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.
That day you said you sent a letter to me, never got it anyway,
Playing that guilt trip game, some are won't to do.
Now I lie awake with tequila sunrise,
Feeling like shit surprise surprise by your lack of impiety.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling,
There's never been a dream a wet dream left me for him.
There's something plastic surgery about this thing called a CD,
Something status quo 'bout a rolled up one pound note.
There's something your big false teeth do say, you never brushed them anyway.
There's something credit note bout the age that you can vote.
That day you said you sent a letter to me,
I think I got it but I threw it away.
Something squeaky clean, oh it makes me.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling.
There's never been a dream, more than a dream left me for him.
Playing that guilt trip game, some are won't to do.
Now I lie awake with tequila sunrise,
Feeling like shit surprise surprise by your lack of impiety.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling,
There's never been a dream a wet dream left me for him.
There's something plastic surgery about this thing called a CD,
Something status quo 'bout a rolled up one pound note.
There's something your big false teeth do say, you never brushed them anyway.
There's something credit note bout the age that you can vote.
That day you said you sent a letter to me,
I think I got it but I threw it away.
Something squeaky clean, oh it makes me.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
There's really never been a daydream that didn't leave me smiling.
There's never been a dream, more than a dream left me for him.

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This has to be my all time favorite song from leatherface, completely random lyrics! I actually got some of the lyrics from this song tattoed on me. I hope leatherface continues to make great music.
This is probably my favorite song on the album.
