its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You're a shooting star
We're in your constellation
No matter where you are
You know we are waiting
Soon we come for you
While everyone is sleeping
Gonna take you through
The gift is in the giving
Inside of you with all your lies
Nettles and vines
Nettles and vines
Shadows fall on these broken days
If I wait for you
I am your slave
I am your slave
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
I know the enemy
I know the one I keep inside
It's a feeling
Help us to survive
See my fingers
See my bones
I walk a thousand miles
On a chemical road
Inside of you with all my lies
Nettles and vines
Nettles and vines
Shadows fall on these broken days
You look so good
As my slave
As my slave
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
To be born again
There's been so much living
Take it back to the start
You're a shooting star
We are in your constellation
No matter where you are
You know we are waiting
Waiting
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
We're in your constellation
No matter where you are
You know we are waiting
Soon we come for you
While everyone is sleeping
Gonna take you through
The gift is in the giving
Inside of you with all your lies
Nettles and vines
Nettles and vines
Shadows fall on these broken days
If I wait for you
I am your slave
I am your slave
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
I know the enemy
I know the one I keep inside
It's a feeling
Help us to survive
See my fingers
See my bones
I walk a thousand miles
On a chemical road
Inside of you with all my lies
Nettles and vines
Nettles and vines
Shadows fall on these broken days
You look so good
As my slave
As my slave
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
To be born again
There's been so much living
Take it back to the start
You're a shooting star
We are in your constellation
No matter where you are
You know we are waiting
Waiting
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender
I give I bleed
I try it again
But I could never remember
We fell so hard
Onto the ground
But we never surrender
We never surrender
We never surrender

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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.
Holiday

@[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.
This song seems to be talking about alien abductions and having aliens feed on us may it be physically or metaphysically.
Like if our lives we're at their mercy as we are but only slaves and only reborn to be abused again but we never remember it. Yet we must not surrender.
