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.
Suerte que en el sur hayas nacido
Y que burlemos las distancias
Suerte que es haberte conocido
Y por ti amar tierras extrañas
Yo puedo escalar los Andes solo
Por ir a contar tus lunares
Contigo celebro y sufro todo
Mis alegrías y mis males
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Suerte que es tener labios sinceros
Para besarte con más ganas
Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños
Y nos los confundas con montañas
Suerte que heredé las piernas firmes
Para correr si un día hace falta
Y estos dos ojos que me dicen
Que han de llorar cuando te vayas
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le-lo-lo
Y la felicidad
Tiene tu
Nombre y tu piel
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Ya sabes mi vida
Estoy hasta el cuello por ti
Si sientes algo así
Quiero que te quedes junto a mí
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Ya sabes mi vida
Estoy hasta el cuello por ti
Si sientes algo así
Quiero que te quedes junto a mí
Y que burlemos las distancias
Suerte que es haberte conocido
Y por ti amar tierras extrañas
Yo puedo escalar los Andes solo
Por ir a contar tus lunares
Contigo celebro y sufro todo
Mis alegrías y mis males
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Suerte que es tener labios sinceros
Para besarte con más ganas
Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños
Y nos los confundas con montañas
Suerte que heredé las piernas firmes
Para correr si un día hace falta
Y estos dos ojos que me dicen
Que han de llorar cuando te vayas
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Le-ro-lo-le-lo-le-lo-lo
Y la felicidad

Nombre y tu piel
Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida

Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Ya sabes mi vida
Estoy hasta el cuello por ti
Si sientes algo así
Quiero que te quedes junto a mí

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
