"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 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

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.❤❤❤
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."
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” 😭😭😭

Kabalo ko dili jd ka fan ni Taylor and I know di jd ka ga paminaw ani, ky lahi mn tag culture and tradition. We don't even speak the same language but na happy ko sa 2 months na pag talk nato. Kabalo ko ako man ang nag let go, pro the way you just let me go so easily really pains me 'till now. I think deserve sd nako ning pain na ni ky Idk basin daghan lang jd ko gipa sakitan na tao sakong past life and present life na nakalimot na nako. Till this day I still trying to forget you like how you did the same. I know wla na ta ka talk pila na ka months and gi accept na nako ang fact na dili na jd ta mag talk usab, but sakit ra jd kaayo. I'm still learning and I'm still moving on, while you... you're busy with your acads and all wla koy against ana pro you should've treated me better and just give me a lil more time unta. Unta lage ko nimo gina update sa imong mga ginabuhat because I need it. Pro kinsa mn diay ko? Di mn ta uyab gni. HAHAHA Pero I hope happy ka and do your best sa imong studies. I just hope you still remember me. Rhyn.
Laban diha kapwa bisaya og ka hopeless romantic. Hehehe. Dinhe jud nimu gibuhos imung emotions. Nakatawa ko nga na touch gabasa ani. Nakatawa kay wa ko ga expect naay bisaya mag confess.2 dinhe.

"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 🥺🥺
"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?
"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 🏠 ❤💯💪🏽🔥
If the story is over then why am I still writing pages 😭😭
You are not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now?
@@rakhi1408 exile ?

Cruel Summer
Death By A Thousand Cuts

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_mochiiartu’re doing great honey❤❤❤
I am listening to this while my ex is literally in the other side of the room because we work together :$
omg no
Hahaha
No way just snap at him
Oh gosh that would kill me off :(
Let us know if you and him will going back🙆♂️
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 😪
What a frickin' great song. Love you Taylor!!!
The way she says "its okay" killed me
Same 😭
The traffic light saying Idk kills me!
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
this is one of her best songs
I really love each and every songs of Taylor😍
ME too (pun intended)
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.❤❤❤
It's just soooooooo good 🤩😍can't even explain in words..... 😭😭
1:58 this bridge omfg
this is my favorite taylor bridge omg
@@halcyonskiess same
this bridge and cruel summer bridge are sooo amazingg
but I'll be alright, is just a thounsand cuts...
Can't wait for the video
Too bad it won't happen now lol 😩
Lover album really is so good!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I can not. This song is the greatest
I can sing
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🤩
she explains her pain so artistically
Love this song so much❤️ love you taylor!
This song. I can't stop listening to it.
Listening this before reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer, and it kills me
One of my all time faves
"Saying goodbye is death by thousand cuts " Is just soo catchy
My body, my love, my trust
1:58 is perfection
it's 2021 and i still can't get over THIS BRIDGE
„gave you too much but it wasn’t enough” that broke me because it’s exactly what happened
Taylor: Is it gonna be alright??
🚦: 🤔
It's probably yellow...
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough.
But I'll be alright, its just a thousand cuts.
Who agrees with me that Taylor is just a GENIOUS songwriter❤
I get drunk but it's not enough 💔
Have you seen the movie someone great?
@Makenzie Patterson the song is inspired on the movie
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
Masterpiece
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."
ty for that
issa vibe right noww
so in love with this song
Thank you for the amazing video Holly. ❤
coming back here when it doesnt hurt anymore
I Love this song, ur not changing my mind ❤😭😭
Death by a thousand cuts=We share a small town
Taylors Version White Horse=This is a small town this aint a fairytale
Boy this gives 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 😊
Any swifties here
This masterpiece reminds me of IT ENDS WITH US🥺
Reminds of scandal series... 'the story ends with us'
I cant believe we will never get to experience lover fest 💔😭
In the blink of an eye this song becomes 10 yes old
Thank you for this
I like her each and every song that's why I love taylor swift ❤❤❤❤
the vibe is like cornelia street
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”
😭😭😭
Great work 😊❤❤
This songs makes me love for only 2 sentence "pouring" and "morning"
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.
I finally sang the fast part perfectly🤣🩷💙🩵💛
Wow!💖
love this song
I'll be alright it's just a thousand cuts
Paper airplane, paper ring, paper cut, paper thin plans...
My my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my is going to be my ringtone
aaaaw3some
1:57
I love this song!!!!
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?
'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 still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Trying to 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 stings from our paper thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts
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 ok when it's not
No, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts (you didn't touch)
Trying to 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
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right
They say, "I don't know"
lovw
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"
"paper-cut stains from our paper thin plans"
How does she come up with these lyrics
[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🖤🖤
I LOVE THIS
1:57 all those TikTok bandwagon fans couldn't get a 100 score if there was a lyric guessing filter with this song.
I told my sister to lisen to this I love it!!!!!!
Nice beat
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". 😢🥺
"The "my my my my..." are progressive like creeping normality where the term "death by a thousand cuts" originates from
I feel like she and Travis are IT
1:58 for the iconic bridge ❤
Escuchándola luego de haberme alejado de alguien con quien prometimos luchar porque funcionara pero al final eso casi nos mata ambos.
This bridge >>>>>>>>>>>
Yesss
I hope no one poke me today
This song:
The story is just begining 😇😘😘😘💝🐺🐺🐺🌠
It’s sweet
Be happy hurt my heart with unlimited times n understand love is lie
