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.
A little blind spider took the wheel
Navigatin' grass blades completely by feel
Got a sassy chassis, sparkle in the sun
All four small bald fat tires
Rockin' through the sand and burnin' up
Little dune buggy in the sand
Little blue dune buggy in my hand
Okay, I got a rubber band motor hummin' on the beach, ready for fun
Quit spinnin' that web and come out and play in the sun
Eight thimble sized cylinders to be as smooth as you please
Spider's bad ass fat old abdomen's stuck in the bucket seat
Little dune buggy in the sand
Little blue dune buggy in my hand
Squishy transmission was caught in drive
Spiderman was squintin' at the sand and the sky
Spiderwoman in the front seat, screamin' "Go, go, go"
He's ridin' the accelerator down to the floor with his fuzzy little toe
Little dune buggy in the sand
Little blue dune buggy in my hand
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Navigatin' grass blades completely by feel
Got a sassy chassis, sparkle in the sun
All four small bald fat tires
Rockin' through the sand and burnin' up
Little dune buggy in the sand
Little blue dune buggy in my hand
Okay, I got a rubber band motor hummin' on the beach, ready for fun
Quit spinnin' that web and come out and play in the sun
Eight thimble sized cylinders to be as smooth as you please
Spider's bad ass fat old abdomen's stuck in the bucket seat
Little dune buggy in the sand
Little blue dune buggy in my hand
Squishy transmission was caught in drive
Spiderman was squintin' at the sand and the sky
Spiderwoman in the front seat, screamin' "Go, go, go"
He's ridin' the accelerator down to the floor with his fuzzy little toe
Little dune buggy in the sand
Little blue dune buggy in my hand
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy
Little blue dune buggy

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
No Surprises

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
This song is the best. The whole record is great. Makes one laugh out loud when they listen to to words.
Dune buggy's are fun.
I honestly don't see how it has anything to do with sex... It seems a bit more innocent to me. Like maybe playing with a toy car while at the beach, using spiders as passengers, and in the end they got in an accident? Haha, that's what I see anyway.
You are retarded... this song is about a personified spider and his girlfriend out on a joy ride in a dune buggy.
A pretend adventure that a child would make up playing in a sandbox.
PUSA rocks. It's not sex. Im sure. Like many people are saying, it is probably about him as a kid (or maybe an adult even) playing in a sandbox or at the beach with a toy car, putting spiders in the passengers seats. PUSA likes making songs about nothing, sort of as a reaction to many songs about love with deep meanings of relationships and such. They just play whatever and have fun doing it. That's why they own.
Come on people, ANYTHING can be interpreted as sex these days - because people have made everything into double-meaning, and innuendoes. How someone could relate their genitals to an unattractive vehicle, i don't know.
But as stated. I think this song is pretty literal. One of those great ones to sing along to.
It sounds like a Steve Miller Band song...I love it. This is my second favorite album of ALL time.
Ahem It's about sex.
A good song that is off a great album.
DEFFINATELY NOT ABOUT PLAYING IN A SAND BOX. hahah i mean come on. "little blue dune buggy in my hand"-like your balls are blue because you haven't ya knowwww in a while, so the guy masterbates.
ANNDD "Spider woman in the front seat, screamin' "Go, Go, Go,""- deffinately sexual.
