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.
Yo it's three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, hero, not no small feat
It's all heat in this day and age,
I raid your grave,
Anything it takes to save the day
Neuromancer, perfect blend of technology and magic
Use my rappin' so you all could see the hazards
Plus entertainment where many are brainless
We cultivated the lost art of study and I brought a buddy
Automator harder slayer fascinating combinations
cyber warlords are activating abominations
arm a nation with hatred we ain't with that
we high-tech archeologists searching for nicknacks
composing musical stimpacks that impacts the song
crack the mould what you think you rappin' for?
I used to be a mech soldier but I didn't respect orders
I had to step forward, tell them this ain't for us
living in a post-apocalyptic world morbid and horrid
the secrets of the past they horded
now we just borded on a futuristic spacecraft
no mistakes black its our music we must take back
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Del I'm feeling like a ghost in a shell
I wrote this in jail playing host to a cell
for the pure verbal, they said my sentance was equivalent to murder
just another hurdle, I bounced through a portal
I knew they had the mindstate of mere mortals
my ears morphed to receptors to catch ya
every word about gravity control
and the families they hold for handsome ransoms
on the run with a handgun blast bioforms, I am more
than a planetwide manhunt with cannons
will make me abondon my foolish plan of uprising
fuck dying I hijack a mech
controlling with my magical chance so battle advance
through centuries a hip hop legacy, megaspeed
hyperwarp to automator's crib and light the torch
they can't fight the force,
victory is ours once we strike the source
enterprising wise men look to the horizon
thinking more capitalism is the wisdom
and in prison all citizens in power with rhythm
we keep the funk alive by talking with idioms
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
isn't eternal evil concerned with thievery
medieval prehistoric rhetoric well we ahead of that
lay it down with soundwaves that pound pavement
original menstrals my central processing unit
is in tune with my heart for this art
not artificial cause that makes it hard to miss you
copy cats finish last in the human race
staying glued to safes to prude to take a buddah brak
we got espers that let us bless with fresh shit
undetected by yes men questing for five fleeting nanoseconds of fame
protecting the brain from conspiracies against my cosmos
while I float to neo-Tokyo with opio
or discuss combusitible rust clusters with plus
evade cyber police in a computer crib confuse the kids
but I can make a kickin rhymes thats sacred
telepathic mind that takes its greatness from the matrix esper
rhyme professor rushes in ultra pressures with correction measures
why half the worlds a desert
cannibals eat human brains for dessert
buried under deap dirt, mobility innert
I insert these codes for the cataclysm
ever since I had the vision use my magnitism
in this modern metropolis they tries to lock us up
under preposterous laws thats not for us
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Sick beat to go along with Del's flow. Honestly, listen to this song high, and it is even more amazing.
I think this song is about how we as whole on planet earth are living as robots proned to do the same thing the same way, as its been since the begining of time, leading up to death...the the apocolypse....death
I agree with Scienceboy's lyrics changes. Plus, it's not just Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, it's also Kid Koala and Dan the Automator.
The plot of the album seems to be a Star Wars -esque, rap-themed sci-fi thriller about Deltron and his sidekicks travelling through space and saving the universe. Loose translation, but i think it's reasonably accurate. It takes a special kind of weirdo to make a concept soundtrack to a fictional movie. And i mean that in a 100% positive way.
I also agree with evin about the underlying social commentary. If you look at the album's lyrics, it's pretty obvious that the album deals with things like the apocalypse, identikit people who are all image, crime, power, technology, etc. It may have a goofball exterior, but like a lot of Del's work, there's messages too. To use an ironic quote, "if u knew anything about del u would understand". Mrjonlovem goes a little bit overboard with that, he gets a little biblical-sounding, but he 's basically just picking up on the subtext of the songs.
ayeone and numinus are both idiots... the rest of you, I agree with on some or most levels and am really pleased to see some intelligent posts one here. Del is the man and 3030 is his finest work in my opinion. Dan the automator and Kid Koala kill every beat on this albumn and of course Del delivers like no one else can. The concept album being a story formatted description of life in the year 3030, with social critiques of the problems that will be happening then which are only a mirror or a projection of what social problems we are seeing today. I think the Star Wars reference is a little to direct and since we do know Del and know that he is an avid comic book reader, that a lot of his nerdy material deviates from that and video games more so than the popular default of Star Wars. Anyway, I definitely agree with damn near everything that has been written though and am glad that Del fans are feelin it in the right ways. Del is the shit and I hope he never stops. I hope I die before he does... that might be going a little far but you get the point.
great job on the transcription, better than i can do! i just suggest a few things i thought were diff. 1st verse - raid your grave, instead of rage your grave? and also instead of "crack the motor what you think you rappin for?" i thought maybe "crack the mould of what you think yo' rappin for"
hell ya!
you're both right. in case YOU [or u, as you put it] had understood anything, numinus, you would have seen the underlying social commentary throughought the entire album. yes, it is a story, but it is a story with a meaning.
the whole cd is the story about the character Deltron Zero and his buddies Cantankerous Captain Aptos and Skiznod the Boy Wonder on the quest to win back Earths music.
just a note re: "that or he is just using words he heard while watching japanese animation."
NOT likely... There is some geeky shit in this album. consider the line "Hydrogen becomes Helium when I shine..." (from tr7 "Virus" iirc)
"Hydrogen turned to helium when I shine" is a lyric from track 4 "Things You Can Do"
yo this song is suppose to relate to the state of earth in the year 3030, hence the whole album goes in that manner. they are trying to save music.
