Lyrics for Song: The Fate Of Ophelia
Lyrics for Album: The Life of a Showgirl
I heard you calling 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 (See it all)
Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, thе sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming 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 (Come for me)
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain (Chain), a crown (A crown), a vine (A vine)
Pulling 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 (See it all)
Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (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 been, 'cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming 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 (I can see it all)
Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (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 been, 'cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
You saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia |
The Fate of Ophelia
"The Fate of Ophelia" is a song that takes its name from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The track, by Taylor Swift, was the lead single from her album The Life of a Showgirl, and it was a global hit, topping the charts in 38 countries. In the US, the single spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Swift, her producer Max Martin, and his frequent collaborator Shellback. The name Ophelia comes from Hamlet, where Ophelia is the love interest of Prince Hamlet. In the play, she descends into madness after being rejected and controlled by the men around her. The lyrics open with a striking image: "I heard you calling on the megaphone / You wanna see me all alone." It is a song about the drama of love, about the intensity of a connection that feels like a performance. What stays with me is how the song uses a Shakespearean tragedy to talk about modern heartbreak. It is a song about the fate that awaits when love goes wrong, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both powerful and vulnerable.
