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.
In the tall skyscrapers of ancient Japan
Lived two great warriors, a dude and a man
Who proclaimed no sex until you are married
They were Arin Neverbone and Samurai Barry
500 years later, two heroes were born
One clothed in blue spandex, the other in scorn
They were Ninja Sex Party, they had but one quest:
To bring sex to the masses, 'cause that shit is the best!
In a super hot orgy with ten girls and a mime
Danny thrusted so hard he ripped a hole in space-time
Each hump could be seen in the ancient night sky
Graphic shots of Dan's nuts were in healthy supply
Arin and Barry knew they had to act fast
They jumped through to the future 'cause they were dicks from the past
They landed two feet from where NSP was rocking
And screamed, "Danny, it's your cock that we now will be blocking!"
Samurai Abstinence Patrol
To control all our junk is their one true goal
It's a battle for boners and rock and roll
Ninja Brian will stab them in the soul (And the face!)
What could this mean for Ninja Sex Party?
Will our heroes be stopped from their boning spree?
And will Danny get first place in his spelling bee?
The championship word is "nomenclature!"
Uh... N... O... C
FUCK IT!
The orgy ground to a halt and they took it outside
The girls just went home, the mime probably died
Brian ran at Arin while Barry started screaming
Could we really have a future in a world without creaming?
All hell broke loose with the insane war cry
Arin soared through the air. Apparently, he can fly
Danny French kissed a girl like he was king of Versailles
Brian stabbed some random guy with a different guy
The battle raged on 'til the city was wrecked
But the two sides began to have a mutual respect
"Goddamn!" Arin yelled. "You must sure love to slam!"
"You don't even know, " said Danny. "That shit is my jam!"
A union was formed between both rival camps
And they both started rocking using NSP's amps
But the ceasefire ended and the battle resumed
'Cause Danny whipped out his nuts and the alliance was doomed
Samurai Abstinence Patrol
Now their tale will be passed down in sacred scrolls
They were voted "most douchey" in a recent poll
Independently conducted by Danny and Brian
Is the story over or has it just begun?
Has the battle for boning been lost or won?
The question is a deep and important one
Just like how in God's name do you spell "nomenclature"?
Here we go: N... R...
This is literally fucking impossible!

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.

@[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.
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.
