The song “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift is about the complexities of love and the desire to be with someone regardless of the risks and hurt that might come with it. The song begins with Swift describing a longing for someone in the night, and how she is willing to pay the price to get to be with them. She goes on to describe a ‘cruel summer’ filled with pain and longing as she tries to make sense of her feelings for this person. In the end, despite all the hurt and secrets, she professes her love for them. The song is a plea for understanding and acceptance in the face of turbulent emotions.
Cruel Summer
Lyrics
Oh, hi
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know, oh
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
Alright Los Angeles, we have arrived
At the very first bridge of the evening
Now, I have a question
Does anyone here know the lyrics to this bridge?
Prove it
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (oh)
"I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
He looks up, grinnin' like a devil
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
Cruel summer with you (with you, with you, with you)
With you (with you, with you, with you)
With you (with you, with you, with you)
It's a cruel summer with you (with you, with you, with you)
With you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
With you (with you, with you, with you)
It's a cruel summer
