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.
Welcome to a world
Of eternal shame
Where everything you do is judged by a stupid
(fuck-up)
and you're expecting a reason why
But get in line punk
(Cause I've been waiting too)
How long
does it take to get an answer
to fucking questions
I always wanted
To let you know
I don't give a shit
(Why don't you suck this...)
Mouth runnin like a coke nose
Whose dick did you have to suck
to get the manual for (this world)
and now i start to see you got that look again
And i know you like solving problems
(so riddle me this you dumb fuck)
How many licks
does it take
to get to the center
of this tootsie cock
I got a number for ya
(Two, three, crick)
How long
does it take to get an answer
to fucking questions
I always wanted
To let you know
I don't give a shit
(Lick around the rim bitch)
How long
does it take to get an answer
to fucking questions
I always wanted
To let you know
I don't give a shit
(You suck a real good dick)
(two, three, tock)
How long
does it take to get an answer
to fucking questions
I always wanted
To let you know
I don't give a shit
(That your fucking box stinks)
How long
does it take to get an answer
to fucking questions
I always wanted
To let you know
I don't give a shit
Suck this dick
Of eternal shame
Where everything you do is judged by a stupid
(fuck-up)
and you're expecting a reason why
But get in line punk
(Cause I've been waiting too)
How long
does it take to get an answer
to fucking questions
I always wanted
To let you know
I don't give a shit
(Why don't you suck this...)
Mouth runnin like a coke nose
Whose dick did you have to suck
to get the manual for (this world)
and now i start to see you got that look again
And i know you like solving problems
(so riddle me this you dumb fuck)
How many licks
does it take
to get to the center
of this tootsie cock
I got a number for ya
(Two, three, crick)
How long
does it take to get an answer

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this is a bonus song off of Alpha only from Target.
the video is cool. they are just kinda chillin and shit.
After the "you suck a real good dick" part i think morgan says "two, three, fuck"
I think the line in the beginning (Cause I've been waiting to) should actually read (Cause I've been waiting too).
Like, "I've been waiting too" as in "also"
GOSH, ITS ABOUT NOT LIKING SOMEONE, AND HOW THAT SOMEONE CAN LICK THE RIM, OF MY ASSHOLE. OR YOUR, OR HIS. WHOEVER. THE RIM OF MY ASSHOLE
This song kicks ass!!!! So fucking funny!!! I think it is obvious that is about asking your sex buddy to do something not that conventional :) And also feeling inhibited because someone may say you are sick or a pervert for wanting to try something not so ordinary. Once you ask you are part of that "world of eternal shame" but remember you are being judged by a stupid fuck up/ fucker? so try whatever you believe you might enjoy, no holding backs!! May be i looked too deep into it... whatever :)
alright folks im gonna need some help with this one. if you know what some of the missing lines are, let me know so i can fix it.
Huh? Where's this song from? I never heard of it.
I took a stab at filling in some blanks:
Welcome to a world of eternal shame Where everything you do is judged by a stupid (fucker) and no respect and no reason why But get in line, punk (Cause I've been waiting to)
How long does it take to get an answer to fucking questions I always wanted To let you know I don't give a shit (Why don't you suck this...)

Okay, while this song totally kicks ass musically, it is one of the weakest efforts, lyrically speaking, in Sevendust's entire catalog. Sure, the guys have written some not-so-deep stuff before, but this is God-awful.
Nevertheless, the video for this song on the enhanced portion of the Alpha CD is hilarious to watch. Also, it's not only available at Target...you can get it on Amazon.com, but it'll cost you upwards of $20.
