Quello che ha salvato la mia vita è stato l’impegno con la mia umanità. Le esigenze che ho percepito dentro di me, le ho assecondate, e questo non mi ha mai fatto accontentare con qualcosa di meno rispetto a tutto quello che la mia umanità esigeva, gridava.

23 I used to float, now I just fall down / I used to know but I’m not sure now / What I was made for / What was I made for? // Takin’ a drive, I was an ideal / Looked so alive, turns out I’m not real /Just something you paid for /What was I made for? // ’Cause I, I /I don’t know how to feel /But I wanna try /I don’t know how to feel /But someday, I might /Someday, I might // When did it end? All the enjoyment / I’m sad again, don’t tell my boyfriend /It’s not what he’s made for /What was I made for? // ’Cause I, ’cause I /I don’t know how to feel

/But I wanna try / I don’t know how to feel /But someday I might /Someday I might // Think I forgot how to be happy /Something I’m not, but something I can be /Something I wait for /Something I’m made for /Something I’m made for » (What Was I Made For?, testo e musica di Billie Eilish e Finneas Baird O’Con- nell, dall’album Barbie: The Album, 2023, © Atlantic Records).

24 «I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser / Midnights become my afternoons / When my depression works the graveyard shift / All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room // I should not be left to my own devices / They come with prices and vices / I end up in crisis (tale as old as time) / I wake up screaming from dreaming / One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving / ‘Cause you got tired of my scheming / (For the last time) // It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me / At tea time, everybody agrees / I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero // Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby / And I’m a monster on the hill / Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city / Pierced through the heart, but never killed // Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism / Like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time) / I wake up screaming from dreaming / One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving / And life will lose all its meaning / (For the last time) // It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me) / At tea time, everybody agrees / I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero // I have this dream my daughter in-law kills me for the money / She thinks I left them in the will / The family gathers ‘round and reads it and then someone screams out / «She’s laughing up at us from hell» // It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me / It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me / It’s me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees // It’s me, hi (hi), I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me) / At tea (tea) time (time), everybody agrees (everybody agrees) / I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero» (Anti-Hero, Taylor Swift, dall’album Midnights, 2022, ©Republic).
