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 see you when the night falls
But never when the light breaks through
I don't know what I'm here for
I'm hiding from the blinding truth
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I need you to save me
Like you've done before
That moment of madness when we lose it all
You stun me to silence
I'm climbing the walls
I gotta find it, find it, find it
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Something in the water
Or maybe it's the way you move
Turns me in to a monster
It's a hunger that I can't refuse
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I need you to save me
Like you've done before
That moment of madness when we lose it all
You stun me to silence
I'm climbing the walls
I gotta find it, find it, find it
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Gonna find it
Gonna find it
Gonna find it, find it, find it
I see you when the night falls
But never when the light breaks through
Something in the water
Or maybe it's the way you move
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
But never when the light breaks through
I don't know what I'm here for
I'm hiding from the blinding truth
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I need you to save me
Like you've done before
That moment of madness when we lose it all
You stun me to silence
I'm climbing the walls
I gotta find it, find it, find it
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Something in the water
Or maybe it's the way you move
Turns me in to a monster
It's a hunger that I can't refuse
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I need you to save me
Like you've done before
That moment of madness when we lose it all
You stun me to silence
I'm climbing the walls
I gotta find it, find it, find it
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling

Gonna find it
Gonna find it
Gonna find it, find it, find it
I see you when the night falls
But never when the light breaks through
Something in the water
Or maybe it's the way you move
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
