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.
Don't know what I'm feeling or what I should say
On how my life changed
The day I stumbled on her grave
Not a necrophiliac, I guess I was bored
I just love to spend my
Time with a fresh embalmed corpse
Of course
She was a teenage zombie
She was a teenage corpse
She was a teenage zombie
Drop dead gorgeous that's for sure
I took her to the movies
And I took her to the park
I took her in the back-seat
And that's where she stole my heart
And then I walked her home
From our postmortem date
She took me by the hand and we danced upon her grave
She was a teenage zombie
She was a teenage corpse
She was a teenage zombie
Drop dead gorgeous that's for sure
On how my life changed
The day I stumbled on her grave
Not a necrophiliac, I guess I was bored
I just love to spend my
Time with a fresh embalmed corpse
Of course
She was a teenage zombie
She was a teenage corpse
She was a teenage zombie
Drop dead gorgeous that's for sure
I took her to the movies
And I took her to the park
I took her in the back-seat
And that's where she stole my heart
And then I walked her home
From our postmortem date
She took me by the hand and we danced upon her grave
She was a teenage zombie
She was a teenage corpse
She was a teenage zombie
Drop dead gorgeous that's for sure

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
I think this is about a zombie boy [or just ordinary boy] going to the graveyard and stumbling onto a dead girls grave but she comes alive and the rest is in the song.
