    Deep deep lyrics. I am honored to be able to hear to this extraordinary piece of music. They must add the Platinum Album into the National registry. Ah the Vengaboys had such talent. I'm deeply affected by their breakup. (sarcasm)

    I love the way the line is written out 28 times virtually exactly the same, THEN it says "Repeat", and THEN the same line again! ROFL!

    My Interpretation
    This song symbolizes the duality of man, and indeed the duality of the universe itself. The Taoist would relate this to the idea of Yin and Yang; to explore the dichotomy of reality is to realize truth. But a modern philosopher would say that up and down can not exist at the same time. There is no "up" in "down" and vice versa. The two are in constant opposition, at least in a mathematical sense. Perhaps it is about choice. Up? Down? You must choose. Left or right? Good or evil? Light or dark? Although duality exist, man is forced to make choices in life, and must live with the consequences of those decisions. Some deep lyrics from the Vengaboys.

    It´s a message for all of us, which says: Hey, look, you can make loads of money with stupid pop-shit, which has absolutely nothing in common with music.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
