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.
As your lover,
I have my doubts that you kiss your mother with that mouth.
You put it on me.
Up and down me.
We had a good time crossing those lines.
Now that we're friends,
It's becoming more and more clear
That your vampire boyfriend isn't going anywhere.
You put me on.
You put on a good show.
(At least I can see myself in the mirror.)
I have my doubts that you kiss your mother with that mouth.
You put it on me.
Up and down me.
We had a good time crossing those lines.
Now that we're friends,
It's becoming more and more clear
That your vampire boyfriend isn't going anywhere.
You put me on.
You put on a good show.
(At least I can see myself in the mirror.)

@[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.

Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i think it's about cheating. even so, this song is amazing.
first of all, definitely my favorite owen song. amazing sound and vocals. anyways, its clearly about cheating if you think about it. i think its about a guy and girl who were once together, or were once sleeping together, but he mightve caught her cheating on him (or found out shes been sleeping with someone else too), so they either broke up or just became friends, depending on the situation. thinking maybe it was a temporary thing between her and her lover and thinking that they could someday be together again, he held on. but it was clear she wasnt gonna stop sleeping with this guy (she only sees him at night, thus vampire boyfriend). the only comfort he gets is knowing he'll never be like that (he can see himself in the mrror, therefore not a vampire)
This is such a good song.
This is such a good song.
Last line. Pure beauty.
i think it means.. they were having an affair, they used to have a lot of sex, and she was uninhibited, so that's why he says the line "i have my doubts you kiss your mother with that mouth." and then either they broke up, or just stopped having sex, and now they're being just friends. and he wanted her to break up with her boyfriend but "it's becoming more and more clear that your vampire boyfriend isn't going anywhere." - she has no intention of breaking up with her boyfriend.
this makes me want to jump off a cliff. it really does. how can someone make music that is this sad?
This is probably my favorite Owen song...although Kinsella has so many amazing ones.
