Dance, dance your decay all the while, unknowing youre led astray
Sleep, sleep through your woe while your voice slowly withers and melts away

Sing unto me the pleasure and pain
Reveal to me the reasons my loves not in vain

Sangre, sangre de la rosa
Sigue en paz sin el pasado
Rece, rece por su alma
Ella morirá en el bautismo del fuego

Sing unto me the pleasure and pain
Reveal to me the reasons my loves not in vain

The world burns but still we breathe...
The iron chambered heart a seive that sifts through honest elegance and suffers from the wrong defense

    My Interpretation

    Rose? Or rows. Hm… maybe this is the bleeding tango of life?? Damn, I don’t speak Spanish but thankfully barkley moogle helps me. The decay is a reference to act 1 (I forget the song) which is important because act 1 is so foundational . Then there is this new image of an iron chambered heart. This kinda is leading us to act 3. Anyways, its just talking about how fake the world is and how everyone is so defensive in the city. It’s just the woes of the rows of hos in the city. And the Spanish part brings us back to his mama so he is realizing some more of his past . But the song is also relating to Ms. Leading and I see some relations between the boy and her that then are presented in the next song.

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.
