This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You can't hide it from me
Admit it, baby
'Cause I'm wise to your disguise
I've seen you love me with your eyes
Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell
then you don't know me well
Would you come over here and break the ice?
It would be so nice
It's what you want when you're around me
You're a little bit shy and I feel the need
And I can tell that you're happy you found me
So give it up
Why wait around when you know that you feel it?
I look through your eyes I can see that you want somebody
It could feel so good to get into it
Give it up! Give it up! You want it, baby
Give it up! Give it up! You know you got me
Come on come on come on and give it up

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
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 joined this website just so I could comment on this song. Seriously, it's that good. To me, it's about wanting someone who's emotionally unavailable and she's trying to be tough and tell him she doesn't need him, but really she's impatient for him to get over it and be ready to be with her. Such a powerful song. 8mm is just amazing.
To me, this song is about a loved one who is hurting themselves, especially physically- "Bandage up your arms again, no one can see the blood but you." Also, this person is hiding all their misery, and only revealing it by hurting themselves. They think that their life won't get any better, that it is hopeless and they are stuck- "cause you're so afraid, that all that you have, is all you deserve." However, they are really only living in half-life, not really trying as much as they could be. The singer sees this-"Won't you get up off your knees?", and she knows this isn't healthy, and "It's time to run," meaning it's time to try harder to improve where they are. The lines "Don't you give it up for me" show that the person is a loved one of the singer, and that she doesn't want this person to give up their misery and self harm for anyone but themselves. The singer also knows that their pain and self harm can't go on forever- "Just how long can you bleed." At the end of the song, the singer has just about given up trying to reason with this person and just gives in to their notions that their life won't get better, and "that all you have is all you deserve".
That's just my own reaction. Feel free to offer a new one. :]
Thanks MS. E<br /> <br /> I really really get this song (at least at an emotional level) it kinda talks about things that can't be expressed vocally. It's about the despair and love that you have with somebody and a desperate plead to be allowed into their life. I was really in love with a girl when I caught onto this song, she wouldn't do anything to let me back in to her life because I treated her badly the first time around. I wished that I could do anything or everything that she wanted from me, but no matter how hard I tried she wasn't having it. This song just transcends the way that time was, so painful, yet eventually I was able to reason and believe that we both did all we could. I think that this song describes the flip side of truly unconditional love.... unyielding unrelenting excruciating loving and longing for somebody who becomes the air that you breath.
These lyrics are WRONG!!!!!!!
