The Fate of Ophelia Lyrics

I heard you callin' on the megaphone
You wanna see me all alone
As legend has it, you are quite the pyro
You light the match to watch it blow

And if you'd never come for me
I might've drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I
Right before you lit my sky up

All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you've been, 'cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreamin' of
The fate of Ophelia

The eldest daughter of a nobleman
Ophelia lived in fantasy
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions
The venom stole her sanity

And if you'd never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine
Pullin' me into the fire

All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you've been, 'cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreamin' of
The fate of Ophelia

'Tis locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
Locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me

All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you've been, 'cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreamin' of
The fate of Ophelia

You saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia

Cover art for The Fate of Ophelia lyrics by Taylor Swift

heard this song today on our local pop radio station, immediately was impressed by the lyrics. What the hell's the song's name? D.J.s these days hardly mention this sort of stuff, so I'm thinking 'geez, I bet it's ferking Taylor Swift. -- Wouldn't surprise me; she's the new Beyonce. Anyway, finally I heard here say "Ophelia" at the end. Entered Ophelia into a search and voila. This song has something to do with Hamlet, yeah, by Shakespeare.... Don't know what, if anything is Taylor's twist on this classic tale, just am pretty impressed that it's not just another brainadead luv song.
