Our Song - Wittgenstein meets Taylor Swift
Grammar of an "us"
Era 1 - Album Taylor swift (Debut)
You’ve been listening to this song for years.
And still, something doesn’t add up.
You think it’s about love.
That’s the easy version.
What if that’s not the point?
“Our Song” doesn’t describe love.
It creates the grammar for it.
Love is a language game.
It lasts as long as the rules hold.
Wittgenstein saw it.
Taylor Swift staged it.
This isn’t a theory.
It’s a structure.
Once you see it, you don’t go back.
