He tried to escape once in a balloon.
He tried to escape once in a balloon.
On the foggiest day he decided not to stay.
The ground below held his life not long ago.
And through the fog the ground, it disappeared.
He felt he had made it and starts to come down.
A crowd of people that followed were cheering loud.
But then something went wrong and he couldn't get back anywhere.
And then he landed just inside the gates. the ??carried him away.
He tried to escape once in a balloon.
On the foggiest day he decided not to stay.
The ground below held his life not long ago.
And through the fog the ground, it disappeared.
He felt he had made it and starts to come down.
A crowd of people that followed were cheering loud.
But then something went wrong and he couldn't get back anywhere.
And then he landed just inside the gates. the ??carried him away.

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag

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.
The whole album presents a singular world where the government (monocle men) has absolute control. They control the labor (Kingfish Pies), brainwashing through superstition and ceremonies/parades (Some of Them Were Superstitious) (Anabel), and imposing outrageous laws that limit freedoms and escape from their society. This song presents a tragic story of a man described in the previous track (Balloon Maker) who has nothing left when the monocle men outlaw all balloons. He was already an outcast and discussed with his only friend that there might be more people like them somewhere outside of their society. Ironically, there seems to be more people who resent the government than he thought, as the song portrays a crowd of people following his progress and cheering at the prospect of escaping. The song implies that his wife died recently, and it's reasonable to assume that's what pushed him over the edge. The only flaw in his plan was that he picked a foggy day to try to escape, and he misjudged the distance he had traveled. He thought he had gone far enough and started to descend, but by the time he realized his mistake "something went wrong" and he couldn't stop the descent. He landed just inside the gate, where the monocle men were waiting for him and carried him away, likely to death or imprisonment.
