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.
Could you find my angel?
She crawled under the bed
I thought I saw her breathing
But found out she was dead
It's too late
It's over
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
Message to the queen (it's over)
The baby stops breathing (it's over)
Can't you feel these dreams?
It's over
Could you call a doctor
Who can stop by at nine?
Well, I'd planned this day for dying
But now I'm feeling fine
It's too late
It's over
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
Message to the queen (it's over)
The Baby stops breathing (it's over)
Can't you feel these dreams?
It's over
The Creature is walking
The Creature is-
I got to find a new passage way
Cause I got to get home by Saturday
Queen to Castle, Church to Nun
What a wicked web I've spun
I got to get home by Saturday
So I got to find a new passage way
I got a car with no place to go
"How 'bout a little fire scarecrow?"
Wake yourself up
You've been dreaming
About having new friends
In a ghost town
OH!
Wake yourself up
You've been dreaming
About having new friends
In a ghost town
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
Message to the Queen (it's over)
The Baby stops breathing (it's over)
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
It's over
She crawled under the bed
I thought I saw her breathing
But found out she was dead
It's too late
It's over
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
Message to the queen (it's over)
The baby stops breathing (it's over)
Can't you feel these dreams?
It's over
Could you call a doctor
Who can stop by at nine?
Well, I'd planned this day for dying
But now I'm feeling fine
It's too late
It's over
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
Message to the queen (it's over)
The Baby stops breathing (it's over)
Can't you feel these dreams?
It's over
The Creature is walking
The Creature is-
I got to find a new passage way
Cause I got to get home by Saturday
Queen to Castle, Church to Nun
What a wicked web I've spun
I got to get home by Saturday
So I got to find a new passage way
I got a car with no place to go
"How 'bout a little fire scarecrow?"
Wake yourself up
You've been dreaming
About having new friends
In a ghost town
OH!
Wake yourself up
You've been dreaming
About having new friends
In a ghost town
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
Message to the Queen (it's over)
The Baby stops breathing (it's over)
Can't you feel these dreams (it's over)
It's over

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Im in love with this band. I am pretty sure it is \" Wake your self up, you\'ve been dreaming again.\" though. I think... anyway, amazing song.
