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.
Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster
Elbereth
Lorien
A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller's mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny
Master!...
Silvara
Starbreeze
Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!
Master!...
Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
A lot of this song is references to the Dragonlance novels.
Master! Apprentice!
Could easily refer to Dalamar and Raistlyn, who are also mentioned later in the song.
"I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Okay, there's no way you can have read the books and NOT know what that means. 'Shalafi' is Silnaesti elven for master/teacher, basically the same thing as 'sensei.' It's what Dalamar calls Raistlyn.
Silvara Starbreeze
Silvara the silver dragon and Alhanna Starbreeze.... sound familiar to anyone?
Sla-Mori the one known only by Him To august realms, the sorcery within If you hear the call of arcane lore, your world shall rest on Earth no more
The Sla-Mori, the 'secret way.' The companions used a Sla-Mori in the Chronicals. Presumably there are more than one in the world.
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song "Meet me at the Inn of last home" Heartborne will find the way
The Inn of the Last Home is in Solace, where the Companions met and drank.
(Noooo.... I haven't read those books WAY too many times...)
This song is about DragonLance and Lord of the Rings. Master = Raislin Majere Disciple = Dalamar, Raistlin's apprentice Elbereth = Is a Valar(a "god" in Middle-Earth's mithology), named Varda, creator of the Earth. Lorien = A magical forest of the elves in Middle-Earth. Shalafi = Raistlin Grey Havens = The last port of the elves in Middle-Earth Silvara = A silver dragon in the world of DragonLance Starbreeze = She is an elven princess in DragonLance 7th. Seeker = Tanis Half-Elven
This song refers to concepts from the 'Silmarillion', the history of middle earth. I think it's about a journey, probably to the Grey Havens, the undying lands where the elves go. "Master! Apprentice! Heartborne, 7th. seeker Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster" I think the above section is about someone with great potential to be everything - both a master and apprentice, a warrior etc. This person is at the destination. That's all I can say...since I haven't actually read the whole book...if you want to better interpret this song then read the book and it may help. PS I am sorry if this sucked, I just though I should write something here since there's nothing else about the meaning of the song.
Tuomas on this song: "This is my personal tribute to fantasy, especially the closest to me; Tolkien & Dragonlance. These worlds have become a sort of inverted reality for me, where the story of "The Kinslayer" can't become reality... Moreover, I don't believe in this thing called "destiny". We are the masters of our own wishes, beliefs and dreams. Whatever you desire enough, it can happen. Destiny is an excuse for those who don't have the strength to fulfil their wishes. Everything is possible. Even the impossible."
I agree with him.............
Yes, it seems to be mostly Dragonlance with some Tolkien thrown in at random points "Elbereth, Lorien, Grey Havens"
Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts and its Seven Guardians:
Master - Aqua
Apprentice - Sora
Heartborne - Kairi
7th Seeker - Lea
Warrior - Riku
Disciple - Ventus
Wishmaster - Mickey
If someone took enough time to listen to this entire song, it's a real power song. By the time it's over, you just wanna get up and go and really feel like you can take over the world. ^^;
Yeah i know what you mean, I wish i knew what Heartborne and 7th Seeker mean though :(
this is the best song for playing "Unreal Tournament" ITS GREAT
i like how shes yelling in the first part of the song
