Dilansir dari Genius, Jumat (19/4/2024), beberapa berspekulasi bahwa arti lagu ini bercerita tentang Taylor Swift yang jatuh cinta dengan Travis Kelce, pacar terbarunya. Sementara, sebagian lagi berpikir bahwa pelantun “Lover” itu tengah berjuang melawan depresinya setelah berpisah dari Joe Alwyn.

Namun asumsi bahwa lagu Joe Alwyn lebih kuat, mengingat dalam pidatonya untuk Grammy, Taylor menyebut bahwa album ini telah disiapkannya selama dua tahun terakhir. Saat itu merupakan tahap patah hati dalam hidup Taylor dan dia belum dekat dengan Travis.
Berikut lirik lagu Down Bad milik Taylor Swift.
Lirik “Down Bad” - Taylor Swift
[Verse 1]
Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Showed me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
[Pre-Chorus]
For a moment I knew cosmic love
[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad
Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad
Fuck it if I can't have him
[Verse 2]
Did you take all my old clothes?
Just to leave me here naked and alone
In a field in my same old town
That somehow seems so hollow now
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about
The existence of you
[Pre-Chorus]
For a moment, I was heavenstruck
[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad (Like I lost my twin)
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad (Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
[Bridge]
I loved your hostile take-overs
Encounters closer and closer
All your indecent exposures
How dare you say that it's–
I'll build you a fort on some planet
Where they can all understand it
How dare you think it's romantic
Leaving me safe and stranded?
Cause fuck it, I was in love
So fuck you if I can't have us
Cause fuck it, I was in love
[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad (Like I lost my twin)
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad (Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
[Outro]
Like I lost my twin
Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad (Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
