If the friends are good to me
The white fairy is bending her bow
Shoots into the face of my worries
and out of the two halves breaks
the father of all mirrors

He`s waving at me and I bend
and he`s whispering in my ear

You are the sweetest child of all
I`ll keep you as my own blood
you are the nicest child of all
in me even the evil is good

The curiosity is making my dream longer
the white fairy she sings and she laughs
she made me pregnant violently
and is torturing me through the night
the father of all mirrors

He`s waving at me and I bend
and he`s whispering in my ear

You are the sweetest child of all
I`ll keep you as my own blood
you are the nicest child of all
in me even the evil is good

As I defend myself against the pains of birth,
still being a bitch in the cradle,
watch me while I give birth,
and devour the own afterbirth.

You are the sweetest child of all...

    This translation is awful. I'll try a better one, it will be far from perfect - and yet an improvement. Here we go: "If the friends are well disposed | the Fairy White will arch her bow, | shoots my troubles in the face, | and on both sides the mirror cracks, | the father of all mirrors. || He beckons me, and I reach down, | he whispers softly in my ear: || You are the most beautiful child of all, | I'll keep you as blood of my own blood. | You are the most beautiful child, | In me even evil will be good. || Curiosity prolongs my dream, | the Fairy White, she sings and laughs, | having forced me into expectancy, | and tormenting me throughout the night | is the father of all mirrors. || You are the most beautiful child of all, | I'll keep you as blood of my own blood. | You are the most beautiful child, | In me even evil will be good. || And as I defy the pain of birth, | still whoring in the maternity bed, | I watch myself as I give birth | and devour my own afterbirth. || You are the most beautiful child... "

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
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.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
