Down Bad
Taylor Swift Lyrics

@Jsmith12292

OMG, I love your piano covers of Taylor. Can't wait to hear this album. ❤

@amirrorballandadearreadergirl

Okay, because no one's understanding in English: Dat geht uns wirklich 'nen Scheiß an, eh

@abigailway3840

Okay but we need to talk about the parallel between "How dare you think it's romantic, leaving me safe and stranded" with "Please leave me stranded, it's so romantic" from New Romantics

I just realized all of her lyrics video looks like PowerPoint presentation. She really aligned the aesthetic of her album even to this. Tortured Poets Department is like an office corporate but poetic thing.

She kind of did it with midnights too this is one of my favorite albums of hers I have been a swiftie since her fearless album the original💛

This is not progressive, this is more New Wave/Synth Pop/Rock. She doesn't use too much progressive rock in her music - which is normal for a lyrics-centered songwriter like her.

@k_dellz

Taylor has such incredible, deep metaphorical lyrics. And this is one of her simplest lines. Yet — it strikes a nerve with me. The gym is a place we go to get AWAY from our emotions. It’s scientifically proven that our brain cannot focus on relationship issues when our body is being physically pushed past its limits. Yet somehow, when we walk through the doors of the gym, and we think about exactly what we’re trying to stop thinking about, that’s when it hits us out of nowhere and we’re ’down bad crying at the gym.’

@softboinard

@CHAFETCO

This one and I Can Do it With A Broken Heart are both seriously so sad and sanguine - it’s like she’s resigned to the fact that she has to put on a brave face, even while her whole world feels like it’s crashing down around her. It’s devastating.

@hur_bella

Taylor Swift explains the meaning behind the song ‘Down Bad’

“‘A lot of the songs on TTPD deal with the idea of heartbreak or loss in a metaphor of something else.
The metaphor in 'Down Bad' is that I was comparing the idea of being love bombed, where someone rocks your world and dazzles you and then just kind of abandons you as a alien obduction where you were abducted by aliens, like, this girl is abducted by aliens, but she wanted to stay with them.. and when they drop her off back in her hometown she said 'wait, no, where are you going? I liked it there. It was weird, but it was cool, come back. and so the girl, the character in the song, felt like, l've just been exposed to a whole different galaxy and universe I didn't know was possible. How can you just put me back where I was before?”

@OldTelivisionRocks

Oh that sounds very much like a Doctor Who companion. But I think this song is more personal than she lets on “like I lost my twin”, someone very much like her. That hurts.

I agree! That's one of the things I find so amazing about her music. I'm a 64 year old lady and my 16 year old granddaughter and I both love Taylor's songs. We bring different life experience to them, but they still connect so deeply.
And remember, we grew up with the Beatles, Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Janis Joplin, so many brilliant writers and singers. And Taylor is blowing me away. Her lyricism and versatility is simply brilliant.

the alien abduction metaphor is somehow so heartbreaking 😭

@FIREGOD333

its so fitting for her aquarius venus i love it

@athaya2992

girl i just realized 🤡🤡 2nd verse is so alien abduction core of her

@@athaya2992 the whole song its starts with "did you really beam me up"

@joelchin6755

I played this song a million times when I became the red flag in a relationship. I beat myself up constantly and took the entire blame upon myself. This song stung 😢

@MaarioViduya

down bad, it is about a girl who was abducted by an alien. she was sent and dropped back on her old town. an alien showed her about our cosmic galaxy. this girl don't want to come back on earth anymore. she was in love with this alien. but it ghosted her and left her out of nothing. (pay attention on the lyrics) taylor is a genius and her imagination is out of this world.

My 12yr old daughter has turned me (42yr old dad) into a swiftie. Incredible new album and an amazing song!!!

@sophia.murrayyy

aww thats amazing❤

@chrissyscholl816

This is one of my favorite things to see. The men who just want to support their daughters and they realize how iconic and amazing it is to be a swiftie.

2:35 "How dare you say that it's - " She stopped herself from saying it, she didn't even wanna do it for the rhyme, because she had maybe not accepted it yet (whoever the song's about) or the mastermind she is loved the thought of people thinking it might be that. And I'd still like to know if it was gonna be "closure" or "over".

@Rosegold1990v

Over. Obviously

@amirrorballandadearreadergirl

@@Rosegold1990v Both would work

@christine-li

I think it may also be symbolic - he never officially told her it was over, he just ghosted her 😢

@chrissyscholl816

This album and for whatever reason this song especially is breaking my soul.

@rufusred44

Great mid tempo pop album. Hearing the songs and seeing the lyrics on YouTube is a more immersive and complete way to enjoy Taylor’s music.

@whitenoise286

Some relationships appear as an experiment. Choosing someone... Observing their reactions...... Actions....... And then just turn away like it never happened. Nothing can make one more down bad than this.

@YogaWithPrajnaShetty

Now I am down bad - I love the whole vibe of the song. Especially in the chorus love the 80s sound when she says GYM and PETULANCE. Her attention to detail is brilliant,be it video lyrics or music composition. Oh I admire her so much :)

@NitikaTripathi-pw7zf

Your music has been the soundtrack to so many moments in my life, each song a chapter in my own personal story. Your lyrics have a way of speaking to the deepest parts of my heart, and your melodies have brought me joy in both my brightest and darkest days. Your authenticity, kindness, and resilience inspire me to be true to myself and to never give up on my dreams. Thank you for sharing your talent and your journey with the world. You are truly a shining light, and I am endlessly grateful for the impact you've had on my life. Keep rocking!

@ddmd6689

everyone keeps saying that this album is so long, and so sad and they cant understand. but I love this album most, I feel like I never read any poem beauty like in this album. it not Taylor'story, it all about me and my relationships.

@LillianMeinke

This song may be my favorite on the album. It just makes me feel something no song has!

@carleypitchford

All I can say is that we love you, Taylor and we'll always be here for you. I honestly am speechless listening to these songs, my heart is broken for you and the pain you went through. I'm so glad you're in a much better place and can't wait to see you thrive in this new stage of life and Era. We love you, Taylor!! 🥰🥰🥰
