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.
The war on drugs is a war on me and if its not then let me be home of the brave
Land of the free Its just a plant so let freedom ring
I'm sick of these snitches droppin dimes on my block to my small sack slangers
To my indoor crops or our cash money business or my late night stops or
Anything about this old school pimp called pops
Yeah! Shit fuck Piss
I can't stand the cops they're always on my dick trying to snatch my crops but
They'll never gonna get 'em cause givem to my pops then I fail out of town in
My matha fucking dodge
You can't catch me so please stop trying there's no denyin that the cops are
Lie'en
Not me because I not you can't relate when I look you in the face I can tell
That you're a fake. Ha! Ha! Ha
Zero Tolerance I got zero tolerance
Just because you're a you fat wanna be stinky ass matha fucka
Tryin to get my shit but you can't you suck get the hell out my face?
Cause your breath stinks bad your badge is dirty you cricked as fag
I'm here to free all the people that are livin in fear
The modern day Paul Revere, Just lend me your ear
Cause they're comin, in fact they're already right here
You know how much they spent in the war on drugs simply last year?
Eleven-Billion Dollars straight down the drain
The war on drugs has cost a lot, you shouldn't worry about me, or my bag of pot
Not hurtin' nobody, not polluting the youth
Not sellin no lies, I'm only giving out truth
Try to tell me what to do, I won't listen to you
I'll smoke weed till I die, out of joints, pipes, tubes
Well I'm rymin and I'm stealin - dealin time after time - rhyme patterns
Designed to enlighten your mind - legalize the word freedom till the plants not
A crime and when the plants not a crime we'll all be livin divine zero tolerance
Is ignorance we're drawin the line
Zero Tolerance the war on drugs is a waste of time how could a plant be a
Crime- you got the bombs to kill off our kind- Arrest and seize we get jailed
Fucked-w/-Find - free the plant
Zero Tolerance I got zero tolerance
Land of the free Its just a plant so let freedom ring
I'm sick of these snitches droppin dimes on my block to my small sack slangers
To my indoor crops or our cash money business or my late night stops or
Anything about this old school pimp called pops
Yeah! Shit fuck Piss
I can't stand the cops they're always on my dick trying to snatch my crops but
They'll never gonna get 'em cause givem to my pops then I fail out of town in

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
hallelujah..SPEAK SON SPEAK
