Pride no longer has definition
Everybody wears it, it always fits
A state invoked for lack of position
Strength is the bait that keeps us busy
If it's perforated, then tear it to bits
All sense was lost in the frenzy
They should never
Touch the ground
Irony is the refuge of the educated
Always complaining but they never quit
Cool's eternal, but it's always dated
They should never
Touch the ground
It's not worth, it's the investment
That keeps us tied up in all these strings
We draw lines and stand behind them
That's why flags are such ugly things
That they should never
Touch the ground
Everybody wears it, it always fits
A state invoked for lack of position
Strength is the bait that keeps us busy
If it's perforated, then tear it to bits
All sense was lost in the frenzy
They should never
Touch the ground
Irony is the refuge of the educated
Always complaining but they never quit
Cool's eternal, but it's always dated
They should never
Touch the ground
It's not worth, it's the investment
That keeps us tied up in all these strings
We draw lines and stand behind them
That's why flags are such ugly things
That they should never
Touch the ground

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Again, I'm gonna agree with Szorko here, but on a more specific level: not that patriotism is fucked up, that it is fucked up to represent a very individualistic idea with one symbol, a flag, worse yet, in a country that doesn't entirely give all it's citizens equality.
