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.
World is falling before our eyes
We've sold our souls for - empty lies
Indoctrinations circle writhes In persecuted brainwashed minds
Master of this empty void controls your thoughts all - love destroyed
Hell is worth it for heavens prize
To war & pain desensitized
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to Utopian - War is Master
Propaganda has bought your mind
An afterlife you fantasize,
The social ladder that you have climbed
Reality left long behind
Carry me away with the setting sun
my dream of death has - just begun
Pain of mind destruction calls
This seething cage I must break from
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to utopian - war is master
Whores to oblivion breeding faster
Death to Utopian -war is master
Apocalypse is coming today........
Or was it supposed to be yesterday???
The world is falling into its grave
Oh lord have mercy, can we be saved?
NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to utopian - war is master
Whores to oblivion breeding faster
Death to Utopian -war is master
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to utopian - war is master
Whores to oblivion breeding faster
Death to Utopian -war is master
Whores to oblivion.....
We've sold our souls for - empty lies
Indoctrinations circle writhes In persecuted brainwashed minds
Master of this empty void controls your thoughts all - love destroyed
Hell is worth it for heavens prize
To war & pain desensitized
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to Utopian - War is Master
Propaganda has bought your mind
An afterlife you fantasize,
The social ladder that you have climbed
Reality left long behind
Carry me away with the setting sun
my dream of death has - just begun
Pain of mind destruction calls
This seething cage I must break from
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to utopian - war is master
Whores to oblivion breeding faster
Death to Utopian -war is master
Apocalypse is coming today........
Or was it supposed to be yesterday???
The world is falling into its grave
Oh lord have mercy, can we be saved?
NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to utopian - war is master
Whores to oblivion breeding faster
Death to Utopian -war is master
Whores to oblivion - rising faster
Death to utopian - war is master
Whores to oblivion breeding faster
Death to Utopian -war is master
Whores to oblivion.....

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
