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.

Time's up, WHAT? Trey, push me back on the
rhyme tip to flip, use a nine and a clip
Release date fate's in my hands not yours
BEATNUT TRACKS -- shakes ya drawers
Holdin back the rhymin, time is of the essence
Single file line, participate the presence
of the Puerto Rican humble never over-exert
Half-Cuban, type brotha, got styles, jerk!
Reclining on the scene, do it with ease
Don't like tools, cool like the breeze
Funky mic holder never was a Casanova
Pulled her over told her, baby I'm much older so
"Come and talk to me I only want to, check, you girl
I don't want to, know your name"
Kickin the style Kadi wassup? (Stop, that shit is lame!)
YES, YES JORGE! -- What? Fuck it get right
Puttin fuel in the torch, with a style that ignite
All ducks to the left when I'm pitchin my tent
Spanish speakers -- REPRESENT!
Chorus: Kurious and Beatnuts
[all] YES, YES JORGE! Gotta give em what they want
[all] YES, YES JORGE!
[Les] A rhyme to what, to make em jump!
[all] YES, YES JORGE!

[Kurious]
I do the dip dip dive, so so socialize
Bang, your buddha highs puts the smoke in my eyes
Malt liquor got me trapped, my rap is controversial
Might drink the brew, but won't do no commercial
Rehearsal is top speed, comin in at a higher rate
Took care of my pupils, now it's time for my pockets
to dilate -- drink mad fluid with the crooks
When I drop tabs like ads in the Billboard books
I'm seein right through ya, YEAH
Bout time you hit the door -- glad I knew ya
In other words, Herb, slide to the side
Hey Mary if you're down to J. then I o-Blige
NO TRICKIN -- business got my head in the Yo!
(Yo Jorge I seen your video) Pssh, whattup bro?
Understand the style when it's time to freak the funk
All I got is critics in my ear that's poppin junk
Just like Levi's, you need to ZIP
your lip up rhymes when it's time to flip
Hit it up quick - like a ball and a bat
Til it's time to slide, LIKE THAT
Chorus
"Spell it with a J... and not with a G" (4X)

You say, "OK, you spell it with a J, Kurious
you're kinda cool, tell me what you're tryin to say"
I had you Walkin Like a Duck, slow and steady now I'm ready
to make you Zoom-a-Zoom Zoom, Shake your Rump like Teddy
YES, YES JORGE -- WHAAAAH! Hearin the yells
The two fly magicians, castin mad spells
Kids buggin, bodies in wells
Prefer to lay back, twist caps and spark L's
? crew, hardhead style, never quittin
You ask the question why the country western shit is hittin
Secret lies within the stringes of the uke-lele
then I sail these serpent seas to Cuba and parley
Chill, max, smoke a cigar
You need to Walk Like a.. yeah, you know who you are
Pack my bags, now I'm out to St. Croix
Cool latin brother could never be a pretty boy
Girls still be frontin (why?) don't even ask it
I still get head, like a guillotine basket
you bastard -- just kiddin, jokes is what I'm written
My ? ? -- DON'T DRIVE DRUNK -- I'm skiddin
Back on track, chill around the way
Kurious signin off, spell it with a J

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
