The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Live from space
Perfect direction
Indicating science fiction
Dinosaurs bigger than buildings
Billions of cells mature
Rape a monkey from big planet Blue
Someday I hope to see you
Where are you from
From the world of Sulex
I can't believe you're not a realist
In a world that's trying
And I'm finally finding that
You should zip off your skin and try to
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
As we stepped out onto moon
Somebody tell me how to breathe
So different from my home
I've been waiting so long
For you to come undone
Mechanically so inclined
Fit the pieces using gasoline
Now it's time light to light the fuse
On the cover weekly news
Years have passed future's confusing
Field of circles unexplained
Eyes are shrunken in the back of her head
Pin prick a nuclear bed
In a world that's trying
And I'm fanally finding that
you zip off your skin and try to
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
As we stepped out onto our moon
Somebody tell me how to breathe
So different from my home
I've been waiting so long
As we stepped out onto our moon
Somebody tell me how to breathe
So different from my home
I've been waiting for so long
For you to come undone
Perfect direction
Indicating science fiction
Dinosaurs bigger than buildings
Billions of cells mature
Rape a monkey from big planet Blue
Someday I hope to see you
Where are you from
From the world of Sulex
I can't believe you're not a realist
In a world that's trying
And I'm finally finding that
You should zip off your skin and try to
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
As we stepped out onto moon
Somebody tell me how to breathe
So different from my home
I've been waiting so long
For you to come undone
Mechanically so inclined
Fit the pieces using gasoline
Now it's time light to light the fuse
On the cover weekly news
Years have passed future's confusing
Field of circles unexplained
Eyes are shrunken in the back of her head
Pin prick a nuclear bed
In a world that's trying
And I'm fanally finding that
you zip off your skin and try to
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
Peel away hairless skin from the alien
As we stepped out onto our moon
Somebody tell me how to breathe
So different from my home
I've been waiting so long
As we stepped out onto our moon
Somebody tell me how to breathe
So different from my home
I've been waiting for so long
For you to come undone

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
