@[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.
And I hope you choke on your own words
You're such a fake, crying out for attention
My hands around your throat now
I won’t stop until your eyes are in the back of your head
Light’s out! Lay you to rest
Put you someplace to walk amongst the living dead
Somewhere cold a place you can call your home
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
Get your middle fingers up oh!
Kill kill kill
All the people who tried to hold you back
Teach you not to feel
It’s my life
Talk shit get hit
Talk talk your way out of this one and bow down
(You stand alone)
And I’m not done with you just quite yet
You're all a joke
Talk shit get hit
I’ll do whatever it takes to get the hell out of here
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Oh yeah I’ve gone mad
Oh yeah I’ve gone really mad
Slow down take a moment
Slow down choose your words wisely
Cause they might be your last
Dead men’s bones!
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
If you want me come and find me
If you want us come and find us
You're such a fake, crying out for attention
My hands around your throat now
I won’t stop until your eyes are in the back of your head
Light’s out! Lay you to rest
Put you someplace to walk amongst the living dead
Somewhere cold a place you can call your home
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
Get your middle fingers up oh!
Kill kill kill
All the people who tried to hold you back
Teach you not to feel
It’s my life
Talk shit get hit
Talk talk your way out of this one and bow down
(You stand alone)
And I’m not done with you just quite yet
You're all a joke
Talk shit get hit
I’ll do whatever it takes to get the hell out of here
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Oh yeah I’ve gone mad
Oh yeah I’ve gone really mad
Slow down take a moment
Slow down choose your words wisely
Cause they might be your last
Dead men’s bones!
How did we get this far and where do we go from here?
It’s a matter of time
If you want me come and find me
If you want us come and find us

Shudder to Think
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.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
