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.
You got lucky|Walking cross a crowded room|The cameras went from wide to zoom|And caught you in the act|Well now, you've got something|Something we could really use|If we could get you on the evening news|And spruce up the facts|We'd go straight to the moon|Planting the seeds|And then watching them bloom|But isn't it strange|What gets thrown up|Comes right back down again|Snuck out the back|With Nancy and the philistines|Quotes from Rolling Stone magazine|Dribble from her mouth|Oh now, please don't tell me|Let me have this one surprise|If I come back a million years from now|Can I keep my scalp|I go straight to the moon|Planting the seeds|And then watching them bloom|But isn't it strange|Once it goes out|It comes right back again|Ooh, we go straight through the moon|Turn on the tv and you're in the cartoons|Ooh, but isn't it strange|Once it goes out|It comes right back again Your co-conspirators|Open up the secret door|And now the truth is out|What are we gonna do about it|I'm not much on second hand information|Sycophantic recreations|Have been down with the smile|Now I rolled up my sleeves|And took off my good shoes|You can't get in and get loose|Without getting dirt in your eyes|Ooh, you go straight to the moon|Planting the seeds|And then watching them bloom|Ooh, isn't it strange|Once it goes up|It comes back down again|Ooh, it's too much too soon|Turn on the tv and I'm in the cartoons|Ooh, isn't it strange|What gets thrown up|Comes right back down again|Ooh|Ooh, straight to the moon|Turn on the tv and there's a cartoon|If it makes you happy

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
