"Turn"
He said
"Remove that veil, your fading in the head."
And take
Off your slip
And slip into my heaviness of skin,
And I'll be your disguise,
Yeah I'll be your disguise

Believe
Now in what you see,
'cause seeing me is all you'll ever be,
And shhh baby don't you think,
I'll close your eyes so you need not to blink.
And I'll numb your demise,
Yeah I'll numb your demise

'cause baby who will come more than a mile
To put a rose on withered cheeks that hide no smile?
And if the paint don't satisfy,
You know you can hide in me until you get it right.
So drop the mirror, look at me...

...with polished eyes.
An unnecessary feature'cause I am fine
But this
Talent that you'll learn
Will soon be your deflection of the hurt
And I'll numb your demise,
Yeah I'll numb your demise

'cause who would come more than a mile
To put a rose on withered cheeks that hide no smile?
And if the paint don't satisfy
You know you can hide in me until you get it right.
So drop the mirror, look at me...

'cause baby who will come more than a mile
To put a rose on withered cheeks that hide no smile?
And if the paint don't satisfy
You know you can hide in me until you get it right"

    Well for all of those who are wondering, its obviously a love triangle song. The girl obviously wants attention, because the guy is paying too much attention to himself. Hes like... narcissistic.. Hence "Drop the mirror, look at me"

Magical
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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
“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.
