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.
Sound the siren, the storm has come
Searching for answers posing no significance
To the self
The ritual has run it's malignant fucking course
Forsaken to the core
By the constant cut-throat game of lust
Stow into the underworld
Your pain endowed
Feast on silence
Until the island sinks
Til' the ghosts at bay
Swim the sweet song of revenge
Right down to your soul
Passion flows with revenge
Her glowing eyes
Speak to him
Temptation he can't resist
(He waits for her in suspense)
Tonight the meadows stir with strife..
The dream is over, it's not your fault
You toil in these thoughts so willingly
The dream is over, it's not your fault
I'm wide awake without you
Promise me you won't be so disarming
Oh, how intent
I can see it in your eyes
I would rather be safe than sorry
It's a crying shame that you have turned out insane..
The dream is over, it's not your fault
You toil in these thoughts so willingly
The dream is over, it's not your fault
I'm wide awake without you
Baby tell me a story...
One I haven't heard
Before I end this tale of a spiteful man
Cause' I'll hide inside my mind
If it'll take you to the end
Cause' I'm caught intoxicated
With the sweet liquour of revenge
How could you love as I once had
When all was true in the moment
For love is just a word to you
A tool to lose an opponent, yeahhhhh
He's got her weak singing blood is in the air
Oh, it's in her bloody stair
Yeah, he's got her singing blood is in the air, tonight
Blood is in the air..
Blood is in the air..

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
*'sing' the sweet song of revenge
epic song though
