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'm coming through to meet u
Girl I can't wait to see u
Just stepped up out of Magic
I'm feeling like an addict
I need a little touch-up to help me go to sleep
So I'm about to pull up buzz the gate for me
I step off through the door, stumbling from all the sipping
I pull you to the floor, you high from all the kissing
Oooh I know you with it, so let's take it slow
I brought you a ticket baby, I'm gon do a show
Baby you the juice, watch me be the gin
Hit it like a nigga who just got up out the pen
From the floor to the kitchen, kitchen
To the bathroom, bathroom to the shower
Take a break and bring it back in an hour oooh
I'm in my zone tonight, I'm feeling alright
I got this wine in me, got that weed in me
Feeling like a soldier, wana do it rough
I know you like it when I hold you, girl I wana oooh
Make it rain tonight and I ain't talking bout no money girl
I'm a make it rain tonight and I ain't quitting til I get it right (get it right)
Now baby stand up, put your hands against the wall while I kiss down your spine
I'm sure you know where I go from here
And I know you feel when I'm kissing on your kitten
And I know you gon be tripping when I (step inside your love)
Oooh that's what I do, (I just wana love) oooh the closer I get to you
I said it keeps on getting better and I love when we're together
Baby you the juice, watch me be the gin
Hit it like a nigga who just got up out the pen
From the floor to the kitchen, kitchen
To the bathroom, bathroom to the shower
Take a break and bring it back in an hour oooh

I got this wine in me, got that weed in me
Feeling like a soldier, wana do it rough

"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.
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.

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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Baby you the juice, watch me be the gin beat it like a nigga who just got up out the pen From the floor to the kitchen, kitchen to the bathroom, bathroom to the shower, Take a break and bring it back in an hour oooh
