This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You must be happy now I'm deaf to dial tones.
And your cool bangs have gone off with him.
And to me you say, "let's just be friends!,"
The four worst words in our language.
But here's another chance:
I'll fight him in a dance off and I'll win,
To a slow, slow BPM.
Or you choose the tune,
My repertoire of moves is really huge,
Just put your selection in.
You must be happy now I sleep the day away.
And I can now see in infrared,
Since my dark shades do keep the sunlight out.
But not the Lochness in my head.
But here's another chance:
I'll fight him in a dance off and I'll win,
To a slow, slow BPM.
Or you choose the tune,
My repertoire of moves is really huge,
Just put your selection in.
You must be happy now I'm deaf to dial tones.
And your cool bangs have gone off with him.
And to me you say, "let's just be friends!,"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

“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.
BPM- beats per minute. She blows our guy off for a shoddy dancer and our guy gets really depressed. Repertoire is sort of like things you have memorized.
(I don't understand the title.. Does anyone? Although due to the lack of comments..)
a relationship gone not quite as planned. she just wants to be friends... so now he's not answering his phone anymore and he's just sleeping the days away hiding from the world. but he can't hide from the fact the girl he wants is off with some other guy. and he hopes she's happy with her other guy, because he certainly isn't. and his proposition to win her (back) is a dance off with the new guy. hah.
...but really, I don't think SHTYM's lyrics are meant to be analyzed. they're just perfect as they are in their almost total ambiguity.
in response to sarahluvsu182 about the title "Recurring Motifs in Historical Flirtings", a motif is a recurring theme, subject, or statement, especially used in literature (i.e: a motif in Jane Eyre is forms of oppression). so, when he's talking about motifs in flirting, he's talking about the 4 words "let's just be friends." the song is about a breakup, obviously, and the obvious motifs that continue to occur in all breakups/relationships.
