This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Love is such a novelty
A rarely painted masterpiece
A place few people go or ever know
An underwater rocket love
Exactly what I'm searching for
You're brave enough to go
Tell me so
Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
Who will leave? Who will follow?
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Love is not a fantasy
A haiku written in Japanese
A word too often used but not believed
Witness the interaction of
The flood, the sea, the sky, the dove
Time erodes the shore but not our love
Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
Who will leave? Who will follow?
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Do, do, do, do
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end today outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Do, do, do, do
The world could end today
Do, do, do, do
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
We'll find forever
Woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo
Love is not a fantasy
It's more for you and me
A rarely painted masterpiece
A place few people go or ever know
An underwater rocket love
Exactly what I'm searching for
You're brave enough to go
Tell me so
Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
Who will leave? Who will follow?
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Love is not a fantasy
A haiku written in Japanese
A word too often used but not believed
Witness the interaction of
The flood, the sea, the sky, the dove
Time erodes the shore but not our love
Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
Who will leave? Who will follow?
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Do, do, do, do
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end today outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts
Do, do, do, do
The world could end today
Do, do, do, do
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
We'll find forever
Woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo
Love is not a fantasy
It's more for you and me

Holiday

@[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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
She is the truth. This album is EPIC and the slower tunes are just as amazing as the upbeat and oft insane. This is a wonderful love song, one with religious undertones - Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity. It's undeniable. This song, I feel, shows that Love can conquer all... and that it's attainable for all. And once you experience that love, it's not just something small. Of course, it can be experienced on many different levels.
She's got it.

Who is Dhammapada? I know who Dharma was... Some kind of Hindu sage. It also means, the basic principles of the cosmo. One of my favorite songs in the album, if not the one. And it was an early favorite too.
