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.
You were a song that I couldn't sing
You were a story I couldn't tell
I've only ever loved myself
But I've loved myself so well.
And how defeated I return!
(you're nice and blue, you're nice and blue)
I missed what I was supposed to learn
As all I learned about was missing you.
A life left half ehind, though no longer
Blind I can't yet see. I'm not the boy that
I once was, but I'm not the man I'll be.
I've been waiting now, for six years on
(and have only just begun)
For the day you'll hold her in your arms,
Oh risen Lord, my precious one.
I was once the wine, and you the wineglass.
I was once alive, when you held me.
God became the glass,
All things left were emptiness
Oh, my little girl, if you look out
And see a trace of dark red that used
To be my face, in the clarity of his
Grace: remember me.
You were a story I couldn't tell
I've only ever loved myself
But I've loved myself so well.
And how defeated I return!
(you're nice and blue, you're nice and blue)
I missed what I was supposed to learn
As all I learned about was missing you.
A life left half ehind, though no longer
Blind I can't yet see. I'm not the boy that
I once was, but I'm not the man I'll be.
I've been waiting now, for six years on
(and have only just begun)
For the day you'll hold her in your arms,
Oh risen Lord, my precious one.
I was once the wine, and you the wineglass.
I was once alive, when you held me.
God became the glass,
All things left were emptiness
Oh, my little girl, if you look out
And see a trace of dark red that used
To be my face, in the clarity of his
Grace: remember me.

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
wow thanks for posting these lyrics. this song is amazing. not entirely sure what its about. but i like this line...it gives me the image of someone being lukewarm in their faith.
"Then I saw a mountain And I saw a city Steadily, safely, suspiciously calm It wasn't an end, it was no beginning But ceaseless stumbling on"
brother, sister is going to win me.
Amazing song.
I love how the band makes sequels to their songs because their viewpoints change over time.
"Remember me" - pt 1 "Forget all about me" - pt 2
Alright, I really love this new song, I like how it brings Part 1 full circle as the person above me stated.
There's no way I got all these lyrics completely correct, they were quite difficult to decifer at times, so any suggestions and corrections would be appreciated. Of course when the album comes out I'll come make them correct. They are quite amazing even as is though, I love the stanzas with the bear and the horse race. Amazing song.
I have a feeling that this band might become the next Nirvana with the release of "Brother, Sister".
Uselessly mocked*, not blind.
Wait, no. I think he sings "Seducting the soul, But useless to mind."
I think that would make more sense.
Seuctive to soul*
Haha, sorry, I'm making too many corrections.
Yeah that sounds good and makes sense now, I was about to say Suducting is not a word, but I definatly hear the T sound so suductive to soul makes sense. Thanks.
Also the number he says, is it possible that he is reffering to a verse in the bible that also corresponds to a horses odds? Is there a verse that would relate to this song that is 17:1?? One that has to do with faith.
I was starting to think that it might have been a score of a race or something of that sort. But yeah, i'm positive that I've heard 17. So, you're probably right. It makes sense.
