I feel your reflection
But your a stranger to me
I saw you staring back now
Your shadow right next to me
Can you be
My enemy
My disease
Looking through
What's left of you
To hold on to
Drowning
Hold my head down under
Wading
You touch what you can't feel
You ought to break my silence
You know you have too much to loose
You think that you're so homely
You think your breaking me in two
Cover me
In misery
And anything
I'm still here
Your still here
Am I still here?
Drowning
Hold my head down under
Wading
You touch what you can't feel
(Perversion)
(Perversion)
Drown in silence
In my violence
Drown in silence
Things are better left undone
Can you be
My enemy
My disease
Looking through
What's left of you
To hold on to
Drowning
Hold my head down under
Wading
You touch what you can't feel
(Perversion)

    wow...no comments...and this is one of my faves.

    pretty much i think the song refers to someone being tormented by an internal or external force, like their past/previous self/schizophrenic/violent side. That they're trying to get away from this other side, fighting to gain control.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
