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.
My walls are falling,
Caving in
Lost my best friend
Literally and figuritively
Take a long walk with me
On a cold and rainy afternoon
I remember a time together in June
The wise moon laughs at me
The holy ghost taps at me
Tells me to believe, but I can't
Lick another stamp,
Send another letter
I'll make it all better,
We will be together
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
That cold walk won't happen,
Not in December, November of January
Those times I'll be weak and wery,
Your be away, I'll miss you all day
I have to find a way to be with you always
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
The crunch of the snow
Crunch of the leaves,
Leaves not leave, not to leave me
May my kakais be next to you
As we walk together, you with me
Me with you, I would forgive you
Because I'm so awful
Still, I'd die if you leave.
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
Invitation, to our last dance
Won't be recieved
Because it'll never be our time to leave
Always together, forever and ever
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
Hold on baby,
I know times are hazy,
But I promise I'll always be for you
You don't make me cry
it's that I do it to myself
Never leave me by myself,
Never alone, when your on the phone
Always happy talking to you,
Soon to be happy being held
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
Roses in the sunshine,
Know your always be mine
I'll always be yours too
Not in the snow or leaves,
But the morning dew
Is where I'll make steps
with you.
The bed still warm,
Where we slept the night before
The bed we climbed out of,
Before our walk into the night
Some kind of insight,
Not at all, just our neverending love
Something that'll never fall
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
Everybody's gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
You've gotta hold on hope,
it's the Last thing that's holding me
I've got to hold on to hope,
Until you can hold me,
Everybody's gotta hold on to hope,
It's the last thing that's holding me.

It's the last thing that's holding me.

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.
