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.
Crush us. Over and over again the years have come to this an improper art form.
Faking our own thoughts and sounds robots crush death of human-music.
Bright lights fill the sky track us through our fields of money
The old days seem shit and primitive abduction control you write for me. Oh, master
Master of the machines take this shit and make it gold.
Make my face sparkle with fame master of the machines
Fuck them hard and neglect their thoughts they will never see us coming
No more human voice no more duman actions imperfect fucks stand in the dark.
Crush us. Over and over again the years have come to this an improper art form.
Faking our own thoughts and sounds robots crush death of human-music.
Counteract this idea of control human emotion can only produce
The thoughtful finally discovering the idea of perfect harmony
This is the day we finally make beautiful notes again
But will we ever realize a situation so far dead make this a war
Blood fills the sky drop the deadly dive-bomb the end of this outside life.
We will find art again.
Faking our own thoughts and sounds robots crush death of human-music.
Bright lights fill the sky track us through our fields of money
The old days seem shit and primitive abduction control you write for me. Oh, master
Master of the machines take this shit and make it gold.
Make my face sparkle with fame master of the machines
Fuck them hard and neglect their thoughts they will never see us coming
No more human voice no more duman actions imperfect fucks stand in the dark.
Crush us. Over and over again the years have come to this an improper art form.
Faking our own thoughts and sounds robots crush death of human-music.
Counteract this idea of control human emotion can only produce
The thoughtful finally discovering the idea of perfect harmony
This is the day we finally make beautiful notes again
But will we ever realize a situation so far dead make this a war
Blood fills the sky drop the deadly dive-bomb the end of this outside life.
We will find art again.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Those three words made me LMAO. You made my day.
..seems to be about how the process of making music is being taken over by machines...
I love the loud scream at the beginning, especially straight after listening to the slow, soothing instrumental Breath In, Breathe Out...
But yeah, for the meaning I think it's about man made machines/robots basically taking over the human species.
I take this in two ways:
1) It could be just in his fanatical mind that there is someone greater than him forcing him to write this, and it's not what he is really feeling, but it's powerful.
2) I'm assuming he wrote this song after they signed to Victory Records, who are renowned for their forcefulness and focus on sales rather than the music (especially due to their recent controversey). Possibly, VR was pressuring BTBAM to write about certain things, etc. and they decided to write a song about the mainstream and popular labels and how it basically turns the songwriters into little robots/computers, writing whatever is put into them. Or something to that extent.
I think you understand what I mean.
I think your second choice is a lot closer Jaden.
I think another reason is that every mainstream bands sounds exactly like eachother and are doing the same exact style, making them robots.
Also, how voices have been changed so much so a good looking person that sings like crap can be made tolerable.
have you ever notice how unique the rythm is in there music, they are no slave to patterns.
most mainstream band and fucking rap and pop is mostly generated by machine, by producers they create shit but their dumb ass fans take it as gold.
Damn straight Archsoul is god. thats exactly what i was going to put.
But i think Roboturner is about music haha or at least robots takin over the world.
Mmm, I think they are saying we are turning into a society of brutality loving robots, but that art will rise again alongside the deeper parts of what it means to be human.
But at the same time the music hypothesis is a really really good one.
the two hypotheses could be correct - i.e. the robotic humanity manifesting itself in music.
Crush us over and over again...
