This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing the reason that poisons your
Thinking you know what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out...
To silence you
But I'm a waste in your eyes.
You say you don't need me to save you tonight.
But I need to save you tonight.
I'm standing alone on the brink of a stone
Trying to humanize the enemy inside you
We're cut from the same cloth but we are
Stained with the poison of pride
We're sucking the life from the whole of the world
Can't be confined or condemned to be
Reduced to a place that's a violent resolve
To the end they will try
And silence you.
Cause we're a waste in their eyes
The grace they describe
Won't save you tonight.
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing your reason that poisons your
Of all your fear, love, anymore
Let pride come before a fall
I wish you could see and leave for something more
Than the things I'm confined and condemned to be
They will know our needs and we won't be ignored
So that we may excuse our lives
Don't let them silence you
Cause you're a waste in their eyes
There's a grace inside of you...
I need tonight...
Echoing the reason that poisons your
Thinking you know what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out...
To silence you
But I'm a waste in your eyes.
You say you don't need me to save you tonight.
But I need to save you tonight.
I'm standing alone on the brink of a stone
Trying to humanize the enemy inside you
We're cut from the same cloth but we are
Stained with the poison of pride
We're sucking the life from the whole of the world
Can't be confined or condemned to be
Reduced to a place that's a violent resolve
To the end they will try
And silence you.
Cause we're a waste in their eyes
The grace they describe
Won't save you tonight.
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing your reason that poisons your
Of all your fear, love, anymore
Let pride come before a fall
I wish you could see and leave for something more
Than the things I'm confined and condemned to be
They will know our needs and we won't be ignored
So that we may excuse our lives
Don't let them silence you
Cause you're a waste in their eyes
There's a grace inside of you...
I need tonight...

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.
5ii, i applaud your efforts and you got a heck a lot more of the lyrics right than I did, but i think in some places, you're wrong.
I think it's 'we're sucking the life from a hole in the world'
and 'i wish you could see me for something more' rather than 'i wish you could see and leave for something more'. I think it makes more sense with the next line 'than the things i'm confined and condemned to be'.
And i think the last line in the second to last stanza should be 'so that we may see some light.'
