Beautiful song. If you've ever read Neville Goddard you will know what it's about.

The 'suicide' is the old self that won't allow him to enter the state of being loved by this woman. The 'monkey' is the 'monkey mind' that won't let him stop thinking stupid thoughts about the old story between them, and he is finally ready to let go of the old state and move into the new one.

On “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift talks about how complex relationships are and how severe the consequences can be if emotions are left unresolved. I’ll rate the song 8/10 for its candid songwriting and strong vocal performances.

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...

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.
Funny reading everybody's thoughts and hypothesis, if you know this album well and you want to know the truth behind some of the lyrical subject matter just watch the movie Blue Velvet

I think this is about the fact that none of us really have control of anything and we’ve all forgotten that and lost our way. We try to control everything and we act as if we’re gods and expect to be catered and bowed down to (“waiting for God to bend the knee”). We are all actually only beggars because we control so little and need so much, and our society toils on in this pursuit of a perceived power that doesn’t exist. Even the kings are beggars because they don’t control everyone and they can’t control...

Even the kings are beggars because they don’t control everyone and they can’t control when they love or die or so many other things, but we all live in denial of these facts and try to set ourselves up as our own gods.
A lot of religious undertones here, but I think he’s using religious imagery we in the west are all familiar with illustrate a point about our elites. The “Gods” clipping the wings of the Phoenix are the elites that have created a system that virtually can’t be fought against or reset, and we all need to get rid of them (cutting the roots of the weeds). No place to go if we don’t believe - the tyrannical narrative that’s being forced down all of our throats by our overlords while they steal and kill and destroy to continue...

No place to go if we don’t believe - the tyrannical narrative that’s being forced down all of our throats by our overlords while they steal and kill and destroy to continue further enriching themselves at everyone else’s expense. We are heading to hell on earth as if life isn’t hard enough already, and if we all collectively don’t come to terms with the lies and do something to preserve the original free market system built on the notion that every individual person matters equally then we will be lost forever to the new techno-tyranny that’s emerging rapidly.
I think he uses this theme in other songs as well but this one is more explicit and I, of course, described the “system” in my own terms but it really is what’s happening all around us while we all sit back not knowing what to do because they’ve built such an impenetrable system and cut off all peaceful means of reform and yet violent revolutions always end up worse, so that’s also not a solution.
An incredibly funky song, particularly live.

The lyrics are fractured and abstract, describing several protagonists whose alienated existence barely constitutes living.

The sense of dissociation Byrne conjures up recalls the cut-up texts used by Burroughs in 'Naked Lunch' to approximate the fragmented existence of a regular drug-user - this song might share that theme, which would be supported by the activities of 'digging one's own grave' and 'visiting houses in motion'

Ultimately its guessword, as the author has heeded his own call to 'stop making sense!'
