Blank Space Style
Louisa Wendorff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got that James Dean day dream (So it's gonna be forever)
Look in my eye (Or it's gonna go down in flames)
You got that red lip classic (You can tell me when it's over)
Thing that I like (If the high was worth the pain)
And when we go crashing down, (Got a long list of ex-lovers)
We come back every time. (They'll tell you I'm insane)
Never go out of style ('Cause you know I love the players)
Out of style (And you love the game)

Oh, midnight,
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive,
Could end in burning flames or paradise

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby

(And I'll write your name) I got that James Dean daydream
Look in my eye
You got that red lip classic thing that I like
When we go crashing down,
We come back every time
Never go out of style
Out of style

Fade into view,
It's been a while since I have even heard from you

I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time

I got that James Dean day dream (So it's gonna be forever)
Look in my eye (Or it's gonna go down in flames)
You got that red lip classic (You can tell me when it's over)
Thing that I like (If the high was worth the pain)
And when we go crashing down, (Got a long list of ex-lovers)
We come back every time. (They'll tell you I'm insane)
Never go out of style ('Cause you know I love the players)
Out of style (And you love the game)

I got that long hair, slicked back, ('Cause we're young and we're reckless)
White t-shirt (We'll take this way too far)
And you got that good girl faith (It'll leave you breathless)
And a tight little skirt (Or with a nasty scar)
And when we go crashing down, (Got a long list of ex-lovers)
We come back every time (They'll tell you I'm insane)
We never go out of style (But I've got a blank space, baby)
Out of style (And I'll write your name), oh

Midnight,
You come and pick me up, no headlights




Long drive,
Could end in burning flames or paradise

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Louisa Wendorff and Devin Dawson's rendition of "Blank Space" and "Style" combine two hit songs by Taylor Swift, her sixth and seventh chart-topping tracks, respectively. The song "Blank Space," penned by Swift herself alongside Max Martin and Shellback for her 2014 album "1989," tells about the ups and downs of fleeting relationships in which she is often misrepresented in the tabloids as a clingy and crazy girlfriend. On the other hand, "Style," also released in 2014, describes a tumultuous love affair that is both passionate and dangerous.


In the first verse, Wendorff and Dawson sing about their shared love for classic Hollywood cool, referencing the iconic actor James Dean, who embodied the rebel persona and the romanticized idea of taking control of one's own destiny. They recognize the potential for disaster in their volatile relationship and the possibility of recovering from it, time and time again. The choruses reiterate the themes of past relationships, insanity, and the high stakes of love, while suggesting that the allure of the players and the game is irresistible.


The second verse is a nod to the "Style" lyric "we never go out of style," as the singers weave lines from both songs together seamlessly. They state their desire to reconnect with someone with whom they had a tumultuous past, even though they already know it is a bad idea. The final chorus implies that despite the dangerous cycle they find themselves in, they are both willing to play it again and write each other's names in their "blank space."

@maleiadanyail662

So, this is a really good mashup!! My friend that I haven't seen for almost a year asked me to practice and memorize the female part and he would memorize the male part so when we finally see each other again we can sing a duet like old times and show off to everyone!! He's always been my best friend and my singing buddy. I'm glad that this song is the one we chose for when we reunite. πŸ˜„πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜πŸ˜˜
