Won't you run underneath the door.
Take my home, treat it as your own.
My mother told me don't you run away,
Because it takes a man to keep them hungry,
But I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold
I think I'm doomed.
Ooh, Yeah.
The time has come my friend to run,
I bid you please to take the roses an the loaded gun I left you
'Cause I'm hopin' now you find somehow
That I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold,
I think I'm doomed.
Ooh, Yeah.
Take my home, treat it as your own.
My mother told me don't you run away,
Because it takes a man to keep them hungry,
But I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold
I think I'm doomed.
Ooh, Yeah.
The time has come my friend to run,
I bid you please to take the roses an the loaded gun I left you
'Cause I'm hopin' now you find somehow
That I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold,
I think I'm doomed.
Ooh, Yeah.

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”

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
My interpretation of the lyrics is that its about wanting out of a relationship. i suspect its like an obligated mariage or something. so his mums telling him he has to go through with it. being cold could be cold feet, or being emotionly cold. blood turning to gold is a sense that what he has isnt enough (financially), so hes waiting on something impossible to happen and solve his problems, but really he knows hes got to run or hes doomed.
second verse he concludes that he can't wait anymore, so he has to run. so yea the rose is a sorry. hes hoping she will understand.
what im not really sure about is "it takes a man to keep them hungry" and the gun. i think the gun could be giving her a suicide option for leaving her with all his troubles.
if you got any ideas about those things or a different meaning, let me know :)
Wow, makes so much more sense seeing it through your eyes. Thanks.
I see it differently - I agree with the financial problems, but not the wedding. To me it sounds as if he's got himself and a friend into a mess, through some business venture or scam, and upset a lot of people - that would be the 'them' that are so hungry, for justice or what's been taken from them. His mother advises him not to run and to be a man about it.<br /> <br /> The chorus is him being 'so cold' as he has nowhere to hide, cold with fear etc. The running for gold is him saying that he'd give away his blood to be out of the mess, as unlikely as it is that he'd do that.<br /> <br /> Second verse, he's made up his mind: he's going to run, but his friend has decided to stay and face off against whatever he's running from - 'take the roses and the loaded gun I left you.' He's almost sure his friend is not going to come out well, so the roses are like a farewell gift.<br /> <br /> Just how I see it.
