This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I lost you honey sometimes I think I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word
Send me something I'm afraid
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine and all I want to do is hold you tight
Baby, baby, baby, I swear I'll drive all night again, just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just want to sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street
Tonight there's calling strangers
Hear them crying in defeat
Let them go, let them go, let them go
Do their dances of the dead, let'em go right ahead, girl
You just dry your eyes, and c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Let's go to bed, baby, baby, baby
I swear I'll drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just want to sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I know, I know, I know
There's machines and there's fire, baby waiting on the edge of town
They're out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now
'Cause you've got, you've got
You've got my, my love, girl you've got my love, girl
Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain
You've got, you've got my, my love
Oh, girl you've got my love
You've got, you've got my love
Oh girl you've got my love
You've got, you've got my love
Oh girl you've got my love
You've got, you've got my love
Oh girl you've got my love
Heart and soul
Heart and soul
Heart and soul
Heart and soul
Oh we're done, now don't cry now
Baby don't cry now
Oh, don't cry now (don't cry now)
Oh, don't cry now (don't cry now)
Just dry your eyes baby (don't cry now)
Yeah dry your eyes (don't cry now)
Baby I'll drive all night
I swear I drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow, through the rain
I swear I'll drive all night
I swear I'll drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow
And I wish God would send me a word
Send me something I'm afraid
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine and all I want to do is hold you tight
Baby, baby, baby, I swear I'll drive all night again, just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just want to sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street
Tonight there's calling strangers
Hear them crying in defeat
Let them go, let them go, let them go
Do their dances of the dead, let'em go right ahead, girl
You just dry your eyes, and c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Let's go to bed, baby, baby, baby
I swear I'll drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just want to sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I know, I know, I know
There's machines and there's fire, baby waiting on the edge of town
They're out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now

I swear I drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow, through the rain
I swear I'll drive all night
I swear I'll drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song, written by Bruce Springsteen for The River albulm, is one of the best songs written about losing a loved one. This is how I interperate this song which I find very moving. Glen Hansard does a very good cover, especially when he performed it on Late Night with David Letterman.
The first verse establishes that he is suffering from a loss of a loved one. Living through the agony and the pain and wishing for more time.
The chorus is brillant. It simply states he would drive all night to do a simple task, just to have the privlage of sharing time with her.
The second verse is the most interesting and coded verse. As I see it, his loved one pays him a visit, but she is sad because she knows it's temporary. The fallen angles are searching for her to return and he desparetly begs her to not to go to them. When Bruce plays this part live, I feel in his desparation.
The 3rd verse carries on the point that she is being hunted so she can be returned to the other world. But he is insistant she cant be hurt by them because of how much he cares for her.
