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.
Your only daughter's turning tricks cause she's jonesin' for a fix
She just blew your mechanic, that's when you will lose, your wife's
Overdose was a success, humiliation was too great
Now with your estate foreclosed, you will surely lose your head
Was in a bad place when you punched your supervisor in the throat
An inadvertent fatal blow, were the words your lawyer used
On the unsympathetic judge, who was having a bad day
So he threw your life away, is faith still comforting you?
I know the answer, still I ask, where is your god now?
You thought it was the Christian thing to do, breaking up that fight at school
'Til the gun came into play, and the sight was set on you
Running was ironic cause it was the last time you would
You wish the kids you tried to help wouldn't laugh when he saw you
Are the invisible man, no one looks you in the eye
You've become an anecdote, the wrong place at the wrong time
The worst case scenario, the proverbial "that guy"
You never did question your faith, you flushed it with your first piss bag
That's why I have to ask, where is your god now?
She just blew your mechanic, that's when you will lose, your wife's
Overdose was a success, humiliation was too great
Now with your estate foreclosed, you will surely lose your head
Was in a bad place when you punched your supervisor in the throat
An inadvertent fatal blow, were the words your lawyer used
On the unsympathetic judge, who was having a bad day
So he threw your life away, is faith still comforting you?
I know the answer, still I ask, where is your god now?
You thought it was the Christian thing to do, breaking up that fight at school
'Til the gun came into play, and the sight was set on you
Running was ironic cause it was the last time you would
You wish the kids you tried to help wouldn't laugh when he saw you
Are the invisible man, no one looks you in the eye
You've become an anecdote, the wrong place at the wrong time
The worst case scenario, the proverbial "that guy"
You never did question your faith, you flushed it with your first piss bag
That's why I have to ask, where is your god now?

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”

@[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."
JeffKaos71 - Basically, what they're trying to get at is.. if you're an entirely good person, why would god punish you? The common Christian response to this is that "God tests us." Well these worst case scenarios are like, why the FUCK would "God" punish someone that seemingly hasn't done anything wrong. In this situation, strongly religious people tend to look to God even more for help/answers... From a logical point of view, it's totally insane to put so much faith in a god that would do that to you.
Song is self explanitory.
I'm agnostic, but I'd think If your gonna have faith in God you have to understand he gives man free will. He doesn't interfere in our lives so I don't understand people who lose faith when something bad happens.
the first lines are wrong i think, it starts out with
"your younger daughter's on the pipe(?) robbed you and your mother blind on an internet site, she blew your mechanic"
This is the version from 7" of the month. The version you're thinking of is from wolves in wolves clothing. Both versions are great. This version is acoustic and the vocals get a little crude. I personally like the lyrics in this one better. Mostly the same though.
JohnnyFender, youre right, but the lyrics posted are the acoustic version, which is not on the Wolves in Wolves Clothing CD
Someone told me that this song on wolves, stole its riff or something other from you're bleeding. Of course, I've never heard you're bleeding, so could anyone fill me in? Obvius song though but I love it.
yeah this song is awesome, but to answer your question modernman, your friend is a stupid douchebag and he's wrong. they're somewhat similar, but not realy. youre bleeding starts off with the notes A G# G G, and this song starts of doing A G# G F#. plus the chord progressions under each one are different too. SUCKA CHRISTIANS
well its obviously about how people lose faith so easily when bad things happen to them but is it making fun of that or asking how they can just turn on a faith so easily?
So obvious! To me it has pretty much been described already, with others talking about exactly what the lyrics say, WHERE is your god now? When you're having this horrible time, where is your god? And when that snowballs even more and you get an even worse situation, WHERE is your god? Some people put so much faith into a god/savior and people like 'a judge having a bad day' are the true deciders of a lot of peoples fate.
knocks youre and idiot. this song is about how people can still hold onto their god after all this stuff happens to them and they keep on waiting for their so called saviour
