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.
I'm the demon, you can trust me
I'm the demon, as you can see
I'm the demon, for you are free
You'll be safe if you listen to me
Just a taste is all you need
You'll feel better with help from me
Hungry for your brain to ease
If you don't take it you go crazy
You're a man can do what you want
no one tells you to do or don't
The demon is here when you're feeling weak
Take some of this, listen when i speak
Take this stuff, it'll fix your life
You'll love it more than your wife
You give up, and you'll be ruled
You'll be one of the devil's fools
Just try a little, you can help yourself
To feel no pain equals all the wealth
Take some more cause it's almost time
One more shot and your soul is mine
See the world through black glasses
Watch my life as it passes
Through the city to the gates of hall
The demons there all will know me well
In the pain of my nightmare
Just give me more cause I don't care
Take me deeper, take me down
Demons wait for you underground
Walk with demons beneath your feet
You have things you must take, and dealers to meet
You can't control the spin, not by the shape that you're in
How could you tell you would wake up in hell
I'm the demon, as you can see
I'm the demon, for you are free
You'll be safe if you listen to me
Just a taste is all you need
You'll feel better with help from me
Hungry for your brain to ease
If you don't take it you go crazy
You're a man can do what you want
no one tells you to do or don't
The demon is here when you're feeling weak
Take some of this, listen when i speak
Take this stuff, it'll fix your life
You'll love it more than your wife
You give up, and you'll be ruled
You'll be one of the devil's fools
Just try a little, you can help yourself
To feel no pain equals all the wealth
Take some more cause it's almost time
One more shot and your soul is mine
See the world through black glasses
Watch my life as it passes
Through the city to the gates of hall
The demons there all will know me well
In the pain of my nightmare
Just give me more cause I don't care
Take me deeper, take me down
Demons wait for you underground
Walk with demons beneath your feet
You have things you must take, and dealers to meet
You can't control the spin, not by the shape that you're in
How could you tell you would wake up in hell
