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.
So you heard I crossed over the line
Do I have regrets?
Well, not yet
There are some, some who give blood
I give love
I give
Soon, before the sun
Before the sun begins to rise
I know that I, I must give
So that I, I can live
There are some, some whose "give"
Twists itself to take their mistake
Who, what? what made up the line?
Some say it was pain
Or was it shame?
Soon, before the sun
Before the sun begins to rise
I know that I, I must give
So that I I, I can live
Some, some who give blood
I give love, I give
Soon before the sun
Before the sun begins to rise
I know that I, I must give
So that I, I can live
Do I have regrets?
Well, not yet
There are some, some who give blood
I give love
I give
Soon, before the sun
Before the sun begins to rise
I know that I, I must give
So that I, I can live
There are some, some whose "give"
Twists itself to take their mistake
Who, what? what made up the line?
Some say it was pain
Or was it shame?
Soon, before the sun
Before the sun begins to rise
I know that I, I must give
So that I I, I can live
Some, some who give blood
I give love, I give
Soon before the sun
Before the sun begins to rise
I know that I, I must give
So that I, I can live

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“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.
Sounds like it's about prostitution to me. Or vampirism.
Initially it's ambiguous wether it's about sex or vampirism. "Crossed over the line" could certainly refer to the line between life and death and the references to giving and taking blood "There are some who give blood ... some whose give twists iteslf to take" suggest vampirism, as of course does "before the sun begins to rise".<br /> But overall I would say it's about sex. The words "I give love" don't really fit into a vampire context, but rather suggest a woman who gives sex. In this sense "crossed over the line" refers to a moral line, behaviour that some would consider immoral. Tori says "What made up the line? ... was it shame?" which again fits into the theme of sex with somebody she's not married to. She says "I must give" not "I want to give" suggesting that this is a compulsion, a sex addiction. She doesn't want to take anything in return, probably having been disappointed too many times she is emotionally cut off from the sex act, so now she sees herself as a sex donor, the same way some people donate blood. I don't think it's about sex for money.
I figured it was about prostitution. I was joking about the vampirism. <br /> <br /> Though, if you wanted to argue about the "I give love," you could simply think of it in terms of how a human would service a vampire. Both by bloodletting and sexually. <br /> <br /> The great things about songs is how everyone can interpret them to whatever they like.
