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.

Tyler, you obviously have some fucking problems and this is...
This is the end of this session, let's...anything else you gotta say?
Tyler, the Creator (Verse 1)
Mom is getting jealous I see my manager more than I see her before I go on tour and it hurts (Yeah)
I miss the days where this is fun but now it turned into work
We're getting legal so I gotta watch the shit that I blurt out (As you should, the shit's outrageous)
My friends are turning into opposites because my life is turning into opposite of sloppy wrists
And all the bitches who forgot about me want to ride my dick harder than the white kids who copy shit
Ending it is all I fucking think about
That's the shit I think about all alone balling till my motherfucking eyes bleed
See he's a leader in person and smiles
Shit gets disgursting when there's no person around
Talking of discussion, shit
Man, fuck (I'm here to talk)
I'm putting myself at a distance
For instance my best friend is now my fucking assistant (Who, Travis?)
Niggers saying 'Free Earl' without even knowing him
See they're missing the new album, I'm missing my only friend
Dr. TC
You have everyone around you with...thirty names a day, see what it is, I mean you act like you have no one to talk to
I'm here for you, I'm your friend
Tyler, The Creator
When I say Odd, y'all say Future
Odd...oh oh nah that shit is corny as fuck
Fuck
(You're doing good, you have a cult following, you're a)
To these white kids?
(Oh my gosh)
Tyler, the Creator (Verse 2)
Charboiled nigger on these dark beats
Nauseous with the nazi but it's normal what the cops see
Awesome at his concert but he never had a pops, see
Mommy was a living single queen with a lat ti
So while my wallet's palling with some polling colored paper I lace her cause she gave me a lot at such a young age
Twenty, why didn't she get that abortion?
Probably cause that motherfucking embryo was morphing into a Grammy-winning schizophrenic fucking orphan
Oops, I mean bastard, skinny ass distaster
Mom works hard, still working on her masters
Son lies about taking classes at community colleges to record some bullshit he calls Bastard
Start a fucking cult, clash his talents in a brash way
Before he even had a moustache and cash
And all I got was a fucking shitty article in Thrasher
(Alright, listen, calm down)
That ain't shit man
(Now don't make yourself seem guilty, that article was great)
No, fuck that, nigger
(You're fucking yourself up and you're living the fucking life right now, G)
(When I was your age I would have loved to be fucking doing the things that you're doing right now)
Fuck that, fuck all this shit
(You act like I'm not here)
You're not
(You aren't exactly who you're supposed to be talking to)
You don't fucking help me with shit, YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT, FUCK
(You wouldn't do that [Fuck you], you wouldn't [FUCK YOU] you wouldn't shoot your friends right [YOU FUCKING FUCK])
(That's fine, it's not your fault)
I'LL KILL MY FUCKING FRIENDS
FUCK
(We're gonna need security here and, uh, we gonna need some ?)
THE FUCK, I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS SHIT, I'M NOT FUCKING CRAZY, I'M A FUCKING TABLE
I'M A FUCKING TABLE
(He's losing it)
NO, FUCK THIS SHIT
(Tyler, calm down)
Tyler, the Creator (Verse 3)
Imma grab the nina (No) then find a nice arena
Cause I can't even choose between Ortega or Sabrina
And I'm not even human, I'm a body-shaped demon with some semen in my sack
And some problems in a bag (Calm the fuck down)
And a life that's filled with crap
And a finger filled with hate
And a gat that's filled with love
Now that opposites attract
I can finally be one
Like a marriage in a church
But this marriage has a hurse
And the parents of the one that's getting married has a curse
And it's made up inside of him
Too late to reimburse but wait it gets worse
All the guests that's in the church
All decided to disperse (Tyler)
So it was nobody who could stop the wedding with converse (You don't wanna do this)
So they tied the knot
Now it's too late to reverse this arrangement (Yes, it is)
The nurse is amazed at the hurt, that he was paining (Calm the fuck down)
But it was obvious in all the photos he was painting
Now a bunch of whispering immerse
Shit (Doing things like that, security's right there)
No, get away from me (Get him)
And then the nurse blutrs (come here) (What the fuck is his problem?)
No (Here, we have two doses to give him, here)
Why didn't anybody ask his first? (Get on the ground) (Hold him down) (I been asking you this whole time)
Get the fuck away from me, get away from me (Come here motherfucker)
Cause no one gave a fuck
Fuck off
Dr. TC
Someone gave a fuck, Tyler, and, uh, the person who gave a fuck was me
See, you're not going crazy, it's me, I'm your best friend, Tyler
I know everything, I know everything about you
You've been helping yourself for sometime
In fact you're just flying through your imagination

See, Tyler, I'm your conscience

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
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.
Holiday

@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

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.
