He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Hey, Are you sleeping?
We've got nothing better to do
Than just lay here, together
Let it pass...
It wasn't so hard to destroy
Now its not so easy to forget
And its so cold in here
Are you awake?
We've got nothing better to do
Than just lay here, together
Let it pass...
It wasn't so hard to destroy
Now its not so easy to forget
And its so cold in here
Are you awake?

Fortnight

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.

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.
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.
pretty.
this is how i woke up on the first day of the year. the bittersweetness of lying in bed (or on the ground) with your love, even though you ruined it before, and knowing that it would be the last time it was ever going to occur (and not knowing they had just fucked some girl only hours earlier; wait, thats not in the song, whatever).
your comment was longer than the song crazy.
i dislike this song
I like the lyrics alot.. I just don't like how it is presented. There should be a pretty melody for pretty words. Cursive dissapoints me with this alittle.
i like this song alot, as it shows a distruction that they both created and they are just sitting in a lonely cold dark room kinda like a bit in the film 1984... i really like how the music builds up and than fades... it really scary though nice at the same time.
These words aren't that pretty they don't need pretty music I've had this for so long but now it's really hitting home. the music could be better. but the way the words are said is all you really need. it's so despondent and lifeless. love this song
Not to say the obvious or anything, but it's definitely two people talking and falling asleep on the phone.
or in bed.
