"Death by a Thousand Cuts" is about the pain of saying goodbye after a love relationship has ended. The phrase "death by a thousand cuts" is a metaphor to signify the gradual and painful process of moving on.

Through this song, Swift conveys the sadness of having to let go of someone you once loved and the hopelessness of trying to move on.
