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.
Attack!
That's what the headlines say
We're back!
Today is Zombie Day
Get back!
It's the police brigade
And I'm sorry Mr. Policeman,
But to live
I've gotta eat your brains
Invade!
That's what I'm made to do
Eat brains!
That's what I need for food
Get laid!
Oh, yeah, I'd like to dude,
But my girl's a rotting corpse
And that just won't do
No, it just won't do
It is not my fault
So don't freak out at me
You just look so delicious
When you start to bleed
And you know I can't control
What's happening to me
Cause it's the Night of the Living Dead
And you can bet I'm gonna feed
You're head!
Cracks open like an egg
You're dead!
And now for your right leg
It's sad!
But that's the way it's got to be
Because eatin' flesh
Is my destiny
Wow!
It is not my fault
So don't freak out at me
You just look so delicious
When you start to bleed
And you know I can't control
What's happening to me
Cause it's the Night of the Living Dead
And you can bet I'm gonna all the brains in your head
It's the Night of the Living Dead
And you can bet your fuckin' ass
That I am gonna feed
Brains!
More Brains!

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This is arguably the coolest BML song thus far. It's more about Return of the Living Dead than Night of the Living Dead, but Romero's awesome, and I love stealing material from the Misfits, hence the 'destiny' line, it's from Ghouls Night Out. The Brains More Brains part is outta Return.
