This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well, there's a bridge
And there's a river
That I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost
And there's a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
Well, no one told me just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
'Cause I'm taking it
Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone (yeah)
Brick by brick (oh yeah)
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And this old road is rough and ruined
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles that I have to face
Oh, but I won't let my spirit fail me
Oh, I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm gonna take it slow
Because I'm making it mine
Step by step (you know I'm taking it)
Bit by bit (bit by bit, come move)
Stone by stone (yeah)
Brick by brick (brick by brick by brick by brick, mmm)
Step by step (step by step, I'm gonna)
Day by day (day by day)
Mile by mile (ooh), go your way, go your way
Say it, baby, don't give up
You've got to hold on to what you got
Oh, baby, don't give up
You've got to keep on moving on, don't stop (yeah, yeah)
I know you're hurting (I know you're hurting)
And I know you're blue (I know you're blue)
I know you're hurting (I know you're hurting)
But don't let the bad things get to you
I'm taking it step by step (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Bit by bit (bit by bit, come move)
Stone by stone (stone by stone, yeah)
Brick by brick (brick by brick by brick by brick)
Step by step (I'm gonna take it now)
Day by day (day by day)
Mile by mile (ooh), go your own way, go your own way
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(I'm taking it step by step) Bit by bit
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
Stone by stone (yeah, stone by stone), brick by brick
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
Come on, baby

Step by step keep on moving, day by day (day by day-ee)

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”
Holiday

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
