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.
As long as you love me (love me, love me)
As long as you love me (love me, love me)
As long as you love me
We're under pressure,
Seven billion people in the world trying to fit in
Keep it together,
Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know girl,
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love me, love me
As long as you love, love me, love me
I'll be your soldier, fighting every second of the day for your dreams girl
I'll be your Hova, you can be my Destiny's Child on a scene girl
So don't stress, don't cry, we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As you love me we could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love me, love me
As long as you love, love me,
I don't know if this makes sense, but you're my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, and I'll rendezvous, and I'll fly you to it,
I'll beat ya there
Girl you know I got you
Us, trust
A couple of things I can't spell without you
Now we are on top of the world, 'cause that's just how we do
Used to tell me sky's the limit, now the sky's our point of view
Man now we stepping out like whoa (oh God)
Camera's point and shoot,
Ask me what's my best side, I stand back and point at you, you
You the one that I argue with, I feel like I need a new girl to be bothered,
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side,
It's green where you water it
So I know we got issues baby true true true
But I'd rather work on this with you
Than to go ahead and start with someone new
As long as you love me
As you love me we could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love me,
As long as you love, love me
As long as you love me
I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
Love me,
As long as you love, love me,
Please don't go (love me, love me)
Please don't go (love me, love me)
As long as you love, (love me, love me)
As long as you love, (love me, love me)
As long as you love me
As long as you love me (love me, love me)
As long as you love me
We're under pressure,
Seven billion people in the world trying to fit in
Keep it together,
Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know girl,

As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me

As long as you love, love me, love me
As long as you love, love me, love me
I'll be your soldier, fighting every second of the day for your dreams girl
I'll be your Hova, you can be my Destiny's Child on a scene girl

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Seriously? No comments? And no bio? I didn't even realize this was JB's song until someone told me today. GREAT song...just a good combination of lyrics, vocals, intrumentals, rhythm, beat (is that the same as rhythm? Oh well), etc. Luv Luv Luv this line: "As you love me we could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke." Now if that ain't true love, than what is ;-) Just a REALLY good song from a surprising source.
I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber, but this song has a lot of meaning behind the lyrics and that's why I like it.
I assume (due to the music video) that a boy is in love with a girl, but her father will not let her see him. They make a plan to runaway together. When the girls father discovers that she is missing, he goes to find her. When he does find her, he beats up the boy and leaves him laying in the street, all bloody and beaten. He takes his daughter and the girl is screaming telling the boy to get up and go. I love this song and it is so catchy. I can rap Big Sean's whole part! It is my favorite song off the Believe album (next to Beauty and a Beat ft. Nicki Minaj).
I think what Justin means is that he's very unpredictable, but love is an interesting thing, it can hurt+help.
from the music video, i think its about justin fell in love with this girl but her father doesnt trust him. so they run away together. her father notices that sheis missing and beats up Jb
tor maa re kutta dia chudai shala bain chod kuttar bachha! tor maa ekta shooar ar tor baap ekta kutta! oi kutta oi shooar chudar karone tor jonmo hoise! ei karonei tui eishob dhon marka kutta chuda gaan gaas! jara tor gaan shune oi shob o kutta! tui mor shala! love it <3
I think this song means that love can overcome anything
It's about love being the most important thing above everything. Also that its worth fighting for and working it out.
The lyrics are so true ... life is short, and love is FOREVER! That one person is everything.
My fiance' and I are convinced that at the telephone he is carrying a sea bag and therefore the MV being military. He also quotes "Ill be your soldier..." even if it has a double meaning it still has military influences. :) Hooyah!
In this song, the singer sings about love being more important than money, a theme that is completely original and no one else in the history of the universe has touched upon. The fact that Justin is a celebrity wealthy beyond the imaginations of most people in the world makes this song completely genuine, as does his comparison of himself to a soldier despite no military service. The verse by Big Sean makes perfect sense and is integral to the song and in fact should be made into a separate single.
