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.
Last week I flew to san diego to see my antie
On day 1 I met her hot step daughter
She's a cheerleader, she is a virgin and she is really tan
As she stepped out of her massive car
I could only notice she was more than fuckable
I think she was coming back from the game or something
Cause she was holding those silly pompoms
On day 2 I fucked her and it was wild
She is such a slut
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was dirty a dream came true
Just like I like it she's got nice tits
It was perfect a dream came true
Just like a song by blink182
ok listen girls
I met the hottest guy ever
Basically as I was stepping out of my s.u.v.
I came face to face with my step cousin or whatever
Who cares
Anyway he was wearing skinny jeans had funky hair
And the cutest british accent ever
Straight away I could tell he was a rocker
With his sexy attitude and the way he looked at me
Mmm he is totally awesome
Oh my god I think I'm in love
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was dirty a dream came true
Just like I like it she's got nice tits
It was perfect a dream came true
Just like a song by blink182
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was so nice to meet you
Pleasure is mine I do like you
Come to cancun for springbreak
Ill think about it it could be great.
And don't forget he send me a "friend request".
As if.

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.

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.
this song is actually pretty sad. but they ARE both douchebags...
I have a few corrections.
Rather than "and i met her step daughter" it's "on day one I met her hot step daughter."
"I could only notice she was more than fuckable."
He says "she was holding that silly pom-pom," not "her stick and pom-pom."
The girl's line in the chorus is actually "It was perfect a dream came true/ Just like a song by Blink-182."
At the very end, after she says "And don't forget to send me a friend request," he says "As if!"
Uh, this song is a joke. Like really, some of you are taking it too seriously.
This song is nothing but making fun of Americans and English -- The SUV/Massive Car, the fact that she's a cheerleader, Cancun for spring break, friend requests. She plays the superficial American who still drives an SUV and doesn't give a damn about anything outside of her own immediate life. He plays the uncivilized, brutish Englishman that the French have been talking about for 500 years.
Still a good tune, though.
Yeah, it's basically a story based on a bunch of throw away stereotypes coming from a group of horny French hipsters. Not exactly my cup of tea.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!! AND THE VIDEO ITS GREAAATTT

I'm sure that it varies between "I fucked my American cunt"

"I fucked my American cousin"
