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.
少年は ベルリンの壁に
唾吐き付け
壊しても 今が何一つ
変えられずに
思い出せば
頑なに自分を閉ざしていた
歌う事が唯一の支えで
Edward H. Gein にはなりたくはないのさ
Sid Vicious and Nancy 何処で出逢うだろう?
心には声は無く
心にも歌を無くし
静かに君を待つ
届かない 君までは
届かない
君の声を見つけ出せず
Edward H. Gein にはなりたくはないのさ
Sid Vicious and Nancy 何処で出逢うだろう?
そっと君が手を差し延べると
素直になれず
心には声は無く
心にも歌を無くし
静かに君を待つ
恋焦がれ 夢を見て 恋をして
恋に恋して
夢は終わる Sid の夢
唾吐き付け
壊しても 今が何一つ
変えられずに
思い出せば
頑なに自分を閉ざしていた
歌う事が唯一の支えで
Edward H. Gein にはなりたくはないのさ
Sid Vicious and Nancy 何処で出逢うだろう?
心には声は無く
心にも歌を無くし
静かに君を待つ
届かない 君までは
届かない
君の声を見つけ出せず
Edward H. Gein にはなりたくはないのさ
Sid Vicious and Nancy 何処で出逢うだろう?
そっと君が手を差し延べると
素直になれず
心には声は無く
心にも歌を無くし
静かに君を待つ
恋焦がれ 夢を見て 恋をして
恋に恋して
夢は終わる Sid の夢

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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.
No Surprises

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.
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.
Kyo said that the lyrics aren't supposed ot mean anything, its the overall theme of the song thats important, something about him wanting to rip down the Sid Vicious & Nancy image of Sex Drugs & rock n' Roll
Man i love this! especially 5 Ugly Kingdom Live Jessica!! Theyre all SO happy, Kyo is smiling so much aww!!!
I love the lyrics to this song. Although Kyo says there's no meaning to the lyrics, there's definitely something here he's trying to express. Did Kyo say that the theme of the song was about ripping down the sid vicious/nancy image? Because, I feel like it's a song expressing Kyo's insecurities. I thought the Sid Vicious and Nancy statement was actually about Kyo asking for their help or guidance, for their strong, undying love for the issues they fight against (in this case, it seems to be fascism due to the Berlin Wall statement in the beginning). But when Kyo says he can't accept their hand, Kyo has come to a conclusion that he's not them. He's himself. I don't see any kind of negative tone against Sid Vicious here. I always thought Kyo had tremendous respect for the man. This is the vibe I get when I read the lyrics. It seems like a stretch but I get that vibe. One question...what does Edward H. Gein have to do with anything? Wasn't he some kind of child molester?
I love the lives for this song too. The energy for this song that the band gives off is mad. I love it!
Nah Gein was one of my favorites. He was a guy that was what you could call "socially retarded." He took the skin off corpses and made furniture from it, and even wore the skin of dead women. I find the whole furniture thing to be quite interesting actually.
My sisters name is Jessica I know that has nothing to do with the song but when ever I hear it I think of her.
This song was written about me.
Except no. It was written as a stylistic song to portray sid and nancy. Kyo has said he thinds them to be total idiots, though.
Kaoru chose the title because he "liked the name Jessica"
Kyo accually means Ed Gein, doesn´t he? But I don't understand, why he writes: edward H gein because the full name of him was Edward Theodor Gein, well that's what wikipedia says.
Wikipedia is written by anyone, i can go write a wikipedia page and not know fucking anything. This song is fucking happy and makes me happy.
I am sure that Theodore is his middle name, though, I have an encyclopedia of serial killers, which I do not have in my possession at the moment, to confirm. Psycho was based off of Gein, as well as many other psycho-horror stories, and films.
As for the overall theme, it does seem to be about an immense insecurity and fear. It could be that the fear and insecurity are theme of the song, and the meaningless lyrics Kyo speaks of are Sid and Nancy, and Berlin Wall, perhaps?
