He certainly did earn that reputation.
Why can't they understand
It was always more than being in a band
I came here tonight to find my friends
Didn't they put a stake right through our hearts
Hold me close through the rain
I'll play the second set and the sense walk out again
Why is it so wrong to be sure
Rip the stake out from my stylish heart
If they come to find me
I will fall into peices
If they come to find me
I'll sneak out the window
It's not right
It's not right
Its not right
Its not right
Taking it up and taking it back
Taking it up and taking it back
Taking it up and taking it back
Taking it up and taking it back
It was always more than being in a band
I came here tonight to find my friends
Didn't they put a stake right through our hearts
Hold me close through the rain
I'll play the second set and the sense walk out again
Why is it so wrong to be sure
Rip the stake out from my stylish heart
If they come to find me
I will fall into peices
If they come to find me
I'll sneak out the window
It's not right
It's not right
Its not right
Its not right
Taking it up and taking it back
Taking it up and taking it back
Taking it up and taking it back
Taking it up and taking it back

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
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.
i think this song is about her& her friends. how they are constantly backstabbing eachother, but in the end they're always togethere and hanging out.

I love this song.
this song a kick ass song
I thought this song was about how she just wants to play music with her friends and deliver her messages about feminism etc but people keep putting her down hence the 'stake through our hearts' thing. Also the 'Why is it so wrong to be sure' part is about how she doesn't understand why people have a problem with her sticking by her beliefs.
replica8715 said it but i am confused about the who they are
i think this is about them getting ¨famous¨ or whatever and in a band and their friends (maybe cos theyr jealous or something) backstab them or something kind of their friends turning their backs when they started to get busy
Instead of "I'll play the second set and the sense walk out again", I hear "I'll play the second side of the Slits record again".
