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.
Newsman says we have 2 years to live
Living to die
Fractured earth can’t sustain humanity
Waiting to die the god is broke and stuck on catastrophe
Waiting to die
World leaders plead, there’s nothing we can do, extinction has began
Anthrocide
People laughed, others cried, some confused
Anthrocide
Chaos erupts, thieves control the meek
Under marshal law
Anthrocide
In a panic surge
No where else to go
From terminal death
Anthrocide
Disbelief breed defeat, featuring the afterlife
Living to die
From this cruel joke
Who can survive
Waiting to die
Cling to the faith lord will right it
Living to die
Living day to day
To make it go away
Minds in disarray
Anthrocide
We came so far
And gone to fast
Much more to achieve
Anthrocide
Ruined dreams
How could it last
We were so naïve
Anthrocide
At life’s end
In a few days, with little time to pray
Although we thought we could last forever
Repressing this planet like we owned it all
Exploring and abusing it for gain
Now there’s nothing we can do to restore it
Now we’ll feel natures wrath
The sun is dead
It turns black
Volcanic thrust
Buried in ash
Scorching hell
We self combust
Tsunami waves and lava streams
Watery graves
Poisoned steam
Mega quakes were our fate
It’s our curse
We can’t escape
Sulfuric fumes infringe our lungs
Mass calamity
Overshadowing atrocities of our past
Mistakes of a deity
We all must pay
Stratagem apocalypse
Some may survive
Those who do will mutate
Is what I surmise
Returning to our primitive ways
Aftermath of genocide
No computer industry or mercy, destiny
Zenith of society
Came to an end abruptly
Victims to our own device
Our children’s future is sacrificed
The final hours are spent in Lachrymal Jubilee
Living to die
Recording discs for the future life to see
Waiting to die
The air is gone families embrace
Take our final breath

@[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.
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
Vicissium means alternation, I still have no idea, what this song means
