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 coulda been the one you noticed
I coulda been the one for you
I coulda been like all the others
Is that what I'm supposed to do?
I don't wanna be disappointed
And I don't want to have to prove
How I really feel about you
But you wouldn't even have a clue
I try to be sensitive
I try to be tough
I try to walk away
I try to be innocent
I try to be rough
But I just wanna play
You're my daydream
You know that I've been
Thinking about you lately
And every time I look at you
I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
If I tell you what I'm thinking
If I let myself trust you
Can you give me what I'm missing?
Can you make my dreams come true?
I try to be sensitive
I try to be tough
I try to walk away
I try to be innocent
I try to be rough
But I just wanna play
You're my daydream
You know that I've been
Thinking about you lately
And every time I look at you
I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
I've always wanted someone
I've been waiting so long
Could you be that someone
Are you my, are you my
You're my, you're my...
You're my daydream
You know that I've been
Thinking about you lately
And every time I look at you
I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
And you know, and you know
And you know, and you know
You're making me insane
And you know, and you know
And you know, and you know
You're doing it again (x2)
I coulda been the one for you
I coulda been like all the others
Is that what I'm supposed to do?
I don't wanna be disappointed
And I don't want to have to prove
How I really feel about you
But you wouldn't even have a clue
I try to be sensitive
I try to be tough
I try to walk away
I try to be innocent
I try to be rough
But I just wanna play
You're my daydream
You know that I've been
Thinking about you lately
And every time I look at you
I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
If I tell you what I'm thinking
If I let myself trust you
Can you give me what I'm missing?
Can you make my dreams come true?
I try to be sensitive
I try to be tough
I try to walk away
I try to be innocent
I try to be rough
But I just wanna play
You're my daydream
You know that I've been
Thinking about you lately
And every time I look at you
I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
I've always wanted someone
I've been waiting so long
Could you be that someone
Are you my, are you my
You're my, you're my...
You're my daydream
You know that I've been
Thinking about you lately
And every time I look at you
I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
And you know, and you know
And you know, and you know
You're making me insane
And you know, and you know
And you know, and you know
You're doing it again (x2)

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.
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/

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.
this is about how a girl likes a guy but she doesn't know what to do to get him to be hers. she doesn't know if she should be herself or try to be something she's not to get him to notice her. and until something happens he's always gonna be her daydream.
