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.
Walk through the light to find a your shadow
Till your God stole you from the edge
Sank in the thought to feel the distance
Was it your secret?
Stop holding your fear
Let memory live and die alone
Oh will you be there,
Let your desire scream, ’till you feel alive
‘Cause you are beautiful, your scars are beautiful, Like the jade
You’ll still shine, when you sink into the sea
When all the bleeding scarlet jealousy carves away your belief
Made of the lime, the wings of the night,
Looking through the eyes of fallen angels
Sink like a stone into the dark
where no light can touch
Will God break my fall? I feel the mystery
Tries to take me along to the end of the world
Where I still believe
The colour
Of your Eyes (Is flawless)
'Cause you are beautiful
Your blood was beautiful, yesterday
I still hide, at the scene of memories
Oh I still hold my rosary
beneath the veil of life
Will the tears wipe the blood face of love?
Will they take away the stain?
Glow like the stars on the sky
Float in the ocean!
The art of life makes me wanna dive
In the colour of heaven
Ah, another day has gone
Another friend has gone into the flames
It's burning love
Jibun de kirisaita
Mune no kizuato sae
Birei ni naru made
Cause you are beautiful, your scars are beautiful, Like the jade
You’ll still shine, when you sink into the sea
When all the bleeding scarlet jealousy carves away your belief
Ah, now and forever you'll be loved
Let your destiny lead your heart
My Jade
Till your God stole you from the edge
Sank in the thought to feel the distance
Was it your secret?
Stop holding your fear
Let memory live and die alone
Oh will you be there,
Let your desire scream, ’till you feel alive
‘Cause you are beautiful, your scars are beautiful, Like the jade
You’ll still shine, when you sink into the sea
When all the bleeding scarlet jealousy carves away your belief
Made of the lime, the wings of the night,
Looking through the eyes of fallen angels
Sink like a stone into the dark
where no light can touch
Will God break my fall? I feel the mystery
Tries to take me along to the end of the world
Where I still believe
The colour
Of your Eyes (Is flawless)
'Cause you are beautiful
Your blood was beautiful, yesterday
I still hide, at the scene of memories
Oh I still hold my rosary
beneath the veil of life
Will the tears wipe the blood face of love?
Will they take away the stain?
Glow like the stars on the sky
Float in the ocean!
The art of life makes me wanna dive
In the colour of heaven
Ah, another day has gone
Another friend has gone into the flames
It's burning love
Jibun de kirisaita
Mune no kizuato sae
Birei ni naru made
Cause you are beautiful, your scars are beautiful, Like the jade
You’ll still shine, when you sink into the sea
When all the bleeding scarlet jealousy carves away your belief
Ah, now and forever you'll be loved
Let your destiny lead your heart
My Jade

@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Jade is considered the national stone of Japan, a symbol of wealth and power, and an epitome of Japanese aesthetic - asymmetry, imperfection, and impermanence. The song is inspired by Yoshiki\'s experiences of suicide, and can be interpreted as a love letter to those who find themselves faulty and unworthy of life - reminding that there is somebody who thinks that their scars make them beautiful and they are too dear to lose.
