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.
When Jesus saves the world
Where will you be?
Out on the lonesome plains o Texas
Or the shores of the Galilee
When Jesus Saves the World
Which he will surely do
It don't matter where you are
He's gonna bring his wrath on you
Ah-um Mississippi Ah-um Alabama
Ah-um Louisiana Ah-um Nashville
Tennessee
When Jesus Saves the world
And tallies up the toll
For ever one he sends to Glory
Be a billion burn below
When Jesus Saves the world
He'll be looking right straight at you
An ever sin you ever did
Gonna stick out clear and true
Ah-um Carolinas Ah-um Atlanta Georgia
Ah-um Miami Florida Ah-um New Orleans
When Jesus Saves the world
You're either on or off the track
There ain't no reincarnation
You won't be commin back
When Jesus Saves the world
Your loved ones will be gone
You'll have to face his awful judgment
Stark naked all alone
Ah-um Oh Virginia Ah-um Oklahoma
Ah-um Arkansas Ah-um Abilene
When Jesus Saves the world
All time will stop with sin
And nothin will be mysterious
It'll all just be The End
When Jesus Saves the world
He will kill it too
And the righteous will rise to Glory
What a comfort to me and you
Ah-um
Where will you be?
Out on the lonesome plains o Texas
Or the shores of the Galilee
When Jesus Saves the World
Which he will surely do
It don't matter where you are
He's gonna bring his wrath on you
Ah-um Mississippi Ah-um Alabama
Ah-um Louisiana Ah-um Nashville
Tennessee
When Jesus Saves the world
And tallies up the toll
For ever one he sends to Glory
Be a billion burn below
When Jesus Saves the world
He'll be looking right straight at you
An ever sin you ever did
Gonna stick out clear and true
Ah-um Carolinas Ah-um Atlanta Georgia
Ah-um Miami Florida Ah-um New Orleans
When Jesus Saves the world
You're either on or off the track
There ain't no reincarnation
You won't be commin back
When Jesus Saves the world
Your loved ones will be gone
You'll have to face his awful judgment
Stark naked all alone
Ah-um Oh Virginia Ah-um Oklahoma
Ah-um Arkansas Ah-um Abilene
When Jesus Saves the world
All time will stop with sin
And nothin will be mysterious
It'll all just be The End
When Jesus Saves the world
He will kill it too
And the righteous will rise to Glory
What a comfort to me and you
Ah-um

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.
