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.
It's a shame
Such a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame to believe in escape
A life on every face
And that's a change
'till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling we share
It's a shame
Number me with rage
That's a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my fate
Tell me to react, I don't care
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
The feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame to believe in escape
A life on every face
And that's a change
'till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling we share
It's a shame
Number me with rage
That's a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my fate
Tell me to react, I don't care
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
The feeling that we share
It's a shame

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
