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.
Oh sugar,
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'?
You know you gotta,
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
'Cause no one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
So would you
So would you talk to me?
It's time to decide
'Cause no one's gonna save ya
If you don't swim for the boat
No one's gonna save ya
If you won't take the rope
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love, the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
So sugar,
So sugar dance with me
This one last time
We got no reason,
We got no reason I can see
To hold back tonight
'Cause no one's gonna catch ya
If you can't just let go
No one's gonna know ya
If you can't let love show
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
Oh sugar
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'
You know you gotta
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'?
You know you gotta,
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
'Cause no one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
So would you
So would you talk to me?
It's time to decide
'Cause no one's gonna save ya
If you don't swim for the boat
No one's gonna save ya
If you won't take the rope
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love, the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
So sugar,
So sugar dance with me
This one last time
We got no reason,
We got no reason I can see
To hold back tonight
'Cause no one's gonna catch ya
If you can't just let go
No one's gonna know ya
If you can't let love show
No one's gonna find ya
When you're hiding in the dark
No one's gonna find ya
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
Oh sugar
Oh sugar can't you see
How hard I'm tryin'
You know you gotta
You know you gotta eventually
Make up your mind
And it's end love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
The sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'
End love the sky is fallin'

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.

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.
Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I agree with ReciprocatingSaw. On all counts. (I lovessss the 80s feel too!)
