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.
If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me
To future world
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be in future world
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy
We say the world tomorrow without fear
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay
'Cause we all live
In future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me future world
You say you'd like to stay
But this is not your time
Go back, find your own way to future world
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of future world
One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the world tomorrow without fear
The feeling of togetherness will I be at your side
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why
'Cause we all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me future world
Scream it out
We all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me future world
And you don't know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me
To future world
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be in future world
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy
We say the world tomorrow without fear
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay
'Cause we all live
In future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me future world
You say you'd like to stay
But this is not your time
Go back, find your own way to future world
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of future world
One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the world tomorrow without fear
The feeling of togetherness will I be at your side
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why
'Cause we all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me future world
Scream it out
We all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me future world

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
