Bad Blood
Ta ylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look at what you've done
'Cause baby now we got bad blood
Hey! I can't take it back, look where I'm at
We was OG like D.O.C., remember that?
My TLC was quite OD, ID my facts
I don't hate you, but I hate to critique, overrate you
These beats of a dark heart, use basslines to replace you
Take time and erase you, love don't hear no more
No, I don't fear no more
Better yet, respect ain't quite sincere no more
Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Remember when you tried to write me off?
Remember when you thought I'd take a loss?
Don't you remember? You thought that I would need ya
Follow procedure, remember? Oh, wait, you got amnesia
It was my season for battle wounds
Battle scars, body bumped, bruised
Stabbed in the back; brimstone, fire jumping through
Still, all my life, I got money and power
And you gotta live with the bad blood now
Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts
(You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go)
Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you love like that, blood runs cold
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
"Bad Blood" is a song by talented artist Taylor Swift, which talks about a broken friendship between the singer and someone she used to consider as a close friend. The lyrics of the song suggest that this friendship has ended in a bitter way and there are now negative feelings between the two friends, which is why they now have "bad blood." The song indicates that there was a time when the two were good friends or something more than that, and the singer is now reflecting on those positive memories. However, the singer and the friend cannot reconcile, and the relationship is now beyond repair.
The song is written in a way that suggests that the friend has wronged the singer in some way, but despite this betrayal, the singer does not have hate for the friend but rather a feeling of disapproval. Taylor Swift implies that she has moved on from the situation, and she now has more money and power than her former friend. The use of the phrase "bad blood" suggests that the relationship is now permanently damaged, and they can never go back to the way things used to be.
Overall, "Bad Blood" portrays the disappointment and let-down that comes with the end of a once meaningful friendship. It highlights the importance of honesty and loyalty in any friendship or meaningful relationship.
