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.
O, do you want my heart between your teeth?
your hands are curling up like floating leaves
you who shall deserve
you who shall deserve
O, unpluckable flower of the moon!
O, untetherable bird of the blue!
you who shall deserve
you who shall deserve
deserters!
deserters!
deserters!
deserters!
the neighbours cup their ears to the walls
two hearts
no more
your hands are curling up like floating leaves
you who shall deserve
you who shall deserve
O, unpluckable flower of the moon!
O, untetherable bird of the blue!
you who shall deserve
you who shall deserve
deserters!
deserters!
deserters!
deserters!
the neighbours cup their ears to the walls
two hearts
no more

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song speaks to me in volumes. I hear A rough break up. Not only are they lost to each other.. but "Two hearts, no more" suggests that without each other these hearts cannot survive..
Love how they use the same melody from the end of Hooting and Howling for the outro for this song as well.
i think this could be from the point of view of the person who discovered the victim of part i:
for the "O do you want my heart between your teeth..." stanza, imagine the saviour is telling this to the victim, who he's wrapped in a blanket or whatever like "is there anything i can get you?", desperate to help this poor person in her fragile state (floating leaves).
the second stanza is like his adoration of her beauty, and the apparent futility of trying to give her the love she deserves due to the damage she's taken in her past - like swooning forever over an unpluckable flower or an untetherable bird.
the ending part is perhaps him shouting in outrage concerning all the people who have abandoned her - the rapists, her children - which disturbs the neighbours or something and she dies perhaps in accordance with the two hearts no more thing i dunno. harrowing pair o songs
So after listening to Two Dancers(I) and then Two Dancers(II) it seems, to me at least, like a woman that turned to prostitution for a means of making ends meet. Then in the last verse they talk about being pulled out of a sea so perhaps she met someone that wanted to take her away from that life. Because at the end the singer says "no more" Then the next song (Part 2) is possibly about insecurities in the relationship and worrying the man who saved her is starting to feel disgusted by her in the first verse. Then the second verse is showing admiration for the person which is quickly replaced by anger and blame calling them a deserter. And then "two hearts no more" the relationship has ended. Just my thoughts.
... hahahahahahahahahaha
