In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
sasoom, sassom, sa-sasoom
something may appear, listen hard, it's right in here
something may have wings, these are ordinary things
something may come clear, when you realize something here
something may appear, when you look right in here...
it's right in here...
when you raelize something is right in here
you will know that it's nothing you should fear
when you look into this thing we have found
you will notice that it leaps underground
he's so proud he reads aloud, to make his
words, to travel in herds, to right no wrong,
he's on his knees for you to please, his looks are
pure, he bleeds the cure, those holy hands
have other plans, he understands the meaning,
be best ta'get up on me
if you wanna pay the price
bless my soul and praise the lord
'cause the savior is so nice-
fool you'll be the devils slave
when satan comes to tempt ya'
you better pray to jesus
or the demons will exempt ya'
sasoom, sasoom
something may appear, listen hard, it's right in here

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.
