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.
We took the heat we stood the pressure
We had to meet we stuck together
The hard times the bad signs
Only made us better
There will be stops we never listened
We flip the odds we went the distance
To stay true cus we knew
All that we've been missing
(They said)
Better safe then sorry
We wrote a different story
Should mean something
Out of nothing
All right now we managed somehow
The troubles are dawning happyless warning
All right now we managed somehow
The troubles are dawning happyless warning
(Aooooooooooooaooooo)
(Looks like we made it)
They tried to plot
That didn't play out
They dug a hole
We dug out way out
Its in here
The smoke is clear
That's all we have to say now
We really stood the pressure
Yeah we stuck together
I'm glad we did that
I'm so glad we did that
All right now we managed somehow
The troubles are dawning happyless warning
All right now we managed somehow
The troubles are dawning happyless warning
(Aooooooooooooaooooo)
(Looks like we made it)
(Aooooooooooooaooooo)
(Looks like we made it)
Look at us together
So growing strong
Who could do it better
Look at us together
We sure proved them wrong
Looks like we made it
Looks like we made it
Ooo made it
We sure proved them wrong
(Aooooooooooooaooooo)
All right now we managed somehow
The troubles are dawning happyless warning
(Happyless warning)
All right now we managed somehow
The troubles are dawning happyless warning
Looks like we made it
Looks like we made it
(Looks like we made it)
Ooo we made it
(Aooooooooooooaooooo)
Looks like we made it
(Looks like we made it)
We had to meet we stuck together
The hard times the bad signs
Only made us better
There will be stops we never listened
We flip the odds we went the distance
To stay true cus we knew

(They said)
Better safe then sorry
We wrote a different story

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
