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.
[Chorus]
And you want me to give you all of my heart
All of my love
But you don't love me (yeah!)
And you keep on sayin' that's how you are
But that ain't good enough
Cause you don't love me (gucci!)
And you want me to think that were gonna pass
So I keep coming back (LeToya Luckett what's happenin')
You say it might be
But baby that ain't
Gonna be good enough
So there ain't no us
Cause you don't love me
I'm a zone six nigga so it ain't nothin' to it
Yo man won't beat it up but guess what (i'll do it)
Yo man won't beat it up but guess what (i'll do it)
Yo man won't beat it up but guess what (i'll do it)
Yo man won't beat it up but guess what (i'll do it)
I'll beat that thing like I'm performin'
Ya hate me now but you gon' love me in the mornin' (yeah)
Flash flood warning I'm in the club stormin' (go go go go, stop!)
Girls choosing shawty but I'll come and getcha toy friend
High than a martian I'm round the wheel of fortune (its Gucci)
You my vandal right and even rich hoes thank u gorgeous (well damn!)
The way you put it down you remind me of my porsche (wow)
And I'm not bein' arrogant I'm just tryin' being cautious (wow)
I'm so scared of coming admit it make me nauseous

G love baby all I'll give ya
Cause u don't fell in love
With a real street nigga

And if I laced up to ya you give it to hides man
Rubbin' on ya thighs and I'm lookin' in ya eyes and

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical

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.
