He certainly did earn that reputation.
Another waste of headspace
Got dumb on the tracks and never knew the facts 'til I wised up
For years I been toe to toe with the heavy weights, never thought I'd size up
It's got me thinking 'bout the rise up
You said no strings attached and now you got me tied up
You talking that shit, and you're blowing that smoke
But your card got declined at the night club
And every single pointless conversation
Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out
I try to find the signs that might reveal the secret to what we're missing
But maybe time is all that we need now
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful?
I don't fuck with these mind games, babe
But if one thing's right, I saw with my own eyes
I know your tricks, don't act so proud
I'm moving up while you're slowing down
I own it now, and you want it now
And you can put it down, hey
You're nothing but a waste of headspace
And every single pointless conversation
Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out
I try to find the signs that might reveal the secret to what we're missing
But maybe time is all we need now
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful?
I don't fuck with these mind games, babe
But if one thing's right, I saw with my own eyes, oh yeah
You're a waste of space in my head
Hey-hey, you're a waste of space in my head, oh-oh
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful?
I don't fuck with these mind games, babe
But if one thing's right, I saw with my own eyes

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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.
I think it's about realizing something u thought was important is actually a waste of your time
