epiphany Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Keep your helmet, keep your life, son
Just a flesh wound, here's your rifle
Crawling up the beaches now
"Sir, I think he's bleeding out"
And some things you just can't speak about
[Chorus]
With you I serve, with you I fall down, down
Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out
[Verse 2]
Something med school did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Holds your hand through plastic now
"Doc, I think she's crashing out"
And some things you just can't speak about
[Bridge]
Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you've seen
[Chorus]
With you I serve, with you I fall down, down (Down)
Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out
With you I serve (With you I serve), with you I fall down (Down), down (Down)
Watch you breathe in (Watch you breathe in), watch you breathing out (Out), out (Out)
[Outro]
Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you've seen

What have critics said about the song?
The hymnal “Epiphany” feels claustrophobic — Enya-like without the flutter.
–Jon Caramanica for The NY Times
One problem with maintaining a mood throughout an hour-long album (as Swift largely does on “Folklore”) is that it can all start to feel a bit samey toward the end, as in this dreamy-dreary...
What else had the artists sais about this song?
On a conversation with Aaron Dessner for folklore: the long pond studio sessions, they said this:
Taylor:
I think I really felt like there should be a string moment on the album, because we were towards the end of it and it was all very piano and acoustic. And you’re so good with string arrangment...
