Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
Think I'll just give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Neither side is sacred
Crawling in my hole

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
But I can't give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
When I'm in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Oh

Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
But I just give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
Crawling in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Oh

    Yes, turtles in the bathtub. How awesome. Yes, Neon, that is the metaphor kurt is using, and I thought the same way you did at first. But after hearing Sappy (an earlier, acoustic version of this song) I realized its not about a man-woman relationship, but our relationship with god. We have no relationship, he's our captor, we're in our jar, wallowing in our shit. awesome song.

    It is cut yourself.

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
