Þúsund ár í orðum
Þúsund orð sem hrista mig á hol
Ekkert þor við verðum sárir enn
Ég verð að komast út

Þúsund orð í árum
Þúsund ár sem segja allt sem er
Enginn sér á bak við orðin tóm
Býr alltaf eitthvað

Síðustu tárin að
Síðustu tárin strýk, ég burt
Síðustu ár um ævina

Síðustu árin að
Síðustu árnar enda burt
Sárin saman – já, þau gróa

Þúsund orð í tárum
Þúsund ár um mínar kinnar renna tár
Svöðusár sem við saumum aftur saman
og höldum áfram

Síðustu tárin af
Síðustu tárin strýk nú burt
Síðustu ár um ævina

Síðustu stráin dreg
Síðustu árnar renna burt
Sárin saman þau gróa

Sárin saman þau gróa
Síðustu tárin renna burt
Sárin saman – já, þau gróa
Já, þau gróa
Já, þau gróa

Nú er ég loks kominn heim

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
