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”
How many times should I stop and believe in myself,
I don't believe much in anything.
Ive seen enough of the pain and the shame and the blame,
It don't amount up to anything.
Now I,
Rewind back to a time where I could do anything and pay any price.
And I,
Need time cause' im starting to think that the promises ain't worth the sacrifice
And theres nothing for me here.
Theres nothing for me here.
How many nights should I walk in my sleep,
and I dream of how much I wanna run away (wanna run away)
Ive had enough of the stress and the mess
I cant take anymore I gotta getaway
Now I,
Know why I'm empty inside and I'm sure I've only got myself to blame.
And I,
Don't try to view the lies its just a waste of time I'll never be the same
Theres nothing for me here.
Theres nothing for me here.
Theres nothing for me here.
I gave you my life and its fading away.
Theres nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.
And I can't go on.
And I can't explain.
When everyone's gone and I'm left holding the blame
And I can't rewind.
And theres no escape.
It's been so long and I just don't feel the same.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life and it's fading away.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.
How many times should I stop and believe in myself?
I don't believe much in anything.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.
I don't believe much in anything.
Ive seen enough of the pain and the shame and the blame,
It don't amount up to anything.
Now I,
Rewind back to a time where I could do anything and pay any price.
And I,
Need time cause' im starting to think that the promises ain't worth the sacrifice
And theres nothing for me here.
Theres nothing for me here.
How many nights should I walk in my sleep,
and I dream of how much I wanna run away (wanna run away)
Ive had enough of the stress and the mess
I cant take anymore I gotta getaway
Now I,
Know why I'm empty inside and I'm sure I've only got myself to blame.
And I,
Don't try to view the lies its just a waste of time I'll never be the same
Theres nothing for me here.
Theres nothing for me here.
Theres nothing for me here.
I gave you my life and its fading away.
Theres nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.
And I can't go on.
And I can't explain.
When everyone's gone and I'm left holding the blame
And I can't rewind.
And theres no escape.
It's been so long and I just don't feel the same.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life and it's fading away.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.
How many times should I stop and believe in myself?
I don't believe much in anything.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.

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.
Yeeeah, ummmmm...is it about giving up?
P.S. This song on guitar hero 3 kicks ass
