Nobody's gonna wanna get next to me
'Cause they know
(They know)
I take what's mine and won't let it go
Doesn't matter how you approach the scene
Just hope
(Just hope)
You're everything and more when you hit the door

I dare you to challenge me
You'll be begging for mercy, please
Just watch; I'll give you something to follow
'Cause I've been waiting so patiently
To let the fire come out of me
I'm what you're up against
Just letting you know

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine
Let's set it off

The king is knowing
No one can take his crown
I'm so brave
(So brave)
They can't cool me off when I hit the stage
Burnin' hot, the spotlight just spelled my name
I feel famous
(Famous)
The crowd cheers me on
They can't get enough

I dare you to challenge me
You'll be begging for mercy, please
Just watch; I'll give you something to follow
'Cause I've been waiting so patiently
To let the fire come out of me
I'm what you're up against
Just letting you know

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine

I keep giving you the fire
I'm gonna heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine
Let's set it off

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine

I keep giving you the fire
I'mma heat it up
Under my control
Here's the night that you've been waiting on
Fire, I'mma light it up
Gotta make it hot
The stage is mine
Let's set it off
Fire

Fortnight
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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
