This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A whispered curse under his breath
A whispered prayer over a death
A sunrise blotted out by cloud
A mother sleeping by the shroud
A poison word that's never said.
A simple frame above the bed.
A poison word will not deceive.
You don't believe what you believe.
You want the want.
You want the want
(if it doesn't kill you first
It might just drive you mad)
The vision doesn't disappoint
The ghost is lighting up a joint
The fickle crowd has gone to sleep
You're ready now to take the leap
You want the want.
You want the want.
You want the want.
You want the want.
(if it doesn't kill you first
It might just drive you mad)
A whispered prayer over a death
A sunrise blotted out by cloud
A mother sleeping by the shroud
A poison word that's never said.
A simple frame above the bed.
A poison word will not deceive.
You don't believe what you believe.
You want the want.
You want the want
(if it doesn't kill you first
It might just drive you mad)
The vision doesn't disappoint
The ghost is lighting up a joint
The fickle crowd has gone to sleep
You're ready now to take the leap
You want the want.
You want the want.
You want the want.
You want the want.
(if it doesn't kill you first
It might just drive you mad)

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”

American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag

“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.
This song is awesome, but I not sure what it means. Perhaps the search for religion (or spirituality, faith, whatever you want to call it)? I kinda get that from the talk of visions and curses and prayers, coupled with the lines "you don’t believe what you believe" and "you want the want". "You want the want" meaning the singer is seeking something maybe? And "you don’t believe what you believe" giving me the impression of someone who has been raised in a particular faith, but doesn't really believe, just sort of goes along without questioning because that's what they're used to. So maybe it's the search for something they can actually truely believe. "The fickle crowd has gone to sleep / you’re ready now to take the leap" makes me think "the fickle crowd" are 'believers' who don't believe, maybe go to church (or some other place of worship), but don't really pay much attention (they've "gone to sleep", aren't searching for what they're missing from the whole thing)? It seems the singer is wanting to go from being a non-believing believer to being a believing believer "you’re ready now to take the leap".
But yeah, that's all kinda speculation, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to have someone tell me I'd got it wrong, so... ^^; I don't really have any clue what all the "poison word" stuff is about.
I actually kind of agree with you Tinsel Shine.
Maybe the 'poison word' is actually something like "Hypocrite." No one will admit their hypocrites (a poison word that’s never said), but that doesn't prevent others from seeing that they ARE hypocrites (a poison word will not deceive).
And 'a simple frame above the bed' could be like how a lot of people hang a small crucifix above their headboards.
This interpretation could still be way off, but it fits as far as I can tell. And yes, this song IS awesome!
