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.
Right now, I'm about to shake and bake (kick it)
Shake and bake
Once again we're taking over
The d-flow pimp rovers
The one who bent your summer lover over
The cool that's never sober
But never hung over
With me the Rapanova
The big noser
Poking around under your girlfriend's clothes
That's where the Humpty nose goes when the doors close
I never love her slow though
I flow like I'm on No-Doz
You don't belive me but your ho knows
A fly knocker when she sees one
I'm the one humping
Pumping out the premium
Super octane fat crack big kilos
Listen how the d flows
Rarrr rarrr like a dungeon dragon nigga ah
Like my Suziro
Nah I'm just bugging y'all Buster is my hero
I clowned anyway, It's me though, yo
We got flavor and we like to flex it (ungh)
I'll be right back in a minute on some old sex sh
On the next verse, yo but first we must take
A second to reckon and shake and bake, come on
Shake and bake, etc
Don't try to get away 'cause baby this is it (it)
My freaky deaky membership is legit
I got a sex club gold card veteran certificate (what?)
You try to run I'll put my nose on your clit
'cause I'm a master of the French kiss (kiss)
Nasty hos know this (what?)
I'm a nut bust specialist (ungh)
A thriller of the lady killer whether chocolate or vanilla (bitch)
The butt filler
The nut spiller
I got a PhD in nasty
And baby when you walk past me
I'm gonna smell the flavor of that ass cheek [sniff]
Smells like a freak to me
'cause I'm a hardcore triple X rater
Ho fader
Sick new position creator
The mayor
The double up bubble butt slayer (ah ha)
Rock fat brown pipe layer
The joker
The butt poker
The ass cheek checker
The throat choking tight cooch stretcher
The bust a nut double decker booty gettin heiffer
The kinky ho closet freak sphincter muscle wrecker
You say you want to blow me
Yo baby you really don't know me
'cause like a DJ's hand on the crossfader
The Humpty nose up in your booty shake-and-bakes like a vibrator
Shake and bake, etc
Your beats are tired, your rhyming is fake
You keep on looping up them same old done breaks
Your buck teeth hang out of your mouth like a rake
It's cool with Humpty baby let's shake and bake
Shake and bake
Once again we're taking over
The d-flow pimp rovers
The one who bent your summer lover over
The cool that's never sober
But never hung over
With me the Rapanova
The big noser
Poking around under your girlfriend's clothes
That's where the Humpty nose goes when the doors close
I never love her slow though
I flow like I'm on No-Doz
You don't belive me but your ho knows
A fly knocker when she sees one

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
