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.

Find your school: city state search
Oh look! Oh look! She's become a model now
Crash her wedding, she's wearing red shoes
but she hasn't a thing to wear
I'm a fighting man, but I've no hands
But if you like, I guess, I mean, I guess I could tie the boxing gloves on anyway
One boxing match in the church baby, a shotgun wedding
With boxing gloves instead of a shotgun, baby
Find your school: city state search
Oh look! Oh look! She's become a model now
Crash her wedding, she's wearing red shoes
but she hasn't a thing to wear
I'm a fighting man, but I've no hands
But if you like, I guess, I mean, I guess I could tie the boxing gloves on anyway
One boxing match in the church baby, a shotgun wedding
With boxing gloves instead of a shotgun, baby

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
It has to do about Fight Club, the same guy who wrote Invisible monsters
wow, thats a massive song title...I cant remember if the line is in Fight Club, but it does seem like a very Tyler Durden inspired quote.
I think it has something to do with invisible monsters again it has the 'Shotgun and wedding' theme of time to dance. I think it's about someone not being completley understood but still people are watching that person's every move. And you have to put force into boxing gloves, making it more personal insted of just pulling a trigger in cold blood.
what is this song from?
sory i didnt comment ealier. there lyrics that ryan has written for the new album. i dont even no if there is going to be a song. but theres lyrics...and there really good.
wow i love these lyrics. ryan is a great writter. he does seem to get alot of insperation from invisible monsters. can't wait for there next album
Im guessing this is from the new CD like the other one...
Cant waitt!
its really hard to understand with out music to go with it...hehe. im so excited. and i dont think it has much to do with invisible monsters...cause ive read invisible monsters.
well... it does seem to be another invisible monsters rip.
as for my opinion.... it's fucking lame. i'm tired of these imature children trying to wirte music about books. I love Panic! just as much as the next kid... but for god's sake..... they need to do a little better if they're gonna make it in the big kid's industry. garbage like this isn't ok.
as you are entitled to your own opinion you should consider that writing a song about a book as good as invible monsters is far from "garbage" writing a song about a book is more difficult because as you need to encorporate the emaning of the book you also need to encorporate your own meaning
ITS NOT ABOUT INVISIBLE MONSTERS! ive read invisible monsters...not even close. invisible monsters is about how everyone want the attention. NOT EVEN CLOSE! no one would have 2 records with the same inspiration, the same story. eh! got a problem? email me, k?
invisible mosters is about attention......very true, but it is also about how you need soul to meet body...this shows when her face gets shot of you cant have a model without a face.......its about how when your beauty is only skin deep you will be left with nothing.
