"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.
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
@@taangerineeee Yes, I'm doing better now!😊 Now I relate to the midnights album. Now it seems that in every phase of my life, there's a Taylor song that fits
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.
For me it's Gave up on me like a bad drug Now I'm searching for signs for in a haunted club Our songs our films United we stand Our country guess It was a lawless land Quiet my fears with a touch of your hand
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!
It’s so sad that some men will use a woman, hurt a woman, or just don’t know how to love one. So many men have blood on their hands. (Death by a thousand cuts). My prayers are with all women for their healing.❤❤❤

"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 💞
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.
GOLD
this song is actually so sad if you really listen to the lyrics
Heartbreaking actually. I was madly addicted to this song throughout my journey in moving on a bad breakup.
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! 😭
I cried through this😭
Have you heard the cover by J Edward??? It's sadddd
Just listen acoustic version, it hits like a truck!!!!
😭😭
"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 🥺🥺
"Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough. Buy I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts."
That hit me hard, lol.
I take the long way 🏠 ❤💯💪🏽🔥
the whole bridge hits hard
"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!
im doing a figurative languages analysis on this video rn and I'm wondering how is that a metaphor?
If the story is over then why am I still writing pages 😭😭
You are not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now?

I am listening to this while my ex is literally in the other side of the room because we work together :$

No way just snap at him
Oh gosh that would kill me off :(
Let us know if you and him will going back🙆♂️
The way she says "its okay" killed me
Same 😭
The traffic light saying Idk kills me!
Best song on lover
Agreed and that bridge tho 🤭
For me Afterglow
Yes
I can relate to line death by thousands cuts when I’m Dehydrated
Period
"but if the story is over , why I am still writing pages", means a lot for me
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.
For me it's
Gave up on me like a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs for in a haunted club
Our songs our films
United we stand
Our country guess
It was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with a touch of your hand
squad
Same here 😪
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!
Gave you so much,
But it wasn't enough
But it'll be alright,
It's just a thousand cuts
It’s so sad that some men will use a woman, hurt a woman, or just don’t know how to love one. So many men have blood on their hands. (Death by a thousand cuts). My prayers are with all women for their healing.❤❤❤
this is one of her best songs
Nah, none of her songs are good

Too bad it won't happen now lol 😩
Lover album really is so good!
This song. I can't stop listening to it.
It's just soooooooo good 🤩😍can't even explain in words..... 😭😭
Why do people say that Lover is the biggest album flop era of her??? But I still don’t care bc this is my fave🤩
My body, my love, my trust
it's 2021 and i still can't get over THIS BRIDGE
Who agrees with me that Taylor is just a GENIOUS songwriter❤
Listening this before reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer, and it kills me
One of my all time faves
Love this song so much❤️ love you taylor!
ty for that
"Saying goodbye is death by thousand cuts " Is just soo catchy
Masterpiece
I get drunk but it's not enough 💔
Have you seen the movie someone great?
„gave you too much but it wasn’t enough” that broke me because it’s exactly what happened
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough.
But I'll be alright, its just a thousand cuts.
Fave line: "i get drunk but its not enough cause the morning comes and you're not my baby, i look to the windows of this love, even though we boarded them up."
Thank you for the amazing video Holly. ❤
Taylor: Is it gonna be alright??
🚦: 🤔
It's probably yellow...
Death by a thousand cuts=We share a small town
Taylors Version White Horse=This is a small town this aint a fairytale
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I can not. This song is the greatest
I can sing
@otykomut9710 no one asked
issa vibe right noww
1:57
so in love with this song
I Love this song, ur not changing my mind ❤😭😭
1:57 all those TikTok bandwagon fans couldn't get a 100 score if there was a lyric guessing filter with this song.
I asked the traffic lights if it’ll be alright they say “I don’t know”
This last line always hits diff for some reason
coming back here when it doesnt hurt anymore
Thank you for this
Boy this gives me
[Intro]
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
[Chorus]
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 1]
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours is no one's now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
But if the story’s over, why am I still writing pages?
[Chorus]
’Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 2]
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stains from our paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[Chorus]
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
No, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts (You didn't touch)
[Post-Chorus]
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
My body, my love, my trust (It's death by a thousand cuts)
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
[Outro]
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
You deserve likes🖤🖤
Any swifties here
Me
Everyone with their stories, opinions and favorite lyrics and I'm just like: I'm here because I still can't sing the whole bridge well 🤡
Hahaha! Me too 😊
In the blink of an eye this song becomes 10 yes old
Wow!💖
I cant believe we will never get to experience lover fest 💔😭
I finally sang the fast part perfectly🤣🩷💙🩵💛
1:58 for the iconic bridge ❤
Great work 😊❤❤
This masterpiece reminds me of IT ENDS WITH US🥺
Reminds of scandal series... 'the story ends with us'
1:56 bridge
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”
😭😭😭
the vibe is like cornelia street
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
I dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours is no one's now
I see you everywhere
The only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love
One for the ages
But if the story's over
Why am I still writing pages?

I feel like she and Travis are IT
0:05 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This songs makes me love for only 2 sentence "pouring" and "morning"
I told my sister to lisen to this I love it!!!!!!
"paper-cut stains from our paper thin plans"
How does she come up with these lyrics
Death by a thousand books, my brain, my eyes, my head, my looks
Tangled up in grammar, Trying to learn all these rules
My teacher gave up on me, like I was a closed book
Now I'm searching for clues in a language hub
Shakespeare, Austen, united we learn
Our language, guess it was a foreign concern
Silent my doubts with a good grammar burn
Mistakes cut deep in our writing plans"
Escuchándola luego de haberme alejado de alguien con quien prometimos luchar porque funcionara pero al final eso casi nos mata ambos.
I hope no one poke me today
This song:
Nice beat
Definitely can relate to this song. It’s been so hard watching everything spiral in the nearly year and a half since he broke up with me.
3:16 💖
This bridge >>>>>>>>>>>
If u like this song (the lyrics) u should read It ends with us by colleen hoover :)
"Tryna find a part of me you that didn't touch". 😢🥺
