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.
Regnat the Dragon Slayer, king of sea and land
When people spot your sail they fear the sword that's in your hand
I was born your son and with my brothers I sailed out
To feed the ravens, sreal the gold where battle rages loud
You had to go to England with the few men you could gain
And outnumbered ten to one your heroes they were slain
You searched for death in battle but the falling light of day
Saw you as a prisoner in chains they dragged you away
In a pit of snakes
By vermin's breath
Die you lost your life
No honour in such a death
The sons of the dragon slayer
All for one we stand
We'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak the land
The sons of the dragon slayer
King Ella you'll repent
I'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak your land
Ivar my brother king of London let me know
He birbed the english nobles so king Ella stands alone
Now's the time to gather men to play the bloody game
Take their lives and spill their blood to wash away the shame
Long boats touch the sand. Northern warriors steel in hand
The enemy is weak, no way to defend
Running through the lines, falling on a fearing prey
Rognar's sons deal hard. And in the end they win the day
In a lake of blood
King Ella's death
Die hard die slowly die
The blood eagle drinks your breath
The sons of the dragon slayer
All for one we stand
We'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak the land
The sons of the dragon slayer
King Ella you'll repent
I'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak your land
When people spot your sail they fear the sword that's in your hand
I was born your son and with my brothers I sailed out
To feed the ravens, sreal the gold where battle rages loud
You had to go to England with the few men you could gain
And outnumbered ten to one your heroes they were slain
You searched for death in battle but the falling light of day
Saw you as a prisoner in chains they dragged you away
In a pit of snakes
By vermin's breath
Die you lost your life
No honour in such a death
The sons of the dragon slayer
All for one we stand
We'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak the land
The sons of the dragon slayer
King Ella you'll repent
I'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak your land
Ivar my brother king of London let me know
He birbed the english nobles so king Ella stands alone
Now's the time to gather men to play the bloody game
Take their lives and spill their blood to wash away the shame
Long boats touch the sand. Northern warriors steel in hand
The enemy is weak, no way to defend
Running through the lines, falling on a fearing prey
Rognar's sons deal hard. And in the end they win the day
In a lake of blood
King Ella's death
Die hard die slowly die
The blood eagle drinks your breath
The sons of the dragon slayer
All for one we stand
We'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak the land
The sons of the dragon slayer
King Ella you'll repent
I'll cut the blood eagle
And your life shall soak your land

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.

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.
