its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Tell me are you better?
Now you put your life on hold
I can't make it better
Cause this story's getting old
And you took the only part of me
And made it into misery
Now I'm left in the cold
While this story's getting old
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
Did you get a new me, or something not quite the same?
I know that it's been months, but I hope that this will sit in vain
And a million times I'm told that my story's getting old
But tell me are you better?
Now your new life starts to unfold
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
I know I sort of pushed you away
But even if I had enough time I doubt you would have stayed
You think you've seen this once and a match will lead away
But then he won't make it better on any note he plays
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
Now you put your life on hold
I can't make it better
Cause this story's getting old
And you took the only part of me
And made it into misery
Now I'm left in the cold
While this story's getting old
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
Did you get a new me, or something not quite the same?
I know that it's been months, but I hope that this will sit in vain
And a million times I'm told that my story's getting old
But tell me are you better?
Now your new life starts to unfold
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
I know I sort of pushed you away
But even if I had enough time I doubt you would have stayed
You think you've seen this once and a match will lead away
But then he won't make it better on any note he plays
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)
Though I'm done
(Done Repeat x15)
And even though I'm not sold
(Sold Repeat x15)
You're always laying low
(Low Repeat x15)
How could I let you go
(Go Repeat x15)

Corpse I Fell In Love With

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
"And you took the only part of me And made it into misery Now I'm left in the cold While this story's getting old"
this just seems like the person got what they wanted i.e sex/ego boost and you're left going 'huh?' and left wondering and wanting it to be like it used to be. a relationship, obviously.
