Look around
They're moving in
Hold your ground
When they begin

We can do it, we can do it
And if they want to they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving
Never stop

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up
Don't give in
Make a stand
We're gonna win

We can do it, we can do it
And if they want to they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving
Never stop

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
So keep it up

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

    To me this song is about how Metal Heads will always be loyal to each other. Like when you listen to Metal it's not like some Rap group that releases one song and then leaves to never be seen again. Bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden have been around 30 something years and they both have a loyal following of old and young. Like me im only 13 and I am the only person in my school that listens to Maiden and I stay loyal to my music even though it's impossible to talk about music to other kids.

    lordoflight, im right there with you, im 14 being the only one in my school to like Judas, maiden, etc Anyways, you should feel proud of yourself, honestly i couldnt give a shit if no one in my school likes em or anything its their loss, if anything we're privileged to be able to listen to decent music. Judas priest is an icon to me, i used to follow the crouds and listen to all that rap shit, that was untill i heard "(take these) chains" and i was blown away. I have every priest cd and all halford, and tiptons solo work. Metal will come back and demolish all shit music.

    as a middle school boy i feel i can't speak to anyone about good music. i managed to get my friend into Megadeth. on non uniform days (how all schooldays should be) when i wear my Led Zep, GNR, Nirvana, Metallica, Larry Graham or Dr Feelgood t shirt everyone asks me what they are. then they ask me what Grunge is!!! once someone asked me what Ska and Reggae are! poppy trash music or popular music is taking over Rock, Metal, Jazz, Reggae, Punk, Soul, Rockney and basically every good music genre. but we can't let them!!!! that's what this song means!!!

    I always took it as a message to the fellow metallers to stand their ground and stick it to the man, because they are indeed 'united' in the eyes of the metal gods.

    I'm pretty certain this song is about Birmingham United, where the Priest is from. Although it could serve as a double meaning and referring to metalheads being united, as well. Cheers

    Question
    Could this song be a pro-gay rights song?? United they are stronger, than divided (hence why society has tried to keep homosexuals down for so long).

Blank Space

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.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
