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.

This is vocal detection
Front line open intellection
Outlining all his imperfections
This is his fucking confession
Right now you cause that what
Screaming you want it and more
Sit down ambassador reference
Right now your voice is a weapon
Wake up to stars in the sky
Watch light revolve with your mind
Watch all the storms rising
And put all your palms in the sky
No more falling to pressure
No more failing acceptance
Throw all your hells towards the heavens
'Cause your voice is a weapon
(Dan)
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms
(Angel Haze)
We dance with the devils
And make your halos the color of sinner's portraits
And smothering it means everything's lovely again
Nothing's quite as it seems
Society's all a disease
Kill all your fear in your sleep
'Cause everything's formed in a dream
Breathe in insanity's grip
Words from insanity's lips
Falling from sanity's cliff
Watching your vanity slip
No more falling to pressure
No more failing acceptance
Throw all your hells towards the heavens
'Cause your voice is a weapon
(Dan)
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms
Pressure that deepen the cut
When will the evil erupt?
Volcanic fever is lost
That shit will even it out
Pressure is feeding the dust
Rap is keeping the cut
Vengeance is me speaking up
This is me speaking up
And your voice is a weapon
This is vocal confession
And we're shooting you down, down, down
And your voice is a weapon
This is vocal confession
And we're shooting you down, down, down
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms
Choose your voice and etch that on your soul
Make them heard when crowds drown out your cold
Leave behind your questions
Silent thoughts and mentions
The wake has to be left so never fall to
Your voice is a weapon
So do with it what you can
Your voice is a weapon
So do with it what you can
Leave behind your questions
Silent thoughts and mentions
Your voice is a weapon
So do with it what you can
This is vocal detection
Front line open intellection
Outlining all his imperfections
This is his fucking confession
Right now you cause that what
Screaming you want it and more
Sit down ambassador reference
Right now your voice is a weapon
Wake up to stars in the sky
Watch light revolve with your mind
Watch all the storms rising
And put all your palms in the sky
No more falling to pressure
No more failing acceptance
Throw all your hells towards the heavens
'Cause your voice is a weapon
(Dan)
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
And your voice is a weapon
And we'll do with it what we can
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms again
I'll fall into your arms
(Angel Haze)
We dance with the devils
And make your halos the color of sinner's portraits

Leave behind your questions
Silent thoughts and mentions
Your voice is a weapon
So do with it what you can

@[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.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
