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”
(Spare a little of your imagination)
(Spare a little of your imagination)
Hello hollow halo, hello (can you hear them say?)
Hollow halo (can you hear them calling?)
You'll never; you'll never leave this world alone
You'll never; you'll never leave this world alone
And I've become a martyr to the stars
Become a model to the same
Side that I've been fighting
I'm still afraid to crawl
(No more pointing fingers at mistakes)
I'm drowning like a saint
(I'm here in a reflection)
I'm still afraid to fall
How do you suppose, we can light the way to get us home
What you thought was lost, now found within
Feel this weight lift
No more pointing fingers at mistakes
And I'm here in a reflection
What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay this burden down
What a way to sing this sorrow
What a way to send this one out
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
And all this leads to nothing
Still this world won't wait
Complicated nothings
Still this world won't wait
What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay your burden down
What a way to signal tragedy
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
(Can you hear them say?)
Hello hollow halo
(Can you here them calling?)
(Still this world won't wait)
(Can you here them calling?)
(You can see all of this and watch it before your eyes
Everything owes its existence
Solely and completely to sound
Sound is a factor which holds it all together
Sound is the basis of form and shape
Spare a little of your imagination
And send it into the great voids of space
Came a sound, and matter took shape
Please watch carefully)
Sine waves and mirrors
Smoke that you inhale
Dry mouthing bitter tones
Better left unsaid
I know this will burn you
So I'll become the fire
These days will change us all
Don't you feel the same?
Don't you fear the same things?
Don't we feel the same?
Don't you fear at all?
But lately
Maybe the damage has been done
As we float away like embers
Beneath us the fire still it burns
And I don't, I don't know why
We question who we are and then we die
I guess, I'll see you when it ends
I'll see you round the bend
My sober sorry friend
Don't you feel the same
Don't we feel the same
(I guess I'll see you when it ends)
(I'll see you round the bend)
Don't you feel the same
(My sober sorry friend)
When we collide
Some say goodbye
Some save their words
Leaving no resolve
There's a break in the wall
You can feel it
It's letting us all escape
So people tell me you need
The waking day, to fall asleep
Light your way, find your place
In you
(Spare a little of your imagination)
Hello hollow halo, hello (can you hear them say?)
Hollow halo (can you hear them calling?)
You'll never; you'll never leave this world alone

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.

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.
It's actually "what a way to signal tragedy" "sine waves and mirrors" "everything owes its existance" (no AND) "and send it into the voids of space" "we question who we are and then we die" even though the we is very soft "Don't we feel the same I guess, I'll see you when it ends" "find your place in you"
