This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I never felt so cheap in my whole life
I am only seventeen
someone kick me in the teeth
I could use some enemies
I have excess energies
My ID says twenty-one
I get smart when I get drunk
I am not my father's son
Watch me undo what he's done
Here I slip past thirty-five
jesus christ, you know I've tried
I'm so broke and I'm so tired
Was it worth it?
Yeah it's worth it
I'm not worthless
I'm wasting my time
I don't mind
Cause I can curse this
Or I can burn this to the ground
I can turn this thing around
watch me wear some crippled crown
I don't mind
I'm wasting my time
but I can curse this
or I can burn this to the ground
or I can turn this thing around
On the day that I will die
They won't pray and they won't cry
None who know me can deny
I defy what rests inside
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life
you know
was it worth it?
Yeah it's worth it
I'm not worthless
I'm wasting my time
I don't mind
Cause I can curse this
Or I can burn this to the ground
I can turn this thing around
watch me wear some crippled crown
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
Time and purpose I defy you
I am only seventeen
someone kick me in the teeth
I could use some enemies
I have excess energies
My ID says twenty-one
I get smart when I get drunk
I am not my father's son
Watch me undo what he's done
Here I slip past thirty-five
jesus christ, you know I've tried
I'm so broke and I'm so tired
Was it worth it?
Yeah it's worth it
I'm not worthless
I'm wasting my time
I don't mind
Cause I can curse this
Or I can burn this to the ground
I can turn this thing around
watch me wear some crippled crown
I don't mind
I'm wasting my time
but I can curse this
or I can burn this to the ground
or I can turn this thing around
On the day that I will die
They won't pray and they won't cry
None who know me can deny
I defy what rests inside
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life
you know
was it worth it?
Yeah it's worth it
I'm not worthless
I'm wasting my time
I don't mind
Cause I can curse this
Or I can burn this to the ground
I can turn this thing around
watch me wear some crippled crown
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
Time and purpose I defy you

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”

Page

Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
Great song; hits a bit too close to home. To me, the song seems to be about a wasted life and the rationalizations used to mask those feelings. Forestalling change with endless distractions and a belief that you can change things around at any time; you just don't feel like doing so right now.
Time and purpose I defy you All my life you know I've tried to
We can't actually defy the passage of time, so stop acting like you're immortal and actually live the one life you have instead of being a spectator. Easier said than done. In that way, reminds me of Beach Boys - I Know There's an Answer, though a lot more defiant and from the perspective of the person living as a spectator, instead of advice from one who used to be a spectator.
