Bad Blood
Taylor 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) now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
(Hey) did you have to do this?
I was thinking that you could be trusted
Did you have to ruin what was shiny, now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me, where I'm weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe
And rub it in so deep
Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me
Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times
You and I
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
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) now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we got bad blood
(Hey) did you think we'd be fine?
Still got scars on my back from your knife
So don't think it's in the past
These kind of wounds they last and they last
Now did you think it all through?
All these things will catch up to you
And time can heal but this won't
So if you're coming my way, just don't
Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times
You and I
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
(Hey) now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood
(Hey) band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts (ghosts)
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes (hey)
You say sorry just for show (hey)
If you live like that, you live with ghosts (hey)
Mmm, if you love like that, blood runs cold
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood (bad blood)
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em (think we can solve 'em)
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood
('Cause now we got bad blood) 'cause baby now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done (look what you've done)
'Cause baby now we got bad blood (whoa)
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood (hey)
"Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift is a song about betrayal and revenge. The lyrics talk about two people who used to have a great relationship but because of a deep hurt that one caused to the other, they now have bad blood between them. The chorus talks about how they used to have mad love, but now they have bad blood, and it's something that can't be solved.
The lyrics talk about the hurt that the other person caused and how it was a really deep cut. The person who was hurt is questioning why the other person had to ruin what was once shiny and make it all rusty. They also talk about how the other person hit them where they were weak and rubbed it in so deep like salt in a wound. The lyrics suggest that the other person is now laughing at them, which is making them sad to think about the good times they once had.
The lyrics also talk about how apologies won't fix the hurt that was caused. The metaphor "band-aids don't fix bullet holes" suggests that a simple apology won't heal the wound that was caused. The song ends with the chorus repeating the idea that they used to have mad love, but now they have bad blood.
Overall, "Bad Blood" is a powerful song about the pain of betrayal and the difficulty of forgiving someone who has harmed us deeply.
