Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Take me to the ocean blue
Let me dive right into
Anything I'll ever capture
You can wait up all night
Waiting for wrong or right
I always knew where I had you
You can lie on my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Living on the edge of peace
Knowing that water can freeze
Do you still want me to open
Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me
'Till the tides take my soul
[Chorus]
We belong to the sea
To the waves you and me
Living in the ocean so blue
We belong to the sea
Open wide being free
A minute everlasting with you
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea
Can you wash me away
Will you dry me one day
Take me to the place where I came from
If I had an open heart
Would you tear that apart
Why do I feel that you're lonesome
Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me
'Till the tides take my soul
[Chorus]
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea
There's a thunder inside me
That your silence will kill
And I know that you forced me
To get rid of what I feel
[Chorus]
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea
Let me dive right into
Anything I'll ever capture
You can wait up all night
Waiting for wrong or right
I always knew where I had you
You can lie on my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Living on the edge of peace
Knowing that water can freeze
Do you still want me to open
Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me
'Till the tides take my soul
[Chorus]
We belong to the sea
To the waves you and me
Living in the ocean so blue
We belong to the sea
Open wide being free
A minute everlasting with you
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea
Can you wash me away
Will you dry me one day
Take me to the place where I came from
If I had an open heart
Would you tear that apart
Why do I feel that you're lonesome
Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me
'Till the tides take my soul
[Chorus]
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea
There's a thunder inside me
That your silence will kill
And I know that you forced me
To get rid of what I feel
[Chorus]
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.
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.
