if it splinters should I know...it's to be broken
it's not what I pictured things to be,
it's not what I meant to explode,
I don't want to carry this on my shoulders
keep this away
nothing's solid, nothing's saved
it's all in splinters.
if it splinters should I know...it's to be broken
Always numbers when it should be broken, nothing's sacred.
I don't want to see you go through the vital things that they say,
cause it's tearing you apart.
And there's no excuses,
for the traps that they lay.
Nothing's sacred these days.
Didn't want to let them cut through to me.
So welcome me down into this.
Down here at the bottom it's dry and thin.
So welcome me down into this
it's not what I pictured things to be,
it's not what I meant to explode,
I don't want to carry this on my shoulders
keep this away
nothing's solid, nothing's saved
it's all in splinters.
if it splinters should I know...it's to be broken
Always numbers when it should be broken, nothing's sacred.
I don't want to see you go through the vital things that they say,
cause it's tearing you apart.
And there's no excuses,
for the traps that they lay.
Nothing's sacred these days.
Didn't want to let them cut through to me.
So welcome me down into this.
Down here at the bottom it's dry and thin.
So welcome me down into this

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
Blank Space
Taylor Swift

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.
