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.
There he goes
My baby walks so slow
Sexual tic-tac-toe
Yeah, I know we both know
It isn't time
But could you be m-mine
We'll never get too far
Just you, me and the bar
Silly "menage a trois" sometimes
Would you be mine [Repeat x3]
Oh baby, lights on
But your mom's not home
I'm sick of laying down alone hey
With this fever, fever, yeah
My one and own
I wanna get you alone
Give you a fever, fever yeah
There it goes
You stole my soul and so
Cause, sweetheart
A-no-no-nobody a-no-no-knows
They're occupied
Time to be m-mine
Let's get inside your car
Just you, me and the stars
Kind of menage à trois sometimes
Would he be mine [Repeat x3]
Oh baby, lights on
But your mom's not home

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.

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”

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Actually the second "menage a trois" is "menage etoilles" a play on words. Etoilles meaning stars. Lady Gaga told Adam to be careful about that.<br />
I. Love. This. Song.
<3333333333333333333333 love this song so much
boy oh boy do i wanna get you alone
This is my favorite song on the cd, it took forever to find it on this site though because the other lyrics posted for this say it is sung by Lady GaGa.
It is sung by GaGa.. jsyk ;)
Well the lyrics were actually written by Lady Gaga herself, but Adam Lambert sings it.
it's "Silly monage e trois" not "so in a menage e trois" cud u plz fix that! :)
LOVE the song.. can't help but dance to it. even though am no Gaga fan, i freakin LOVE the lyrics!! Adam is so sexy my God sigh
if it were anything other than what's posted i'd warrant it to be "C'est le menage et trois" to keep with the french line...but whatever GaGa sung should be correct..
Yes, the song was written by Lady Gaga and I think there is a studio version of it somewhere, but it was passed along to Adam.
Honestly, I love both versions.
i agree, both versions are so different and amazing at the same time!
Actually, Lady Gaga did not record a studio version of this song. But the live one is pretty awesome. Look it up on YouTube.
this song talks about wanting to get down with someone and i can't really expalin the rest
"monage e trois" is French for threesome - just if no-one knew that :) Basically the song is about wanting to have sex with someone
Damn, this is one sexy song! I swear, if there’s one person on this earth who doesn’t get all hot and bothered by this song, something’s gotta be wrong with ‘em! Best song on the album. Period. And thank God for you, lectricblue! Finally there’s someone else out there who’s actually got the lyrics right!
u rock adam ;)
Adam's gonna go for it tonight! Woot Woot. Luv Adam and his originality ;)
