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”
If you forget it all, I will bring it with me
If you can't find the sea, I will take you there
Green, you still know me by name
Even though I'm losing
Doesn't make me a loser yet
You still know me by name, Green
I'll still be Lady Daydream
She took it all from me
Now I can't find my place
Do you 'member me
Do you know my face?
It could all be a dream, Green
If you can't find the sea, I will take you there
Green, you still know me by name
Even though I'm losing
Doesn't make me a loser yet
You still know me by name, Green
I'll still be Lady Daydream
She took it all from me
Now I can't find my place
Do you 'member me
Do you know my face?
It could all be a dream, Green

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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

“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.
"Even though I'm losing Doesn't make me a loser yet"
Such a sweet line. Her singing style is so unique. She holds that "yet" to the last possible second. I love it.
This song really strikes an emotional chord in me. It says so little, yet says so much.
What's cool about this song is that it can be taken lightly or very deep. For some it could just be about a girl who refers to herself as "Lady Daydream" to her person of interest, (Green), whom she seems to have a hopeless crush on and daydreams about, creating her own false reality inside her mind about herself and Green. (Almost like a high-school crush kind-of feel)
On the flip-side, the more and more I listen to this song, I realize how sad it really is. Her voice so delicately enunciates certain parts of the song, evoking such a strong emotional sympathy for the singer. I feel like she's crying out, yearning for Green to come back. Looking deeper into the song, it's about a woman who desperately wants her former lover to come back to her. She's so caught up in her own head & trying to get him back that she simply can't separate reality from her dreams about him. But it's been so long she worries if he even remembers her.
The 3rd verse is the turning-point of the whole song.. " She took it all from me" (The singer realizes Green has moved on with someone new). "Now I can't find my place" (Shows how much she loved and depended on Green, her world is now shattered). "Do you 'member me- do you know my face?" (Sudden realization that the heartbreak is real & Green is long gone).
Truly such a beautiful song, a tear-jerker for sure.
