Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
The gate is closed, the sky is burning
Dark clouds are closing in
A world at war, no revelation could've
Predicted the mankind's fall
Somewhere above - beyond the lunar skies
We'll be resurrected -Ah!
What have we done - we paid the highest price
No shelter for the undeserving masses
Standing in line for our final journey
Into space and beyond
A final sigh, a breath of hope we gotta
Heed the terminal call
Counting the stars - we pulled the shortest straw
Life is fading rapidly - Ah!
Nothing remains - A withered devil's claw
Sole surrvivors picking up the pieces
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Solo: Stefan
So this is the new beginning
So far away, so far away
Solo:Oscar
We leave our past behind us
No turning back, no turning back
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Oh, oh?
We will fly
Oh,oh?
We're flying into space
Oh, oh?
Fly, fly away
Oh, oh?
We're flying into space
Dark clouds are closing in
A world at war, no revelation could've
Predicted the mankind's fall
Somewhere above - beyond the lunar skies
We'll be resurrected -Ah!
What have we done - we paid the highest price
No shelter for the undeserving masses
Standing in line for our final journey
Into space and beyond
A final sigh, a breath of hope we gotta
Heed the terminal call
Counting the stars - we pulled the shortest straw
Life is fading rapidly - Ah!
Nothing remains - A withered devil's claw
Sole surrvivors picking up the pieces
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Solo: Stefan
So this is the new beginning
So far away, so far away
Solo:Oscar
We leave our past behind us
No turning back, no turning back
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Oh, oh?
We will fly
Oh,oh?
We're flying into space
Oh, oh?
Fly, fly away
Oh, oh?
We're flying into space

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.

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 is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

My interpretation is that it's about Earth getting demolished by a world war and nobody expecting that. Those who survived are running away to a different planet - "Shining bright so far beyond the sun" and "We're flying into space".
