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.
I'm closing all the curtains
So don't you even bother
And I'm calling out the murder
But I'm underneath the covers
And who's fooling who
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I want a platinum blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the colors (bleaching out the colors)
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water
And where did my lover go?
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I'm gonna sleep, all trough the day
I'm gonna sleep, my life away
I'm gonna sleep, all through the day
I'm gonna sleep, myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it'll go away
And there's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
And there's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
So don't you even bother
And I'm calling out the murder
But I'm underneath the covers
And who's fooling who
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I want a platinum blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the colors (bleaching out the colors)
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water
And where did my lover go?
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I'm gonna sleep, all trough the day
I'm gonna sleep, my life away
I'm gonna sleep, all through the day
I'm gonna sleep, myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it'll go away
And there's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
And there's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
AMAZING SONG one of my favorites for sure..but lamb love angel music baby...possibly a connection? Maybe not but you never know with a brilliant mind like Gwen and crew
