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.
Heat seeps in holes
Heat seeps in souls
Sweat soaked yellow shroud
Breathless protection
Daggers where the eyes should be
Blood running down your cheeks
Eyes in black suns direction
Feet burning insects stinging
Sweat soaked yellow shroud
Breathless protection
Daggers where the eyes should be
Blood running down your cheeks
Begin
Inject
Remove
The point
The ocean spreads beneath the skin
Fluid fills blackened lungs
Tar seeps across the eyes
Away in the sea of red
Heat seeps in souls
Sweat soaked yellow shroud
Breathless protection
Daggers where the eyes should be
Blood running down your cheeks
Eyes in black suns direction
Feet burning insects stinging
Sweat soaked yellow shroud
Breathless protection
Daggers where the eyes should be
Blood running down your cheeks
Begin
Inject
Remove
The point
The ocean spreads beneath the skin
Fluid fills blackened lungs
Tar seeps across the eyes
Away in the sea of red

oh sorry didnt mention heat seeps in holes and souls, although that should be pretty obvious, from black suns to eye sockets, and whatever drug habit or problem you have but in this case think of smoke and how it seeps into the lowest crevices, all seeping into the hole that is you, and becoming permanent marks and burns in your soul.
sorry about the double post thing
