When I came up from out of the meat-locker
The city was gone
The sky's full of lights
The snow provides a silent cover

In Moonland, under the stars
Under the snow and I followed this car
And I followed that car, through the sand
Through the snow, I turn on the radio
I listen to the DJ, and it must feel nice (it must feel nice)

It must feel nice to know, that somebody needs you
And everything moves slow
Under the stars, under the ash, through the sand
And the night drifts in, the snow provides a silent cover
And I'm not your favorite lover, I turn on the radio
And it must feel nice (it must feel nice)

Oh very very nice to know, that somebody needs you
And the chilly winds blow
Under the snow, under the stars
The whispering DJ on the radio
The whispering DJ on the radio
I'm not your favorite lover
I'm not your favorite lover

And it must feel nice (it must feel nice)
To leave no trace (no trace at all)
But somebody needs you, and that somebody is me baby
Under the stars, under the snow
Your eyes were closed
You were playing with the buttons on your coat
In the back of that car
In Moonland, under the stars
In Moonland, and I followed that car

    This song to me suggests it's an expression of feeling unappreciated by someone for a long time. Giving us imagery of traveling at night in one season and then feeling the same thing dealing with the same scenario in another place in another season still under the moon.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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. 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
“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.
