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”
There is no medication to cure me I've been so patient I'm sorry you have to see me this way but the frustration is killing me in the morning more than the evening more in the morning because when I wake up it doesn't leave me. Its not a dream when I look in the mirror my enemy isn't staring at me though I'm stuck with his memory. I guess its just to say and stop trying to tell you ok there's something I have to tell you
I was a fat guy
I was a big fat guy
I was a fat guy
Its no wonder I stayed inside
This is nothing to kick dirt on if you're thin you get your flirt on when you're fat you make love with your shirt on I'm dying to hide yellow inside you can't hurt me I'm already beating myself up at two thirty. I can miss some lunch switch from Captain Crunch to Wheaties being at such high risk for diabetes. If the fantasy in my head could see the day I would jump around in front of my ex and say:
I was a fat guy
I was a big fat guy
I was a fat guy
And now I'm truly alive!
I was a fat guy
Why was I so ugly inside?
I was a fat guy
I'm so happy I could just die!
I just wanted to lose some weight you know and drop a couple of lbs and maybe drop a few pant sizes get the fat that's hanging around my heart and clean out my arteries. I remember I was watching Fight Club with my ex-girlfriend and the part came up where he had bitch-tits and she laughed and I had bitch-tits so that means she was really laughing at me. I was just tired of feeling like shit you know I figured if I lost the weight I might not feel like shit anymore but guess what I still feel like shit. They say you are what you eat that means I went from shit to a vegetable and the worst part about is I was happier when I was fat and on drugs. I went from fantasizing about women to fantasizing about food I can't eat anymore.

@[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
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.
"I was happier when I was fat and on drugs. I went from fantasizing about women to fantasizing about food I can't eat anymore." LOL i feel your pain, Cage you sexy man. p.s. I loved your bitch tits!
