High life
The lights in your room keep on blinking off.
And I'm on my back, on your floor.
Tell me how you fooled the world again,
I like how you laugh when you tell it.
Play dead, cause I'll be playing dead with you.
I'll play you when you're dead in a year or two.
Can you please point me to your chemicals?
I need to feel like I've got rocks in my eyelids.
The only superhero I've ever known was you, about 5 years ago.
It was you about 5 years ago.
The lights outside turn into knives on me and I forget how to get home.
It only feels like it's the summer now,
cause everyone's always wearing the wrong clothes.
Play dead, cause I'll be playing dead with you.
I'll play you when you're dead in a year or two.
Can you please point me to your chemicals?
I need to feel like I've got rocks in my eyelids.
The only superhero I've ever known was you, about 5 years ago.
It was you about 5 years ago.
I can picture your coffin in the hallway;
And your family standing inside the doorway.
They'll point all their fingers at me and say,
‘Where are your drugs? Today we need them.
Where are your drugs? We need an escape.'

Fortnight
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.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I get the admiration of an older best friend or friend figure feeling. The person Ben (or the main individual in the song) refers to obviously was addicted to doing drugs and is now in bad shape and/or on their to dying. The simple sentence, "I'll play you when you're dead in a year or two" signifies this and also sheds light on the fact that the individual is following the same path. Truly an incredible song/ Definitely stuck out to me the most, but that is basically because this has somewhat happened to me.
