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 Yeah!
You make me feel so pretty
When I'm not feeling so cool today
Yeah you pull me out
When you know that I'm afraid
Something about you
It drys up every tear in my way
And when I trip myself on the sidewalk
You put my boots back on me babe
Cause your my cowboy your my everything
And you know how to get me
Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down
You lift my feet up off the ground
Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow
You know where to make me go
Sometimes I am the happy girl you love
Sometimes I dont feel good enough
Sometimes sometimes oh
Your there when i need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
When I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
I ask myself this question
About you that i can not explain
How you ride with me
When you know that I'm to blame
You've proved your love I
Dont need to hear the words that you say
But i know you say them anyway
Just to keep me feeling safe
As my worries become a yesterday
Baby you get me
Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down
You lift my feet up off the ground
Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow
You know where to make me go
Sometimes I am the happy girl you love
Sometimes I dont feel good enough
Sometimes sometimes oh
Your there when i need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
When I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
And my worries become a yesterday
Cause baby you know I'm...
You make me feel so pretty
When I'm not feeling so cool today
Yeah you pull me out
When you know that I'm afraid
Something about you
It drys up every tear in my way
And when I trip myself on the sidewalk
You put my boots back on me babe
Cause your my cowboy your my everything
And you know how to get me
Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down
You lift my feet up off the ground
Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow
You know where to make me go
Sometimes I am the happy girl you love
Sometimes I dont feel good enough
Sometimes sometimes oh
Your there when i need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
When I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
I ask myself this question
About you that i can not explain
How you ride with me
When you know that I'm to blame
You've proved your love I
Dont need to hear the words that you say
But i know you say them anyway
Just to keep me feeling safe
As my worries become a yesterday
Baby you get me
Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down
You lift my feet up off the ground
Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow
You know where to make me go
Sometimes I am the happy girl you love
Sometimes I dont feel good enough
Sometimes sometimes oh
Your there when i need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
When I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
And my worries become a yesterday
Cause baby you know I'm...

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
