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.
We're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, it's about that time for us
To look around and meet somebody new
Let's all welcome in familiar faces, perhaps somebody who
Has got a conflict in their life, all right
Tell them you're sorry, but there's ways to change the wrong to right
See we can sit in a distant, haze and watch rain clouds
Pour thoughts of greatness and help our troubles sail real far away, yeah
Well, it's a struggle every day we're stressing
But what's a life without dedication?
Now I'm gonna pick up the souls intention
To soak in music relaxation
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In a moment I'll be on my way
To better days, while life is changing
And even though I've had my share of pain
I've been sympathizing and realizing
I've got a feeling that we could be a better friend
Simply complimenting every now and then
In the morning, I wake up and miss the night before
'Cause I love the music more and more
Yeah, we can sit in a distant, haze and watch rain clouds
Pour thoughts of greatness to help our troubles sail real far away, oh yeah
While it's a struggle every day we're stressing
But what's a life without dedication?
Now I'm trying to pick up the souls intention
To soak in music relaxation
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, it's about that time for us
To look around and meet somebody new
Let's all welcome in familiar faces, perhaps somebody who
Has got a conflict in their life, all right
Tell them you're sorry, but there's ways to change the wrong to right
See we can sit in a distant, haze and watch rain clouds
Pour thoughts of greatness and help our troubles sail real far away, yeah
Well, it's a struggle every day we're stressing
But what's a life without dedication?
Now I'm gonna pick up the souls intention
To soak in music relaxation
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

For me this is a very inspirational song. I had the chance to meet this band and see them live. It was great, these guys are very friendly and even invited me to come chill in there hotel room. The messages Rebelution Sing are beautiful. This particular song has helped me through a hard time.

this song is about weed. period. hahaha and i tooootally agree and would like to toke up and talk about it with the band someday lol
This song is about Isla Vista, California. The college beach town of UCSB where the group formed. Spending 4 years there myself watching them play at parties you know how well this captures the vibe of IV. They would often say that the Song is about IV before they played it.
