Taylor Swift - The Great War (Lyrics) | EASY LYRICS

The Great War Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My knuckles were bruised like violets
Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
And maybe it was egos swinging
Maybe it was her
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

[Chorus]
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh, tears on the lеtter
I vowed not to cry anymore
If wе survived the Great War
[Verse 2]
You drew up some good faith treaties
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
And maybe it's the past that's talking
Screaming from the crypt
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
So I justified it

[Chorus]
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh, the burning embers
I vowed not to fight anymore
If we survived the Great War

[Post-Chorus]
Uh-huh, uh-huh

[Bridge]
It turned into something bigger
Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
Your finger on my hairpin triggers
Soldier down on that icy ground
Looked up at me with honor and truth
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
That was the night I nearly lost you
I really thought I'd lost you
You might also like
High Infidelity

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

Paris
Taylor Swift
[Verse 3]
We can plant a memory garden
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
And we will never go back

[Chorus]
To that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, the worst was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh, we're burned for better
I vowed I would always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War

[Outro]
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I will always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
Uh-huh
I vow I will always be yours

I came to listen to “Great War” by Sabaton. Then I found out that Taylor Swift has a song with the same name, so it kinda peaked my curiosity. Let’s say that it did not disappoint. I actually loved this song. I didn’t know Taylor Swift has such deep and meaningful lyrics in her songs. As a metalhead I have become a fan!

"Always remember, we're burned for better."

God this woman

[NiginiqueAnderson]

- " somewhere in haze i feel got a sense i've been betrayed ". :( 🙁

[whthsgrss]

"Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed"

That sounds like me and my "bff" 😊

[silverpennies]

this song just shows my feelings to a bestfriend my mom has had 15 years and her daughter was also my bestfriend. we lost both of them starting a business together and they removed us completely from the business without my mom or i knowing and basically ended our friendship. that business rlly was more important to them than us. we thought theyd be our friends and just like a family to us forever. its been hard on me for so long. i hope nobody else goes through this. "somewhere in the haze got a sense ive been betrayed.."

[gabrielamelendez]

For me this song is about going through hard times in your relationshop and overcoming them in the healthiest way possible, "my hand was the one you reached for" = "us against the problem not against each other"

[JoaoLima-ksyj]

For me this song is so underrated, best song on the album.

[shannxn]

For me this song is about surviving an abusive relationship, but lines such as 'i really thought id lost you' being about how you lose yourself in the process of the abuse, but when you've survived, you find yourself all over again. 'i drew curtains closed drank my poison all alone' describes how you bottle it all up, keep it all to yourself, cos you don't want anyone else to be burdened by it.. 'there's no morning glory it was war it wasn't fair' that is how even when you've healed you never get that glory sense because of what you went through there's no calm after the storm because the storm happened in the first place.

[HumayunKabir-rhwm]

Sadly she grew tired of fighting the great war 😭 it resonates with the lyrics in You're Losing Me "Fighting only your army, front lines Don't you ignore me, I'm the best thing at this party" 😭😭😭😭

[Elsa_xx]

This just might be me but if you have watched the hunger games this matches Katniss and Peeta in the first and second movie on the chariot when they held hands

[cassreader]

Here because Taylor's lyric videos always hurt my eyes

[onsero]

" maybe it was egos swinging...maybe it was HER"

[shinzoabe]

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Palestine 🇵🇸 😢

[Teodora.]

Anyone here just sobbing while listening to this masterpiece and relating every single word to the marauders/Wolfstar? No, just me.

[aashnakhanna]

Expresses the entire Russia-Ukraine war scenario. As a tribute to all those brave soldiers who passed away. And the love stories that might have died along with the embers of the fire...burnt down, with the ashes being the only remnants and symbol. Everyone's guessing it's about breakup. This song can have so many different POVs.
