This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I ain't seen no waffles since I've been here and I think that's bullshit
I ain't seen no waffles cuz there ain't no waffles in Belgium
Uh oh, oh
I ain't seen no waffles cuz there ain't no waffles in Belgium
Uh oh, oh

Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
This is one of the saddest songs in the history of music. "Waffles" represents John Nolan and Jesse Lacey and any drama that could go on between the two and, of course, Adam Lazzara, the writer of this tragedy. Adam is lamenting how he isn't seeing John and Jesse and how the lack of drama is preventing him from writing anymore songs, since every song he has ever written is about John and Jesse and he doesn't have any other material to draw from as inspiration. When Adam says, "I think that's bullshit" I can feel his inner anguish crying at me through the microphone. Forget Yesterday by the Beatles, THIS is the ultimate song about heartbreak. I think I'm going to cry listening to it right now... :'(
Man.
This song is totally about John.
lol
hahahahhaha. totally. just like every other TBS interpretation on this website :p
This song is about the poverty in 3rd world countries. Waffles represent food, money, clothing and shelter. and the line where he says and i think thats bullshit is stating that he thinks its sad that there are starving people in the world. Belgium just represents 3rd world countries that are poor. Its also about John Nolan. haha just messin around but seriously this doesnt even classify as a song to me.
Haha I love all of you...
I really hate how everyone finds some twisted way to make every TBS/Brand New song about the whole Adam John Jesse situation. I'm sure the guys have more to write about than eachother...
Well except for this song of course. This one is obviously about John Nolan ;)
...
