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.
This is the story about Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a little story to tell
About Mona Lisa and how she suddenly fell
See everyone knew her, they knew her oh so well
Now I am taking over to release her from her spell
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone
She was taken under drowning in her sea
Running like an angel, she was crying and could not see, oh no
Now see everyone's watching as she starts to fall
They want her to breakdown be a legend of her fall
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone
Ladies does that make you cry?
Mona Lisa's got to fly, nobody really dies
Everyone, may we have a moment of silence right here
God
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home, that she's home

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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"

Blue

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.
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.
She didnt sing it on tour- she wrote the song whilst jamming with her band in a soundcheck for the tour.
The song is almsot defineatly about her. And in its own way its autobiographical, and it basically conveys how she was this manipulated little...almost 'puppet' earlier, and it seems like she's shedding that skin and really being herself, its almost the 'death' of Britney and the 'birth' of Mona Lisa. 'Now i am taking voer to release her from her spell'- she's taking control of her life and career now.
And just a correction, the real lyrics are "she was taken under, drowning in her SEA" not seat!
This song is very different from the rest of her material. I think It's definitely about her and pretty damn accurate as well. I hope she get's her life sorted, no matter what anyone says she's got talent and she's gorgeous. People are just jumping on the bandwagon and trying to bring her down, so they'll look good. I mean the people that are saying stuff about her couldnt deal with what she deals with for a week and they're complaining about her. Its ridiculous.
Theres just somehting about this song that makes me love it.. I think it's the whole slightly talking/slightly singing thing that I love.
I wonder who the "Mona Lisa" really is?
Id I didn't know any better, I'd have to say that Britney is talking about herself.
Also, I heard she did this song while on her Onyx Hotel tour.
ahh what a disgrace to the painting...sigh :)
of course it's about her, but it's great, she's great, and this song is different and she's trying new styles and it's working every time
i love this song. i love britney
I love Britney but this song is wack
if i didnt know any better... its about britney and her sister jamie lynn.
