Got it. Someone will look.
What is this song about?
A woman tells her ex's new girlfriend she will be present in every kiss between them, listing what he learned from her.
What Might This Song Do to the Listener?
An individual who plays Taste on repeat comes to treat a former partner's new relationship as territory still held. Prior intimacy is presented as a permanent trace inside the couple's present life, and the successor is addressed directly with that claim. Possession outlasts the relationship.
Repeated exposure sharpens the impulse to unsettle a replacement, since the satisfaction on offer lies in being remembered during someone else's moment. Attention stays fixed on the couple that formed afterward. The individual keeps a claim filed.
What Might This Song Do to a Society?
A society that circulates Taste treats a former partner as a continuing presence inside a new couple's intimacy. Communal singing directs a claim at the person who came next and keeps a man circulating as shared property. Endings acquire an aftermath.
At the population level, new relationships are conducted under the observation of prior ones, and needling a successor becomes an accepted gesture. Trust between partners requires more reassurance. People inherit each other's histories in detail.
Dogma Reference
Dogma Reference is a metadata tag, not a score modifier. It flags only when a specific doctrinal framework (Christian, Islamic, Karmic/Dharmic, Institutional) is load-bearing — when worshipping inside, proclaiming, or asserting that doctrine is what the song is for. Naming the sacred does not fire the tag, and neither does a passing scriptural allusion used to illustrate a point in an otherwise secular song. Doing the doctrine does.
Audience Vibe
The compass reads the lyrics. The Audience Vibe reads the people — the general place the audience thinks the compass should be pointing for this song, not a raw tally of votes. Two needles, one song; the gap between them is the data.

How the Audience Vibe is calculated
The needle is the compass score nudged by the crowd — never a raw tally. Every "push higher," "push lower," and "agree" vote is recombined into one position each time someone votes:
- Direction comes from the split. Only the gap between higher and lower votes moves the needle. "Agree" votes pull it back toward the compass score.
- It takes a crowd. Early votes move it gently — a handful shifts it only a point or two. The more lopsided the crowd, the further it goes.
- It's capped. The audience can pull a song at most 15 points off the compass score, either direction. No pile-on can push it past that.
So a single "push lower" on a song with few votes moves the needle a little (often a point or two), not all the way down — and it can never run away.
Audience Resonance
The compass reads the song; the Audience Vibe reads whether the crowd agrees. Audience Resonance reads something else: what the song actually did to the people who lived with it, and whether the lift it gave was real. See the whole map →
