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.
Well these are gonna be
My last days here
I'm wastin' away at times too dear
Somebody hold me
I'm afraid
Buy me a ticket for a place to be saved
It's been too long
Since I seem your face
It's been to long
Since I had a place, yeah
You never seemed to see
Until you had my heart
I'm driftin' by
Just torn apart
Somebody stay near this time it's for real
I'm just what you made me baby
I never heal
And it's been too long since I seen your face
Well it's been too long since I had a place

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.
Its a beautiful song. I always feel like crying when I hear that song. I think its a love song about not wanting to let go of your love and feel like your days are gonna end and you'll suddenly feel "cold" if that would happen ("Its been too long since ive seen your [pretty] face" "Don't say goodbye baby.") This song is unique because unlike most doom metal songs, the meaning of this song isn't based on doomsday.
@MetalRox What kind of generic metal do you listen to where all they talk about is doomsday? I honestly think this song goes a little bit deeper than just going cold from a relationship. I think that he's talking about how he's actually ending his life, hence "last days here" and "this time it's for real".
