Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)

You can take away the money
You can take away the gold
You can tell me it's the truth
You know it isn't so

You can say that I'm a vandal
When I ain't done nothing wrong
You can say you've had a good time
When you've really thought it bad

But just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock

You can take away the profit
You can give away my share
You can tell me it's a diamond
When it's just a piece of glass

You can tell me I've got nothing
When I hold it in my hand
You can say a scrap of paper
Was a contract that I signed

But just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock

You can take away my heroes
You can take away my pride
You can tell me I can trust you
Then take me for a ride

You can say I'm drinking water
When I'm really drinking wine
You can say I'm really clever
Then you laugh behind my back

But just let me rock (rock)

Just let me rock (rock)
(Repeat to end)

    My Interpretation

    This song talks about someone whose only cherishment is their love of rock music; They could say or take anything of his away, but touching his music is too far. This can all be a metaphor for one's strong determination for what they hold dear to them and how they do not fall for what others say. They love music and couldn't care less about money or the true worth of what they're given. It makes them happy and it's all that matters to them.

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”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
