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.
Slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
I'm a dick thrower, her neck and her back hurtin'
Cut throater, have you like a brand new virgin
It's like once you get used of it then you start servin'
Hop up on top and start jicky-jicky-jerking
Slow down for me, you moving too fast
My fingers keep slippin', I'm tryna grip that ass
Keep being hard-headed and I'ma make you get off me
Got human enough disguise but my face is a doggy
If you lovin' my bark let me bury my bone
I got four or five bad married bitches at home
One of my bitches fell in love with that outside dick
That outside dick keep them hoes sick, like
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
It's like I got the world in my palms
Your girl up under my arms, she fucked up from the charm
She love the way the dick stay hard from twelve 'til early in the morn'
Fine bitches if you're listenin', you heard me, I'm strong
If you're going through your cycle, I ain't with it, I'm gone
You musta heard about them hoes that I beat up in my home
They wasn't tellin' the truth, baby, you know they was wrong
Now, make it official, wind up some of that dome
I don't mind buyin' blue, you're ridin' too
Don't be askin' nigga questions about where I'm drivin' you
Lil' mama, my shit together, I ain't jivin' you
I don't think that nigga could do you better then I could do, ya know
It's Juvenile from cross the street by the derby
Same nigga used to be runnin' with Rusty and Kirby
Can a playa from the 'Nolia get a chance with it?
But I can't bounce with you without using my hands with it
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Slow motion, she open, I'm hopin' she don't leave my dick broken
With brush burns and swollen
I'm totin', she wanted me to make her out a believer
I guarantee ya I'ma see ya when I see ya
And just don't holla out my name like we was all that
Your pussy throw back and you know that
So stop stuntin', slow motion for a real nigga
I'm gone off that incredible potion and I'ma deal with ya
I like how that Victoria Secret sit in that ass
Let me pour some more Hyp' and Hennssey in your glass
Would I be violatin' if I grab me a handful?
I'm knowin' what's happenin', all I want is a sample
Who you with? I'm in the rental today
It's going down and happenin' and I remember the way
Less money we spend on bullshit, the more for the weed
What it's gon' take to get you to come and slow motion with me, like
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that
She workin' that back, I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me
Ugh, I like it like that

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.
