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.
Ooh here I come not what you expected
Y'all erected while I wreck shit next bit hard while I wreck it
Elected prom queen on the strength of my last record
Hectic get nekkid and do it backstage after you all exit
About three minutes start countin back seconds
I got sexists beggin me to make me breakfasts
Winnipeg to Texas, Easter egg to Xmas
Ass in excess make them other senseless girls look anorexics
Ain't nobody can do what I do,
can't have what I have, untouchable don't be mad
If naughty girls need love too then I guess I'm bad
Flow like Maxi Pad, magic Alad it's just some crazy spark I always had
Y'all are gonna feel like Chris Columbus when you discover me
Under the covers undercover in reverie readily I'd
say I was bigger than Jesus
Save the formal apology for my Anthology and Regis
[7EVEN:] Stand off/hands off
The Princess resussin y'all fresh air in the game
Hands off she's untouchable,
untouchable what, untouchable what, untouchable what, untouchable
right
I'm the finest of the best and if that don't make sense
Who cares look at how I dress and if that don't make
sense I'm gonna talk about you in past
tense
And if that don't make sense fuck you I'm a go smoke sens
Don't start a fight with me I don't care I'll bite your teeth
Get in ya shit like a colostomy impossible to compete with me
A Prophecy- I'm gonna own everything like I was an apostrophe
Number 1 on Billboard a record of just me coughing see
To heck with ya I'm kickin non-sequiturs
To all my competitors so out your range don't give a what if I'm strange
Come up to my room D'Angelo I want to bite your abdomen-what!
Have fun crush you lyrically like Nell Carter mixed with Big Pun and Run
Never outdone shinin charisma only one star can outshine
and that's the sun
I got a vision itchin to be an imposition invadin domes
and homes like a religion inquisition
A juxtaposition let's fuck you pick the position holdin
the front of the fridge bangin your
bitch in the kitchen
Diamond in the rough? I'm rough on the diamond-Gotta
be nice if you want in the hymen
If you an MC you better be nice when you rhymin
And if you get me a seltzer it better have a lime and um
Memorize the name the Superstar,
open your big mouths only if you about to go Rarrrr
On the ones, twos, threes and fives no 1200's I got
12,000's and I mean guys!
Easy on eyes I can't lie get high from rhymes to you know what I'm tight
What a lady, what a night,
oooh, and if you think this song is through, there's Untouchable
Part 2
Untouchable in the 4X4 untouchable you know I got more
Untouchable and that's how we raw and that's how we raw and that's raw
Y'all erected while I wreck shit next bit hard while I wreck it
Elected prom queen on the strength of my last record
Hectic get nekkid and do it backstage after you all exit
About three minutes start countin back seconds

Winnipeg to Texas, Easter egg to Xmas
Ass in excess make them other senseless girls look anorexics

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
