This song and Boy With Stick are two of Hums best songs altogether, both non-album, sadly, so they require some hunting to find. Highly rec'd!

she don't stand, she glistens
and this is how we listen
this is how it goes
she doesn't glow, she glistens
grace the (?) sickens
you didn't have to be so
fucked up from the get go
your listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
and hopeless, helpless now
We're gusting to another space
And the tears...
ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
and she doesn't glow, she glistens
says this is how we listen
and if we go slow
we both can know
i'm sure by now we're fading out
so this is what my life's about
i didn't have to be so
fucked up from the get go
you're listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
so hopeless, helpless now
we're gusting to another space
And the tears...
ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
with you in my fading arms
she doesn't glow, she glistens
she doesn't glow, she glistens
your listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
so hopeless, helpless now
we're gusting to another space
As the tears
your listless falling feels like nothing else we think about
i'm blinking out, i'm blinking out, i'm blinking out
ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
you're blinking out in my failing arms
and this is how we listen
this is how it goes
she doesn't glow, she glistens
grace the (?) sickens
you didn't have to be so
fucked up from the get go
your listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
and hopeless, helpless now
We're gusting to another space

ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
and she doesn't glow, she glistens
says this is how we listen

we're gusting to another space

ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
with you in my fading arms
she doesn't glow, she glistens

you're blinking out in my failing arms

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
