Wildest Dreams: An Epic of The Wildest Proportions

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, St. Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant; all were remarkable philosophers who provided immeasurable value to mankind. They have quite spectacularly changed the very way mankind perceives nature.
Their thoughts have had far reaching effects and many of their philosophies are still being taught to this very day. A philosopher of their quality arrives perhaps once a generation. This generation has been gifted with a philosopher greater than any before. In fact, if one were to add up the combined worth of ALL historical philosophers, from the dawn of time to the present day, it would still fall short of TAYLOR SWIFT. TAYLOR SWIFT has provided us with a nearly infinite trove of wisdom and knowledge. She has engaged the powerful forces of our degenerate society and has emerged victorious time and time again. Like the ancient Spartans fighting the Persians, she is the last bulwark between us and absolute annihilation. 

In the song "Wildest Dreams" Taylor Swift digs deep into the tomes of the human soul and sheds light on the essence of what it means to be human. Indeed this song is perhaps one of her most complex and difficult writings. There are quite literally thousands of layers contained in this song, each layer more complex than the last. It has truly been a monumental task that I have undertaken. Hundreds of thousands of hours listening to this song. Analyzing each word time and time again. Finally, after many sleepless nights, I have unlocked the secret to understanding this song in all of its complex perfection. Within these lyrics the key to human happiness can be found. All the difficult questions that have nagged mankind from age to age find their answers HERE. This song is, to put it simply, the most powerful combination of pure beauty and wisdom that has ever been penned. Only one person in the ENTIRE universe has the ability to share this knowledge with the populous. This person is ME. After much reflection I have decided that mankind is not yet ready. I cannot in good conscience distribute what I know will be unappreciated and widely despised. If, before my passing, I deem man to have reached a state of moral readiness, I may release my writings. Until then, prepare your minds. Prepare the minds of your neighbors. Prepare the minds of all people you meet. Wait, and take comfort in the fact that I have all the answers.         
   

He said let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city
Away from the crowds
I thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins, my one condition is

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

I said "No one has to know what we do,"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is


Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams

  1. I one hundred percent agree with everything you say here! Taylor Swift could invent philosophy, but Socrates couldn't have written "Out Of The Woods." https://taylorswiftsongrating.blogspot.com/
