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.
(One hunnid Graham)
I just bought a 2005 like it's brand new (what)
Never made a flop, not a sandal, nah
I don't trust, so many lyin' like a dandel'
Precision with the way I pick my circle like a banjo
And where would I be
If I still counted on ya?
Right where I was
Now I could sneeze and drop a hundred thousand on you
One, two, yeah
Just a mix of the good days and the bad ones
Hope the good days outweigh the bad ones
Get your money right, let it rack up
If I go, 'least I know I meant somethin' to someone
Yeah, mm
You meant somethin' to someone too
Yeah, uh
'Cause you kiss like cotton candy
Don't wanna save you, you don't need no vigilante
Wanna do a little dancey-dance
You look good, you fancy-pants
You only a six on the Enneagram
Outside of that you a, you a, you a
Outside of that you a ten
Yeah, mm, mm
Yeah, outside of that you a ten
Yeah
I love the way that you pick your friends
You know what they mean, never means to an end
I know what I need, no need to pretend
Like the air I breathe's all you leavin' again
I don't know what that means
Show the world what it take to make it look this easy
Get everything I wish for, I got a big genie
They said "Are you extreme?", I said "Extremely"
Sorry, but it's my summer, get 'em next season
One, two, yeah
Just a mix of the good days and the bad ones
Hope the good days outweigh the bad ones
Get your money right, let it rack up
If I go, 'least I know I meant somethin' to someone
Yeah, mm
You meant somethin' to someone too
(Yeah, uh)
'Cause you kiss like cotton candy
Don't wanna save you, you don't need no vigilante
Wanna do a little dancey-dance
You look good, you fancy-pants
You only a six on the Enneagram
Outside of that you a, you a, you a
Outside of that you a ten
Yeah, mm, mm
Yeah, outside of that you a ten

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
