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.
The other ones are complete bullshit
You want something corny?
You got it
There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it
There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it
And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me
The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
You want something corny?
You got it
There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it
There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it
And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me
The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day
And it would be okay on any other day

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.

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”
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned this until now. I've never thought much of this song musically, purposely sung badly and with some odd lines thrown in ("when the wombat comes"...wtf?), but it really comes together for me in the end.
It would be ok on any other day, but what's so special about this day? A lot of folks have never listened closely enough to hear amongst the final repeated refrain the reason why. Listen to what the children are singing: "Happy birthday, dear daddy, happy birthday, to you."
Yeah, dude. Sucks to be you.
Ah ! Thank you ! Never heard that birthday line before.<br />
ive heard that in the back round of it at the end but iv never noticed thats what it was saying
The lyrics are hilarious! I love that sarcastic tone included. As for the meaning, it's similar to "Synchronicity II"; a man who can't deal with his family problems anymore - only here the situation is described in a less dark and serious way.
Wow! I never noticed they said "Happy Birthday Daddy" at the end, the mindblowing part of the story got muddled in the final mix, unfortunately. And Stewart Copeland proves to be the real boss having the idea for what it would turn out into Synchronicity II first.
This is admittedly a pretty dorky comic relief number (during the intro Stewart Copeland even says "Wanna hear something really corny? here goes!"), but I kinda like it. Going by the singles you'd never really expect a Police song to feature lines like "My teenage daughter ran away, my fine young son has turned out gay", so that aspect of it is pretty fun. The meaning is pretty obvious: You can have what looks like a pretty comfortable suburban life on the surface, but still have to deal with all kinds of frustrating problems.
the first spoken words I hear are "The other ones are complete bullshit," <br /> I wonder what that is about? other songs?
Okay, let's concentrate on the lesser stuff. As somebody who's deeply convinced of the Police being rock's greatest musical outfit since the 'Golden Age', I find it useless to bitch about whether there is or there isn't any filler on here - some of the tunes might be considered "filler" by the band's standards, just as some of the Beatles' tunes might be considered "filler" by their standards, but they're all good. The only tune which hardly does anything for me is Copeland's 'On Any Other Day'; it's pretty funny, but sounds rather scattered and lacks a distinct hookline as opposed to everything else. Yes, everything else does have distinct hooklines, including the rest of Copeland's stuff. Chris Welch may hate the guy, dismissing ninety percent of his compositions, but how can one really dismiss 'Contact', when that rumbling bassline and deep booming vocals in the verses gotta be the scariest moment on the whole record?
