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.
Sound of merlins fired up and their spoiling for the fight
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight
Deeper into Germany but we all know the score
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before
Now the flare gun fires and we get the go
Say goodbye to the earth below
Tonight on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
I have brought these engins to the very jaws of hell
Metal hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead
Now the searchlight blinding us with its light
Can’t shake this one off tonight
Tonight on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low
Tanks are blown to pieces
Soon the wing is gonna go
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive
I can't believe she's still in the sky
Me and my merlins fly
Tonight on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
On silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
I can touch the place of God.
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight
Deeper into Germany but we all know the score
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before
Now the flare gun fires and we get the go
Say goodbye to the earth below
Tonight on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
I have brought these engins to the very jaws of hell
Metal hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead
Now the searchlight blinding us with its light
Can’t shake this one off tonight
Tonight on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low
Tanks are blown to pieces
Soon the wing is gonna go
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive
I can't believe she's still in the sky
Me and my merlins fly
Tonight on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
On silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
On silver wings
I can touch the place of God.

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.
Magical

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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Obviously heavily inspired by High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr., an American pilot that volunteered to fly for the Canadians in WWII while the US was still neutral. He started composing that poem at around 30,000' while flying his spitfire aircraft. He died in a crash shortly after the US entered the war.
