Taylor Swift - Death By A Thousand Cuts (with LYRICS)

[@hanasashimi]

"I asked the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say I don't know." Traffic Lights was invented on 1923. It tells the car drivers on how they should move according to it's color coding. Green = Go Yellow = Slowdown Red = Stop The song is about being stucked from letting go and holding on. In this line, she decided to depend her answer to whatever color the Traffic Light would give. If it's Green, she'll completely let him go If it's Yellow, she'll have to move on slowly If it's Red, she should stop thinking about him. If Traffic Lights aren't working properly, it'll lead to Car Accidents In the song, even the traffic lights didn't know what to say. So she ended up crashing like cars, and torn from a thousand cuts.

I've never thought about it in this way before. Taylor is a such great songwriter 💞

[@Minatozaki_Icarie]

Omy, What a great analyzing. Here before this blew up

This is an amazing interpretation of the song. Thank you

Traffic lights WERE invented IN 1923.

this song is actually so sad if you really listen to the lyrics

[@maimorata]

Heartbreaking actually. I was madly addicted to this song throughout my journey in moving on a bad breakup.

[@karissaicon5110]

IT IS!! 😭😭 I cried because of the lyrics!! It's like you're happy outside because of the beat and deep inside it hurts like the lyrics! 😭

[@metallicchains3931]

Have you heard the cover by J Edward??? It's sadddd

[@krettikaroyratri5308]

Just listen acoustic version, it hits like a truck!!!! 😭😭

[@crystalmaureensantillan6406]

"Quiet my fears with a touch of your hand." As someone who has a lot of fears, this is just soooo relatable in so many levels 🥺🥺

[@gracebolton7767]

"I look through the windows of this love even though we boarded them up" Taylor loves her metaphors and she always comes up with such unique and meaningful ones!

Taylor never fails to capture what something feels like. Death by a Thousand Cuts is the most accurate on my breakup playlist. My 3- year relationship with my soulmate ended more than a month ago. I'm still grieving and this song is exactly how the heartbreak feels.

[@Bpatel_0608]

I am so sorry for your loss...I hope you're doing okay....if you feel to share and need help, i am here!!😊

[@chewy_mochiiart]

@@Bpatel_0608 thank you so much! I appreciate it. 💛💛💛

[@taangerineeee]

i wish i had discovered this song when I was going through that, it's exactly how I felt like at that time. Trying to find answers anywhere, even traffic lights! I hope you're doing better now

[@hummingbyrde]

She has a way to put feelings into words…thats why she’s so relatable! “I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home, I ask the traffic lights if it will be alright” I have done all of that in moments of despair and depression!

[@catherinecuela5617]

The way she says "its okay" killed me

Same 😭

[@jomama5186]

The traffic light saying Idk kills me!

[@joyannjeffrey4683]

My favorite line was "I look through the windows of this love even though we boarded them up. Chandelier still flickering here 'cause I can't pretend it's OK when it's not." I got chills cause that says everything about moving on from someone u loved.

Am I only one who thinks that song is related to “paper rings” ? Because she first says “ I like shiny things but I marry you with paper rings” and then in this songs it’s “Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans” 😭😭😭
