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.
Si ah
In a darkened place
Man without a face
Count on fingers the choices he could have made
Paint a picture of
view from up above you
And soon he's painting in blood
And that man is me
La vida perdi
Now I'm casting a shadow in front of me
Now I've drained my heart so I no longer bleed
Clip my wings and hope to fly
Wave my last goodbye
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will you call to me?
Just in memory
En la oscuridad de acordaras de mi
Now you turn and run
Up towards the sunrise
You can't, you're walking on glass
Now it's you or me
Ya no creo en ti
Too late to say that you should have followed me
Too late to sell my flesh so I no longer feel
Clip my wings and hope to fly
Wave my last goodbye
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Si ah
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
In a darkened place
Man without a face
Count on fingers the choices he could have made
Paint a picture of
view from up above you
And soon he's painting in blood
And that man is me
La vida perdi
Now I'm casting a shadow in front of me
Now I've drained my heart so I no longer bleed
Clip my wings and hope to fly
Wave my last goodbye
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will you call to me?
Just in memory
En la oscuridad de acordaras de mi
Now you turn and run
Up towards the sunrise
You can't, you're walking on glass
Now it's you or me
Ya no creo en ti
Too late to say that you should have followed me
Too late to sell my flesh so I no longer feel
Clip my wings and hope to fly
Wave my last goodbye
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Si ah
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die, won't you try?
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die
Will you take my place? Burn your name in the sky
Will I be awake? Hold my hand when I die
Won't you take my place? Burn your name in the sky

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song. Ive just got back from watching these guys in birmingham, absolutelly brilliant! I think this song is about regretting things you did or didn't do, just as you are about to die, and its too late to change them.
The actual story behind the song according to Paul Isola, is loosely based around the attacks on 9/11, people are constantly fighting each other, and in the end we'll destory the world completely.
Re-read the first verse, and you will see it makes more sense that way, but I think they wrote it that way so it can have different meanings to anyone.
It's dark. It's vivid. It's just soooo cool.
