Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
If you croak, I hope you know I'm gonna toss you in the trash
You can't really blame us; we're only doing what you asked
If you have yourself a son, I'm gonna tell your baby boy
That Father Time's chock full of lies, so don't jump in just yet
Doubting Thomas deserves much more than we can give
If we win the lottery, let's buy an island just for him
So when that hurricane tries beating down the door
We can make him bat its eye 'til it can't see what's a...
Until we can't see what's ahead
Until we can't see what's ahead
You can sew me in stitches
Curse at the cautious
While it lasts
Cause soon we'll all forget
If we croak, I hope you know it's gonna be in single files
Hunting for models that were never worth the while
Each one of us caught heat for throwing Jack Frost in July
Staring at the sun 'til our eyes were done, we could not see what's a...
Until we can't see what's ahead
You can sew me in stitches
Curse at the cautious
While it lasts
Cause soon we'll all forget
You can't really blame us; we're only doing what you asked
If you have yourself a son, I'm gonna tell your baby boy
That Father Time's chock full of lies, so don't jump in just yet
Doubting Thomas deserves much more than we can give
If we win the lottery, let's buy an island just for him
So when that hurricane tries beating down the door
We can make him bat its eye 'til it can't see what's a...
Until we can't see what's ahead
Until we can't see what's ahead
You can sew me in stitches
Curse at the cautious
While it lasts
Cause soon we'll all forget
If we croak, I hope you know it's gonna be in single files
Hunting for models that were never worth the while
Each one of us caught heat for throwing Jack Frost in July

Until we can't see what's ahead
You can sew me in stitches
Curse at the cautious
While it lasts
Cause soon we'll all forget

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Fortnight
Taylor Swift

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.
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just a guess, but this song might be about atheistic death
'Until we can't see what's ahead' --Old age, dying
'You can sew me in stitches Curse at the cautious While it lasts' --You can do whatever the hell you want while your life lasts
"Cause soon we'll all forget" --Nothing after death, nonexistence. No memories, just nothing.
wow...that's, in a nutshell, exactly how i feel about this song. strange...that's never happened before.<br /> <br /> I think you're absolutely right. the song is about the futility of life. it's actually a very depressing song with pretty much no silver-lining set to a very bouncy "la-la-la" rythm. It's very sarcastic fair to midland form; but in a different context...this time the lyrics themselves aren't tongue-in-cheek, they are very straight forward, but rather the depressing lyrics set to the upbeat music is what makes it so sardonic.<br /> <br /> of course there are the quintessential ftm turns of phrases. "doubting thomas deserves much more than we can give, if we win the lottery lets buy an island just for him." that line in itself is purposefully contradictory; but the essence of the song is that no matter what you do, no matter the mark you make in your lifetime, no matter how much people remember you, you will eventually be forgotten; therefore, aside from a religious afterlife standpoint (like you already said, the song is written in the context of an "atheistic death"), individual life is not building towards anything and doesn't really matter...legacies are always forgotten, and in time people always forget. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
To expound on the death of an atheist idea, I believe it's more about death in general and how atheists and theists view it and how that affects their lives.
"If you croak, I hope you know I'm gonna toss you in the trash You can't really blame us; we're only doing what you asked"
To an atheist once your life ends then that's that. Without life your body is essentially trash, as opposed to many religion's views that your body is a vessel to be treasured or preserved. So, to them, ritualistically preserving a body should be viewed as a waste of time.
"If you have yourself a son, I'm gonna tell your baby boy That Father Time's chock full of lies, so don't jump in just yet"
You come into the world being told you'll live a full life into old age, but that isn't the case for many. This is compounded by many religion's promising an eternal life following your mortal death. So, essentially, you're telling a child to live life to its fullest and to not be shackled to the promises of long and everlasting life since "Father Time's chock full of lies."

Until we can't see what's ahead"
The atheist (Doubting Thomas) is at death's door so the theist's attempt to convert him, for they think he is a good man and deserves more than they believe he'll get (hell) so they can get him his own island in paradise, provided that they are correct in their beliefs and thus win the afterlife lottery. So, the hurricane is beating on the door (death is knocking) and they attempt to make him blink and make him abandon his beliefs, or lack thereof. But at the end of the day, they can't see what's ahead despite all their assurances in their beliefs.
"Until we can't see what's ahead You can sew me in stitches Curse at the cautious While it lasts Cause soon we'll all forget"
The atheist rejects their attempts. They can attempt to repair him, curse his non-belief, while it lasts because eventually everyone dies and thus forgets their beliefs.
"If we croak, I hope you know it's gonna be in single files Hunting for models that were never worth the while"
The religious die and they believe they'll line up for paradise as they have spent their entire lives striving for something people dream for and desired during life but resisted due to the promise of it being there in paradise for them after death.

They threw snow balls in the middle of summer, or generating controversy over the impossible. They blinded themselves and attempted to blind others to believe in something they could not see in the first place.
