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.
Pensé que estaba curado de amor
Que estaba recuperado
Que había logrado cerrar con candado
Las puertas de mi alma después de un fracaso
Pero parece que el corazón
Se me quedo un poco abierto
Y al gusto de un beso nació un sentimiento
Que ya conocía y daba por muerto
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
No pensé estar tan loco por ti
Me doy cuenta que empiezo a ceder
Y me asusta saber el camino por donde pase
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
Porque cuando lo hice sufrí
Pero es fácil llegarte a querer
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Yo me jure no entregarme al amor
Como lo hice algún día
Jure que seria conmigo egoísta
Pero no conté con tu cara tan linda
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
No pensé estar tan loco por ti
Me doy cuenta que empiezo a ceder
Y me asusta saber el camino por donde pase
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
Porque cuando lo hice sufrí
Pero es fácil llegarte a querer
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Y desearte como a nadie igual
Sin miedo de expresar mis sentimientos
Quiero tener conmigo siempre al despertar
El cielo en cada beso y en ti todos mis sueños
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
No pensé estar tan loco por ti
Me doy cuenta que empiezo a ceder
Y me asusta saber el camino por donde pase
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
Porque cuando lo hice sufrí
Pero es fácil llegarte a querer
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Uh
Que estaba recuperado
Que había logrado cerrar con candado
Las puertas de mi alma después de un fracaso
Pero parece que el corazón
Se me quedo un poco abierto
Y al gusto de un beso nació un sentimiento
Que ya conocía y daba por muerto
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
No pensé estar tan loco por ti
Me doy cuenta que empiezo a ceder
Y me asusta saber el camino por donde pase
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
Porque cuando lo hice sufrí
Pero es fácil llegarte a querer
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Yo me jure no entregarme al amor
Como lo hice algún día
Jure que seria conmigo egoísta
Pero no conté con tu cara tan linda
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
No pensé estar tan loco por ti
Me doy cuenta que empiezo a ceder
Y me asusta saber el camino por donde pase
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
Porque cuando lo hice sufrí
Pero es fácil llegarte a querer
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Y desearte como a nadie igual
Sin miedo de expresar mis sentimientos
Quiero tener conmigo siempre al despertar
El cielo en cada beso y en ti todos mis sueños
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
No pensé estar tan loco por ti
Me doy cuenta que empiezo a ceder
Y me asusta saber el camino por donde pase
No pensé enamorarme otra vez
Porque cuando lo hice sufrí
Pero es fácil llegarte a querer
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Y a pesar de tratar no consigo dejarte de amar
Uh

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
