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.

Its her Love (Her Love)
Which kept me strong through all the hard times of my life.....
Its her Love (Her Love)
The only thing that changed me, is the one who saved me..
[Verse 1:Jay Smoke]
I could'n ask for no one better,your love is so true..
The best thing about me, girl,is U !
You overlooked ma image, never took me as a crook..
Shy, first week later you liked me on Facebook
You a gangster gal, you be killing them girls all the time
You more than gold to me, you all mine..
Never stopped loving you these years !!now we gotta take it to the next phase,
Don't fear..so now I close ma eyes,
Coz her beauty is so alive, heart beats to the wings of the rhythm of a butterfly
Yea I think about it !!yea I talk about it !! and I would shout out, to the whole world about it....
I Know you had a past, but we can make a future.. its the perfect time for me and you, Forget the rumors...
And now I cry, tears, reflecting from her beautiful light,forget what haters say, its me and you for life !

[Verse 2]
The way I felt for u ,is something really special, I never felt this way,
So you more than just special,
I think about you all the time and I want you in my life..
And never.... will I lie..for the one I truly love
You the everything I want, you the everything I need.....
And I ain't going nowhere Birdy, you can count on me..
I love you till I last,I will love you till my death.
I can stand by you all the time, this I confess
If it was'n for you, I would have never been alive,
Cuz all the problems around me, that make me wanna die,
I ain't moving back girl, you get better with time..
You are beautiful girl, you get better with mine,
Like the myths of mermaid, none I can find,
For woman like you, I dedicated one rhyme,
For that attractive smile which controls ma mind
Ma princess you are, just one of a kind....

[Verse 3]
The first time I met you, our eyes connected
Too late to realize, that I'm affected..
You spun your web on me, built a nest in my brain
And before I realized you left eggs with my name
You the best of the best, you my first and my next
You just hard to predict, so rare to exist
You can be Beyonce, I can be your Jay
Never mind the commitments, lets get married today
And I hope you listen every time that I say.
You the reason why I'm smiling at the start of the day
Have I ever told ya, your hair looks fly !!
I get lost in your eyes and I ask myself why??
Its so hard to find, true love is so rare
Don't you worry baby I ain't going nowhere
You so precious, I never leave you in trouble
Hold you so soft like you a water bubble...

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
