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.
Salí temprano para echar la camiñera
Noté que en el asta está mal puesta la bandera
Y pienso por qué nunca hace nada nadie
Por culpa de otros se la va a llevar el aire
Hay algo mas fuerte que el poder de la mente
El poder de poder eliminar a la gente
Tener la vara alta y además ser prepotente
México el país donde es libre el delincuente
Que caiga grueso, que caiga, que caiga
Que nos dejen decir lo que se nos de la gana
Que los ex-presidentes devuelvan la lana
Que se caiga el teatro, que se les caiga
Dividendo y repartiendo el presupuesto en comisiones
Transformando mis impuestos en sus lindas vacaciones
Estorban al progreso y además de eso nos cobran
Usted se ha preguntado cuantos mexicanos sobran
Que caiga grueso, que caiga, que caiga
Que nos dejen decir lo que se nos de la gana
Que los ex-presidentes devuelvan la lana
Que se caiga el teatro, que se les caiga
Que caiga grueso, que caiga, que caiga
Que nos dejen decir lo que se nos de la gana
Que los ex-presidentes devuelvan la lana
Que se caiga el teatro, que se les caiga
La gente en la calle transporte insuficiente
Cultura inteligencia un gobierno mas congruente
El pesero es imprudente pero el rico mas pudiente
Años sin educación apendejan a la gente
México torcido todo nunca ha estado tan jodido
Nunca ha estado tan jodido México todo torcido
México torcido todo nunca ha estado tan jodido
Nunca ha estado tan jodido México todo torcido
México torcido todo nunca ha estado tan jodido
Nunca ha estado tan jodido México todo torcido
México torcido todo nunca ha estado tan jodido
Nunca ha estado tan jodido México todo torcido
Que caiga grueso, que caiga, que caiga
Que nos dejen decir lo que se nos de la gana
Que los ex-presidentes devuelvan la lana
Que se caiga el teatro, que se les caiga
Que caiga grueso, que caiga, que caiga
Que nos dejen decir lo que se nos de la gana
Que los ex-presidentes devuelvan la lana
Que se caiga el teatro, que se les caiga
Noté que en el asta está mal puesta la bandera
Y pienso por qué nunca hace nada nadie
Por culpa de otros se la va a llevar el aire
Hay algo mas fuerte que el poder de la mente
El poder de poder eliminar a la gente

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
