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.
I’m guilty when your with me am I just concerned that ill get caught?
I’d do what you want me to but then I’d be a different sort.
I’m never guna change im proud to say im never going to change,
I might not like me sometimes but man I lived some unforgettable days.
And you only live once,
And if you die then you die,
And its all about the fun,
And if I die then I die.
I’m saying this to help you out get off my back and spread your wings,
Forget my love its not enough for you to know what this world brings.
I’m never guna change im proud to say im never going to change,
I might of done some stupid things but man I lived some unforgettable days.
And you only live once,
And if you die then you die,
And its all about the fun,
And if I die then I die.
No holds barred,
Don’t put your love on me,
No holds barred,
Don’t put no love on me,
Ill only let you down.
I’m finding all this hard to bear cos if I’m honest I do care,
But freeze your heart before you start to come too close into my world,
I’m never guna change I’m proud to say I’m never going to change,
I might of hurt a lot of things but man I’ve lived some unforgettable days.
And you only live once,
And if you die then you die,
And its all about the fun,
And if I die then I die.
No holds barred,
Don’t put your love on me,
No holds barred,
Don’t put no love on me,
Ill only let you down.
I’d do what you want me to but then I’d be a different sort.
I’m never guna change im proud to say im never going to change,
I might not like me sometimes but man I lived some unforgettable days.
And you only live once,
And if you die then you die,
And its all about the fun,
And if I die then I die.
I’m saying this to help you out get off my back and spread your wings,
Forget my love its not enough for you to know what this world brings.
I’m never guna change im proud to say im never going to change,
I might of done some stupid things but man I lived some unforgettable days.
And you only live once,
And if you die then you die,
And its all about the fun,
And if I die then I die.
No holds barred,
Don’t put your love on me,
No holds barred,
Don’t put no love on me,
Ill only let you down.
I’m finding all this hard to bear cos if I’m honest I do care,
But freeze your heart before you start to come too close into my world,
I’m never guna change I’m proud to say I’m never going to change,
I might of hurt a lot of things but man I’ve lived some unforgettable days.
And you only live once,
And if you die then you die,
And its all about the fun,
And if I die then I die.
No holds barred,
Don’t put your love on me,
No holds barred,
Don’t put no love on me,
Ill only let you down.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
