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.
Por ella
Si sentí emociones nuevas
Yo que estaba ya de vuelta, fue por ella
Si he llorado y he gozado
De un amor desesperado, fue por ella
Si pase sin esperarlo
De Don Juan a conquistado, fue por ella
Por ella
Si inventaba mil maneras
De quererla y no perderla, fue por ella
Yo que siempre fui un bohemio
Me hice amigo del silencio y fue por ella
Si mi vida en blanco y negro
Se vistió en colores nuevos, fue por ella
Por ella
Sé que me muero por ella
Todo lo he sido por ella
Todo lo he dado por ella
Por ella
Tantos te quieros por ella
Tantos recuerdos por ella
Ya no la puedo olvidar
Por ella
Si yo alguna vez fui un loco
Y a consejos me hice el sordo, fue por ella
Y aunque fuera solo un poco
Si algún día fui celoso, fue por ella
Si cambié tanto de pronto
Y me enamoré del todo, fue por ella
Por ella
Si he vivido una aventura
De locura y de ternura, fue por ella
Y si sufro la tortura
De un cariño que aun me dura, es por ella
Y si todos se preguntan
Por quien canto mi amargura, es por ella
Por ella
Sé que me muero por ella
Todo lo he sido por ella
Todo lo he dado por ella
Por ella
Tantos te quieros por ella
Tantos recuerdos por ella
Hoy ya no vivo sin ella
Por ella
Sé que me muero por ella
Todo lo he sido por ella
Todo lo he dado por ella
Si sentí emociones nuevas
Yo que estaba ya de vuelta, fue por ella
Si he llorado y he gozado
De un amor desesperado, fue por ella
Si pase sin esperarlo
De Don Juan a conquistado, fue por ella
Por ella
Si inventaba mil maneras
De quererla y no perderla, fue por ella
Yo que siempre fui un bohemio
Me hice amigo del silencio y fue por ella
Si mi vida en blanco y negro
Se vistió en colores nuevos, fue por ella
Por ella
Sé que me muero por ella
Todo lo he sido por ella
Todo lo he dado por ella
Por ella
Tantos te quieros por ella
Tantos recuerdos por ella
Ya no la puedo olvidar
Por ella
Si yo alguna vez fui un loco
Y a consejos me hice el sordo, fue por ella
Y aunque fuera solo un poco
Si algún día fui celoso, fue por ella
Si cambié tanto de pronto
Y me enamoré del todo, fue por ella
Por ella
Si he vivido una aventura
De locura y de ternura, fue por ella
Y si sufro la tortura
De un cariño que aun me dura, es por ella
Y si todos se preguntan
Por quien canto mi amargura, es por ella
Por ella
Sé que me muero por ella
Todo lo he sido por ella
Todo lo he dado por ella
Por ella
Tantos te quieros por ella
Tantos recuerdos por ella
Hoy ya no vivo sin ella
Por ella
Sé que me muero por ella
Todo lo he sido por ella
Todo lo he dado por ella

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.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
