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.
Don't you want to let go of your heart
Or you resist the beds of bliss
Fortune makes fools of us all
My dear materialista, silence was insane,
The parting was mutual.
Don't you want the rocket to rock out?
There's room for us both to fly.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Why should you notice at all?
Gone again beside you will fall
Down to the sea out of the skies
Of gold cards and casual tears
I have only come to see you shine
Feminine smiles the right side is wise, more than I.
I want to be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror.
Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter
And be one with all you disowned in your young life.
You paranoia politician diva.
You paranoia politician diva.
Will you let go of your heart,
Left behind a hypnotizing swirl
The semi's left behind.
Don't you want to rocket to rock?
There's room for both of us to fly
Same show everyday, don't have to blow up in the sky.
So I just came from Hicks town,
Left my coins behind
Maybe some poor cloths pony will himself a life
Why should you care if I crash your affair?
Why should you notice me? I really want to see you shine.
I want to be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror.
Now, be one with all you disown,
True love has come to us all.
Blinded by the flame, right side smiles,
Organized male, love, my silence was insane.
The parting was mutual the moment I became
A paranoia politician
Diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
Diva, diva, diva
Or you resist the beds of bliss
Fortune makes fools of us all
My dear materialista, silence was insane,
The parting was mutual.
Don't you want the rocket to rock out?
There's room for us both to fly.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Why should you notice at all?
Gone again beside you will fall
Down to the sea out of the skies
Of gold cards and casual tears
I have only come to see you shine
Feminine smiles the right side is wise, more than I.
I want to be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror.
Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter
And be one with all you disowned in your young life.
You paranoia politician diva.
You paranoia politician diva.
Will you let go of your heart,
Left behind a hypnotizing swirl
The semi's left behind.
Don't you want to rocket to rock?
There's room for both of us to fly
Same show everyday, don't have to blow up in the sky.
So I just came from Hicks town,
Left my coins behind
Maybe some poor cloths pony will himself a life
Why should you care if I crash your affair?
Why should you notice me? I really want to see you shine.
I want to be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror.
Now, be one with all you disown,
True love has come to us all.
Blinded by the flame, right side smiles,
Organized male, love, my silence was insane.
The parting was mutual the moment I became
A paranoia politician
Diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
Diva, diva, diva

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.

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”
I think maybe this song could be about the speaker trying to relase somebody from parts of their life that they are bound to in order to allow them to start a relationship with someone again and reassuring them that this time it will be different as they will be taken care of. The person who is being addressed in the past has perhaps been mistreated by former partner(s). Yet the speaker can't seem to be able to help this person at all and if he does it's always just a series of tempory fixes until it crumbles again and leads the speaker to believe it's all just for attention and starts to get angry and agressive about this towards the end of the song
"same show everyday, don't have to bow up the sky. why should you care if i crash your affair? why should you notice me? "
yet the yearning for the heart of this person still remains with the speaker but he can't waste anymore time so decides to leave this person alone to their own devices.
i really wanna see you shine i wanna be your lover
lipstick my name across your mirror now, be one with all you disown.
Peace Out ( all that was probably me talking crap hehehehe)
@Midnight Resistance I came here to look up the lyrics and what other people think and you hit the nail right on the head. I get the same massages up until maybe the last part where I interpreted differently. Maybe the song is partly about the speaker himself -- and that both are paranoid political divas lol. Don't forget that the parting was 'mutual' so it's just not one party abandoning the other.
It's probably in my top five favourite Buckley Songs.
It has a color and Emotion Landscape to it, that I really love, and only get with songs that connect with me personally, and that's how I feel about This Stunning Song.
It shocks me what little imagination people seem to have.
This Song, was going to Rule The World.
Like All His Others
I'm honoured that I am the first, yet a little bewildered that noone has commented, what the?! Anywho, I think this song is sweet. "I wanna be Your Lover" ...Swoon.. I'll Lipstick your name across my mirror any time
This song rocks. He reaches his highest note recorded on this track, on "the semi's left behind" that last note on "behind" always creeps me out a tad. This song is just beautiful in a ..weird creepy rockstar industry puppet way.

Considering Jeff used his fingers to tap the beat on his microphone, this song is just pure pleasure. Like Murder Meteor Suicide Slave, don't be put off by the sound quality - the lyrics are great.
i really love the song though it's very special and has quite a sentimental feel to it ...
I love the roughness of it. Another song that, like "Meteor.." isn beautiful in it's rough, disturbing quality. Great Riff too
LOVE IT
Though not my Favourite (It's still highly ranked Right up there), It Is Possibly the most Influential Song on me.
