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.
I-I-I'm ready for ya
RIP to the girl you used to see
Her days are over Baby she's over
I've decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer
I'm ready for ya
Kill 'em all, switch it up
Put it on, zip it up
Let my perfume, soak into your sweater
Say you'll be here soon, sooner the better
No option for her, you sayin' no
I run this game, just play your role
Follow my lead, what you waitin' fo'?
Thought it over and decided tonight is the night
Yeah I hear you talkin', don't know who you tryin' to flatter
Got my mind made up I-I-I'm ready for ya
I'm in control, but with you bein' the man
You don't seem to understand that I-I-I'm ready for ya
I-I-I'm ready for ya
I-I-I'm ready for ya
So keep thinkin' you the man
'Cause it's all part of my plan
I-I-I'm ready for ya
Nothin' on, I strut around
I do it big, I shut it down
I wonder if you'll be able to handle me
Mental pictures, no cameras please
Yeah I hear you talkin', don't know who you tryin' to flatter
Got my mind made up I-I-I'm ready for ya
I'm in control, but with you bein' the man
You don't seem to understand that I-I-I'm ready for ya
I-I-I'm ready for ya
I-I-I'm ready for ya
So keep thinkin' you the man
'Cause it's all part of my plan
I-I-I'm ready for ya
red lipstick on the wine glass cameras in my mind
Flash, black lingerie, white diamonds, what a contrast
I know you get impatient as the time pass
You say you want it fast define fast
'Cause I can speed it up, and make it last
And I could audition for this, and I could be part of the cast
And I could produce for your future, I could co-direct your past
And make damn sure you never forget it
Committed
I'm ready, I'm with it still here like a statue
Pink champagne, green ink in your tattoos
You say you got baggage, well I'm packed too
Plus I got a sex pistol, pointed right at you "bang"
The baddest women ever and the hardest out
Proven over and over again that's why I'm hard to doubt
Plus I'm Young Money 'till the death, I took the carter route
I'm more than ready too, hope of something that you thought about
Yeah I hear you talkin', don't know who you tryin' to flatter
Got my mind made up I-I-I'm ready for ya
I'm in control, but with you bein' the man
You don't seem to understand that I-I-I'm ready for ya
I-I-I'm ready for ya
I-I-I'm ready for ya
So keep thinkin' you the man
'Cause it's all part of my plan
I-I-I'm ready for ya
RIP to the girl

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
so..the chorus is being said by the girl then?
