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.
I walk this road alone
I fear to meet you once
if I won’t see you now
this way won’t bring me far
I walk this road alone
unbreakable
another black hole
is just a stumble not a fall
when I stumble hold me
starring in my eyes
in my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
when I stumble sober me
holding me tight
course In my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
I walk this road alone
I walk this road alone
let us doubt, doubt together
if we should, if we should ever
ever come back
I’ve been running for too long
can hardly catch my breath
till my feet touch this ground
my drive never ends
there on the other side
I feel your single soul
that’s where I realize
I’m back to where I started from
when I stumble hold me
starring in my eyes
in my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
when I stumble sober me
holding me tight
course In my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
I walk this road alone
I walk this road alone
let us doubt, doubt together
if we should, if we should ever
ever come back
I fear to meet you once
if I won’t see you now
this way won’t bring me far
I walk this road alone
unbreakable
another black hole
is just a stumble not a fall
when I stumble hold me
starring in my eyes
in my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
when I stumble sober me
holding me tight
course In my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
I walk this road alone
I walk this road alone
let us doubt, doubt together
if we should, if we should ever
ever come back
I’ve been running for too long
can hardly catch my breath
till my feet touch this ground
my drive never ends
there on the other side
I feel your single soul
that’s where I realize
I’m back to where I started from
when I stumble hold me
starring in my eyes
in my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
when I stumble sober me
holding me tight
course In my fragile world
with my creeping lies
I’m running on flat tires
I walk this road alone
I walk this road alone
let us doubt, doubt together
if we should, if we should ever
ever come back

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this song is about a worn & weary soul who is using everything they have left to keep going, to escape their past demons but no matter what they do or where they go, those demons always catch up to them & creep back into their lives.
