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.
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
Not my mind
Yo J
Can I get a little bit?
Your veins flow with poison, please acknowledge my present
This precious gift I behold, discarded like trash
To dominate it's in your nature, you selfish brat
I can't believe you had me strung out over you like that
One minute you're sweet the next minute you're sour
I taste the envious predictions
Change with each hour, I've seen this before
You even decided to step into my little world
Strange things occurring, happening over and
Over and over again habitual cruelty
You bark your orders with such a degrading dialect
I can't believe you had me strung out over you like that
One minute you're sweet the next minute you're sour
I taste the envious predictions
Change with each hour, I've seen this before
You even decided to step into my little world
Gonna funk it up
One minute you think you're all this
The next minute you think you're all that
But you're playing with a nova
Momma didn't show ya
How to take getting canned by the man when it's over?
I've been hunting you down
Waiting for the payback, you frown
Begging me for your mercy
I ain't down with the sympathy, you see?
And I'll always remember your tender love wiped me under the rug
Just so you could step on my spine
I'm gonna get mine
I'm gonna get mine
All this pain inflicted reminds me (I'm gonna get mine)
All this time which was wasted behind me (I'm gonna get mine)
Behind these wall of such hate, you'll find me (I'm gonna get mine)
I'd like to re-arrange your face, I'm gonna get mine
(Please don't wake me)
I'm gonna get mine
(Please don't wake me)
You're so sweet
You're so sweet
You're so sweet
I'm gonna get mine
I'm gonna get mine
I'm gonna get mine
So stop, was wasted behind me
(I'm gonna get mine)
Behind these walls of such hate, you'll find me
(I'm gonna get mine)
I'm gonna get mine
I'm gonna get mine (you're so sweet, you're so sweet, you're so sweet)
You're always, you're always right
And I'm always wrong
That's why you love me so much
You're so sweet
I love you
You're so sweet
I love you
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
It's not my mind
Not my mind

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."

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This is my fave Limp Bizkit song. I'm just all into the whole "fed up with your shit, gonna get you back" theme. People shouldnt take advantage of other people...
best LB song out there.....its about a girl that he really liked but she treated him like shit "to dominate, it's in your nature, you selfish brat I can't believe you had me strung out all over you like that"......gives me chills
one of the best by limp. Can't believe a girl would treat him like shit. Fuck em.
