song was released on iTunes - buy it here.
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 feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board calling me out when I’m wounded
You, picking on the weaker man
You can take me down, with just one single blow
But you don’t know, what you don’t know
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, why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don’t already see them
I walk with my head down tryna block you out, cause I’ll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now, cause you can’t lead me down that road
And you don’t know, what you don’t know
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, why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody’s listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and rumbling on about how I can’t sing, 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
But someday, I’ll be living in a big ole city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean. Yeah
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, why you gotta be so mean?
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, why you gotta be so mean?
