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.
Look around at all the things I do
Yeah it's all for you
You didn't like the color of my world
So you dyed it all in blue
Masculine
Masculine
Girl, you know no man could be a man like you
You hold me close and tell me how you need more room
It's a funny thing
How you gonna save me like you said
When you're so confused?
Yeah you know that you're precious
It's the weapon that you use
Masculine
Masculine
Now you're needing something fresh 'cause I'm all used
Too much is not enough for this wild flower to bloom
It's so funny, it's so funny that you never seem to laugh
It's so funny, it's so funny that you never seem to laugh
It's such a funny thing
...well...my baby...there's no reason to cry...
Open the door to my mind now
You're going to find out
What you never could
I didn't think that I'd let go
But I think you should know
I got nothing to hold
You thought you'd come in and save me
Well guess again baby
Complacence so cruel
It's not the way that you feed me
It's the way that you're bleeding
All over my soul
With all the things that you tell me
I don't even know me
So where did I go?
I'll blow a kiss and a wave and
Be out of your way with
The one thing I got
I got a bit of your life oh yeah
I got a bit of your life all mine
I got a bit of your life
I got a bit of your life
I got a bit of your life
I got a bit of your life
I got a bit of your life
I got a bit of your life
I got a bit of your life...goodbye
Yeah it's all for you
You didn't like the color of my world
So you dyed it all in blue
Masculine

Girl, you know no man could be a man like you
You hold me close and tell me how you need more room

How you gonna save me like you said

It's the weapon that you use
Masculine

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
