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"
What's happenin nigga
hey, hey, hey, hey
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
Ridin in the chevy 44's on the seat
With a quarter of blow get low lemme see
No tags to license, the trunk loaded with d
Ridin fluids in the engine, when know to be
If you wanna assault make it stop you must be fuckin' with me
If they don't wanna die tonight
They best stop fuckin' with me
Ima pull over and boy hom
And my cousins start beat
And they gon hide me in home when they lookin' for me
We the neighborhood superstar
Pimp a chevy pullin' hard
Thousand dollars worth of daimons
In the trunk with rockstars
Couldn't fill cowards hearts
When they see us on the block
Swirvin' in juicy fo bustin' shots just because
The hell I care about gettin caught
Im makin' mils at 12 o'clock
Back in the spot with the same old serve and drop
I pull a hoe in Bangkok, drop her off at 10 spot
Im burnin' rubber fuck the cops
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
Cadillac that put a boss in holstrum and own that
Set up Pimp Squad hoe what's happenin'
Westside gettin them panties, snap
Tracks should I do the Laffy Taffy
I said I do to make the pussy happy
Lets get em home over our Virginia
Step aside a sweet nigga
You in here for a lil fender bender
Baby just remember make it quick
You niggas kinda know me im the shit
Im the in the bubble, push Chevy
Well at least that's what it smells like
Hit the gas, poof, I run out the tailpipe
Tailpipe that's all these hoes wanna lick for the night
Treat them like Tina beat the pussy in the ya car and be ight
That's right ridin' in sittin' on the 28's
Sounds like a stadium, you woulda got your brains sprayed
Get you runnin' like Vick
What the fucks on ya hood
This is Mr. Westside
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
Tell em where im goin', im steppin' out
Singin' on the high life
Windows up in the clouds over nothin'
On my counsel that's where I got my gun as for that
After that get the finger role and blow one
I got the violent bitches make em freak fuck all night
Hoes know killas on the Westside
Earn stripes make the money turn right
This the kid just to get my peeps and my grillz swirvin'
Off church street all the pimp blockin' the street
I was born up in Bankhead
Dro you all remember me
Way back in 83', T.I. stayed on the street for me
Just cause im from Bankhead, niggas havin' beef with me
Half never seen a G, in the? Of my ??
10 screens folded, my Chevy watchin' enemy
Ridin' down 6th about the West rockin' and leanin' on me
Purple don't mean to me, the hoes on premolean
Lawful house charges
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
hey, hey, hey, hey
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go
I got my 44's, and my dro
And my Chevy on 24's
And my hoe, now where I supposed ta go

Ed Sheeran
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
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 song is about Bankhead Courts, located in Atlanta, GA. Bankhead is government community housing. I went there to play with the kids who live there, and they really do have it hard. They barely have anything, even their parents aren't really a part of their lives. It is very sad, but there is always hope for these amazing kids.
Also, I heard that by the end of June 2009, all of these houses will be torn down to make room for million-dollar condominiums. It pisses me off that many of Bankhead's residents will now become homeless. What a world we live in.
