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.
Entre o corpo esquálido
e o cálice vazio,
entre os lábios rachados,
entre as cinzas do que
restou de ti frente a teus medos,
do que contarás para teus filhos.
Entre o espaço dos dias
que nunca se vão e o olhar
deprimido frente a televisão,
trair tudo o que sentes se repete,
quão mais tentes dizer
saber que não há
tantos motivos pra parar e
tantos motivos pra dizer que não
faz diferença estar bem.
“Por que me acordou?
Por que me quer bem?
Fecha a porta do meu quarto,
não me importa ser exato
no que desejei...”
Narciso se olhou dentro dos olhos,
como se estivesse fora de seu corpo.
Nunca se sentiu tão doente.
“Estamos fora do ar
temporariamente pois nossos
transmissores estão em manutenção”
Serei eu este anjo caído ao chão?
Já não se parece mais comigo...
Já não se parece mais Domingo.
Mãe, diz que não foi nada...
eu fui tão cego voando rumo a luz.
Mãe, perdi minhas asas no fogo
e agora meus braços sangram.
e o cálice vazio,
entre os lábios rachados,
entre as cinzas do que
restou de ti frente a teus medos,
do que contarás para teus filhos.
Entre o espaço dos dias
que nunca se vão e o olhar
deprimido frente a televisão,
trair tudo o que sentes se repete,
quão mais tentes dizer
saber que não há
tantos motivos pra parar e
tantos motivos pra dizer que não
faz diferença estar bem.
“Por que me acordou?
Por que me quer bem?
Fecha a porta do meu quarto,
não me importa ser exato
no que desejei...”
Narciso se olhou dentro dos olhos,
como se estivesse fora de seu corpo.
Nunca se sentiu tão doente.
“Estamos fora do ar
temporariamente pois nossos
transmissores estão em manutenção”
Serei eu este anjo caído ao chão?
Já não se parece mais comigo...
Já não se parece mais Domingo.
Mãe, diz que não foi nada...
eu fui tão cego voando rumo a luz.
Mãe, perdi minhas asas no fogo
e agora meus braços sangram.

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.
