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 cashed in all my chips tonight,
combed my hair to look just right
Cause I been thinkin bout you and me girl
and we got somethin' goin' on
You told me you can't wait to see me
and you didn't bother to even show up
This whole situations incredibly typical
I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
It's girls like you that make me think I'm better off
home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
Call me on the phone
but you don't even want to talk
you're staring at me from across the room
but turn your back when I walk up
we got inches away
and I never even got close
leave your lipstick at home,
don't pick up the phone,
don't bother to look in my direction
I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
It's girls like you that make me think I'm better off
home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
Home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
Forget everything you think you know about me
This isn't highschool(8x)
(forget everything you think you know about me)
I'm better off home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
(forget everything you think you know about me)
Home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
(forget everything you think you know about me)
Home on a saturday night (this isn't high school)
with all my doors locked up tight (this isn't high school)
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby (this isn't high school)
(forget everything you think you know about me)
Home on a saturday night (this isn't high school)
with all my doors locked up tight (this isn't high school)
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby (this isn't high school)
combed my hair to look just right
Cause I been thinkin bout you and me girl
and we got somethin' goin' on
You told me you can't wait to see me
and you didn't bother to even show up
This whole situations incredibly typical
I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
I shoulda seen it all along
It's girls like you that make me think I'm better off
home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight
I won't be thinkin' about you, baby
Call me on the phone
but you don't even want to talk
you're staring at me from across the room
but turn your back when I walk up

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Musical genuises! These guys will be big before you know it. Their lyrics may just be the best out there.
