its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha, words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play, they're gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha, Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today?
Aha, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away
Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Aha, Enola Gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams away
It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today?
Aha, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away
Aha, words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play, they're gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha, Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today?
Aha, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home

Aha, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.

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”

@[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.
don't ever compare this song to something as petty as infidelity again. if anyones interested, the other bomb, dropped on nagasaki by fascist american dogs in 1945 was called bock, carried in the plane bock's car. the song's pretty simple to interpret. enola gay's kiss is of course when it dropped the bomb, something which can never fade away. not that that would stop the fucking americans doing it again. you know where the real weapons of mass destruction are.
It's extremely hard to take you seriously in your idiotic remarks when you cannot even get the basic fact straight to support your twisted and misguided statements. The second bomb was called Fat man not bock. How you got bock I still do not understand as the bombs were named after Roosevelt and Churchill. (Little boy was Roosevelt, and Fat Man Churchill). The only thing you got correct was Bockscar was the name of the airplane which you twisted that as well it was Bockscar not Bock's car. And if you will note the dropping of the atomic bomb actually save many many lives. Estimates had wounded and killed casualties in the millions should we have had to invade japan. The lives lost at the atomic bombings pale in comparison to those predicted death tolls. So please research what your going to say before making stupid remarks. that way you can sound semi intelligent while you make a fool out of yourself. Good day to you.
