In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
No hace falta que aparente
Tu conoces cada linea de mi mano, y me convences
No hace falta que nos prueben
Si sellamos de palabra esta promesa, somos fieles
No hace falta que demuestres,
Que recuerdo con detalle cada fecha con claveles
Que nos juzguen, que se mire en el espejo y se confiese
Es tan grande el sentimiento que nos une, no se vende
No hace falta, llevarte a la gloria
Vestida de novia, por aparentar
No hacen falta, los ramos de flores
No sanan dolores, si busco y no estas
Solo pido tiempo, para amar
No pretendo transformarte
Solamente si prestamos atención
Ahí esta el arte, escucharte y desnudarte
Si tus ojos y tus labios son mi cielo, como descuidarte
No hace falta llevarte a la gloria
Vestida de novia, por aparentar
No hace falta los ramos de flores
No sanan dolores, si busco y no estas
No hace falta guardarnos secretos
Se lleva el respeto en la complicidad
No hace falta decir que es perfecto
Fingir que eres mía frente a lo demás
Frente a los demás
No hace falta llevarte a la gloria
Vestida de novia, por aparentar
No hace falta los ramos de flores
No sanan dolores, si busco y no estas
No hace falta
Te busco y no estas
Si busco y te vas
Tu conoces cada linea de mi mano, y me convences
No hace falta que nos prueben
Si sellamos de palabra esta promesa, somos fieles
No hace falta que demuestres,
Que recuerdo con detalle cada fecha con claveles
Que nos juzguen, que se mire en el espejo y se confiese
Es tan grande el sentimiento que nos une, no se vende
No hace falta, llevarte a la gloria
Vestida de novia, por aparentar
No hacen falta, los ramos de flores
No sanan dolores, si busco y no estas
Solo pido tiempo, para amar
No pretendo transformarte
Solamente si prestamos atención
Ahí esta el arte, escucharte y desnudarte
Si tus ojos y tus labios son mi cielo, como descuidarte
No hace falta llevarte a la gloria
Vestida de novia, por aparentar
No hace falta los ramos de flores
No sanan dolores, si busco y no estas
No hace falta guardarnos secretos
Se lleva el respeto en la complicidad
No hace falta decir que es perfecto
Fingir que eres mía frente a lo demás
Frente a los demás
No hace falta llevarte a la gloria
Vestida de novia, por aparentar
No hace falta los ramos de flores
No sanan dolores, si busco y no estas
No hace falta
Te busco y no estas
Si busco y te vas

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.
