This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Once you rode a tide, it was always flowing out towards the sky
It was like a dancer who followed your steps
It was like a lover who could take you to the dawn
It was like a history you could throw away
yeah...
Now the sea is throwing back all the voices who don't want to drown
Every wave is like a soldier who will fade back into the fear
where the soldiers are made
trapped with your first class papers on a lonely dock
where the future is a luxury to mock
You can laugh, you can cry, you can even bitterly grieve
But you can't deny that it's time to leave
your indecision is poison, worse than broken bones or the coffin
your either standing still or your running out
You're like a safety door that's stuck and won't open
for a fire or a summer day
All you do is tire
But you don't have to try - everyone wants to be deceived
But you can't deny that it's time to leave
I swear you want to say goodbye even more than you want to breathe
But you can't deny that it's time to leave
The enemy always lies
Hides like a match in a lump of coal
He won't use his eyes
He hates you for your soul
He hates you for soul..
It was like a dancer who followed your steps

where the soldiers are made
trapped with your first class papers on a lonely dock
where the future is a luxury to mock
You can laugh, you can cry, you can even bitterly grieve
But you can't deny that it's time to leave
your indecision is poison, worse than broken bones or the coffin

I swear you want to say goodbye even more than you want to breathe
But you can't deny that it's time to leave
The enemy always lies
Hides like a match in a lump of coal
He won't use his eyes
He hates you for your soul
He hates you for soul..

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”

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.
