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.
Once because we always were there.
I’m impressed you've never seemed so scared, and you still don't know.
But I found comfort in this bottle and your out of site, out of mind and nowhere close to being, sober straight I’ve seen that look in me.
Don't ever let me see those words on your lips, it's just me, it's just me.
So yeah yeah well now its peace in the form of a dove.
And yeah yeah its peace and love or just whatever goes down, easily, consuming our bodies; it’s your fight this night.
What the h---'s it to me, you still are what I think.
Keep those pictures around just to stay awake.
And we wait for winter, but no we wait forever.
It was desire represented by a ring with angel,
I stayed until,
you fell asleep but yeah you fell for me and lost the ring so I hope there's still a piece of me upon your bedroom floor where you curl up at night, this
nicotine is your air, is your air.
Stay to the face but feelings go over your head.
Once the sleep comes its over.
So both of us saw what it was, everything you were every time.
A favorite of my dreams, you've seen all that is me.
So sure you should take that, it’s one more mile, just the same.
Some say that, kings fall from grace.
So now we sit like kings amongst this, crowd, is gone so speak to me.
Some nights she still charms her way out and hopes to leave with a morning of sleep.
I’m impressed you've never seemed so scared, and you still don't know.
But I found comfort in this bottle and your out of site, out of mind and nowhere close to being, sober straight I’ve seen that look in me.
Don't ever let me see those words on your lips, it's just me, it's just me.
So yeah yeah well now its peace in the form of a dove.
And yeah yeah its peace and love or just whatever goes down, easily, consuming our bodies; it’s your fight this night.
What the h---'s it to me, you still are what I think.
Keep those pictures around just to stay awake.
And we wait for winter, but no we wait forever.
It was desire represented by a ring with angel,
I stayed until,
you fell asleep but yeah you fell for me and lost the ring so I hope there's still a piece of me upon your bedroom floor where you curl up at night, this
nicotine is your air, is your air.
Stay to the face but feelings go over your head.
Once the sleep comes its over.
So both of us saw what it was, everything you were every time.
A favorite of my dreams, you've seen all that is me.
So sure you should take that, it’s one more mile, just the same.
Some say that, kings fall from grace.
So now we sit like kings amongst this, crowd, is gone so speak to me.
Some nights she still charms her way out and hopes to leave with a morning of sleep.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
Nobody has commented? This is good, the lyrics flow well. The beat is sick, I heard this off the Atticus 3 Compilation which is a pretty good one. 6 bucks or so, pick it up.
