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.
So Long
Our bags are waiting by the door
I took the phot off the wall
We won't meet here anymore
Like so many times before
This time tomorrow we'll be gone
Can't find no peace, we're on the run
Take whatever comes at all
My head id filled with shots of all of you
Laughs about things that we used to do
One last time before we see this through
(Chorus)
So long my friends
Drain your glass and fill them onece again
Tonight will be ourmemory
So long my friends
Time has come for us to move along
But I don't see this as the end
Another face another name
No two places look the same
Everything is bound to change
Until we meet again
We're never sure what we call home
I can't settledown for long
The glass is greener anywhere
Out of time and in too deep
We're psychotic from the lack of sleep but we're
Staying up so we can saygoodbye
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause I know that one day
We'll all be face to face again
Till then let's fly into tomorrow
Cause nothing no nothing
Will ever change what we've been through
So let's just keep on moving on and on and on and on
Our bags are waiting by the door
I took the phot off the wall
We won't meet here anymore
My head is filles with shots of all of you
Laughs about things that we used to do
One last time before we see this through
Our bags are waiting by the door
I took the phot off the wall
We won't meet here anymore
Like so many times before
This time tomorrow we'll be gone
Can't find no peace, we're on the run
Take whatever comes at all
My head id filled with shots of all of you
Laughs about things that we used to do
One last time before we see this through
(Chorus)
So long my friends
Drain your glass and fill them onece again
Tonight will be ourmemory
So long my friends
Time has come for us to move along
But I don't see this as the end
Another face another name
No two places look the same
Everything is bound to change
Until we meet again
We're never sure what we call home
I can't settledown for long
The glass is greener anywhere
Out of time and in too deep
We're psychotic from the lack of sleep but we're
Staying up so we can saygoodbye
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause I know that one day
We'll all be face to face again
Till then let's fly into tomorrow
Cause nothing no nothing
Will ever change what we've been through
So let's just keep on moving on and on and on and on
Our bags are waiting by the door
I took the phot off the wall
We won't meet here anymore
My head is filles with shots of all of you
Laughs about things that we used to do
One last time before we see this through

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
