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.

Trap-jaw tap (snap)
Raw rap track, leave your cracked maw jacked on the floor, take a nap
Black, white, red, said all over, got slapped with the newspaper-type
flavor (whap!)
To the back of the headline, needle teeters on the redline
No thread binds me to keeping decent bedtime
Double ended candle burner, grab a bit of fluid, turn it into a museum
Wanna see me make a being out of wax?
Breathe and relax
I'll drop it on the page, let me see if it'll freeze in its tracks
I need this, in fact if I quit, I'm a be dead
Sick of being neck-deep n scrubs like an aggravated pre-med
(Felix)
From jump been dedicated,
talking that rhyme junk
born out of records, boxes in car trunks
bred to rap, born to rock like Bruce Springsteen
Louder than Friday the 13th when the blonde screams
breathing harder, growing stronger
your girl oughta know, that we can last longer
It's like a condom when it gets broken
you either test yourself
or for the best shit you keep hopin'
keep holding heat
and as a matter of speech
this heat could make this to a scene from Normandy beach
that ain't to say that dope girls stay tannin'
its last man standin'
reckless abandon
battle cats spitting battle raps to shatter saps
ladder game playing
saying rhymes as laughable acts
unravel the raps and find some insight or a fuck you
wordplay so thick that a mack couldn't truck through
back, back, back, we go
Quarterback style backpedaling
champion like, always meddling
we always moving forward seeking out the dope shit
you act like a pilgrim for the weak shit your settling
novice or a veteran it's how you represent YOU
any way you do it, single or a crew
we always hit hard, got rhyme and reason
breaking new ground while you pray to break even.
what brain, heads full of trivial pursuit cards.
But alphabetizing and color-coding them is too hard
So just load'em up and throw'em as they come
'Til they blowing back the sun, never holding back the tongue
Like the perfect romantic moment during a slow dance
Or a bisexual oral festival with no hands
Oh man, programmed for jams
Grown too big for these britches, but she can keep it in those pants
Damn, I'm a be in trouble with that double bubble popping like a pair
of twins split a pack of Hubba-Bubba
Slither, wiggle, shimmy, glide, ride to the fly vibe
It's all right, giggle and jiggle them thighs
Kids with the gift have arrived to provide the soul stirring, no
slurring, closed current electric flow serving delectable technical
blows to nose, throat, and sternum
Encourage over the coal burning of slow vermin

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
