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.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Strange, how you stopped loving me (loving me)
How you stopped needing me (needing me)
When she came along (oh,oh,oh,oh)
Strange, you changed like night and day (night and day)
Just up and walked away (walked away)
When she came along (oh,oh,oh,oh)
Hey,uh,uh,oh baby baby
I was upset and you know you shady
Blame it on me like I'm fugazy
I put in work and you got lazy
Now you sayin' it's shame on me
You left with a chick with a set of double d's
Why should we separate like Siamese
Didn't anybody tell you sex better in threes
I can be the reason that you both knock kneed
If I tell my homie zulee he wouldn't knock me
Try to tell me lies, but you're so sloppy
When you leave with your friends, they all jock me
I understand if she know how to please you
I understand if she lovin' and tease you
In my right mind I should probably leave you
Why can't all three of us be peoples
Strange, how you stopped loving me (loving me)
How you stopped needing me (needing me)
When she came along (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Strange, you changed like night and day (night and day)
Just up and walked away (walked away)
When she came along (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yo, please listen
Uh, uh, don't dip out baby
I can live life fine with two ladies
Two heads are better than the one god gave me
And I'm messed up, been stressin' lately
Please tell me, know you gotta feel how I feel
Imagine us lounging together and I feel you, while you feel her, and she feel me
Love triangle, love in all angles
If you spend more time, I won't trip or spazz out
'long as when we home we freak out
And let your friends know exactly what we 'bout
More heavy fam, we living our dreams out
Sexy, I know you probably think you can be stress-free
Without K.I.D. but you gon' see if you ever left, never get it better
You'll miss me
Ohh baby, ohh baby, just talk to me, just tell me let's work it out

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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 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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this song, especially how it comes on. This chorus is nice, too.
The song is talking about his girlfriend leaving him for another female, and instead of him getting all bent about it he suggests that all three of them get together, lmfao.
Haha funny song!
