its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Sunset, behind a chain link fence
You put that tiny candle in my hand
You put that chrism on my forehead
With your fingers crossed
You held my wrists
And I'll never forget that pebble pushing up into my knee
You said the sky'd light up
You said the sky'd light up
And all the kids in the playground waiting for the light up
You said the sky's the sign
You said the sky's the sign
And I was watching the blue in your eyes turn fire
You said the sky'd light up
You said the sky'd light up
And I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I didn't like it
I was excited by it
What will I say when I get home?
I'm in the window, I'm at the door
Oooh, oooh, oooh
And (I, my) one the black top (lie, aie) and on the jungle gym (why, cry, I've got no piece of mind) and (I got no peace) on the four-square courts you gave me a fear of (I'm gonne blow your mind and) my skin, a desiring (I'm gonna blow your mind) to feel the sun rising in between my knees
Why try, feel my, I got no peace of mind
And I got no peace of mind
And I got no peace of mind
And all I can feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I'm 16, driving south from Baltimore
What will I say when I get home?
I'm in the window
I'm at the door
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
There's something on the ceiling
My feet aren't on the floor
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
My feet aren't on the floor
There's something on the ceiling
I didn't like it
I was excited by it
What will I say when I get home?
I'm in the window, I'm out the door
Sunset, behind a chain link fence
You put that tiny candle in my hand
You put that chrism on my forehead
With your fingers crossed
You held my wrists
And I'll never forget that pebble pushing up into my knee
You said the sky'd light up
You said the sky'd light up
And all the kids in the playground waiting for the light up
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
Do you fear for your child?
This will stay with me until I die!
And all the kids (boys) in the four-square courts
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I hated (wanted) them then them more!
A loneliness no fag could comprehend
You put that tiny candle in my hand
You put that chrism on my forehead
With your fingers crossed
You held my wrists
And I'll never forget that pebble pushing up into my knee
You said the sky'd light up
You said the sky'd light up
And all the kids in the playground waiting for the light up
You said the sky's the sign
You said the sky's the sign
And I was watching the blue in your eyes turn fire
You said the sky'd light up
You said the sky'd light up
And I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I didn't like it
I was excited by it
What will I say when I get home?
I'm in the window, I'm at the door
Oooh, oooh, oooh
And (I, my) one the black top (lie, aie) and on the jungle gym (why, cry, I've got no piece of mind) and (I got no peace) on the four-square courts you gave me a fear of (I'm gonne blow your mind and) my skin, a desiring (I'm gonna blow your mind) to feel the sun rising in between my knees
Why try, feel my, I got no peace of mind
And I got no peace of mind
And I got no peace of mind
And all I can feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I'm 16, driving south from Baltimore
What will I say when I get home?
I'm in the window
I'm at the door
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore

All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Of course it doesn't change that fact, Skammunist. No one said it's a bad song because of its topic. It's not like it's offensive.
