deep in the hills
there is a hideaway
that i built with zack, the lego maniac
i'm never ever gonna turn back

maybe in legoland you're mine
stop pause record fast-forward rewind
to the beginning frame
when i heard your name

we've tunneled through
to the outside world
the front guard is link, the zelda warrior
i'm never ever gonna turn home

    ok, so he tries to get a girl. He can't. But, since a child's life is entirely spent in unreality, he dreams that he can. Various types of ways for children to use their imagination are shown, such as: video games (link the zelda warrior); television (zack the legomaniac is from old tv commercials); toys (legos, duh); and building fortresses in a backyard (or perhaps (what is imageined to be) a hideaway deep in the hills). So, he pretends that in his alternate dimensions (which are within his mind, his imagination), he can have her.

Cajun Girl

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”

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.
