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.
When I cross the graveyard, I hear the lamentations of the victim
I'm turning to a maniac, demented, "stick a javelin in him"
Slice his head with a machete, and drain the blood from his veins
scrape his brains out like Spaghetti, feed the lion his remains
She cried, Nobody heard her, Never covered her, when she lying on the road , disturbed her
Fuck the law, I wish it never existed, "What the fuck you waiting for?" "A twisted Christmas list??"
hang the motherfuckers, Don't act like you don't bother, If you delay, you would agonize on the grave of your young daughter..
Yes, I'm crazy, I'm lunatic, I would murder these motherfuckers then burn them with gasoline..
Think the life of the father who raised her, helpless, broken and naked.
reading the newspaper, Controversies of motherfuckers who raped her.
"C'mon, Whats up with this world?", "Why would you negotiate about these sinners like interest rates?"
You gotta hang em up! there's no doubt about it..
The truth is these bitches work for the government and they unnamed about it..
Listen to our voices, "Why the fuck are we paying taxes??"
Fuck the media, think this would happen to them, "Would they relax then??"
they just wanna capture the scene, but none of you bastards could feel her cry, lying on the road unconcealed and peeled..
wished they foreseen the day, If they stopped for some caffeine, or something between
that man was helpless. all he could do was scream, All you did was watch her, laugh at her..
a sweater would suffice, NO!!! just wetter got his eyes, "realized which was better??" or click a share for this open letter..
I say chop their balls and let them watch the video..
Upload the mix and give them free download..
Oh wait honey Singh sued for his crime to obscene lyrics..
"Since when did the government forget that he has got another "P" in him??"
This shit is getting serious, be prepared for the sinning,
There's gonna be a day when law protects the ones who pee in it..
failure flop flunkies rape, who cant find a girl friend.
Damn! motherfucker stick your cock in a grinder if you can't find one..
M raged mane!! M turning the mob into ya..
You better take a decision before your mom gets to ya..
slaughter them cowards, chicken heads, wicked men !!
Hang them high in the air where we all can fucking see them!
People get killed for opposing shit,
But I'm sure he'd die a death for a cause Cuz he's fighting this..
"Are you fine up there miss?" I know you up there listening, I bet the people who read this message would understand my Diss..
Rest with no peace until I shred the heads of these men and feed you a piece..!!

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

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.
