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.
I've always found, that hatred was made from past failures
Burning inside my head, scorching my memories
Now you remember the ones you left behind
Now you are wounded like a thorn stuck in your side
The faces loom in to your deterrent grin
The lost children have found their way in now they are home
Again
As I stare at the faces that lie before me
Don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are
When your life turns black, do you purify?
As I stare at the faces that lie before me
Don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are
When your life turns black, do you purify?
The bloodstained walls that bear your name
Scream as loud as the fists that broke them too
Paralysed at the feet of your family
The knife comes down as the blood soaks through and through
Tear out the heart and soul, of the patriarchal figure
His severed ties has crucified this perfect family picture
Just look all around you
Our fists are poised and clenched
And these words you will heard them,
I speak for the victims,
You are not alone
Now sing, these words with me
Just look all around you
Our fists are poised and clenched
And these words you will heard them,
I speak for the victims,
You are not alone
Now sing, these words with me
Burning inside my head, scorching my memories
Now you remember the ones you left behind
Now you are wounded like a thorn stuck in your side
The faces loom in to your deterrent grin
The lost children have found their way in now they are home
Again
As I stare at the faces that lie before me
Don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are
When your life turns black, do you purify?
As I stare at the faces that lie before me
Don't burn out my eyes
Just who do you think you are
When your life turns black, do you purify?
The bloodstained walls that bear your name
Scream as loud as the fists that broke them too
Paralysed at the feet of your family
The knife comes down as the blood soaks through and through
Tear out the heart and soul, of the patriarchal figure
His severed ties has crucified this perfect family picture
Just look all around you
Our fists are poised and clenched
And these words you will heard them,
I speak for the victims,
You are not alone
Now sing, these words with me
Just look all around you
Our fists are poised and clenched
And these words you will heard them,
I speak for the victims,
You are not alone
Now sing, these words with me
