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”
Old as ancient skies
I've had these wondering eyes
But you took me by surprise
When you let me inside of you
Inside of you
Inside of you
There's got to be
Some part of me
Inside of you
Inside of you, I could cross this desert plane
Inside of you, I can hear you scream my name
Inside of you, all the stars unfold
I've crossed me heart and I've crossed the world
And I need you here and I need to be
Inside of you
Now the flowers bloom
I feel you creep into my room
And if this should be our tune
I'll die here inside of you
And the world explodes
I've never been down this road
Teach me how to grow
While I'm moving
Inside of you
Inside of you, the restless find their dreams
Inside of you, this king has found his queen
Inside of you, all the stars unfold
I've crossed me heart and I've crossed the world
And I need you here and I need to be
Inside of you
Inside of you
Betty Blue
So say it's you
To thoughts untrue
Who I woo
It's you I woo
Through and through
And through and through
There's so much more than just a screw
Inside of you
And I was blizzard blind
Felt like I'd lost me mind
But you've treated me so kind
I don't know what to do
I've had these wondering eyes
But you took me by surprise
When you let me inside of you
Inside of you
Inside of you
There's got to be
Some part of me
Inside of you
Inside of you, I could cross this desert plane
Inside of you, I can hear you scream my name
Inside of you, all the stars unfold
I've crossed me heart and I've crossed the world
And I need you here and I need to be
Inside of you
Now the flowers bloom
I feel you creep into my room
And if this should be our tune
I'll die here inside of you
And the world explodes
I've never been down this road
Teach me how to grow
While I'm moving
Inside of you
Inside of you, the restless find their dreams
Inside of you, this king has found his queen
Inside of you, all the stars unfold
I've crossed me heart and I've crossed the world
And I need you here and I need to be
Inside of you
Inside of you
Betty Blue
So say it's you
To thoughts untrue
Who I woo
It's you I woo
Through and through
And through and through
There's so much more than just a screw
Inside of you
And I was blizzard blind
Felt like I'd lost me mind
But you've treated me so kind
I don't know what to do

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
Oh boy.. this song is funny and clever, having several different takes to the lyrics. Well..this is what I think of the song.. (sexually)
Oh these ancient skies I've had these wandering eyes (obviously, looking at other girls) but you took me by surprise (some chick caught his attention) when you let me inside of you (he got to have sex with her and it was just different)
Inside of you Inside of you There's got to be Some part of me Inside of you (i think this verse is pretty obvious)
Inside of you, I could cross this desert plane (desert plane = shaved vagina) Inside of you, I can hear you scream my name Inside of you, while the stars unfold I've crossed me heart and I've crossed the world And I need you here and I need to be Inside of you
Now the flowers bloom (again, flowers popularly resemble vagina) I feel you creep into my room And if this should be our tune I'll die here inside of you (i think it has something to do with climax?)
And the world explodes (again.. climax) I've never been down this road Teach me how to glow While I'm moving inside of you
Inside of you, the restless find their dreams Inside of you, this king has found his queen (penis to vagina lol, hello there) Inside of you, all the stars unfold I've crossed me heart and I've crossed the world And I need you here and I need to be Inside of you
Inside of you Bay blue So say it's you To thoughts untrue Who I woo It's you I woo
Through and through And through and through There's so much more than just a screw Inside of you
And I was blizzard blind Felt like I'd lost me mind But you've treated me so kind I don't know what to do (this verse, i guess the whole experience was so new to him that he "didn't know what to do". Something like that..)
Sorry if this "meaning" sounds like a total joke lol but that's just how i think the lyrics to the song are portrayed
