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.
Cool, Calm, Collective
My Perspective
Is To Analyze Every Situation Prepare To Die
Put My Mind In Isolation
I Be Facing Nightmares
Fraid Cause The Dead
Yo They Sayin That I'm Right There
Tried To Wake, But I Can't See Where I'm At
Finally Wake Then I'm Relaxing On A Dime Sack
The Crimes I Did Way Back
Is In My Mind Played Back
Over And Over
That's The Reason That I'm Never Sober
Twenty Two The Skinny, Broke Mummy Man
It's All Good Now A Days I Got Money Plans
The Time That I'm Wastin Up In This Occupation
Got Me Tokin Bones In My Crib, Steady Pacing
Look For My Homies, But They Already Gettin High
Caught In The Struggle
Maintain Tryin To Get By
Read To Die When It Happens Recognize I Told Ya
Go All Out, Even If You're Coma Soldiers
I Wake Up And Sleep With A L
Write Rhymes With A L
But Never Take A L
So Let My Mind Start To Elevate Shit
Portions Of The Divorce Shit
Got The Playas Always Screamin Forfeit

No Retreat, No Surrender
My Minds Caught Up In This Blender
Don't Fit Contenders
Them The Great As Pretenders
Dear Momma
Then They Build This Determination
Cause Your My Latest, My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration
Some Try To Decease The Kid
You Got The Pie, But I Only Want A Piece Of It
Teach The Kid
I Learned My Lessons In The School Yard
And Never Walked Around Thinkin That I'm Too Hard
It's Too Hard To Just Chill
And Keep My Game Strong
If It's On, Then It's On
Nigga Bring It On
Whatever Happened, It Just Happened
Yo The End Of That
If I Survive Then I'm Lying On The Chunky Black
Think Of My Momma Tired After Workin Hard
There's A Lot Of Shit That Force Me Not To Worship God
The Creator, The Creator Of All My Fellows
Main Thing, The Creator Of All These Ghettos
Let Go, My Minds Twiztid Like Keith
No Disbelief, I Got My Eyes Open On The Streets
Where's The Beef?
Yo I'm Coming As The Butcher
Yo I Shook Ya
You're On The Shelf Is Where I Put Ya

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
