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.
Brand New Jones
Some like to keep heat on
Some never hot enough
See I sleep with nothing on
'cause I'm always burnin' up
But we all want to try
To see each other's side
And I'll try
Til she takes my pillow
Mm
She'll say I'm lucky
She'll say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
See see
But everyday
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang alone
Some like a sweet romance
And some want to travel far
But I like a three point stance
And I hate to drive my car
But I'd go round the world
Just to please my girl
And I'll fly
If she takes my pillow
Oh
She'll say I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
But everyday
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, yeah, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
So why don't I just
Save time and reveal now
'cause sooner or later she'll
Know the deal
She'll wonder why
The bed jumps so high
When she sleeps at night
Oh yeah yeah
Oh
Tells me I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without it
See see
But everyday
I.. no...
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
Some like to keep heat on

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.

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”
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline

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.
a great lounge song!
Great song. I think it's about having an affair and in the end he just decides to tell the girl he is cheating on what is going on because he knows sooner or later he'll get caught.
This song is about masturbation. He says that he feels like a puppy when he gets time to play. And, he stressed that he must be alone.
