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.
How does it feel to be on the top of the world?
It's not like your stage is any higher, any louder
You're still only 10 feet above flat ground
Hell, I don't want to but I'll give it to you
Every face down there wants you
Although, they'll turn at the drop of a dime
Like wild dogs we're all waiting in line for you to fuck up hard enough
So we can push you aside
We've learned there's more to music than sound
And if you're listening, I hope you know we built this up from the ground
Every remark with heart
We're not saints, but at least we're not fake
And if you're listening, then put your hands up in the air and sing
We're not afraid to finally speak our minds
We're not afraid and we're no longer blind
We're not afraid to leave your bullshit scene behind
We're not afraid, we're not afraid this time
Train wrecks develop so slowly
And in due time this life will fill your heart with hate
In due time, life will reject your advances
We'll attempt to put the world on its axis
We don't know who you are right now
Hey now, this ain't about you but everything relies on first impressions
So when the most we know was just your shitty town and your shitty friends
To simplify it, you're so irrelevant
I'll say you're not worth shit
Although the worlds a market for it
I just hope they see the problem with this
I'll bite my tongue, this system is corrupt
So we'll just shake it off, and continue being underdogs
You're all so god damn easily impressed
We don't know who you are right now
Hey now, this ain't about you but everything relies on first impressions
So when the most we know was just your bad tattoos, trends
And underdeveloped pen stains you scribble to shit friends
I'll say you're not worth shit
Although the worlds a market for it
I hope that they see the problem
It's not like your stage is any higher, any louder
You're still only 10 feet above flat ground
Hell, I don't want to but I'll give it to you
Every face down there wants you
Although, they'll turn at the drop of a dime
Like wild dogs we're all waiting in line for you to fuck up hard enough
So we can push you aside
We've learned there's more to music than sound
And if you're listening, I hope you know we built this up from the ground
Every remark with heart
We're not saints, but at least we're not fake
And if you're listening, then put your hands up in the air and sing
We're not afraid to finally speak our minds
We're not afraid and we're no longer blind
We're not afraid to leave your bullshit scene behind
We're not afraid, we're not afraid this time
Train wrecks develop so slowly
And in due time this life will fill your heart with hate
In due time, life will reject your advances
We'll attempt to put the world on its axis
We don't know who you are right now
Hey now, this ain't about you but everything relies on first impressions
So when the most we know was just your shitty town and your shitty friends
To simplify it, you're so irrelevant
I'll say you're not worth shit
Although the worlds a market for it
I just hope they see the problem with this
I'll bite my tongue, this system is corrupt
So we'll just shake it off, and continue being underdogs
You're all so god damn easily impressed
We don't know who you are right now
Hey now, this ain't about you but everything relies on first impressions
So when the most we know was just your bad tattoos, trends
And underdeveloped pen stains you scribble to shit friends
I'll say you're not worth shit
Although the worlds a market for it
I hope that they see the problem

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/

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.
You misspelled "worlds" the first time it says "the worlds a market for it" :p
