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.
Well it's Christmas time
And I'm warm inside
Despite the bitter cold
'Cause you're here with me
And I guarantee
My heart is yours to hold
So we smile below
This mistletoe
As if we need a hint
And the falling snow
Well, I bet it knows
How love can pull you in
Oh (da, da, da, da, da)
Little lights flash in your eyes (da, da, da, da, da)
Glowing by the fireside (da, da, da, da, da)
Leave the presents on the floor (da, da, da, da, da)
'Cause you're the one I'm waitin' for
Oh, let me lead the way this holiday
Let's fly around the world tonight, oh, yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
I love the way you hold me tight, oh, yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time (da, da, da, da, da)
Little lights flash in your eyes (da, da, da, da, da)
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time (da, da, da, da, da)
Can't fight the way I feel inside (da, da, da, da, da)
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
Oh, let me lead the way this holiday
Well, it's Christmas time
And I'm warm inside
Despite the bitter cold
And it's crystal clear
That this Christmas cheer
Is healthy for the soul
Oh (da, da, da, da, da)
Little lights flash in your eyes (da, da, da, da, da)
Glowing by the fireside (da, da, da, da, da)
Leave the presents on the floor (da, da, da, da, da)
'Cause you're the one I'm waiting for
Oh, let me lead the way this holiday, this holiday
Let's fly around the world tonight, whoa
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
I love the way you hold me tight, oh, yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time (da, da, da, da, da)
Little lights flash in your eyes (da, da, da, da, da)
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time (da, da, da, da, da)

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
