This song is my favorite in 1989. When the album came out, I was trying to walk away from this guy who sometimes treated me like a girlfriend and sometimes like just a friend. He seemed to like other girls as well. Our relationship was unclear and went on for a year. Then, I decided to end it. It was actually the fifth time I tried to walk away from him. Every morning, I played this song on repeat. I felt like I was not the only one that faced this kind of situation. However, now I am finally clean. :)
I had the same problem. In the end i left him and met another boy who still treats me well. We've been together now for a year and a half:) so Stay positive!
Ammar Rahman There were some parts of me hoping he would make it clear, so I thought I could wait for him. BTW when I decided to give up, it was hard since we share the same friends, and I had to meet him every day.
seriously though, things get hard when the people u wanna forget so bad is actually so close around you. sigh, got same problem, is trying to forget someone but people keep updating me about that person. i wish i have ur strength.
I always play this song in repeat after being sexually assaulted and suffered from self harm last year. I was looking forward to sing "10 months over, I won't give in" it's been ten months right now and I can't stop smiling Edit: The comment section is making me cry i love you and thankyou :> Sending everyone a warm hug 💌
This song hits so fucking hard. After my assault I struggled with eating disorders, depression, panic, the whole nine yards. Years later, after countless close calls and several different therapists, I woke up one day and realized I hadn’t had a panic attack in a month. I had gained nearly 30 lbs (106 to 133). I was happy. He hadn’t even crossed my mind. “Gone was every trace of you, I think I am finally clean.”
The song to me is about.. Having your soul stained by the presence of someone you love very deeply and they abandon you. You gave them the power to hurt you because you didn't think the would but they did. And you have to cry it out, put your head up high and not let it destroy you. Sometimes the only thing you can do is face it. Let the emotions flow and don't hold it back. Because its one of the only ways to move on and grow from it.
This is exactly what I was thinking when I was listening to it on my way to college. There's some things you just have to cry about so that you can let go and get on with life! It's the same with all sorts of mourning. Break-ups, death or tragic incidents. You got that spot on.
My favorite part of this song is actually when she discusses the concept of being 'clean' and having 'ten months sober'. Often we don't see that love (or rather what we think love to be) can be an addiction in and of itself, that people can be an addiction. An unhealthy addiction, at that, but one that consumes us and, inevitably, ends up destroying us. My favorite thing about Taylor is how honest she is about her feelings in her songs, this CD is so amazing because it shows an entirely different side of her, the side of her that picks herself up after she's beaten down.
Who's here after listening to "No amount of freedom gets you clean... I've still got you all over me" Well she wrote this after so many years but she WAS FINALLY CLEAN!! She's a genius
This song is like 'all too well's step sister :') Edit: I still agree with what I commented 6 years ago 😂 and now her new album evermore is my personal favourite. Woah almost at 1k likes too!
If Taylor re-records 1989 last, the last track (if she doesn’t put vault songs last) would be Clean. That means the last lines of her remastered music-the music free of Scooter Braun-would be: “Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean.”
I know this song is about a relationship but I link it to my depression. Rain has always felt so calming to me, like it could wash away all my negative emotions that bubble up. This song feels "cleansing" in the same sense, any time I listen to it in a funk, it helps me think clearer and calmer. I've struggled with depression a long time alone and it can feel like a flood and it can feel like you're screaming on the inside but on the outside you're silent but smiling so no one notices. I'm 24 and I've been a Taylor fan since I was 12-13 and this is her most impactful song to me to this day. Its helped me cope with a lot and I'll always be thankful for that even if shes got no idea who I am and never will.
idk why but this makes me think of self harm. I'm finally clean from self-harm, 5 months. without therapy or help. just myself. idk some of these lyrics just remind me of how I've felt
Can you illustrate the meaning of the lyrics: "Hung my head, as i lost the war And the sky turned black like a perfect storm Rain came pouring down when i was drowning That's when i could finally breathe" Relating these lyrics to the perspective of the topic "peace"?
I have anxiety and I always play this song everytime that I'm feeling down. It gives me hope and it reminds me about taylor swift's speech on one of her concerts regarding our inner voices.
Same:) I thought I was the only one. This song means so much to me. I have social anxiety and I’ve been just generally struggling with life since i was 13. But this song works like a medicine somehow
Taylor is one of the few songwriters who is able to put the listeners right in her shoes. Making them feel exactly the way she does through her songs. All the haters out there may make fun of her love life but even they can't deny that this girl has talent
my favourite lyric was "10 months sober I must admit, just because you clean don't mean you don't miss it" being a person that has stayed sober for 7 months, i thought this was the most realistic line,this song is by far the best by taylor or any means, in any Taylor's song.
When I first heard this song I started crying you can just tell by her voice she's putting all of her emotions into this song. I love this girl to death, she's such a huge inspiration to me and has helped me get through so much. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for her. Been a Swiftie ever since she was 16.
To anyone who doesnt get this song; shes talking about after a breakup where she feels like being away from him is like being in a drought that she needs him to survive because hes like water an she doesnt think she'll survive then just when she thinks everythings all gone 'rain came pouring down' so things got better and in all that destruction and chaos she found herself and survived 'when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe'
No, it's about when she got sexual assaulted, suffered in eating disorder, and when she got bullied by media and she feels like all their words are being written on her skin and she believes that those words was really her but when she learned that those words thrown to her was not really her land that when she feels she's finally clean. + When she won her sexual assault case.
@@ninadrangon in 2012 or 2013 i think if im not mistaken she was groped by a radio dj (idk who but he's a fckng rat) but i dont think this song was originally based on that happenstance, she doesn't really said what context this song is about so that everyone can relate to the song either you were moving on from a break up, getting clean from addiction, ending a bad habit, or stepping out of a trauma.
To me I think this song means this: something hurts you so much for the longest time but when you're at your lowest point all you can do now is go up, that's when you grow strong and you learn to overcome it.
This song touches so many people. My favorite line is “when I was drowning, that is when I could finally breathe.” This is so true. Being immersed in the pain and letting it go can be healing.
"The water filled my lungs I screamed so loud but, no one heard a thing" my favorite lyrics from my favorite song. Taylor you never seize to amaze me...
You All Over Me: No amount of freedom gets you clean Clean: And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean There's actually more references, but this is the most noticeable
This song is amazing... Taylors songwriting talent totally shows... It has a lot of metaphors in it.. It's pretty personal to her... But if you understand it, you'll know the pain she's been through... #SwiftyForEver !
the lyrics dont even make sense the chorus: rain came pouring down when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe how could rain help you breathe when youre drowning in water
I’m 10 month sober of hard drugs today I’m literally so proud of myself I’m never gonna be who I was again I’m clean and I’m happy I never even think about it anymore
I understand them but i have never went through any of them as bad as people who are in those relationships Im those very imaginative people, i can paint a good picture of stories or songs usually and my "friendships" can relate but not as bad as toxic relationships, stay strong yall
'Rain came pouring down when i was drowning, thats when i could finally breathe' for me that means more : this song is really great. Im not a swiftie but this is an amazing song
I was listening to this song while tearing letters and throwing away memories of a long gone love that still hurts, and I just want to thank Taylor and give her a big hug and tell her how much this song helped me to get clean from those hurtful memories… however just because I'm clean don't mean I don't miss him...
This song popped in my head when I realized I have overcome my worst nightmare and that I've come out stronger than I was last year. This exact time last year, I hit the most lowest of my life up until then. I couldn't fathom if there was a way out the dark days at all. I pushed through with slow steady steps. I've a renewed sense of self now. This song is a confirmation of having achieved a feat which I thought undoable in the past.
I'm here after she released You All Over Me from the vault, which is basically like a prelude to clean. Also, this video currently has 13K likes, that's so perfect!
For me personally, I like to think this song is about how a relationship started out good, but it slowly started becoming toxic to the point you feel controlled. And then as soon as you see this manipulation, you stand up for yourself and leave that person behind. But when you did leave, you still remember them for all those months. Despite remembering the person that hurt you, you’re glad that you’re clean and don’t have to deal with that toxicity anymore. This is just the way I look at it :)
I'm about seven months clean of them today exactly. Over halfway to ten months older than the last time I made myself believe they were still my friends. The night I realized this was awful. I must have cried for hours. I felt hopeless and fully alone instead of nearly alone like I had twenty-four hours before, but even just a little time and new experiences made it better. I still have the scars on my heart, and they burn with longing knowing that all three of them are only a text away, but I don't press send or even begin to type. They don't have enough power over my life choices and me. For everyone in a bad relationship, whether it be platonic, romantic, family, etc.- It can get better. p Please note that I don't say "will". It can get better, but it may take some new life choices to be "clean". I left somewhere that had basically raised me to get there. It worked, and I've barely had a bad day in a while. Please don't let life walk all over you. Rise and say, "You think you made me weak, but what you really gave me was a reason to fight." You may not have to do something drastic, but be prepared for change. It can be hard to be clean of anything, but I know it's possible.
listening to this when I've finally started to work on my anxiety disorder and starting to get better. I've been struggling for around 5 years and it's been horrible, I can feel myself getting clean :)) this song describes how I feel so well. "I must admit, just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it"
damn! after 4 years finally clean shuta ka santos pag tapos ng relasyon natin, taas na ng standard ko, 2 years after break up natin kinanta ko rin to, akala ko okay na hindi parin pala kasi hinahanap-hanap ko yung kaugali mo, katulad mo but thank God, dahil ngayon, nagkaron ako ng partner na hindi mo kaugali, ni wala kayong pagkakapareho pero minahal ko. Thank you din sayo kasi ngayon alam kona kung pano ko alagaan at iingatan yung relasyon namin.
I know this song since the day it was released, but I never gave it much attention until now when I can finally relate to it. I fell in love with a boy in my class. All I felt in that relationship was confusion, lack of communication, and the feeling stuck. He was so damn unpredictable, hot and cold, always sent mix signals. Sometimes he is so kind and sweet, sometimes he’s just plain cold and distant. I don’t understand what was in his mind. He would give me hope only to break it by getting a new girlfriend every single month. There were times when I was like: “I’m over”, but then I kept coming back. It was months and months of back and forth. But now, I think I’m finally clean, I really move on. This is the best feeling ever, being clean, being able to put all those pain behind. Didn’t mean to share my personal story on UA-cam, but Taylor made me do it with this lovely song. Thank you so much Queen 👑
I just got my notification of two months clean from self harm! I’m just gonna say that I am so happy for everyone who has overcome addictions and has gone through breakups!!! Edit: I reach 7 months clean in 10 days. Edit2: Nevermind i relapsed 8 days before I hit 10 months….
The amount of ppl that don’t realize this song is about a romantic relationship that “died” and the day she finally came to the realization she was finally clean (healed). This about her Ex and the moment she realized she had finally moved on from him. She’s using metaphors to compare getting over someone like a bad addiction and getting clean. She spoke about why she wrote it in an interview… stating after a 2 week visit in London, she realized she had been in the same city her ex was in for two weeks and didn’t think of him once during her entire stay. At that moment she realized she was finally “clean” of him and had moved on from him.
I love this song so much!!!!! This resonates with me so much because instead of getting over a boy as the song is probably intended to be about I think about me getting over my depression and it just is perfect.
I feel this song after going through an emotionally abusive relationship and finally having people who love me and care about me this is how it feels. And if anyone out there is struggling to walk away from your partner, please do it. You will feel so much better when you realize your worth without them. ❤
I love Taylor so much, she is perfect. And I love her lyrics because it's not a about sex, drugs... The lyrics have a deep meaning. Lyrically clean is one of Taylor's best songs*-* Even though the lyrics are really complicated to understand, I can relate to this song a lot. Love you Taylor❤️
i think this is sequel of 'I Know You're Trouble' where she lost him and she lost herself too just like she said in MV 'I don't know if you know who you are until you lose who you are.' and now in this song she finally set free,she lost him but she found herself.. somehow that's everything', she finally can accept that he's truly gone and moved on. this lyrics is super genius.
I was suicidal… I was confused and didn’t understand my life and why things were happening to me. I hated myself and hated everyone and felt alone and unloved. My bsfs left me a few months ago and couldn’t recover from that. But then I realized they werent rlly good friends. I started feeling better and got over the friendship break up and started loving my life and being kind to everyone. Yesterday was my first official day of being clean! I finally started loving my life and realized haters are fine, in fact we gotta love the haters for giving us a push! And that I have amazing friends who love me and my family loves me. And most of all I love God who saved me and healed me and forgave me for my sins. I’m finally clean…
The drought was the very worst, ah ah When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst It was months, and months of back and forth, ah ah You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean There was nothing left to do, ah ah When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room So I punched a hole in the roof, ah ah Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean I think I am finally clean, ah Said, I think I am finally clean, ah Ten months sober, I must admit Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it Ten months older I won't give in Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it The drought was the very worst, ah ah When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean Finally clean, think I'm finally clean, ah ah Think I'm finally clean
Last fall, me and my friend had a falling out and she was a really close one! Yes, I admit I did something that was bad, but when we stopped being friends it was so much better! She had so much drama and I didn’t need any of that. I needed to release myself! And I did and I feel so much better!
"GUYS JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE ONE SHE DID WITH IMOGEN HEAP THAT ONE SLAYED EVERYONE TO HEAVEN AND BACK I LITERALLY HAD TO PLAN MY FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS BECAUSE I WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT."
I can connect to this song on so many levels. There comes a point in a "relationship" where you just can't go on anymore....even if you're still in love with that person. Beautifully written.
I remember the first time I listened to this song, I was in the middle of trying to get out of an abusive relationship. I was crying to the lines "the water filled my lungs I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing." I felt so suffocated. So helpless. Everytime I manage to get away from him, he comes home to me apologizing, promising to change. And every single time, I feel guilty, & felt it was wrong to let him go because we've been through so much together. So my stupid self takes him back, and the process repeats itself. After a while, I did manage to get myself out of that abusive relationship. "And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean." I just woke up one day, and I felt so free. I don't feel guilty for putting myself first anymore. I don't feel it was wrong to throw away that relationship anymore. I can finally breathe. But, "10 months sober I must admit, just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it." It's been 3 years already. I'm still healing from the aftermath but I'll get there.
This may not be a popular song, but I still love it. This song is a good reminder to not dwell on your past mistakes. Some people may not understand the song, but I do... .... and I see some people in the comments who understand this song also. You guys are awesome. 💜
This isn’t even in my top 30 Taylor Swift songs which just shows how amazing Taylor’s songs are. This song is fabulous and with any other artist, this song would be the best song ever but Taylor is just a flawless artist. She doesn’t have a single bad song
tylor make us realize choosing love means heart breaks and magical moment of fullfillment. shes like our queen of heartbreak singer. coz she know how to be with us when heart of mine was broken part of pieces
Been listening to it since this morning in the pouring rain. I must admit it feels great. Also the fact that finally im 6 months clean of all the traces of someone i dont want in my life anymore.
I am in awe of this song. I love it, and I think it's claimed its spot as my favorite song on the 1989 album! If all Taylor's songs were as meaningful as this, I'd listen to all of them. I was disappointed with some of 1989 for its sheer superficiality. However, I do enjoy it & much of Tay's old music! She is a great person.
I didn't know this song came from her being SA. As a SA survivor I always related to this song & now I know why. Bless her heart....so glad she got justice, healing & now a survivor ❤🙏
About 2 years clean from letting them ruin my mental health every day. Never going back and I’ll never forget how Taylors songs helped me when no one else cared enough to even ask me if i was okay. I hope taylor knows how many lives she’s saved
I dedicate this song to people I used to hate a lot,my friends that grew apart and my very first love.All had smiliar theme of me suffocating in period "resentements or sadness or heartbreak" but now years have passed I feel like I am singing this song
I felt the heartaches, i might not be able to experience it but through her songs you let me know how strong you are. To face this kind of toxicity is nearly to destroying yourself . And you face it with bravery, believing in yourself that you can, and you will. That's why I will always stan a woman like Taylor Swift. I might not be able to see you in person. I will always thank you for every songs you wrote. It became my medication for myself whenever I feel alone, sad, and sometimes thinking how to end up myself. Someday I'll be able to put everything in place. Love you Girl 💕👑.
They should collaborate more often. I honestly wouldn’t mind an entire album of Imogen production and Taylor’s lyrics (especially if the album is dream pop)
I think Clean is one of her best song, lyrically and vocally Clean is a song that has helped me to get through the times that I thought that I would never survive this song has helped me to get through everything, My fears,the times when I felt like there's no one for me ,I felt like the most lonely person, I felt like I was standing alone in the rain,felt like I was drowning,this song has helped me to get through a lot. I get emotional every time listening to this masterpiece Its my most favourite taylor song I know every single word of this song and I'm just waiting for re-recorded Taylor's Version of Clean that would be more sad than the original one
Wow... The entire album was amazing but this song left me breathless (haha). Honestly it just leaves you will a feeling of loss. Sure it was for the better in the long shot, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to feel a teeny bit empty..
I love how honest Taylor is with her lyrics.. She always says that even if she wrote them from her experiences, she write em in a way that all her fans can relate to it.. My boyfriend is a recovering addict and i love this song for him.. It jus sums up both our journey for past 2 years
This song is my favorite in 1989. When the album came out, I was trying to walk away from this guy who sometimes treated me like a girlfriend and sometimes like just a friend. He seemed to like other girls as well. Our relationship was unclear and went on for a year. Then, I decided to end it. It was actually the fifth time I tried to walk away from him. Every morning, I played this song on repeat. I felt like I was not the only one that faced this kind of situation. However, now I am finally clean. :)
You are amazing 😃 please never feel like your not worth it and when your in that kind of relationship and you like him just brake it off
I had the same problem. In the end i left him and met another boy who still treats me well. We've been together now for a year and a half:) so Stay positive!
Punpun Losi what made u feel so hard to leave him in the first place ?
Ammar Rahman There were some parts of me hoping he would make it clear, so I thought I could wait for him. BTW when I decided to give up, it was hard since we share the same friends, and I had to meet him every day.
seriously though, things get hard when the people u wanna forget so bad is actually so close around you. sigh, got same problem, is trying to forget someone but people keep updating me about that person. i wish i have ur strength.
I always play this song in repeat after being sexually assaulted and suffered from self harm last year. I was looking forward to sing "10 months over, I won't give in" it's been ten months right now and I can't stop smiling
Edit: The comment section is making me cry i love you and thankyou :> Sending everyone a warm hug 💌
you are so brave to have to go through all of this distress, and I'm so happy that you have been able to break free :)
Stay strong girl.
I’m proud of you. I hope things will get better and better for you❤️
🤍
so proud of you youre so strong
This song hits so fucking hard. After my assault I struggled with eating disorders, depression, panic, the whole nine yards. Years later, after countless close calls and several different therapists, I woke up one day and realized I hadn’t had a panic attack in a month. I had gained nearly 30 lbs (106 to 133). I was happy. He hadn’t even crossed my mind.
“Gone was every trace of you, I think I am finally clean.”
IM SO PROUD OF YOU DUDE
I am so happy for you, keep going, God bless you🤍
You are so strong! Glad you are fine now💜 fighting!
So proud of you
proud of you so much.
The song to me is about.. Having your soul stained by the presence of someone you love very deeply and they abandon you. You gave them the power to hurt you because you didn't think the would but they did. And you have to cry it out, put your head up high and not let it destroy you. Sometimes the only thing you can do is face it. Let the emotions flow and don't hold it back. Because its one of the only ways to move on and grow from it.
Holy Crap you nailed the meaning of this song!!

a very clear description
One of those songs that you don't like initially but gets addicted to overtime
Exactly!!
Yeah! \m/
Yup
Definitely!!!
I'm addicted to the sad version, hooked me in right away
Who's here after listening to "No amount of freedom gets you clean... I've still got you all over me" Well she wrote this after so many years but she WAS FINALLY CLEAN!! She's a genius
Exactly my thoughts! 😭 I love *you all over me* as well... 😊
Omg me too
This song is like 'all too well's step sister :')
Edit: I still agree with what I commented 6 years ago 😂 and now her new album evermore is my personal favourite. Woah almost at 1k likes too!
Exacty my thoughts!!! It gave me that vibe just from the itunes preview!! all too well is my favorite taylor swift song too
It's the second part of all too well ... :) is how I feel it
For me it's like all too well part II
Fearless Faith for me its like the second all too well
If Taylor re-records 1989 last, the last track (if she doesn’t put vault songs last) would be Clean. That means the last lines of her remastered music-the music free of Scooter Braun-would be:
“Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean.”
Damn
I wanted debut to be last for the poetic justice it would bring but this is just as amazing
Stop it right now, I'm this close to crying 😭😭😭
I know this song is about a relationship but I link it to my depression. Rain has always felt so calming to me, like it could wash away all my negative emotions that bubble up.

Happy new year!
me too!
That's interesting!
The song can be everything you want it to be. That’s what I like about Taylor Swift’s songs
Yes, yes, yes girl!!! It’s the same for me ❤
The production on this song is so..... clean! I can hear every little beat individually.
Yeah so true!
I mean imogen heap and taylor what did you expect♥️
Katty yesss i hope they make a song together again 😭
When all the comments are from five years ago and you are from 2020
Lol
Lmao yeah
here in 2020 -this one is about harry too!
😂 yeah
Ikr I love listening to her music even if it’s from years ago
idk why but this makes me think of self harm. I'm finally clean from self-harm, 5 months. without therapy or help. just myself. idk some of these lyrics just remind me of how I've felt
im so proud of you, keep it up💘
You've done amazing! Me and my partner are now a year self harm clean, we also did it without help from anyone, so proud of you!
SOS PRECIOSA SEXY ÚNICA AMOR
TE AMO CON TODA MI ALMA BESITO
It reminds me of the same too. Sending love 💜
❤️❤️❤️
Imogen said taylor wrote all the lyrics and she just added some stuff to the music. Taylor's just an amazing writer.
These lyrics are very much in the style of Imogen Heap's though. Especially the chorus. And I think her voice is backing Taylor's.
Imogen didn't say anything, they are both credited in the album, so that means that they BOTH wrote this song.
***** Imogen Heap is a musician, you should UA-cam her, good music :)
Imogen said so in her blog post though
Apparently Imogene did background vocals too.
THE SEQUEL TO "YOU ALL OVER ME"
am i the only one that understands the song and think it's heartbreakingly beautiful?
Can you illustrate the meaning of the lyrics:
"Hung my head, as i lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
Rain came pouring down when i was drowning
That's when i could finally breathe"
Relating these lyrics to the perspective of the topic "peace"?
I can relate to it. Getting out of a toxic relationship and finding hope that never was
@@mrsparkkimjeon9985 Can you explain further about peace? What is peace to you?
@@drowninginthedeepnessofher1032 peace to me is not seeing myself in a bad light, just because someone fed it to me for years
Such a cringe comment.
I have anxiety and I always play this song everytime that I'm feeling down. It gives me hope and it reminds me about taylor swift's speech on one of her concerts regarding our inner voices.
Stay strong girl! 💕💕
@@lobelies thanks :)
Same:) I thought I was the only one. This song means so much to me. I have social anxiety and I’ve been just generally struggling with life since i was 13. But this song works like a medicine somehow
Hope you stay strong and get better🥺🌸
Soon you'll get better
Can’t believe that I used to listen to this song in 2014, but I could finally relate to it in 2020.
Well, we have all been washing our hands a lot more lately
@@aleahdodson1889 lmaooo😂😂😂😂😂
I just discovered it now 🌝
“You all over me” wants to talk to you
Omg exactly!
Taylor is one of the few songwriters who is able to put the listeners right in her shoes. Making them feel exactly the way she does through her songs. All the haters out there may make fun of her love life but even they can't deny that this girl has talent
my favourite lyric was
"10 months sober I must admit, just because you clean don't mean you don't miss it"
being a person that has stayed sober for 7 months, i thought this was the most realistic line,this song is by far the best by taylor or any means, in any Taylor's song.
Congratulations :D 💜
Is that tiffany from SNSD in your profile pic?
proud of you :)
My too :) xx
hey how u doing now?
When I first heard this song I started crying you can just tell by her voice she's putting all of her emotions into this song. I love this girl to death, she's such a huge inspiration to me and has helped me get through so much. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for her. Been a Swiftie ever since she was 16.
period
To anyone who doesnt get this song; shes talking about after a breakup where she feels like being away from him is like being in a drought that she needs him to survive because hes like water an she doesnt think she'll survive then just when she thinks everythings all gone 'rain came pouring down' so things got better and in all that destruction and chaos she found herself and survived 'when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe'
No, it's about when she got sexual assaulted, suffered in eating disorder, and when she got bullied by media and she feels like all their words are being written on her skin and she believes that those words was really her but when she learned that those words thrown to her was not really her land that when she feels she's finally clean. + When she won her sexual assault case.

@@ninadrangon in 2012 or 2013 i think if im not mistaken she was groped by a radio dj (idk who but he's a fckng rat) but i dont think this song was originally based on that happenstance, she doesn't really said what context this song is about so that everyone can relate to the song either you were moving on from a break up, getting clean from addiction, ending a bad habit, or stepping out of a trauma.
That moment when one of Taylor’s lyrics randomly pops into your mind and now you’re stuck in a full on marathon
The most beautiful of the album.
To me I think this song means this: something hurts you so much for the longest time but when you're at your lowest point all you can do now is go up, that's when you grow strong and you learn to overcome it.
Nothing greater than waking up and realizing that your clean.
EVERYONE IM A YEAR SOBER OF HARD DRUGS IM SO FUCKING HAPPY I DID IT I FINALLY FUCKING DID IT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE IT TO THIS PLACE IM SO HAPPY
Proud of you
im so fucking proud of you!
So so proud of ya!!
This song touches so many people. My favorite line is “when I was drowning, that is when I could finally breathe.” This is so true. Being immersed in the pain and letting it go can be healing.
"The water filled my lungs I screamed so loud but, no one heard a thing" my favorite lyrics from my favorite song. Taylor you never seize to amaze me...

A good sign that you move on without bitterness and hatred, just a "clean" continuation of life.
That instrumental part at the beginning gave me chills the first time I heard it. Taylor did a great job!
You All Over Me: No amount of freedom gets you clean
Clean: And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean
There's actually more references, but this is the most noticeable
This song is amazing... Taylors songwriting talent totally shows... It has a lot of metaphors in it.. It's pretty personal to her... But if you understand it, you'll know the pain she's been through... #SwiftyForEver !
the lyrics dont even make sense
the chorus:
rain came pouring down
when i was drowning
thats when i could finally breathe
how could rain help you breathe when youre drowning in water

this hit me right in the heart and feels. this would be a good song to listen to when you're down so u can feel like someone understand you for once.
I’m 10 month sober of hard drugs today I’m literally so proud of myself I’m never gonna be who I was again I’m clean and I’m happy I never even think about it anymore
Only a few will understand all the metaphors, and if you get all of them, I'm sorry stay strong
thank you
Thank you,I needed that
I understand them but i have never went through any of them as bad as people who are in those relationships
Im those very imaginative people, i can paint a good picture of stories or songs usually and my "friendships" can relate but not as bad as toxic relationships, stay strong yall
i think many can understand but only few can feel it :)
@@harrystyleswhore8149 completely agreed
She wrote this song with Imogen Heap, who is absolutely brilliant. She even provided the backup vocals. I'm so glad that they collaborated together!!!
'Rain came pouring down when i was drowning, thats when i could finally breathe' for me that means more : this song is really great. Im not a swiftie but this is an amazing song
I was listening to this song while tearing letters and throwing away memories of a long gone love that still hurts, and I just want to thank Taylor and give her a big hug and tell her how much this song helped me to get clean from those hurtful memories… however just because I'm clean don't mean I don't miss him...
"... when I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe..."
My first thought : Is she a mermaid?!
Yes. Don’t tell anyone though
This song popped in my head when I realized I have overcome my worst nightmare and that I've come out stronger than I was last year. This exact time last year, I hit the most lowest of my life up until then. I couldn't fathom if there was a way out the dark days at all. I pushed through with slow steady steps. I've a renewed sense of self now. This song is a confirmation of having achieved a feat which I thought undoable in the past.
I hope you have been doing better
I'm here after she released You All Over Me from the vault, which is basically like a prelude to clean. Also, this video currently has 13K likes, that's so perfect!
My favorite album she's made so far , just in love with every song on this album
This song and the entire album is just... beautiful
For me personally, I like to think this song is about how a relationship started out good, but it slowly started becoming toxic to the point you feel controlled. And then as soon as you see this manipulation, you stand up for yourself and leave that person behind. But when you did leave, you still remember them for all those months. Despite remembering the person that hurt you, you’re glad that you’re clean and don’t have to deal with that toxicity anymore. This is just the way I look at it :)
"When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst". No lyrics can be more relatable than this for me. November 2021.
There's no amount of freedom makes you clean
I think i'm finally clean
I'm about seven months clean of them today exactly. Over halfway to ten months older than the last time I made myself believe they were still my friends.
The night I realized this was awful. I must have cried for hours. I felt hopeless and fully alone instead of nearly alone like I had twenty-four hours before, but even just a little time and new experiences made it better. I still have the scars on my heart, and they burn with longing knowing that all three of them are only a text away, but I don't press send or even begin to type. They don't have enough power over my life choices and me.
For everyone in a bad relationship, whether it be platonic, romantic, family, etc.- It can get better. p
Please note that I don't say "will". It can get better, but it may take some new life choices to be "clean". I left somewhere that had basically raised me to get there. It worked, and I've barely had a bad day in a while. Please don't let life walk all over you. Rise and say, "You think you made me weak, but what you really gave me was a reason to fight." You may not have to do something drastic, but be prepared for change. It can be hard to be clean of anything, but I know it's possible.
Imagine you're sitting on your front porch listening this when there's pouring rain outside.
I choose to believe that this is the sequel of Treacherous.
I always thought of All Too Well idk
Saber Morrison That makes sense.
I agree! the feels! It feels like its the treacherous of 1989 era
I thought of this as the sequel to teardrops on my guitar
I totally agree
This is probably her recovery from All Too Well.. It's so sad and good
listening to this when I've finally started to work on my anxiety disorder and starting to get better. I've been struggling for around 5 years and it's been horrible, I can feel myself getting clean :)) this song describes how I feel so well. "I must admit, just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it"
damn! after 4 years finally clean shuta ka santos pag tapos ng relasyon natin, taas na ng standard ko, 2 years after break up natin kinanta ko rin to, akala ko okay na hindi parin pala kasi hinahanap-hanap ko yung kaugali mo, katulad mo but thank God, dahil ngayon, nagkaron ako ng partner na hindi mo kaugali, ni wala kayong pagkakapareho pero minahal ko. Thank you din sayo kasi ngayon alam kona kung pano ko alagaan at iingatan yung relasyon namin.
Go beh
ss ate HAHAHAHA
After having a shower ,
Me:I think i am Finally clean.
I know this song since the day it was released, but I never gave it much attention until now when I can finally relate to it.
I fell in love with a boy in my class. All I felt in that relationship was confusion, lack of communication, and the feeling stuck. He was so damn unpredictable, hot and cold, always sent mix signals. Sometimes he is so kind and sweet, sometimes he’s just plain cold and distant. I don’t understand what was in his mind. He would give me hope only to break it by getting a new girlfriend every single month. There were times when I was like: “I’m over”, but then I kept coming back. It was months and months of back and forth. But now, I think I’m finally clean, I really move on. This is the best feeling ever, being clean, being able to put all those pain behind. Didn’t mean to share my personal story on UA-cam, but Taylor made me do it with this lovely song. Thank you so much Queen 👑
I just got my notification of two months clean from self harm! I’m just gonna say that I am so happy for everyone who has overcome addictions and has gone through breakups!!!
Edit: I reach 7 months clean in 10 days.
Edit2: Nevermind i relapsed 8 days before I hit 10 months….
this is a masterpiece and so is every other song on this album tbh
The amount of ppl that don’t realize this song is about a romantic relationship that “died” and the day she finally came to the realization she was finally clean (healed). This about her Ex and the moment she realized she had finally moved on from him. She’s using metaphors to compare getting over someone like a bad addiction and getting clean. She spoke about why she wrote it in an interview… stating after a 2 week visit in London, she realized she had been in the same city her ex was in for two weeks and didn’t think of him once during her entire stay. At that moment she realized she was finally “clean” of him and had moved on from him.
@@Idkwhattonamemyself545it's about whatever you want to. it's art and can be interpreted in many ways
I love this song so much!!!!!
This resonates with me so much because instead of getting over a boy as the song is probably intended to be about I think about me getting over my depression and it just is perfect.
Even ghouls listen to taylor huehuehue
That's beautiful!
kaneki what are u doing here
I feel this song after going through an emotionally abusive relationship and finally having people who love me and care about me this is how it feels. And if anyone out there is struggling to walk away from your partner, please do it. You will feel so much better when you realize your worth without them. ❤
I love Taylor so much, she is perfect. And I love her lyrics because it's not a about sex, drugs...
The lyrics have a deep meaning.
Lyrically clean is one of Taylor's best songs*-*
Even though the lyrics are really complicated to understand, I can relate to this song a lot.
Love you Taylor❤️
Now she wrote about sex too and they're amazing
@@aditibisht22 and used drugs as a metaphor lmfao
i think this is sequel of 'I Know You're Trouble' where she lost him and she lost herself too just like she said in MV 'I don't know if you know who you are until you lose who you are.' and now in this song she finally set free,she lost him but she found herself.. somehow that's everything', she finally can accept that he's truly gone and moved on. this lyrics is super genius.
I was suicidal… I was confused and didn’t understand my life and why things were happening to me. I hated myself and hated everyone and felt alone and unloved. My bsfs left me a few months ago and couldn’t recover from that. But then I realized they werent rlly good friends. I started feeling better and got over the friendship break up and started loving my life and being kind to everyone. Yesterday was my first official day of being clean! I finally started loving my life and realized haters are fine, in fact we gotta love the haters for giving us a push! And that I have amazing friends who love me and my family loves me. And most of all I love God who saved me and healed me and forgave me for my sins. I’m finally clean…
The flowers we grew together died from thirst
This song is so metaphorical, it's beautiful
The drought was the very worst, ah ah
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months, and months of back and forth, ah ah
You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
There was nothing left to do, ah ah
When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof, ah ah
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
I think I am finally clean, ah
Said, I think I am finally clean, ah
Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
Ten months older I won't give in
Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it
The drought was the very worst, ah ah
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
Finally clean, think I'm finally clean, ah ah
Think I'm finally clean
Last fall, me and my friend had a falling out and she was a really close one! Yes, I admit I did something that was bad, but when we stopped being friends it was so much better! She had so much drama and I didn’t need any of that. I needed to release myself! And I did and I feel so much better!
Friendship breakups are sometimes worse than a romantic one. Happy for you!

This song helped me so much when my depression was the worst. She saved my life
Only a super talented artist could have written a song like this.
I can connect to this song on so many levels. There comes a point in a "relationship" where you just can't go on anymore....even if you're still in love with that person.
Beautifully written.
I remember the first time I listened to this song, I was in the middle of trying to get out of an abusive relationship. I was crying to the lines "the water filled my lungs I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing." I felt so suffocated. So helpless. Everytime I manage to get away from him, he comes home to me apologizing, promising to change. And every single time, I feel guilty, & felt it was wrong to let him go because we've been through so much together. So my stupid self takes him back, and the process repeats itself.
After a while, I did manage to get myself out of that abusive relationship. "And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean." I just woke up one day, and I felt so free. I don't feel guilty for putting myself first anymore. I don't feel it was wrong to throw away that relationship anymore. I can finally breathe.
But, "10 months sober I must admit, just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it." It's been 3 years already. I'm still healing from the aftermath but I'll get there.
She could rhyme breathe with clean, such a legend
This song is as good as i remembered
Taylor's music always have a deep meaning hard to explain.
This may not be a popular song, but I still love it.
This song is a good reminder to not dwell on your past mistakes.
Some people may not understand the song, but I do...
.... and I see some people in the comments who understand this song also.
You guys are awesome. 💜
This isn’t even in my top 30 Taylor Swift songs which just shows how amazing Taylor’s songs are. This song is fabulous and with any other artist, this song would be the best song ever but Taylor is just a flawless artist. She doesn’t have a single bad song
tylor make us realize choosing love means heart breaks and magical moment of fullfillment.
shes like our queen of heartbreak singer. coz she know how to be with us when heart of mine was broken part of pieces
I was 25, high and living in the back of a moving truck with I first listened to this.. This album will always have a special place in my heart.
Been listening to it since this morning in the pouring rain. I must admit it feels great. Also the fact that finally im 6 months clean of all the traces of someone i dont want in my life anymore.
0:48 "You're still all over me" , see the connection?? Hahha
I just found out that this song was produced with Imogen Heap. I definitely hear the influence in the style of this song. So awesome!
For me this song is about battling with anxiety disorder. I think I’m finally clean
I am in awe of this song. I love it, and I think it's claimed its spot as my favorite song on the 1989 album! If all Taylor's songs were as meaningful as this, I'd listen to all of them. I was disappointed with some of 1989 for its sheer superficiality. However, I do enjoy it & much of Tay's old music! She is a great person.
We all appreciate this. Hopefully they don't take them down!!
This is every brokenhearted healing mantra.
I didn't know this song came from her being SA. As a SA survivor I always related to this song & now I know why. Bless her heart....so glad she got justice, healing & now a survivor ❤🙏
About 2 years clean from letting them ruin my mental health every day. Never going back and I’ll never forget how Taylors songs helped me when no one else cared enough to even ask me if i was okay. I hope taylor knows how many lives she’s saved
I wanna be clean from depression and go back here when it's finally gone. I don't know if I will make it alive until then.
And we will be waiting here for you, to come back x
I dedicate this song to people I used to hate a lot,my friends that grew apart and my very first love.All had smiliar theme of me suffocating in period "resentements or sadness or heartbreak" but now years have passed I feel like I am singing this song
I felt the heartaches, i might not be able to experience it but through her songs you let me know how strong you are. To face this kind of toxicity is nearly to destroying yourself . And you face it with bravery, believing in yourself that you can, and you will. That's why I will always stan a woman like Taylor Swift. I might not be able to see you in person. I will always thank you for every songs you wrote. It became my medication for myself whenever I feel alone, sad, and sometimes thinking how to end up myself. Someday I'll be able to put everything in place. Love you Girl 💕👑.
I'm having a hard time picking a favorite song from 1989, but this and Wildest Dreams are my two favorites for sure.
Aww the memories of us.
This song is just criminally underrated
Imogen's production + Taylor's voice = Heaven
They should collaborate more often. I honestly wouldn’t mind an entire album of Imogen production and Taylor’s lyrics (especially if the album is dream pop)
Best song on the album lyrically no question
Damn, this is her best song yet.
I think Clean is one of her best song, lyrically and vocally
Clean is a song that has helped me to get through the times that I thought that I would never survive this song has helped me to get through everything,
My fears,the times when I felt like there's no one for me ,I felt like the most lonely person, I felt like I was standing alone in the rain,felt like I was drowning,this song has helped me to get through a lot.
I get emotional every time listening to this masterpiece
Its my most favourite taylor song
I know every single word of this song and I'm just waiting for re-recorded Taylor's Version of Clean that would be more sad than the original one
All of her music is absolutely amazing, however, 1989, was her best album!!!! Hands down! 😭❤️
Wow... The entire album was amazing but this song left me breathless (haha). Honestly it just leaves you will a feeling of loss. Sure it was for the better in the long shot, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to feel a teeny bit empty..
I love how honest Taylor is with her lyrics.. She always says that even if she wrote them from her experiences, she write em in a way that all her fans can relate to it.. My boyfriend is a recovering addict and i love this song for him.. It jus sums up both our journey for past 2 years
