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.
wrong way, loose turn
is this a game that you play
with your enemy?
momma, i killed her
it's in her face that i see
and her figure haunts me
i want you, dead
i need you, dead
i wish for days
for the telephone
to sing a song to me
at my worst i'll play
here in the garden to see
all your blood over me
i want you, dead
i need you, dead
don't change your heart
cuz baby you've got me
here with the last word
to fall out your mouth
i did what was told
but if i could just take it back
you know i would
nah, nah, nah, nah
nah, nah, nah, nah
nah, nah, nah, nah
nah, nah, nah, nah
i'm the soft of your cheeks
here in the cold of your lies
sweet phermaldahyde
god give me turn
with all my love that i give
for her eyes to hold
don't change your heart
cuz baby you've got me
here with the last word
to fall out your mouth
i did what was told
but if i could just take it back
you know i would
nah, nah, nah, no
cuz baby you've got me
nah, nah, nah, no
cuz baby you've got me
nah, nah, nah, no
cuz baby you've got me
nah, nah, nah, no

@[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/
Where do you find this song? i've never heard of it before.
It's a PRIZE FIGHTER INFERNO song
This song is part of an acoustic demo for IKSOSE:3. I found it through a friend, you may be able to find it on morpheus or limewire, I'm not sure.
i think you're thinking "blood red summer".<br /> and there aren't any acoustic demos in IKSOSE:3, right?<br /> so.....erm...yeah...........
Actually, Al the Killer has an acoustic version. I found it recently on Youtube.
This song is a PRFI song. It did not appear on IKSOSE:3
Its Cluadios side project The Prize Fighter Inferno and his album is called My Brothers Blood Machine which is coming out sometime this year.Hes writting the story on Jesse aka Prize Fighter Inferno hence the name.
The story in TPFI is Jesse gets resurected back on present-day Earth and tells the story but first he tells more background than will be in The Bag.On.Line.Adventures/The Armory Wars
well maidenfan13 probably got it wrong... the chorus for the song IKSSE:3, it says this, "The pioneers, in dealing with it, they march for dawn, of Will and worthy. The truth be told the child was born. Man your own jackhammer. Man your battle stations. We'll have you dead pretty soon. And now, sincerely written from my brother's blood machine. Man your battle stations. We'll have you home pretty soon. And now."
note: brother's blood machine.
so that's probably just a misunderstanding on his or her part.
I love this song!
wow. dude, this is a good song, but is kind of mysterious. I know that it basically means that the person (Cecilia; main character) is suffering but her boyfriend, Johnny is saying that he loved her but must give himself up to the blood machine. It's not ON the album, but appears between tracks two and three (The Fight & Our Darling Daughter)
Alright, first of all it's spelled formaldehyde, not phermaldahyde. Secondly, it's not Coheed and Cambria, although that is Claudio Sanchez's voice, it's the aforementioned singer's side project, The Prize Fighter Inferno. Finally, this song is sweet and does indeed rock your balls.
