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.
Yeah
Ooh la la
By the pool we're singing "Bailando"
Two ni-nights with a view, yeah
Keeping those blinds closed, yeah
She said I wanna find somebody by nightfall
Ooh na na, could it be ya
Baby, I like you
Oh, watching her move, I was lost in the rhythms
And she pulled me close by the look in her eyes
Don't know her name but I know that I need her
She said "Boy, you won't be lonely tonight"
She said "Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Kiss me like your ex is in the room
Don't you be afraid of something new
If you play it right, you can be that someone
Yeah, that someone who
Won't leave me lonely tonight
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Ooh la la
Make a move, yeah, baby by last call
Full moon night with the lights off
Baby your eyes glow (yeah)
Don't know why, but I feel like I'ma go psycho (psycho)
Ooh la la
If it's cool, yeah, baby I'd like to
Oh, watching her move, I was lost in the rhythms
And she pulled me close by the look in her eyes
Don't know her name but I know that I need her
She said "Boy, you won't be lonely tonight"
She said "Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Kiss me like your ex is in the room
Don't you be afraid of something new
If you play it right, you can be that someone
Yeah, that someone who
Won't leave me lonely tonight
Caliente, te pongo caliente (mmm)
No te de miedo vivir algo diferente (eh, eh)
Las ganas no se equivocan (equivocan)
Pon tu lengua en mi boca (eh)
Vive la vida loca, loca, loca, mmm
Toda la noche bailando contigo
Suave y salvaje como un animal (eh)
Yo sé que te gusta pero esto es prohibido
Yo me voy contigo, dame la señal
She said "Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Kiss me like your ex is in the room
Don't you be afraid of something new
If you play it right, you can be that someone
Yeah, that someone who
Won't leave me lonely tonight

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
