Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
You're so sophisticated
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
Just as the curtain closes
I strike authentic poses
Now that we know all the words to history's sad songs
So don't be apocalyptic
There's still time to get your last licks
But very soon the glory will make shameful what is true
And don't be apologetic
So what if it is genetic?
The cowards still breathe easy as their secret's safe with you
Are you still feeling bad
That your mother left your dad?
Are you so sure that everybody lies?
Guess what your pains been done
Took perfection by everyone
And the first thing every killer reads is
Catcher in the Rye
You're so sophisticated
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
So maybe you should just release the doves
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
Maybe you should just release the doves
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
No one will survive the end of love
No one will survive
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
Just as the curtain closes
I strike authentic poses
Now that we know all the words to history's sad songs
So don't be apocalyptic
There's still time to get your last licks
But very soon the glory will make shameful what is true
And don't be apologetic
So what if it is genetic?
The cowards still breathe easy as their secret's safe with you
Are you still feeling bad
That your mother left your dad?
Are you so sure that everybody lies?
Guess what your pains been done
Took perfection by everyone
And the first thing every killer reads is
Catcher in the Rye
You're so sophisticated
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
So maybe you should just release the doves
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
Maybe you should just release the doves
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
No one will survive the end of love
No one will survive

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Fortnight
Taylor Swift

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
pretty sure also that this song is about taking the piss out of pretentious people that think they've seen and done it all...
