This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Somewhere there's a stolen halo,
I used to watch her wear it well,
Everything would shine,
Wherever she would go,
But looking at her now you'd never tell
Someone ran away with her innocence,
A memory she can't get out of her head,
And I can only imagine,
What she's feelin' when she's prayin',
Kneelin' at the edge of her bed
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water,
Holy water
She wants someone to call her angel,
Someone to put the light back in her eyes,
She's looking through the faces,
And unfamiliar places,
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
She just needs a little help,
To wash away the pain she's felt,
She wants to feel the healin' hands,
Of someone who understands
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me
She says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water
I used to watch her wear it well,
Everything would shine,
Wherever she would go,
But looking at her now you'd never tell
Someone ran away with her innocence,
A memory she can't get out of her head,
And I can only imagine,
What she's feelin' when she's prayin',
Kneelin' at the edge of her bed
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water,
Holy water
She wants someone to call her angel,
Someone to put the light back in her eyes,
She's looking through the faces,
And unfamiliar places,
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
She just needs a little help,
To wash away the pain she's felt,
She wants to feel the healin' hands,
Of someone who understands
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me
She says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water
Like holy water

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.
I agree that this song could be about abuse. Really, it's how you take it. I can relate to this because last year, I lost a lot of my innocence. I tried drugs. I tried drinking. I got into a really bad relationship. I snuck out and got busted by the cops. When all of that happens, you do feel like your innocence has been taken from you. I think it's about a girl like that. Rumors get spread and all but you never are the same and yeah, you do act strong in front of everyone else but when you're alone, you bust out crying, letting the tears roll down your face. Nobody hears you and if they do, that don't help you. They leave you to your own devices.
