About The Fate of Ophelia

'The Fate of Ophelia' is the historic, record-breaking 13th #1 hit, opening track, and lead single of Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'. Written as a modern approach to Shakespeare’s tragic story of the heroine from Hamlet, Ophelia, whose descent into madness and drowning has been interpreted as a metaphor for heartbreak, fragility, and loss of agency — all themes that Swift has explored throughout her career.

The Fate of Ophelia Lyrics

[00:11.31] I heard you calling
[00:13.56] On the megaphone
[00:15.28] You wanna see me all alone
[00:21.06] As legend has it you
[00:22.75] Are quite the pyro
[00:24.83] You light the match to watch it blow
[00:28.74] And if you'd never come for me
[00:32.50] I might've drowned in the melancholy
[00:36.38] I swore my loyalty to me, myself and I
[00:40.94] Right before you lit my sky up
[00:46.99] All that time
[00:48.03] I sat alone in my tower
[00:49.68] You were just honing your powers
[00:51.71] Now I can see it all (see it all)
[00:56.66] Late one night
[00:57.75] You dug me out of my grave and
[00:59.56] Saved my heart from the fate of
[01:01.82] Ophelia
[01:05.25] Keep it one hundred
[01:06.73] On the land, the sea, the sky
[01:09.53] Pledge allegiance to your hands
[01:11.64] Your team, your vibes
[01:13.30] Don't care where the hell you been
[01:15.50] 'Cause now you're mine
[01:17.11] It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
[01:19.23] You've been dreaming of
[01:22.03] The fate of Ophelia
[01:26.69] The eldest daughter of a nobleman
[01:30.28] Ophelia lived in fantasy
[01:35.57] But love was a cold bed full of scorpions
[01:40.35] The venom stole her sanity
[01:44.30] And if you'd never come for me
[01:48.23] I might've lingered in purgatory
[01:52.04] You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine
[01:56.36] Pulling me into the fire
[02:02.69] All that time
[02:03.58] I sat alone in my tower
[02:05.40] You were just honing your powers
[02:07.19] Now I can see it all (see it all)
[02:12.16] Late one night
[02:13.44] You dug me out of my grave and
[02:15.49] Saved my heart from the fate of
[02:17.49] Ophelia
[02:20.83] Keep it one hundred
[02:22.40] On the land, the sea, the sky
[02:24.96] Pledge allegiance to your hands
[02:27.09] Your team, your vibes
[02:29.07] Don't care where the hell you been
[02:31.29] 'Cause now you're mine
[02:32.54] It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
[02:34.80] You've been dreaming of
[02:37.41] The fate of Ophelia
[02:39.59] 'Tis locked inside my memory
[02:41.71] And only you possess the key
[02:43.52] No longer drowning and deceived
[02:45.80] All because you came for me
[02:47.63] Locked inside my memory
[02:49.45] And only you possess the key
[02:51.30] No longer drowning and deceived
[02:53.62] All because you came for me
[02:58.72] All that time
[02:59.65] I sat alone in my tower
[03:01.52] You were just honing your powers
[03:03.46] Now I can see it all (I can see it all)
[03:08.20] Late one night
[03:09.39] You dug me out of my grave and
[03:11.25] Saved my heart from the fate of
[03:13.58] Ophelia
[03:17.19] Keep it one hundred
[03:18.75] On the land, the sea, the sky
[03:21.14] Pledge allegiance to your hands
[03:23.34] Your team, your vibes
[03:25.04] Don't care where the hell you been
[03:27.24] 'Cause now you're mine
[03:28.88] It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
[03:30.74] You've been dreaming of
[03:33.61] The fate of Ophelia
[03:37.27] You saved my heart from the fate of
[03:40.42] Ophelia
[03:42.44]
