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.
The Noose of Jah City
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain
Felt the same i'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate a loss of faith
Now I'm surrounded
They saw me fall from here
But not hit the ground and I's been dying
The body found and my soul was left to drown
Suffocated in concrete it took a hold of me
Put me on repeat now your last routine
And you start to leave towards an escape
But I feel sustained
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain
Felt the same i'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate a loss of faith
These walls got taller
I start to lose the sense of life
The rubicon's a warning
As I see they're washing away my pride
And in the tide
I saw the crimes I passed them by
I wonder why? I question why?
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain
Felt the same i'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate a loss of faith
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain
Felt the same i'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate a loss of faith
Now I'm surrounded
They saw me fall from here
But not hit the ground and I's been dying
The body found and my soul was left to drown
Suffocated in concrete it took a hold of me
Put me on repeat now your last routine
And you start to leave towards an escape
But I feel sustained
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain
Felt the same i'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate a loss of faith
These walls got taller
I start to lose the sense of life
The rubicon's a warning
As I see they're washing away my pride
And in the tide
I saw the crimes I passed them by
I wonder why? I question why?
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain
Felt the same i'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate a loss of faith

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

The Noose of Jah City
remember to put that in italics
After listening closely, I believe these are the more accurate lyrics.s
It eats away at your brain As your strength to try and maintain felt the same And what was to blame
It took my days Out of place and into grace and nauseate I lost the faith
And I surrounded They saw me fall from heaven not hit the ground And I's been dyin' But he's found my soul's left to drown
Suffocated in concrete It took a hold of me Put me on repeat Now your life's routine And you start to lean Towards an escape But I feel sustained
It eats away at your brain As strength to try and maintain felt the same And what what was to blame It took my days out of place and into grace and nauseate I lost the faith
These walls grow too large I start to lose the sense of life The room becomes a warning as I see they're washing away my pride
And in the tide I saw the crimes that passed them by I wondered why I questioned why
It eats away at your brain As your strength to try and maintain felt the same And what was to blame It took my days out of place and into grace and nauseate I lost the faith
