Exile it takes your mind again
Exile it takes your mind again

You've got suckers' luck have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the
Way you trouble mine?

Exile it takes your mind again
Exile it takes your mind again

Oh, you meant so much have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the
Way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
Now you're thinking too fast you're
Like marbles on glass

Vilify don't even try
Vilify don't even try

You've got suckers' luck have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the
Way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
Did you fall for the
Same empty answers again?

Vilify don't even try
Vilify don't even try
Vilify don't even try
Vilify

    Hmm, I'd always thought the line in the second verse was "Well you've MISSED so much", which I think would fit in well with Chell's story -- she's been trapped in Aperture for long she's missed out on living her life. Hell, by the end of game 2 she's lost a few centuries of history. But "lived so much" as an above poster mentioned goes perfectly with Rattmann's story. Spending years alone, hiding and crazy would give anybody the worn-out and hopeless tone this song has.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
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.
