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.

[Snoop Verse]
Fo-fo in my bag, mo-mo in my glass
Po-po's on my ass, man they want a nigga bad
I zig and I zag cause I got expired tags
I'm just tryin' to make it to my nephew Layzie's pad
Dippin' in the old school 6-7 rag
Either I'm a throw out the mag or blast they ass
Fast with the decision
Cash was my envision
Life's about havin' it, stackin' it, and crackin' it
While I'm flippin' these bitches
No more chickens, they livin' so fa'gazy
Layzie let's just kick it
Get it, got it, pop it for me one time
If you want to switch, lock it for me one time
Now do the three-wheel motion, coastin'

G'd up in Snoop Dogg clothing

So take head motherfucker'd before you lose out

[Chorus: x2]
[Ken Dawg]

Suckin' up the love, Doggouse and Mo' Thug

As I muscle through scrubs, congregatin'
Makin' my pressence "Oh what a essence"

Hey holla Mo' Thug (Mo' Thug)
Haters hold up, you know what?

Players we came, together to get this money 'fore we G-O
They love me for that
They know I'm in love with the scratch
I hear a million niggas hollin' how they want a contract
I analyze'd all, information exposed in the air
Judge it for myself and told you my response as a player
Set up and had it, stretched out
World wide spread
All the way from the 2-1-6 to the 2-1-3 here
[Chorus: x2]
[Layzie]
You better believe a nigga be stompin' in my big black boots

Niggaz gon' do what they do
And I play this game like I bring it
Do this shit cause I mean it
Seen it come together so clean, shit
Do you know who I'm the team wit?
Only them, real live players from the block to the stage
Keepin' it locked and gettin' payed
Nothin' but thugs in our ways
It's them polished pimpin' players
Poppin' pistols packin' drama
I'm a put it like this
Pretty much I'm that nigga that'll bomb ya
If you want it, you can get it
Information, let me hit it
Can you feel me, nigga you dig it?
If you wit it, nigga what is it?
It's just them doggs in the house and mo' and mo' comin' in
So nigga blaze it, raise the roof
Nigga lights, camera, action
Cause that's what's happenin'
Real niggas unite
And do it right, cause if you don't
You might not get it twice
That's why I be, parlayin'
G'd up and Sharpei' and
I do this all day and
Your nigga Layzie Bone is in the house

Fast Car

"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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
