CRUEL SUMMER (LIVE FROM THE ERAS TOUR) by Taylor Swift from the EP "THE CRUELEST SUMMER" Được phát hành bất ngờ vào ngày 18 tháng 10 năm 2023, "THE CRUELEST SUMMER" là EP mới nhất của nữ nghệ sĩ người Mỹ Taylor Swift trước thềm album tái thu âm "1989 (Taylor's Version)" được ra mắt vào ngày 27 sắp tới. EP ngoài bản gốc của bản hit bị bỏ rơi "Cruel Summer" thì còn có một bản remix của LP Gobbi và một bản live được trích từ tour diễn của nữ ca sĩ "The Eras Tour". "Cruel Summer (Live from The Eras Tour)" vẫn mang giai điệu bubblegum pop và electronic pop vô cùng sôi nổi, trữ tình và cuốn hút; cùng với không khí hào hứng và sôi nổi đến từ những khán giả trong tour diễn. Ca khúc kể lại sự mong manh và bất ổn khi bắt đầu mối quan hệ của Taylor với nam diễn viên người Mỹ Joe Alwyn . Cô mô tả mùa hè năm 2016 là "ngày tận thế", tóm tắt lại nỗi đau mà cô phải trải qua. LỜI BÀI HÁT 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 cruеl summer with you Hang your head low in the glow of thе 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 ) 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?" 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, 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, with you, with you) It's a cruel summer
