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.
Now you're gone, I wonder why you left me here
I think about it on, and on and on, and on and on again
I know you're never coming back, I hope that you can hear me
I'm waiting to hear from you
Until I do
You're gone away, I'm left alone
A part of me is gone and I'm not moving on
So wait for me, I know the day will come
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me to
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you here
I'll meet you there
I wish I could have told you
The words I kept inside
But now I guess it's just to late
So many things remind me of you
I hope that you can hear me (hear me)
I miss you (I miss you), his is goodbye (bye)
One last time
You're gone away, I'm left alone
A part of me is gone and I'm not moving on
So wait for me, I know the day will come
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me to
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you here
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me to
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you here
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
And where I go, you'll be there with me
Forever, you'll be right here with me
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you
I'll meet you there
(I'll meet you, I'll meet you)
(I'll meet you, I'll meet you)
I'll meet you there
(I'll meet you, I'll meet you)
(I'll meet you)
I'll meet you there
I think about it on, and on and on, and on and on again
I know you're never coming back, I hope that you can hear me
I'm waiting to hear from you
Until I do
You're gone away, I'm left alone
A part of me is gone and I'm not moving on
So wait for me, I know the day will come
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me to
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you here
I'll meet you there
I wish I could have told you
The words I kept inside
But now I guess it's just to late
So many things remind me of you
I hope that you can hear me (hear me)
I miss you (I miss you), his is goodbye (bye)
One last time
You're gone away, I'm left alone
A part of me is gone and I'm not moving on
So wait for me, I know the day will come
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me to
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you here
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me to
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you here
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
And where I go, you'll be there with me
Forever, you'll be right here with me
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you
I'll meet you there
No matter where life takes me
I'll meet you there
And even if I need you
I'll meet you there
(I'll meet you, I'll meet you)
(I'll meet you, I'll meet you)
I'll meet you there
(I'll meet you, I'll meet you)
(I'll meet you)
I'll meet you there

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.
No Surprises

Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
