He certainly did earn that reputation.
And you wonder why your eyes got sore and wide
It's just the same thing in a different light
Same thing
When the same thing shows in a different light
Say you know but you ask why
Say you know but you ask why
Say you know but you ask why
Pick it up, do it again
Say you're down to the last line
Say you're down to the last line
Say you're down to the last line
This is for show, do it again
Partly for the hell of it
Solely out of boredom
Mostly for the story it's where you get you're glorified high
Partly for the story
Solely out of boredom
Mostly for the hell of it
It's where you get your glorified high
More than one, hollow, sleepless night
Doctored vision in a different light
Where has all your muscle gone?
With all the lies you take on
Say you know but you ask why
Say you know but you ask why
Say you know but you ask why
Pick it up, do it again
Say you're down to the last line
Say you're down to the last line
Say you're down to the last line
This is for show, do it again
Partly for the hell of it
Solely out of boredom
Mostly for the story it's where you get you're glorified high
Partly for the story
Solely out of boredom
Mostly for the hell of it
It's where you get your glorified high
Partly for the hell of it
Solely out of boredom
Mostly for the story it's where you get you're glorified high
Partly for the story
Solely out of boredom
Mostly for the hell of it
It's where you get your glorified high
It's just the same thing in a different light
Same thing
When the same thing shows in a different light
Say you know but you ask why
Say you know but you ask why
Say you know but you ask why
Pick it up, do it again
Say you're down to the last line
Say you're down to the last line
Say you're down to the last line
This is for show, do it again

Fortnight

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.

@[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.

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.
The lyrics might be about the stress/life of touring and being a musician.
