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 don't really want a close encounter
This dude's talkin' like he
Knows the bouncers
I move up on ya face for talkin' outta place
Get your spine ripped out
By Jedi Mind Tricks, ouch!
And ain't nobody gangsta, we just fight good
Left jab, uppercut, then a right hook
Jedi Mind spit rhymes like I write hooks
Type you don't wanna fight wit
Jedi Mind Tricks
Hey yo, great rap outta BC, the track
The beat beast master, heat clapper
Speakin' the facts
Keys to the 'Lac, weed in the back
Foot on the gas
Squeezin' the gat, leave it at that
My foot in yo' ass
Listen, bust your rat, you
Scream, Ruck is back, bitch
"You gonna fuck up your career
You hear?" Fuck the rap shit
I make the same money when
I hustle this crack shit
Probably make more cause a nigga
Don't pay no taxes
Access the gun's off the earth axis
Axis of evil
The eagle 'll leave your hat split
Ruck flow is like "Fuck you, God"
I don't wanna rhyme
I need a construction job
Listen, backpack rap, Jansporter crew
Big guns and fast cars, Transporter, too
I camcord your crew with a clip in they mouth
Sean Price, fuck you riffin' about?

Jedi Mind Tricks
I put you in the fuckin' torture rack
I carry forty gats and pure black
That send you and your spiritual to
Where the Lord is at
You read "Behold a Pale Horse"? Well
I authored that and on top of that
Vinnie the owner of a gorgeous gat
I don't trust nobody, cousin
I'm a cautious cat i see inside your eyes
It's where demonic forces at
Fuck around and get laced with the Luger
If you sympathize with the
Hellinization of Judah
My place is the future
Everybody say "The boy nice"
Philly to Brooklyn
Brooklyn to Philly with Sean Price
I'm not sayin' I'm the nicest around
I'm just sayin' I'm the nicest with
The knife and the pound
I'm strikin' you down
Pazienza always on the block
You the type to take a L
And fuckin' call the cops
Cross the other side of street
Because you saw it's hot
Call me Mike Fratello baby, cause
I call the shots, yeah, pussy
You don't really want a close encounter
This dude's talkin' like he
Knows the bouncers
I move up on ya face for talkin' outta place
Get your spine ripped out
By Jedi Mind Tricks, ouch!
And ain't nobody gangsta, we just fight good
Left jab, uppercut, then a right hook
Jedi Mind spit rhymes like I write hooks
Type you don't wanna fight wit
I'm comin' at you with various weapons
Hittin' your body in various sections
Even the mutha fuckin' devil was
There when I blessed him
Better selection of clappers then you
Jesus Price, Pazienza better rappers then you
I've had it with you
Every rhyme I write a testament
About the war and our apocalyptic president
About how I studied the science of raw
How I carry Desert Eagle's and
Defy it's a law my violence is pure
Walk the battlefield with stainlesses
They say I'm deranged
Disconnected and dangerous
My rap is sharp enough to slash
Your fuckin' veins and wrist
I'll put a knife into my heart
To see if pain exists
My forty cal' is fuckin' dyin' to bust
It could teach you how to bleed and
How to die in the dust
Yeah, I'm tryin' to organize
With people I identify
While Bush and Cheney sit
And celebrate a genocide, yeah
You don't really want a close encounter
This dude's talkin' like he
Knows the bouncers
I move up on ya face for talkin' outta place
Get your spine ripped out
By Jedi Mind Tricks, ouch!

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.

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
