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.
Miss Laura fed the hungry in the church house basement
After she retired from teaching school
She'd pick my son up in her arms on Sundays
To teach him all about the golden rule
I heard those stories about Selma and Tuskeegee
How she helped Martin fill the jail
All I know is she had the strength of te grown men
Even though her hands were small and frail
She was an everyday angel,the kind without wings
Walking around in the world,just like you and me
Angel,living out love
The kind of people we could us a lot more of
Just an everyday angel,everyday angel
Marilyn was waiting outside my old man's office
Trying to hide the bruises on her face
He said,"You don't have to get knocked around anymore"
"You can come and live at our place"
I didn't know till I had kids of my own
But I learn a big lesson that day
What you do means a whole lot more
Then anything you have to say
Go be an everyday angel,the kind without wings
Walking round in this world,just like you and me
Angel,living out love
The kind of people we could use a lot more of
An everyday angel,everyday angel
Dave was gonna meet his wife at a coffee shop in Brooklyn
When he heard the alarm sing out
911,he was running up the stairs then he never got back down
Down,down
He was an everyday angel,earnin' his wings
Trying to save people who are just like you and me
Angel,living out love
The kind of people we could use a lot more of
An everyday angel,everyday angel
Everyday angel,everyday angel
Everyday angel
After she retired from teaching school
She'd pick my son up in her arms on Sundays
To teach him all about the golden rule
I heard those stories about Selma and Tuskeegee
How she helped Martin fill the jail
All I know is she had the strength of te grown men
Even though her hands were small and frail
She was an everyday angel,the kind without wings
Walking around in the world,just like you and me
Angel,living out love
The kind of people we could us a lot more of
Just an everyday angel,everyday angel
Marilyn was waiting outside my old man's office
Trying to hide the bruises on her face
He said,"You don't have to get knocked around anymore"
"You can come and live at our place"
I didn't know till I had kids of my own
But I learn a big lesson that day
What you do means a whole lot more
Then anything you have to say
Go be an everyday angel,the kind without wings
Walking round in this world,just like you and me

The kind of people we could use a lot more of
An everyday angel,everyday angel

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.
