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.
Woke up this morning.
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together.
I started smiling
Cause you were smiling.
And we're all in this together
I'm made of atoms.
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cause we're all in this together.
Yeah.
I saw you walking
In the city.
We're all in this together.
The city's changing
Cause we are changing
And we are all in this together.
Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers that
We're all in this together.
In the kitchen
Of your rent control apartment,
We're all in this together.
Come on, baby.
I don't mean to rush you.
I only wanted to reach out and touch you.
I gotta start to open my heart.
I know you think about
Jumping ship before it sinks,
But we are all in this together.
Ask a scientist.
It's quantum physics.
We are all in this together.
And on the subway
We feel like strangers,
But we're all in this together.
Yeah, I love you and
You love her and she loves him
But we are all int this togehter
You know, baby,
There's never been protection
In all the history of human connection,
Come on, darling,
It's all right to show me.
You don't ever need to be lonely
Once you start to open your heart.
I saw you crying.
I started crying.
Cause we're all in this together,
And then religion
It's a big decision,
But we're all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together.
I started smiling
Cause you were smiling.
And we're all in this together
I'm made of atoms.
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cause we're all in this together.
Yeah.
I saw you walking
In the city.
We're all in this together.
The city's changing
Cause we are changing
And we are all in this together.
Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers that
We're all in this together.
In the kitchen
Of your rent control apartment,
We're all in this together.
Come on, baby.
I don't mean to rush you.
I only wanted to reach out and touch you.
I gotta start to open my heart.
I know you think about
Jumping ship before it sinks,
But we are all in this together.

Cause we're all in this together,
And then religion

But we're all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.
We are all in this together.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
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

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.
Love erin's comment of repetition being a double post >.>
Regardless though, in terms of the song itself, yes it is repetitive, such is the point, some artforms actually rely heavily upon the concept of repetition to enforce a point, slight variations to add flavour.
In the end it's true though, regardless of any self-made divisions, we all live, and we all die. We suffer and we feel joy. Well most of us do, I'm sure there's a few people that're miserable in general just for the sake of feeling miserable.
Oddly enough it actually reminds me of lyrics from another song, Fleetwood Mac of all artists...
"There's two kinds of trouble in this world: Living, dying"
Pretty much sums up the whole thing, and can be more or less applied to this one as well. For the good and the bad, we are pretty much stuck in the same situations, even if they seem different it's just variations on a theme.
Of course, meanings aside, it's still a nice song to listen to simply for the sake of enjoying that as well. Speed metal, goth-tec, trance, new age, pop, it doesn't matter really, every music has a mood and personality it matches, and in the end, I don't think anyone can say they 'hate music' as a whole, because then they could just listen to something depressing instead. So in the end, guess we really are all in this together after all.
