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.
You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (you don't even know)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (it really really don't)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
I think the time has come
For me to have some fun
I'm 'bout to peel back the top and go on and let in the sun
What the fuck I done done? My mama's only son
I went from slangin' and bangin' to yellin' number one
I love my fans to death
Until my last breath
That's why when I perform I give until there's nothing left
No competition, my opposition gon' feel the pain
More complications, relationships ain't gonna be the same
Do they want the fame?
And all that it can bring? (Huh?)
If they attracted to Nelly then who like Cornell Haynes
I'm poppin' collars from California to D.C
I'm in the VIP, Louis bottles and Hennessey
I'm putting mileage on 20-inches and 23's
I'm flippin' out my keys, I'm flippin' down the screens
I'm 'bout to spread my wings
Tryna fulfill my dreams
With anything that I want, if I don't I got the means
You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (you don't even know)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (it really, really don't)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You think you know me but you really don't know
Me, if I could
Walk through the club like everything be fo' sho'
And I'll get
One little girl, two little girls tryna get me to dance
I'll get, three little girls, four little girls
Pullin' on my pants, damn
It feels good when err'thing is okay
And it's a beautiful site when err'thing goes your way
And I could park in the mountains and I'll still get valet
Hop out in a Vokal valour and my suede Bally's (woo)
I'm feeling good, it's only right, I deserve
To spread the love through all my peeps, it's only right that I splurge
And any nigga trippin' now, I leave him right by the curb
And I don't go to sleep mama so good night ain't the word
I'm on a mission and it's sorta like a mystery
And I ain't stopping 'til I go down in history, now
Whoever sent you knows, you dealing with a pimp, fo' sho'
The N-E double L-Y follow now, now here we go
You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (you don't even know)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (it really, really don't)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You read the magazines, and heard I made a scene
Believe it or not, I swear I'm just a human being
I'm doing human things, 'cause only humans change
They label me a role model 'cause I appeal to teens
It really ain't this strange, now that I think about it
I came up in the game, changed everything about it
I'm feelin' better than ever without that lotto shit
I wake up early hit Cuda, like lets go buy some shit
You dress the hottest fits, drivin' the hottest whips
We've got the baddest chicks (you know)
We with the whitest kicks
Donating money to family's caught in Bin Laden's shit
They screaming war, I'm like fuck it, go buy a battleship and
Bring it up that Mississippi
If you really wanna come and get me
Tell them niggas that a-, don't tempt me
'Cause I'll squeeze them shits til' empty
Throw shots at niggas like Frisbee
Who the juice? How the hell you gon' pimp me?
You niggas must be kidding me
Make an innocent nigga plead guilty
You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (you don't even know)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (it really, really don't)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell

Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (you don't even know)
But I, I'm feelin' good about myself

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”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this is one of my faves from nellyville....nellyville is an awesome cd by the way
