Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possessions
But all I call mine
I will give her completely
'Til the end of all time
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
In her eyes I see the sky
And all I'll ever need
In her eyes time passes by
And she is with me
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
In her eyes, I am
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possessions
But all I call mine
I will give her completely
'Til the end of all time
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
In her eyes I see the sky
And all I'll ever need
In her eyes time passes by
And she is with me
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
A man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes, I am
In her eyes, I am

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I think this song is so amazing. I think it's about how you may be just ordinary but someone else sees you as extraordinary. Kind of like that quote "You may only be one person in the world, but you may be the world to one person."
I think he's saying that he's just a regular guy, but she believes in him and gives him so much strength and just loves him so much for who he is. And how he loves her back for loving him.
This song is so beautiful. it's just so raw, and real to me.
I am not a hero I am not an angel I am just a man A man who's trying to love her Unlike any other
This part is so beautiful, and real, and I love it so much.
This reminds me of the impression that I got from the relationship that I perceived between my uncle and his (now departed) wife. I don't think that he ever understood what she saw in him, but he knew that he became a better person because of her.
This song is kind-of the other side of his song "You're Still You" ..."In Her Eyes" is about somebody who is seen as a hero in another's eyes, and who does not want to disappoint that person.
I have a question: does anybody know what time signature the song was written in? I was thinking 5/4 or 10/8? it is a strange time signature..
Yes, it is in 5:4 time. It took me two full listens before I could figure out the beat. It was driving me nuts, but when I got it, it made the song even more enjoyable.
what does it mean to me? I think it's about a dad and his daughter. every dad is his daughters hero :-) "only she stills my heart... she's my inspiration, she's my morning star." god it made me cry.
i totally love this song my best friend was dating this girl and he was really down cuz he thought she didn't like him and i was so used to hearing her go on and on "ben this ben that, this reminds me of ben" but i couldnt explain it to him so i showed him this song and it totally cheered him up. there not together anymore but this song is still important to us both and it's one of the sweetest songs ever because 'in her eyes' any man can be a hero
