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.
My life's minds plagued by lyssophobia
In a cage solitude locks me in
As the dark blackened walls close in on me
Dementia strikes, there's no turning back
Drowning in the Stygian sea
As those voices repeat to me my malediction
Memento Mori
Remember you must die
A gratuitous wrath of violence blots out the light of my mind
For on this night someone must pay for the cost of my life
For me to escape the curse of perdition, this poor, weaker being must receive
Pain
As you wince at the action of my sadist ways and cry at the throes of your
Moribund state
A Daemon issues your last rites
Paster Noster Upto In Terra
I break, I twist, I burn, I destroy
Memento Mori
As the candle of light that burned in your heart is doused by the grip of
Death's hand
Asmodeus, the spirit of lust bears his necrophile ways for the wishes of the
Demon in black
My largesse in life should be immortality dislike the weak, mortal humans
But in life there's always death
A multitude are born to be damned
His perdisized body will burn forever
In the scorching flames of Gehenna
In a cage solitude locks me in
As the dark blackened walls close in on me
Dementia strikes, there's no turning back
Drowning in the Stygian sea
As those voices repeat to me my malediction
Memento Mori
Remember you must die
A gratuitous wrath of violence blots out the light of my mind
For on this night someone must pay for the cost of my life
For me to escape the curse of perdition, this poor, weaker being must receive
Pain
As you wince at the action of my sadist ways and cry at the throes of your
Moribund state
A Daemon issues your last rites
Paster Noster Upto In Terra
I break, I twist, I burn, I destroy
Memento Mori
As the candle of light that burned in your heart is doused by the grip of
Death's hand
Asmodeus, the spirit of lust bears his necrophile ways for the wishes of the
Demon in black
My largesse in life should be immortality dislike the weak, mortal humans
But in life there's always death
A multitude are born to be damned
His perdisized body will burn forever
In the scorching flames of Gehenna
