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.
I ask, when will I see you again
Once was all that we had
And your touch I've forgotten
How good it was
Question my train of thoughts
Turning around in my mind
Can't let go
Visions of you baby
Is all that I know
Where do we go from here
How do we find our way to go on
Promise you'll stay by my side
Don't walk away from me now
Where do we go
Oh where do we go
Oh yeah yeah
I ask myself where are you now
Are you alone in the night
Do you feel the same way
That I'm feeling for you
'cause babe I need to know
Constantly sleepless
Alone in my bed
Visions of you babe
Is all that I have
Chorus
Oh where do we go
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Constantly sleepless
Alone in my bed
Visions of you babe
Is all that I have
Chorus
(where do we go from here)
Where do we go yeah yeah
Oh oh oh yeah
(how do we find our way to go on)
Where do we go
(promise you'll stay by my side)
Don't walk away don't walk away, baby
(don't walk away from me now)
All I ask now
Don't walk away don't walk away, baby
All I ask now
(promise you'll stay by my side)
Don't walk away from me now
Where do we go
Once was all that we had
And your touch I've forgotten
How good it was
Question my train of thoughts
Turning around in my mind
Can't let go
Visions of you baby
Is all that I know
Where do we go from here
How do we find our way to go on
Promise you'll stay by my side
Don't walk away from me now
Where do we go
Oh where do we go
Oh yeah yeah
I ask myself where are you now
Are you alone in the night
Do you feel the same way
That I'm feeling for you
'cause babe I need to know
Constantly sleepless
Alone in my bed
Visions of you babe
Is all that I have
Chorus
Oh where do we go
Oh yeah yeah

Constantly sleepless
Alone in my bed
Visions of you babe

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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

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/
