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.
Darling
I can stay awake all night
But I would make mistakes, alright
And the body asks so much
Sweet thing
I give you what I reach
Taken what I had to teach
And re-rendered it with such
With such
With such
O, it don't rain anymore
I go outdoors
Where it's fun to be
I can stay awake all night
But I would make mistakes, alright
And the body asks so much
Sweet thing
I give you what I reach
Taken what I had to teach
And re-rendered it with such
With such
With such
O, it don't rain anymore
I go outdoors
Where it's fun to be

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

Bee Gees
@[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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
missing 2 lines at the end, 'and I know you love me I know you do'
one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
The last line's delivery has always intrigued me, its almost left hanging(the first time I heard this I had to check my mp3 to see if the song had indeed stopped). It almost turns the affirmation of someones love around and questions it without really doing so.
Don't really know why I wrote this given that the last comment was posted near-enough a year ago, guess this song just deserves a little more love.
To me, those last lines is exactly where the song needed to end anyway. "And I know you love me/I know you do..." The fact that he doesn't say it just once, he adds "I know you do" really makes it sound like he's trying to convince himself and possibly the subject of the song that he/she DOES love him. Of course, my interpretation is that this is a dream/illusion and he's just trying to convince himself that one day, this person will love him.
@Oxenbrigg Yeah, "I go outdoors where it's fun to be" does not sound very convincing either and the way it is delivered I think supports your ironic interpretation.
the greatest song under 2 minutes ever written.
... and I know you love me.
Such a beautiful, happy, and damned depressing song.
possibly my favorite song ever... spare but not small. and perfect.
that last couplet breaks my heart every fucking time. ''...and i know you love me. i know you do...'' unbelievable song.
this song is perfect. devastatingly hopeful.
