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.
Derrière chaque homme y'a une femme
Tout comme derrière chaque "je t'aime" devrait y avoir une flamme
Nos villes sont pleines de reines sans roi
À qui on fait subir des peines sans droit
On ne sait vivre avec, mais peux-tu vivre sans elle?
Sombre comme une rose sans couleur ou un oiseau sans ailes
On y comprend rien, même en changeant d'angle de vue
Le mystère féminin serait-il notre mystère le plus connu?
Il est facile de séduire et de rendre une femme amoureuse
Mais comment se conduire quand tu veux rendre une femme heureuse?
Des mots sans pensée, et des rancunes inavouées
La femme a ses raisons du cœur qu'on ne saisit jamais
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you, no!
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you
On leur donne si peu mais on attend tout d'elles
Alors notre vie à deux aboutit souvent à un duel
On rêve de ne faire qu'un, mais la question c'est "Lequel?"
Depuis quand l'égoïsme peut se conjuguer au pluriel?
La femme est surprenante, même son silence est un cri
En plus de l'écouter on devrait deviner ses non-dits
Doucement nous séparer comme les sentiments et l'esprit
Et au fond nous somme liés, je dirai comme le jour et la nuit
Nous sommes condamnés à accepter les compromis
Même si c'est se contenter de la moitié de se qu'on s'est promis
Loin de l'insouscience et de l'ignorance des premiers jours
Sur les routes de la différence on peut encore croiser l'amour
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you, no!
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you
No, no, no no, no no, you'll never know, know
No, no, no no, no no, you'll never know, know
No, no, no no, no no, you'll never know, know
No, no, no no, no no, you'll never know, know
Love me, love me, love me, no
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you, no!
You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you
Tout comme derrière chaque "je t'aime" devrait y avoir une flamme

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
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.
