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.
Well you can ride the hennenpin crawler for a dollar
Peddle it around the world
You can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
Impress them steam punk girls
If you ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You'll feel that burn in your thigh
'Cause when you ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You get to touch that pie in the sky
He'll show his crusty old pickle for a nickel
Must say I'd rather not
He tried to show a girl off of Florence street
He's damn lucky he didn't get caught
Fell asleep on night with a lit cigarette
As he tried to drink away his pain
When a fireman doused his burnt out shack
All they found was a greasy stain
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go
Now you can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
And peddle your cares away
You can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You best be prepared to pay
'Cause when you ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
There's no friends or cuttin' deals
You can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
Sweat's gonna grease them wheels
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go
He tried to buy a lotta ore for a quarter
Way back in the olden days
He sold his soul for a donut hole
He could muster the nerve to ask for a raise
She sold sea shells and other things
Down by the old sea shore
When she sold her song to a beer commercial
She looked like a filthy whore
Ha ha
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go
Now you can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
Peddle it around the world
You can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
Impress them steam punk girls
You can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You feel that burn in your thigh
'Cause when you ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You get to bite that pie in the sky
You get to bite that pie in the sky
You get to bite that pie in the sky
You get to bite that pie in the sky
You get to bite that pie in the sky
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Hennepin, Hennepin Crawler

If you ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You'll feel that burn in your thigh
'Cause when you ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
You get to touch that pie in the sky
He'll show his crusty old pickle for a nickel
Must say I'd rather not
He tried to show a girl off of Florence street
He's damn lucky he didn't get caught
Fell asleep on night with a lit cigarette
As he tried to drink away his pain
When a fireman doused his burnt out shack
All they found was a greasy stain
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go go
Go
Now you can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar
And peddle your cares away
You can ride the Hennepin Crawler for a dollar

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.

As the fellow who posted these lyrics, I listened intently to this great, albeit poorly mixed, song, it was tough to pull out the words. Got em though. Like miramarjuice, had to look up what a Hennepin crawler was. Must say, its more silly than practical.
Lyrics just stream of consciousness. No deeper meaning here except for brief vignettes of four characters.
Nothing deeper than this.
