They really are unintelligible

May I ask other fellow Swifties wtf Fortnight is about? 

 

Quote

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather

Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors

Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

Is she a homewrecker?

The complete discography of the Cocteau Twins, and I love it. They even requested for Genius to remove all transcriptions of their lyrics because for years, fans have been trying to decipher what Liz (the lead singer) is singing. In fact, there are no official lyrics for any of their songs.

 

I made my own lyric booklet in my notes app for HOLV

So this thread is about songs that are audibily intelligible, like you can't understand the words they're saying.  BUT to answer your question, Fortnight is about having encounters with/thinking about someone you had a short fling with a long time ago, while you're in a mundane long term relationship.  Imagining that you're both married to other people and being a bit sad at the fact that you didn't end up with them.

 Does this one count?

 

 

the lyrics are straightforward but it also kinda doesn't make sense? + she sings in cursive

Ma'am, I'm not an English speaker. Before I participated in this thread, I searched on Oxford Dictionary the meaning of the word "unintelligible" and it explained to me that something is "impossible to understand" and I said Fortnight.

🌚

Now I need to search some words in your quote to understand. Thank you 

 

           anything coming out of Tate's mouth 

 

 

SZA's verse in "Kiss Me More". I literally can not make out 95% of what she's saying without the lyrics in front of me, and I have purposely tried to so many times. It's so unintelligible that it's borderline comical.

 

Ariana Grande's second album "My Everything" is an assault on diction, which is a shame because it has some of her best songs. I think "One Last Time" is a genius pop song, but I loathe the way she sings it on the recording.

 

The current offender is Tate McRae. I can barely understand what she is saying in just about every hit I've heard of hers. I'm not sure if it's the way she sings, amateur over-processing of her vocals, or a combo of both, but if you asked me to recite a full line from any of her songs that I've heard against my will a thousand times, I wouldn't be able to.  
 

Also, a good handful of Sia songs, like the OP stated. "Elastic Heart" in particular as far as her big hits go.

I honestly still have no idea what the lyrics are even though i heard it a million times

SZA's Hit Different makes me struggle a lot and Tate's Dear God too

Cant believe yall didnt post this...like it's THE song for this! 
 

 

 

I didn't understand a single word when I first heard this song 

Except for the "it's ok i'm ok" part in the chorus
