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.
Itsumo to kawarazu, mezamashi no bell narihajimeru.
Nemui me kosuri bed o nukedasu.
Curtain ake taiyoo ni aisatsu. "Ohayoo."
Kyoo mo ichinichi ganbaroo.
Tookoo tochuu, densha no naka no deai.
Drama mitai na ren'ai kitai shiteru nante kisetsu no sei, nante omotte itara, kata tatakare.
E, watashi? Masaka !" Furimuku to genjitsu ni.
Sore ga kare to no hajimari.
Sore kara mainichi neru mae ni, teleme de oyasumi message.
Nichiyoobi ni wa eiga demo miyoo ne.
Machiawase wa IMS no mae de." Ii koto aru jan. Thank you, PAPER DOLL.
Are kara tanoshii mainichi ga tsuzuki, hantoshi to iu jikan ga tachi.
Nani ga kawatta wake demo nai noni, saikin kenka bakari, surechigai.

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.
