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.
How should I say
That I never wanted anything to change
If I rearranged the pieces of
A broken down faith
Do you believe in me
Because I'm not sure
I believe in anything, anymore
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What should I do
I never thought anything would come true
The solution for the broken down abuse
I'm waiting for, waiting for
To let me fall on through
I'm getting closer to letting go, letting go of you
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
That I never wanted anything to change
If I rearranged the pieces of
A broken down faith
Do you believe in me
Because I'm not sure
I believe in anything, anymore
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What should I do
I never thought anything would come true
The solution for the broken down abuse
I'm waiting for, waiting for
To let me fall on through
I'm getting closer to letting go, letting go of you
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
What you don't know
Will only make this worse
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
Pick up the pieces and
Make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
We're losing all demand
I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster

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.

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I think this song is about the length of the lawsuit. they weren't even half way done when they decided to talk things over with victory.

this could be to the whole year 2007 going to waste because it was just time being spent on a lawsuit. Jt also probably thought people were forgetting about them since it was taking so long.
