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.
Pay for themselves And for their tragedy
Do you like there killings?
Or love to feel free?
Pay for themselves And die
Pay for themselves and run
Just let you know that I will find you
Burning alive a game you play with
Thousand souls And thats your road
When you call my name
I ll play that role
Guns for all and all for guns. Breed!
Girls and boys will always see.Creed!
HEY! WE SCORE!
Sit down and wait your suicide
WE LEAD!
How should we lead our child to god
We chose your game over
Your broken life
Go and dance with your choice
We chose your role, we chose your game over
You're right
You're right. Go fuck your politics.
When compliments will make from you god
And lies burning your face
Crime! Will rise and you will justified
Lies! Will burn your fucking face
Pay for themselves
Pay for themselves, for it all
Brakes for me. I cant cope
Hey! Listen to your soul
We need you to be here
Rise is part of your life
We ll play that role
Save your life from those
Who dont care
Of broken tragedies
We ll brake the sun
Why should we wait for death
Looking for place where we can change the world
Why should we wait for death
Fuck that! Misery! You will be failed!
Do you like there killings?
Or love to feel free?
Pay for themselves And die
Pay for themselves and run
Just let you know that I will find you
Burning alive a game you play with
Thousand souls And thats your road
When you call my name
I ll play that role
Guns for all and all for guns. Breed!
Girls and boys will always see.Creed!
HEY! WE SCORE!
Sit down and wait your suicide
WE LEAD!
How should we lead our child to god
We chose your game over
Your broken life
Go and dance with your choice
We chose your role, we chose your game over
You're right
You're right. Go fuck your politics.
When compliments will make from you god
And lies burning your face
Crime! Will rise and you will justified
Lies! Will burn your fucking face
Pay for themselves
Pay for themselves, for it all
Brakes for me. I cant cope
Hey! Listen to your soul
We need you to be here
Rise is part of your life
We ll play that role
Save your life from those
Who dont care
Of broken tragedies
We ll brake the sun
Why should we wait for death
Looking for place where we can change the world
Why should we wait for death
Fuck that! Misery! You will be failed!

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

@[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.
