Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless
I don't want to smell you and lose my senses
And smile in slow motion with eyes in love
I twist like a corkscrew, the sweetness rising
I drink from the bottle weeping
Why won't you last?
Why can't you last?
So I will walk without care, beat my snare,
Look like a man who means business
Go to all the poshest places with the familiar faces
Terminate all signs of weakness
Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love
I will take my coffee black, never snack,
Hang with the wolves who are sheepish
Flow through the veins of town, always frown,
Me and my mistress the princess
Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love, yeah yeah
So the day Noah's Ark floats down Park, my eyes will be simply glazed over
Or better yet I'll wear shades on sunless days,
And when the sun's out I'll stay in and slumber
Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love
For the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love
Cause, I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless
I don't want to smell you and lose my senses,
And smile in slow motion with eyes in love
I don't want to smell you and lose my senses
And smile in slow motion with eyes in love
I twist like a corkscrew, the sweetness rising
I drink from the bottle weeping
Why won't you last?
Why can't you last?
So I will walk without care, beat my snare,
Look like a man who means business
Go to all the poshest places with the familiar faces
Terminate all signs of weakness
Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love
I will take my coffee black, never snack,
Hang with the wolves who are sheepish
Flow through the veins of town, always frown,
Me and my mistress the princess
Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love, yeah yeah
So the day Noah's Ark floats down Park, my eyes will be simply glazed over
Or better yet I'll wear shades on sunless days,
And when the sun's out I'll stay in and slumber
Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love
For the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love
Cause, I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless
I don't want to smell you and lose my senses,
And smile in slow motion with eyes in love

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I agree with YourPerfectVerse. totally.
