We Don't Talk Anymore
thevictoriouslatino.blogspot.com

If you haven't heard this song yet, you probably will eventually. This song has a somber sound to it, being that it's about a break up. If you've heard it and haven't really listened to the lyrics, you might have missed an underlying message that each singer has when they sing their part. This is one of those songs that almost everyone can relate to, even if they don't want to admit it. Even having a crush on someone that is in a relationship with somebody else can be really hard, whether you actually dated them or not.

"We don't talk anymore" addresses one of the biggest losses of a relationship. Going from talking to anything and everything to virtually nothing can be really hard. You wonder why you even bothered with the entire relationship in the first place, and it causes a lot of confusion and hurt.

Charlie says:

I just heard you found the one you've been looking
You've been looking for
I wish I would have known that wasn't me
'Cause even after all this time I still wonder
Why I can't move on
Just the way you did so easily

Charlie seems upset that he heard she found what she was looking for, and he's upset that wasn't what she thought about him when they were together.

Don't wanna know
What kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

He doesn't want to know what Selena is wearing out tonight, because he knows she probably looks smoking and is going to attract a lot of male attention.

Selena says:

I just hope you're lying next to somebody
Who knows how to love you like me
There must be a good reason that you're gone
Every now and then I think you
Might want me to come show up at your door
But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong

Selena thinks that the whole reason he's gone is because he found someone better in bed, and it almost feels like she's blaming herself. Then of course she wonders if she should reach out to him, but she's too afraid to do it because she doesn't know if that's what he wants.

Don't wanna know
If you're looking into her eyes
If she's holding onto you so tight the way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

She's afraid that his physical relationship with this new woman is going to turn into something else. She doesn't want him to look into her eyes because that means they would be forming an emotional connection.

Then Charlie changes what he said to:

Don't wanna know
What kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's giving it to you just right
The way I did before

Charlie assumes that the tight holding led to other things, but he doesn't really want to know for sure.

So, what does this song have to do with breakups? Guys tend to be more worried about the physical aspect of what their ex is doing, while girls tend to be worried about the emotional aspect. Basically, the main point of this song is that breakups suck, and sitting around worrying about what your ex is doing or who they're with doesn't help one bit.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
