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.
It's one thing to ask why we break up
Have you ever
Wondered why it is we fall in love?
Can you tell me?
Do you know what it is you're looking for?
What do we need?
Can you tell me why I care?
How is it that we heed
That voice that says I want you there?
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
In a single moment you might be perfect
And sit
In a window of my life
But how much
How much more you yearn see?
What would I strive to hide?
Now there will be no compromise
So take it in your stride
I will leave you now with a smile
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
Look into my eyes
Ours was no love sacrifice
For it has helped us to grow
And I'm sorry I know just how far I have to go alone
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
And thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
I've just ready-made another love song
Just ready-made another love song
Have you ever
Wondered why it is we fall in love?
Can you tell me?
Do you know what it is you're looking for?
What do we need?
Can you tell me why I care?
How is it that we heed
That voice that says I want you there?
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
In a single moment you might be perfect
And sit
In a window of my life
But how much
How much more you yearn see?
What would I strive to hide?
Now there will be no compromise
So take it in your stride
I will leave you now with a smile
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
Look into my eyes
Ours was no love sacrifice
For it has helped us to grow
And I'm sorry I know just how far I have to go alone
Thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
And thanks you've been fuel for thought
Now I'm more lonely than before
But that's okay I've just ready-made another fucking love song
I've just ready-made another love song
Just ready-made another love song

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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 one is a clean edit, mind you.
The version I've heard doesn't say "stupid"....
This song also has another version:
"Thanks you've been fuel the thought Now i'm more lonely than before But thats okay i've just ready-made another FUCKING love song"
In the first stanza, she poses alot of rhetorical questions to the listener. She is speaking to an unseen person, who never responds. She is questioning the value and point of relationships in general. She asks "do you know what it is you are looking for?" She questions why she even cares, and she says that there is a voice "that says, i want you there".
She uses sarcasm, in thanking the unseen man for fueling her thoughts, her hopes, her dreams. However, we can tell that is all that he has done; he didn't actually make them come true. A sense of wasted time is conveyed to the listener.
She realises that after all that she has been through, she is still as lonely as she was in the first place.
She is so used to it, and the depression, and her way of releaving the depression (by writing songs) that she is yet again, writing another song.
This chorus is repeated through out the song.
She says "In a single moment you might be perfect And sit In a window of my life", which means "one moment, you might be all that i want and need", which leaves the listener thinking "but what about the next moment?"
"Now there will be no compromise, So take it in your stride, I will leave you now with a smile"
i dont think she is being sarcastic, i think she is genuinely thanking that person. She mourns the loss of the relationship, and also to cope with it, she writes love songs. Theres a significant difference between the clean version, and the dirty version. The clean version is more she is feeling depressed, whilst the dirty version, which is titled "Another fucking lovesong' reflects anger and resentment towards the other. Maybe sarcasm is applicable in the other version, but I certainly don't think it belongs here.
