its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna take you home
And watch the world explode
From underneath your glow
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
I wanna watch you close
I need to see for sure
And then the tape is on
Who do you think we could show
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
You enter slowly
You know my room
You crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb
I wanna take you home
And watch the world explode
From underneath your glow
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
I wanna watch you close
I need to see for sure
And then the tape is on
Who do you think we could show
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
You enter slowly
You know my room
You crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb

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.

@[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.
@FortuneAndFame had to look this one up as well because it was bothering me. But glow also means to have a warm reddish color, especially from exercise (an alternative definition). So lets clarify this.... "Dont want to take it slow I want to take you home And watch the world explode From underneath your glow." The glow is from the killer. A lot of people have commented that "from underneath your glow" means that this is the "life" being taken. But rather, the life being taken is the from the line "and watch the world explode". The glow from the killer is from the effort of killing. Which would have to be physically demanding.... enough to "turn red as in from excercise". People are also interpretting the line "and watch the world explode" as if it says "and watch YOUR world explode"... but it doesn't say that. The latter sounds as if it would come from the killer, but those aren't the lyrics, the lyrics are the former. Which can only mean one possible thing.... and that is the vicitim is indeed the one speaking. The direction of the narrative never switches sides. The recipient of the pleasure is the one who as well suffers which can only mean this is a fabrication from another's mind upon what they believe they are doing for this person. They're unintentionally making this act sexual for the victim in their own mind... but almost doing it to intentionally justify their compulsion, and it most certainly is a compulsion since they believe the victim doesn't want to "... take it slow"
