Annabel Pee posted:Its not saying that though, its: They are literally two different statements. "The only one for me is you" -- This is about the singer's feelings towards the subject of the song. Taken on its own, it says absolutely nothing about whether the feeling is mutual and leaves open the possibility that the subject could love someone else, even if the singer can't. "and you for me" (or taken as its implied statement, "and the only one for you is me") -- This is about the singer's belief/assumption that the subject of the song must feel the same way about them, and isn't capable of loving anyone else.

Generic American posted:"and you for me" (or taken as its implied statement, "and the only one for you is me") 'The only one for me is you and (the only one for) you is me' or 'The only one for me is you and I (am the only one) for you' But it uses "for me" in both cases, which are two words but is one single phrase (I've been informed by someone nearby who is smarter than me that it's a prepositional modifier). 'The only one for me is you and you ([is/are] the only one) for me' e: Actually that's a better way to phrase it. If we rearrange the first line into more natural English while retaining the meaning it becomes: 'You are the only one for me, and you (are the only one) for me' Splicer has a new favorite as of 16:31 on Feb 11, 2023 |

"the only one for me is you and the only one for you is me" is equal to "the only one for me is you and for you is me" is not equal to "the only one for me is you and you for me" you can't just reverse the preposition and preserve the same meaning

until it was just pointed out I've been stumbling over that lyric for years without ever stopping to realize the implications (I always want to say "and for you is me") so I'm not sure if that's actually better or worse

To put it in terms goons will understand, when Vivec achieved Chim it was "I AM ALL ARE WE". We are all part of a multitudinous singularity, a drop in a river. Dagoth Ur, on the other hand, had anti-Chim "I AM AND ALL ARE ME". So the collective is a subset of him as opposed to him being a subset of the collective. The Turtles song "Happy Together" works on that same distinction.

Actually a Bruce Springsteen song, and in the grand tradition of Springsteen songs it's a very nuanced take on a flawed working-class character with no good options in a tough situation.

Yeah, struggling to think of a song with more subtext as well. The whole story is just under the surface.

Yeah I've never heard any Texan accent that made pride and fad sound similar, and I am all too familiar with West Texas accents. Pride/prod being similar I have heard, though. I just made myself sad that I realize I've lived basically everywhere in Texas. I spent way too long in that state.

“Fahd” is also how a Boston guy says “fad.” It’s like the “bacon/beer can” trick.

Accents are a very funny thing, you'd be shocked how diverse they can be- and that pretty much everywhere on the planet has the same things happen in some ways. Nowadays there's a homogenising effect from mass media, but well, for most of human history, regional accents are basically how different languages develop eventually.

In the UK it's actually going the other way. The BBC adopted received pronunciation in the 1920s as a standard, so regardless where you were from, that's how you had to talk while on air, so it's the accent we got famous for. How many people speak RP in real life? Less than 3%. They finally dropped it I think in the 90s? But its still taken a while for people with stronger accents to get the 10'oClock news segment.

Perfect “fell asleep on the couch watching tv and woke up to late-night cartoons in the 90’s” feeling. Idk how they’ve held up, but i want to leave them where they were and not gently caress up my vague fond memories of either show.
