This is the sweetest moment
This is what we both wanted
We are the same
But we're so different

I untie your shoelaces
We touch each other's faces
We start to sweat
And the sky turns red

Tell me that you know
Life's not fair
If we're gonna make it
Then we're halfway there
Tell me that you know
That I really care
I swear

[Chorus]
Let's melt the sugar
Under the meteor shower
On the hottest night
In July
A sticky altar
There's nothing but a towel spread out
As we both lie
We'll melt the sugar

It's melting on our faces
It's running down our places
That we both hide in the dark tonight
(Yes, I want you)
This is the way we do things
(Yes, I need you)
Spontaneous, exciting
(Sweat pours down my face)
I wish the world was always this inviting

Tell me that you know
Life's not fair
If we're gonna make it
Then we're halfway there
Tell me that you know
That I really care
I swear

[Chorus]

Tell me that you know
Life's not fair
If we're gonna make it
Then we're halfway there
Tell me that you know
That I really care
I swear

[Chorus]

(Sugar)
Let's melt the sugar
(Sugar)
Let's melt the sugar
(Sugar)

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
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
“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.
