Makna Duka di Balik Lirik Lagu 'The Fate of Ophelia' Taylor Swift, Terinspirasi dari Tragedi Hamlet

MerahPutih.com - Lagu The Fate of Ophelia Taylor Swift yang belakangan viral digunakan di media sosial, menghadirkan narasi duka yang sarat emosi, terinspirasi dari sosok Ophelia dalam drama klasik Hamlet karya William Shakespeare.

Melalui lirik yang lirih, puitis, dan bernuansa muram, lagu ini menuturkan konflik batin, cinta yang terpendam, serta runtuhnya jiwa secara perlahan akibat tekanan perasaan yang tak tertahankan.

Setiap bait lagu mengajak pendengar menyelami kesunyian dan kepedihan yang mendalam. Ophelia digambarkan bukan semata sebagai tokoh sastra, melainkan sebagai simbol rapuhnya batin manusia ketika harapan mulai memudar dan cinta tak menemukan ruang untuk berlabuh.

Nuansa melankolis yang konsisten menjadikan lagu The Fate of Ophelia sebagai refleksi emosional tentang kehilangan, kegelisahan, dan ketidakberdayaan menghadapi realitas.

Lagu ini menyentuh sisi paling sunyi dari perasaan manusia, sekaligus menunjukkan bagaimana karya sastra klasik masih relevan dan mampu diinterpretasikan ulang dalam bentuk musik modern.

Lirik The Fate of Ophelia - Taylor Swift

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

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

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

I might've lingered in purgatory

You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, 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

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

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
