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.
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo algo nuevo algo no visto
Algo que no se, palabras que me suenen perfectas
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo algo nuestro algo que nadie conozca y que entre los dos permanecer ocultos
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo quiero cuando, cuando te duermas poder tocar 3 notas sin que escriban algo
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo quiero barco y llevarte a playas secretas de arena aterciopelada
Si tanto me quieres
Haz como el resto de las mujeres
Haz como el resto de todas las mujeres
Si tanto me quieres
Haz como el resto de las mujeres
Haz como el resto de las mujeres
Haz como el resto de todas las mujeres
Y dime, dime al menos algo que haya hecho bien
Dime al menos una sola que este bien
Dime, dime al menos algo que haya hecho bien
Dime al menos una sola, pero dime algo
No quiero verla
Solo algo nuevo algo no visto
Algo que no se, palabras que me suenen perfectas
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo algo nuestro algo que nadie conozca y que entre los dos permanecer ocultos
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo quiero cuando, cuando te duermas poder tocar 3 notas sin que escriban algo
No quiero verla
No quiero verla
Solo quiero barco y llevarte a playas secretas de arena aterciopelada
Si tanto me quieres
Haz como el resto de las mujeres
Haz como el resto de todas las mujeres
Si tanto me quieres
Haz como el resto de las mujeres
Haz como el resto de las mujeres
Haz como el resto de todas las mujeres
Y dime, dime al menos algo que haya hecho bien
Dime al menos una sola que este bien
Dime, dime al menos algo que haya hecho bien
Dime al menos una sola, pero dime algo

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
I think the "nuevo" in the second verse is actually "nuestro", based on the way El Guincho is singing it. Using that word replacement, I made an approximate English translation of the song for anyone who was interested. (Feel free to correct it, I'm not a very good Spanish-speaker and I just used Google Translate and some editing to make it make more sense.)
"I don’t really Don’t really just want something new, something not seen, something you don’t know, words that sound perfect
I don’t really I don’t really just want our something, something that nobody knows, and that the two of us keep hidden
I don’t really I don’t really just want a quarter and when you fall asleep, to play three notes and nothing is written
I don’t really No I don’t really just want a boat and to take you to secret beaches of velvety sand
and so if I want to do as the other women to do as the other women to do as all the other women
tell me at least tell me something you've done well tell me at least one thing that is good tell me at least tell me something you've done well tell me at least one thing but tell me something
I don’t really I don’t really just want our something, something that nobody knows, and that the two of us keep hidden
and so if I want to do as the other women to do as the other women to do as all the others
tell me at least tell me something you've done well tell me at least one thing that is good tell me at least tell me something you've done well tell me at least one thing but tell me something"
Sorry, I meant "nuestros" not "nuestro"
