When I look in the mirror I know not who I see
It's hopeless, it's hopeless
But I'm not sorry for what that I've done
They had it coming, we all die someday

I always do what the voices tell me to do
It's always easier to kill when your already dead inside
Lock me up cause I've lost my fucking mind
Rock back and forth, it kills me, it thrills me
Rock back and forth, to see you dead

Destroying everything I'm bathing in your blood
And when you try there will be no one to hear you scream
Reach out to me

When I killed them all they begged for life but I took it away
Now here I am scratching all the paint off the walls again

I always do what the voices tell me to do
The rain is a welcoming promise that tomorrow will be worse
Than today and forever we'll sing forever
Please give me something to believe in
I feel as if my minds slipping
I can't help feeling my life's going to end

Rock back and forth, it kills me, it thrills me
Rock back and forth, to see you dead

Destroying everything I'm bathing in your blood
And when you try there will be no one to hear you scream
Reach out to me

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god what the fuck have I done [3×]

    My Interpretation

    To me this song really doesn't have a meaning more of a story of a guy who goes insane and starts killing people but it brings him nothing but more insainty and he starts hearing voices in his head that are telling him what to do and i guess he end up killing someone maybe family or a girlfriend and it shocks him which is why at the end he starts screaming "OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE"

    To me this really remindes me of Johnny The Homicdal Manic for some reason

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Page
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.

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.
