I am disappointed
Every morning that I wake up
I am disappointed by the feeling
Of waking up next to you

You call me up, let me know that
That my sick guilt is so unwelcome
It's so unwelcome yeah
I hear noises in the darkness

I hear sadness in your voice
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you
My health is failing me

So I flip on the television
And watch sad movies
And look for sad sick people like me
Call me up, and let me know that

That my sick guilt is so unwelcome
I'm so unwelcome
I'm so unwelcome
I hear noises in the darkness

I hear sadness in your voice
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you
We could go

(We could go)
We could go through the front door
(Through the front door)
We could go

(We could go)
We go in through the front door
(Through the front door)
We could go

(We could go)
We go in through the front door
(Through the front door)
We could go

(We could go)
I come in through the front door
Through the front door
And the pills they will not

Will not
Will not
Will not let me go
And I will not

Will not
Will not let you drink yourself alone
Call me up and let me know that
That my sick guilt is so unwelcome

You're so unwelcome
You're so unwelcome
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness in your voice

I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you

I hear sadness inside you

    I'm with technophobia - it's an old one but always a goody.

    also, i think this song is about being someone, and like werechick said, not wanting to be. except, i think it has to do a little more with sadness. like, being with someone and not really being happy and just sort of being stuck.

    As for the meaning, I think it's pretty straight forward about being with someone and not wanting to be.

    I don't even care that this song is old. I adore it more than I can describe. It's amazing.

    hmm i dunno i was listening to this song before- 'i am disappointed at the feeling of waking up next to you' - so obviously realizing that you're just not in love with someone + wanting to be with someone else. but she also talks about her 'sick guilt' and searching through channels to find 'sad sick people like me' -so I'm thinking that maybe its about the moment when you realize that you don't want to be in a heterosexual relationship. -realizing that you're gay - and coming to terms with it?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
