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.
(This goes out to the radio stations
going out to you...)
Lucy, I've confessions
I don't think you ought to know
Lets just sit back
Forget about what's past
You see my longs are wet with age
Beyond what I can show
This is the first time
It's not the last
it's not the last
And it's been long since i've moved
Long since I've grooved on
And now my empty chorus falls on empty ears
Since I left LA days ago
The concert made me crave the shows
And times when I could be more cavalier
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
Holding onto what is right
The truth escaped me twice last night
In clouds of smoke and scattered ash
With visions of an empty hall
While wiggers crowd the shopping malls
And overzealous DJ's that ghetto blasted rap
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
hey..
(Chicka uh)
Lucy, I've confessions I dont think you want to know
let's just sit back
forget about what's past
you see there are places that we shouldn't go
and not so fast
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
don't don't don't don't
look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede

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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
