Even with the walls around me,
I'll always miss the place where
I grew up.
It made us tough.

Simple love and wealthy families;
Suicides of kids that died too young.
It broke us up.

And I remember laughing
When we caught up;
Asking if that was still a part of me.
It's still a part of me.
At night we used to drive
Until we couldn't.
All that we wanted
Was some company,
And it was comforting.

We'll all carry on into the world.

Innocence was hard to stand by,
Even with those catholic girls we loved;
When they gave it up.
Life goes on.

But I remember laughing
When we caught up;
Asking if that was still a part of me.
It's still a part of me.
At night we used to drive
Until we couldn't.
All that we wanted
Was some company,
And it was comforting.

Visit with the Virden family;
Step inside the house I first felt love.
I earned that cut.
And Loriann I know you're out there
Watching us continue to grow up.
You gave too much.
Your life goes on.

And I remember laughing
When we caught up;
Asking if that was still a part of me.
It's still a part of me.
At night we used to drive
Until we couldn't.
All that we wanted
Was some company,
And it was comforting.

At night we used to drive
Until we couldn't.
All that we wanted
Was some company.

    My Interpretation

    To me it sounds like he's talking about a tough childhood and growing up. And how he fell in love and was discussing with this person now (present) that he still thinks about the relationship and his childhood, it is very much a part of him and shaped who he is today. Even though it wasn't exactly easy, he still remembers his childhood fondly. He also talks about how it was tough not to want to grow up and to not have sex (innocence was hard to stand by) and that he probably took (asked for) too much from their girlfriends, i.e taking their virginity. All they wanted was the company. But life goes on... and they have all moved on and grown up.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
