It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten confused by the life she's been fed
And she's searching for no one (but herself)
Her eyes turn to green
And she seems to be happy
That she is her
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out

(Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah)
(There is more to know)

We're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
(So tell me)

You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out (make it out)
You will live to tell (live to tell)
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
(And I can) you can make it out
You will live to tell

You were not alone
You're not
You're not
Alone

    This song has a very broad message about hope, but there is perhaps a deeper meaning about where people choose to derive happiness. There are two distinct characters; a male and a female. The first character is in search of something because he has nothing, or he is searching to regain what he once had.

    In contrast, the female character finds herself discontent with her privileged existence. She realizes that she is tired of living for herself. She is alone because of her greed ('her eyes turn to green'-'green' being a classic symbol for envy, greed and sickness). Both characters alone.

    The first character would find comfort in understanding that he is not alone in his plot in life, while the second character's problems would be remedied if she realized that she wasn't the only person on earth.

    Two characters, two very different sides of the same loneliness.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
