This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just let me out of here
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Who is that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The stumps of time
Oh turn the wheel and heal me
Since moonlights fade
I'm empty - heal me
I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulyssess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade away
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade
"Tic Tac" is the message
And the lunatic fears
He is no more
Speak to me
It all would be easier
While I'm passing by
What's that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The ghost arrives
Pick up my bones and
Tell me
Is this the "Lake of Fire"?
Hell?
Please
I'm in search of the Lionheart
Nobody else
But the pure can save me
Drown Ulysess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
Ruins rule my memories
I can't recall the signs
Invite the dead
Then silence struck my mind
Silence is madness
"Tic Tac Tic Tactic"
Says the clock
Just let me out of here
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Hear me
Welcome to this sad place
And hand me what is mine
I'm the Theban prophet
The dead and blind
And from the sea you'll feel me
Then you'll breath out gently
Leave me
I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulyssess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Who is that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The stumps of time
Oh turn the wheel and heal me
Since moonlights fade
I'm empty - heal me
I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulyssess
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade away
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade
"Tic Tac" is the message
And the lunatic fears
He is no more
Speak to me
It all would be easier
While I'm passing by
What's that?

Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land

Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out

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.

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.
I thought it was about Final Fantasy 8 until I paid attention to the lyrics...now I have no idea lol
