Wonderwall
Oasis
The word "wonderwall" means "the person you constantly find yourself thinking about". This song is simply about the feelings human beings get when they experience the initial stages of love and infatuation (limerence). It describes the volleying between euphoria and agony that a crush can make you feel. In other words, the song "Wonderwall" is basically about the butterflies you get in your stomach when your crush walks into the room and the thoughts that stem from those feelings. "Today is gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you" > He's saying today is your opportunity to express your love. You're going to be in the presence of your secret crush, and you better make your move. "By now you should've somehow Realized what you gotta do" >He's saying that it's obvious you need to approach your crush and tell them how you feel. There's no other way. Silence leads to nothing. This, of course, is much easier said than done, due to fear of rejection. "I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do, about you now" >He's saying that nobody else in the world could possibly have stronger feelings toward this person at this exact moment in time. His crush is the only thing that's on his mind. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep. He's infatuated with his crush. "Back beat, the word was on the street That the fire in your heart is out" >His crush has been hurt so badly by relationships in the past, that he fears cynicism will ruin his odds at casting the spell that will capture his crush's heart. "I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt" >He's certain his crush has been through it all in the past. She's entered relationships without second guessing and has been hurt because of it. He's afraid that this will scare her away from him. "I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now" >He's saying that nobody else in the world could possibly have stronger feelings toward this person at this exact moment in time. His crush is the only thing that's on his mind. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep. He's infatuated with his crush. "And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding" >Relationships are so complicated and hard to obtain and maintain "There are many things that I Would like to say to you but I don't know how" >He means exactly what is stated. He has so many things to say to his crush but is afraid to open his mouth and express his feelings because he fears rejection. "Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me And after all, you're my wonderwall" >It is possible that getting into a relationship with his crush will cure his loneliness and sadness and make him truly happy. "Today was gonna be the day But they'll never throw it back to you" >In retrospect, he missed his opportunity to express his love. He remained silent and the opportunity to show his love is now gone. It's too late. "By now you should've somehow Realized what you're not to do' >In retrospect, he realizes remaining silent and holding his feelings inside was the wrong thing to do, because now he is left wondering what could have been and it kills him inside. "I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do, about you now" >Still, he does not believe it is possible for anyone else on the planet to love her as much as he does, even though he was to scared of rejection to express his feelings. "And all the roads that lead you there are winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding" >Relationships are so complicated and hard to obtain and maintain. "There are many things that I Would like to say to you but I don't know how" >He means exactly what is stated. He has so many things to say to his crush but is afraid to open his mouth because he fears rejection. "I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me And after all, you're my wonderwall" >It is still possible that getting into a relationship with his crush will cure his loneliness and sadness and make him truly happy. "I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me And after all, you're my wonderwall" >It is still possible that getting into a relationship with his crush will cure his loneliness and sadness and make him truly happy. "I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me" >He's now simply holding on to the fantasy that him and his crush will one day be together.

Frontwoman Emmy Mack had this to say about the track; "I wanted to write a song that felt like Nine Inch Nails meets ‘WAP’. An empowering metal anthem that would help me smash some of the stigma and shame around sex that I felt for a long time after surviving SA. Consensual sex is one of the most awesome things in the world! And we’re beyond grateful to the legends in Alpha Wolf for backing this vision, for helping us inject more sexual liberation into the world of heavy music, and above all, for conspiring with us to create a horny metal song about oral sex that people can fuck to."

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Fortnight
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.
