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.
Here I am, laid bare, at the end of my rope. I've lost all hope. So Long!
Molly Connolly just broke up with me over the revealing nature of the songs.
You goddamn kids had best be gracious with the merch money you spend
Because for you I won't ever have rough sex with Molly Connolly again.
Here I am, laid down, at the end of my rope, wishing I had not been born.
Now I've spewed too much. I can never shut it up. I thought you should be warned
And I implied black sky took the needle to my eye and sucked out all its glow,
But Molly Connolly ruined my life. I thought the world should know.
I can't stop thinking about what she did wrong to me.
I can't figure out just what I did wrong.
I'll kill myself thinking about the things that you did to me.
I'll kill myself! I'll kill myself! I'll kill myself

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

@[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.

you god damn kids had best be gracious with the merch money you spend because for you i won’t ever have rough sex with molly connolly again
that totally makes me laugh.
i love this song. i love max. i love sayanything.
Alli: This is a question I've always wanted to ask you. What's the deal with Molly Connelly?
Max: chuckle She's, I mean, it's like a song about how a girl can affect a guy for the rest of his life. Just one girl can give you tons of problems, and just screw you up. But also it's from the point of view of being, how someone can mess with your life's work. It's also from the point of view of being in a band, or being any kind of artist. It's like you give up the ability to have an easy relationship when you live a certain life.
Alli: So was Molly Connelly a real girl? Or…?
Max: The name isn't real. But it's a few stories put together

this guy is such an asshole. haha i love it.
i like that last idea. i think it's an amazing song because on the most straightforward level, he's saying that he's giving up molly because he can't afford her because of the profession he's in. he's telling the kids at a concert that they should buy more merch because he can't buy molly anymore which insinuates that molly is a hooker. he's saying he's giving her up because he'd rather be singing for the kids.
this is such an arrogant asshole song but max likes to slip in little sublities that show he's actually a nice guy. he kind of shows that he likes molly for more than the sex. every song makes me fall for max a little bit more, even though he's a complete asshole in most of the songs. but you just can't help it for someone who's this amazing and just... real. nothing stops him from speaking his mind.
Can't this song just be about some chick dumping him for the nature of the songs? Why does it always have to have some sort of hidden meaning. Its like, right in front of you.
LOL is it just me or does like every say anything song have a comment that has to do with the recording industry.. i dislike it as much as the next guy but seriously, i'm sure max has other things running through his mind other than his intense hate for the main source of his income
awesome.
even better live.
sorry i feel i should elaborate. this is such a hateful, spiteful and vindictive song, but it's so fucking catchy, and they know it. post prudiction handclaps, the hooky guitar riffs, the chorus, all of it. it's a pop ode to hate and spite and selfishness. it's so good!
i love this song. it sounds like an anthem.
good song
