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.
Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore
She love salting my wounds, yes she enjoys nothing more
I bleed confidence from deep within my guts now
I'm the king of this pity party
With my jewel encrusted crown.
I want to tear apart your room
To see if what you say is true
Darling don't you lie, lie to me
I want to break into your heart
To see why you want us apart
I'm scared to death to find out what you think of me
Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore
She love salting my wounds, yes she enjoys nothing more
I bleed confidence from deep within my guts now
I'm the king of this pity party
With my jewel encrusted crown.
According to you we don't click
That's a blatant lie, and you know it
Angel, what're you hiding from me
If there is truly another secret lunch break working late lover
Then I would die, but at least then I'd be free
Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore
She love salting my wounds, yes she enjoys nothing more
I bleed confidence from deep within my guts now
I'm the king of this pity party
With my jewel encrusted crown.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
i dont think anyone has ever said what "fate" really is better than these guys
this is a spill canvas song i have never heard it before??
it's a demo and will be on the new cd that's coming out August 9th.
this song is called "polygraph right now"
also in the final version its gonna be "from deep within my guts now", not "for every orifice known"
The piano in the end chorus' is a good little touch.
good song, good cd...top 5 of the year...
If there is truly another secret lunch-break, working late lover then I would die, but at least then I’d be free.
Jesus....purely amazing.
To me it's about a girl who leaves a guy for what she claims is one reason but she has another that she doesnt say and the guy knows it. He knows she is lying to him and he is trying to figure out the truth but all she does is make excuses like they don't click.
i think same as "fighter" and she ovbious causes him alot of pain when she lies to him 'salting the wounds'
