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.
I keep my eyes on the screen
Pulse oximeter flash in indistinct green
Tapping of the veins haemoglobin rains
Bloodbath now will occur
In dysfunctional belief
Pressure of the blood is set to be relieved
Tappping of the veins haemoglobin rains
Heart is being disturbed
Violent deed, sickening greed,
Transfusion of obscenity
Losing track, eyes turn black,
Departure of my sanity
Bleeding, feel the rush, taste the heat
Speeding, pain threshold for a heartbeat
Wisdom streams, endlessly
Fulfilling of a murder dream
Night routines in the mortuary
Death walks on the round unseen
I examine your death as I stab overhead
Your body cracks and I bathe in blood
Wallow in gore and thoughts of the dead
I condemn myself as I bathe in blood
Saw your hell through a blood-flushing cell
Dreams are dead as I bathe in blood
Washed out the life of every cell
Death exploration as I bathe in blood
A bloodshot sight of gore
Bursting body sprays
Life to proceed no more
A bloodbath of the human race
Invidious trauma
Transfixed bodies in a grotesque scene
Disgusting horror of dried out life
Coagulated bloodstream
Eyes stare blank
Unable to see as death reappears
Unspeakable chill in the hyper white light
Fall to my knees in fear
Pulse oximeter flash in indistinct green
Tapping of the veins haemoglobin rains
Bloodbath now will occur
In dysfunctional belief
Pressure of the blood is set to be relieved
Tappping of the veins haemoglobin rains
Heart is being disturbed
Violent deed, sickening greed,
Transfusion of obscenity
Losing track, eyes turn black,
Departure of my sanity
Bleeding, feel the rush, taste the heat
Speeding, pain threshold for a heartbeat
Wisdom streams, endlessly
Fulfilling of a murder dream
Night routines in the mortuary
Death walks on the round unseen
I examine your death as I stab overhead
Your body cracks and I bathe in blood
Wallow in gore and thoughts of the dead
I condemn myself as I bathe in blood
Saw your hell through a blood-flushing cell
Dreams are dead as I bathe in blood
Washed out the life of every cell
Death exploration as I bathe in blood
A bloodshot sight of gore
Bursting body sprays
Life to proceed no more
A bloodbath of the human race
Invidious trauma
Transfixed bodies in a grotesque scene
Disgusting horror of dried out life
Coagulated bloodstream
Eyes stare blank
Unable to see as death reappears
Unspeakable chill in the hyper white light
Fall to my knees in fear

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
