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.
you would not believe what I saw
one hundred million faces
screaming at me from behind a wall
they cut the wire, those bastards.
it wasn't enough to bleed and never enough
to lure you down the corridor
yeah, my room's right at the end.
set to expel, and I was
a steady increase, yes I was
and I’m getting ready to return it to you.
and now I’m so far gone
just thinking about it.
I haven't changed my mind
so forget about it.
I’m unafraid of those approaching dogs
yeah, fuck them I’m five times their size
cut off the balls, gauge out the eyes
turn down the sound and adjust the lighting.
I don't have enough to feed you and
your mouth full of uncertainty
the image that I’m left with
is both pleasing and confusing.
I will put up a fight and I will end up forgetting
to return it to you.
now I’m so far gone
just thinking about it
I haven't changed my mind
yeah, forget about it.
it is not enough to beat
no not enough to warrant you breaking my bones
I said I’m so far gone
just forget about it.
be kind. rewind.
You’ll get a fine.
I’m getting ready to return it to you.
now I’m so far gone
just thinking about it
you haven't changed my mind
yeah, forget about it.
it is not enough to beat
no not enough to warrant you breaking my bones
now I’m so far gone
just forget about it.
one hundred million faces
screaming at me from behind a wall
they cut the wire, those bastards.
it wasn't enough to bleed and never enough
to lure you down the corridor
yeah, my room's right at the end.
set to expel, and I was
a steady increase, yes I was
and I’m getting ready to return it to you.

yeah, fuck them I’m five times their size

I haven't changed my mind

no not enough to warrant you breaking my bones
I said I’m so far gone
just forget about it.
be kind. rewind.
You’ll get a fine.
I’m getting ready to return it to you.
now I’m so far gone
just thinking about it
you haven't changed my mind
yeah, forget about it.

no not enough to warrant you breaking my bones
now I’m so far gone
just forget about it.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
