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.
(Chorus X2)
She got her backpack, and her lunch pale too
Cheatin when im sitting next to you/Milk would do her body good too, baby
She got her backpack, and I got a ruler for her too
Now im bout to take her back to school
I can tell she got that thing by the way that she walking (walking)
Love that dang a lang by the way that she talking (talking)
Baby got dem goodies, think she wanna do me,
Shes a floozy oozy wanna give it to me
She got her jack in the box plus shes a fox, might jump right off
If I get the toss, not gonna talk, lights come right off
She know im khali baby, mabe its unfair
I dont care, I just wanna lay in her hair
Give me your number, well rondevue at the after set
Im the one to stunt ya, one to if happen as of yet
Her bubble, gets me in trouble, you can call it too excel, ima call it double
Her back pack, she packed ejects em, she got me erect some
Now I just expect some, your bodies inviting me to a fight
That well both like, well end the night in the right light if I spoke right
BABY!
(Chorus X2)
She got her backpack, and her lunch pale too
Cheatin when Im sittin next to you, baby
She got her backpack, and I got a ruler for her too
Now im bout to take her back to school
Her back pack full of school supplies
WHOO! Her thighs make me scoop her,
Back in round like a tuba
Got a trunk on her, front keeps me wantin her
Mad at her for that, matta fact I need to have that in the back
Tap it in the sack, dont know how to act when im round ya
She gave me that look, like im about to clown ya
I hound ya for a piece of that, hows about a squeeze on that
Im easy, like Sunday morning ill give up my cheese for that
Thick miss, Krizz is the pick for your wish list
Get bent, youll get to picture the bidness
She make em all geek when they view that
I told you, she got a back pack, but you already knew that
(Chorus X2)
She got her backpack, and her lunch pale too
Cheatin when Im sittin next to you, baby
She got her backpack, and I got a ruler for her too
Now im bout to take her back to school
Baby just shake ya, your money maka
Looked her up and down and said, mmm ill take ya
Break out my wallet, pay for the watcha ma call it
Knew she had a backpack from the front, fo I saw it
Shes a stallion, got the boys hollerin, ballers all of us
Hope her and all the girls come on and follow us
Them 816 Boyz, brand new rat pack
Lookin for them girls (HEY) packin them backpacks
(Chorus X2)
She got her backpack, and her lunch pale too
Cheatin when Im sittin next to you, baby
She got her backpack, and I got a ruler for her too
Now im bout to take her back to school
She got her backpack, and her lunch pale too

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

And I can't believe it. Krizz Kaliko has become really big next to Tech N9ne. This song, other than his new albus Shock Treatment, is one of the best. Most definetely.
I did all the posting up on kaliko songs, still a work in progress
