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 know that I made you wait for a very long time
'Cause I wasn't ready baby for you to come inside
I wanted you to know my name and not just what's between my thighs
I wanted you to play the game be'Cause I knew you get the prize
But the game is over baby, no more you need to fantasize
'Cause I'm not letting go so come and put your lips on mine
And I won't even hesitate, oh no baby not this time
I'm gonna give you all my loving.
Gonna make up for lost time
I just want to, I just want to break free
And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go
Won't you come a little closer while I slowly dim the lights
And put your hands up on my body. Baby you can take your time
Ain't no need to rush baby "Cause we got all night
I just want to scream your name and make you want to scream mine
I tried to fight the feelin' baby. Boy you got me hypnotized
But I can't help that I've been feenin' lately. I think about you all the time
Tonight I'm gonna get aggressive baby so don't you fear put up a fight
Tonight I'm gonna put it on you baby. Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride
I just want to, I just want to break free
And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go
I just want to, I just want to break free
And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go
'Cause I wasn't ready baby for you to come inside
I wanted you to know my name and not just what's between my thighs
I wanted you to play the game be'Cause I knew you get the prize
But the game is over baby, no more you need to fantasize
'Cause I'm not letting go so come and put your lips on mine
And I won't even hesitate, oh no baby not this time
I'm gonna give you all my loving.
Gonna make up for lost time
I just want to, I just want to break free
And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go
Won't you come a little closer while I slowly dim the lights
And put your hands up on my body. Baby you can take your time
Ain't no need to rush baby "Cause we got all night
I just want to scream your name and make you want to scream mine
I tried to fight the feelin' baby. Boy you got me hypnotized
But I can't help that I've been feenin' lately. I think about you all the time
Tonight I'm gonna get aggressive baby so don't you fear put up a fight
Tonight I'm gonna put it on you baby. Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride

And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go
I just want to, I just want to break free
And let you put your hands all over me
I just want to lose control
Tonight I'm gonna let go
So baby come and put your arms around me
'Cause I think I'm ready to be all you need
And nobody has to know
Tonight I'm gonna let go

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
