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”
Il est parti ce matin
Je ne l'ai pas retenu
Il est parti comme un rien
Comme si c'était entendu
Moi, je n'y comprends plus rien
Je me laisse mourir de faim
Et comme je ne me sens pas bien
De ma fenêtre, je crie sans fin
Allez, reviens à la maison
J'te ferai des crêpes aux champignons
Allez, rentre ce soir
Promis, je ferai tous tes devoirs
Il est parti hier matin
J'ai décidé cette nuit
Que tout en l'attendant
J'y passerais tout mon temps
Je ferai dans l'aviné
Je ferai dans l'entêtement
Aujourd'hui comme demain
De ma fenêtre, je crierai sans fin
Allez, reviens à la maison
J'te ferai des crêpes aux champignons
Allez, rentre ce soir
Promis, je ne touche plus au poignard
Il a fui depuis six cent six matins
Six cent six jours que les voisins
Hurlent de leurs fenêtres
Que je dois la boucler
Ils disent que je suis folle
Que c'est moi qui l'ai tué
Que mes idées s'envolent
Que j'ai tout oublié
Moi, je sais que c'est faux
Pour qu'il revienne
Je chante haut
Allez, reviens à la maison
J'te ferai des crêpes aux champignons
Allez, rentre ce soir
Promis, je ne touche plus au poignard
Je ne l'ai pas retenu
Il est parti comme un rien
Comme si c'était entendu
Moi, je n'y comprends plus rien
Je me laisse mourir de faim
Et comme je ne me sens pas bien
De ma fenêtre, je crie sans fin
Allez, reviens à la maison
J'te ferai des crêpes aux champignons
Allez, rentre ce soir
Promis, je ferai tous tes devoirs
Il est parti hier matin
J'ai décidé cette nuit
Que tout en l'attendant
J'y passerais tout mon temps
Je ferai dans l'aviné
Je ferai dans l'entêtement
Aujourd'hui comme demain
De ma fenêtre, je crierai sans fin
Allez, reviens à la maison
J'te ferai des crêpes aux champignons
Allez, rentre ce soir
Promis, je ne touche plus au poignard
Il a fui depuis six cent six matins
Six cent six jours que les voisins
Hurlent de leurs fenêtres
Que je dois la boucler
Ils disent que je suis folle
Que c'est moi qui l'ai tué
Que mes idées s'envolent
Que j'ai tout oublié
Moi, je sais que c'est faux
Pour qu'il revienne
Je chante haut
Allez, reviens à la maison
J'te ferai des crêpes aux champignons
Allez, rentre ce soir
Promis, je ne touche plus au poignard

@[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.

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.
This is such a catchy tune, which belies the lyrics remarkably. I think this is from the perspective of a mother who refuses to believe that her young son is dead. She doesn't remember him leaving, she just knew he was no longer there one day, and starts starving herself: "Je me laisse mourir de faim" as she cries out the window to him to come back to the house, promising she will make him a crêpe aux champignons (his favourite food, perhaps?) and no longer touch a poignard. This is an old-fashioned rapier-like blade, and this could be the method by which he died?
The bridge shows that she has spent 606 days crying out of her window for him to come back, giving the same two promises again and again, and that the neighbors have spent that same time-span telling her to be quiet, that she is crazy, and that it was she who killed him. She doesn't believe them, and continues to believe he will come back.
This could be some other person, I guessed that the person in question is young, because in the midst of promising to make him some crêpes, and not touching a sword, she promises to do his homework for him "Promis, je ferai tous tes devoirs"
