Failure is angular, it isn't circle shaped
And every fucked mistake's unmade
When I abandoned her and with my wand-like sex I cast a horrid hex
I laid a curse on her, another wasted verse on her, gave birth to her
Oh God, forgive me Moses, Jesus, Allah
I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret
I could be more than this
With all the time I have I am an insult to the dead
You should be over this, the infidelities are on account of me
And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words and with actions
I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof
Without you I'm a fraction
Oh God I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret
Too bad this won't come easy where I stay
Where I lay in my bead of needles, where I play
Like I'm a bad child on a baby's birthday
I'll take a permanent vacation, I've got two months to live
And all the mental masturbation is just too much to give
So I'll go down to where the river flows into the sea
And you can bathe me in your body fluids, You can rescue me
And every fucked mistake's unmade
When I abandoned her and with my wand-like sex I cast a horrid hex
I laid a curse on her, another wasted verse on her, gave birth to her
Oh God, forgive me Moses, Jesus, Allah
I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret
I could be more than this
With all the time I have I am an insult to the dead
You should be over this, the infidelities are on account of me
And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words and with actions
I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof
Without you I'm a fraction
Oh God I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret
Too bad this won't come easy where I stay
Where I lay in my bead of needles, where I play
Like I'm a bad child on a baby's birthday
I'll take a permanent vacation, I've got two months to live
And all the mental masturbation is just too much to give
So I'll go down to where the river flows into the sea
And you can bathe me in your body fluids, You can rescue me

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
The idea that Max regrets having sex is laughable, i.e. "Eat, sleep, FUCK, and flee - in four words, that's me", "When I watch you, I wanna do you...", "That blissful night I knelt between your legs..."
But here's my [lengthy] interpretation, with some lyrical corrections:
Failure is angular. It isn't circle-shaped And every fucked mistake's unmade When I abandoned her And with my wand-like sex, I cast a horried hex I laid a curse on her, a curse on her Another wasted verse on her, gave birth to her"
He's mistreating a girl he's dating (or fucking), and is fully aware of the power he has over her.
"Oh God, forgive me Moses, Jesus, Allah I have made such an awful regret of today I have made such an awesome regret"
He regrets his behavior. Fairly self-explanatory.
"I could be more than this With all the time I have, I am insult to the dead You should be over this The infidelities are on account of me And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words and with actions I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof Without you I'm a fraction."
He's wasting his life away, rather than taking advantage of the time he has. He's cheated on this girl and walks all over her, because he's got a whole bunch of inner turmoil and doesn't know how to deal with it. And even though he's being a dick to her, he secretly needs her as badly as she needs him.
Oh God, I have made such an awful regret of today I have made such an awesome regret Too bad this won't come easy where I stay Where I lay in my bed of needles, where I play Like a bad child on a baby's birthday"
(I don't hear the "Too bad this won't come easy" part in the song, but I don't have the lyrics in front of me so I'll assume they're in the CD sleeve) Again, he regrets his behavior, and he's being self-destructive ("in my bed of needles") and selfish ("I'm a bad child on a baby's birthday").
"I'll take a permanent vacation I've got two months to live And all the mental masturbation Is just too much to give So I'll go down to where the river Flows into the sea And you can bathe me in your body fluids You can rescue me"
This verse I haven't entirely deciphered, so this is kind of a wild guess. It sounds like he wants to get away from all this crap and start living life to the fullest, or whatever. The "mental masturbation" and "bathe me in your body fluids" parts are what throw me off - there seems to be some sexual undertone, although the body fluids could also be... gross things, so maybe he realizes he needs to be humbled before he can be rescued. As Fight Club so eloquently states, "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
Of course, I could totally be off-base with this, but it makes sense in my head. Haha.
Nice, nice. I like the depth you put into it.. and it makes sense to me. Haha.
