Disappear

Jars of Clay

I watch you smile.
You steal the show.
You take a bow, the curtain falls in front of you.
You're magical, on display.
I gaze into your eyes, you turn to look the other way.

But I'd really love to know.
I'd really love to climb my way into your heart, and see what I could find.
I'd walk into your skin, swim through your veins.
See it from your eyes.
Cause I'd really love to try, yeah.

Standing still but in my mind trying to escape. Looking for a place to hide.
It's not safe but I'm so near.
Invading every place you go to disappear.

I'd really love to know.
I'd really love to climb my way into your heart, and see what I could find.
I'd walk into your skin, swim through your veins.
See it from your eyes.

I'd really love to try.
I'd really love to know .
I'd really love to climb into your soul.
Walk into your skin, swim through your veins.
See it from your eyes.
I'd really love to try.
I'd really love to try.

I want to get inside the you you're hiding from.
I want to get inside the you that you are hiding from.

    i think in a way it's God watching us and knowing who we really are and what we're hiding and it's His view saying he'd walk in our shoes if we were to give Him a chance... that's how i usually think of it. if i think of it in a human perspective, it doesn't sound right to me..

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.
