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.
You've got these little things
That you've been running from
You either love it or I guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing
To be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go
So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind
Get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
You've got these little things
You wanted something for 'em
You either get it or I guess you won't
What does it really mean
To get nothing from anyone?
There's a million ways it could go
So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it out of here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
A pocket full of fancy words
A pocket full of fancy words
That you've been running from
You either love it or I guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing
To be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go
So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind
Get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
You've got these little things
You wanted something for 'em
You either get it or I guess you won't
What does it really mean
To get nothing from anyone?
There's a million ways it could go
So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it?
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it out of here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think

Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh

Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh
I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh oh ooh, oh oh ooh

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

“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.
this would make a good graduation song...
Love it! Brilliant!
I would like to do an arrangement of this for my school choir but I need sheet music!!!!!!
So catchy.
this song will be so exciting to hear live!
My interpretation is that he's been in a confusing phase and he got stuck in it for awhile because of indecisions. Finally, he's come into some kind of resolution and he's ready to leave whatever it is behind and take chances.
IDK, this is Panic! at the Disco. Can't take their lyrics and videos literally. But that's my shot at it.
I like this song. And I love the Vices and Virtues album!:-)
I love this song! It's so beautiful! :D for me, the lyrics are about....a girl who got dumped by a guy and she's still upset about it but now she's "Ready to go", ready to live her life and give someone another chance at love. The guy (singing the song to her) He wants to take the relationship to the next level hence the lines,
"So tell me right now You think you're ready for it? I wanna know why you got me goin' So let's go We'll take it out of here I think I'm ready to leave I'm ready to live"
That's what I think the lyrics mean. :)
"Get me out of my mind" You are your own worst enemy and that's what he is ready to get away from. He wants to go away from all the judgement and stuff that we go through as people everyday. "You either love it, or I guess you don't." So only do what makes you happy and don't worry about those "little things that you've been running from."
Wanting to escape his boredom somehow?
Good song!
