@[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.
We are frail
So frail and weak
Our bodies fail
We're all just meat
So easily scarred
So easily beat
It doesn't take much
For us to spring a leak
It doesn't take much
To perish in your sleep
We are soft
Soft and smooth
Just beef and sauce
Perfect for stew
So easily squashed
So easily bruised
It doesn't take much
To strip us to the bone
It doesn't take much
Work to make us croak
[Chorus]
We're all marching in the same parade
Biding our time in this fleeting masquerade
We're all headed steadfast to the grave
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
Will you burn out or will you fade away
Will you die young or wither in old age
We're all dying to make it out unscathed
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
We are doomed
From the start
Shrivel like prunes
Damaged and scarred
So easily strewn
So easily marred
It doesn't take much
To tear us apart
It doesn't take much
Force to stop our hearts
We are flawed
Prone to leak
Crumbling facades
Fraught with diesease
So easily clawed
So easily freed
It doesn't take much
Stress to make us crack
It doesn't take much
Strength to break our backs
[Chorus]
We're all marching in the same parade
Biding our time in this fleeting masquerade
We're all headed steadfast to the grave
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
Will you burn out or will you fade away
Will you die young or wither in old age
We're all dying to make it out unscathed
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
A knife in the back from a friend
Or a bump on the head
A ruptured appendix
Or maybe a virus instead
A clot in your veins
Or a poisonous snake in the grass
A chest full of buckshot
Or maybe a slip in the bath
[Chorus]
We're all marching in the same parade
Biding our time in this fleeting masquerade
We're all headed steadfast to the grave
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
Will you burn out or will you fade away
Will you die young or wither in old age
We're all dying to make it out unscathed
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
So frail and weak
Our bodies fail
We're all just meat
So easily scarred
So easily beat
It doesn't take much
For us to spring a leak
It doesn't take much
To perish in your sleep
We are soft
Soft and smooth
Just beef and sauce
Perfect for stew
So easily squashed
So easily bruised
It doesn't take much
To strip us to the bone
It doesn't take much
Work to make us croak
[Chorus]
We're all marching in the same parade
Biding our time in this fleeting masquerade
We're all headed steadfast to the grave
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
Will you burn out or will you fade away
Will you die young or wither in old age
We're all dying to make it out unscathed
Why all the fuss
We'll all be dust
And soon you'll spill your guts
We are doomed

And soon you'll spill your guts

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.
