He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
You can walk away
But you can't forget what was said
And I can run away
Pull the covers over my head
Try to get away but I fall back again
I get up off the floor I'm coming back for more
(you need it you get some hate
You found it but it's too late)
Try to wear a smile and brush it all aside
I'm starting over now I'll try to sort it out somehow
(hope you're feeling better
I'm not bitter yet/ you're fading through the years)
I guess that I should stay
Stay around like I always do
'cause if I ran away
There's no place I'd be going to
More than anything I want to work it out
It's never easy when you're falling down again
(you need it you get some hate
You found it but it's too late)
I keep breaking down it's more than I can take
You pull me off the floor I'm coming back for more
(hope you're feeling better I'm not bitter yet
You're fading through the years)
Where in the hell do you think you are
And who ever thought you'd get this far
And was the travel worth the time
It's time to open up your mind
I choose to give the gift of sight
The right to choose to give a life
The right to die the right to teach
To think you're right but not to preach
I've often wondered where you've been
Could someone go through this again
Another journey down that road
Prepared to bear a heavy load
I gave you everything I could
I gave you everything I had
There's nothing left for me to say
I guess it's time to walk away
But you can't forget what was said
And I can run away
Pull the covers over my head
Try to get away but I fall back again
I get up off the floor I'm coming back for more
(you need it you get some hate
You found it but it's too late)
Try to wear a smile and brush it all aside
I'm starting over now I'll try to sort it out somehow
(hope you're feeling better
I'm not bitter yet/ you're fading through the years)
I guess that I should stay
Stay around like I always do

More than anything I want to work it out

You found it but it's too late)
I keep breaking down it's more than I can take

Where in the hell do you think you are

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.

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.
Nice track but slightly marred by the arrangement (scrap the keyboards!) and its always a jarring change from the first half of the album
