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.
she looks like a doll, dracula's bride
'cause who dares say hello wouldn't dare say goodbye
he don't care for the trails and he don't stand for the lies
[unknown word(s)] and joyous to look at her pride
but don't get close enough to be that out of mind
she can't get close enough so then left with the tide
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend that might not breathe, yeah
except for her hands, she's full figured and fat
and the neck you would lick only given the chance
she's a cop on a train in a mainstream romance
she's a dainty young lass, she's a bite on the hand
i'll be stuck in a view of you two in a bed
then she's gone for a dream that's been pulled from the string
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe, yeah
except for her hands, she's full figured and fat
and the neck you would lick only given the chance
she's a cop on a train in a mainstream romance
she's a dainty young lass, she's a bite on the hand
i'll be stuck in a view of you two in a bed
then she's gone for a dream that's been pulled from the string
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe, yeah
'cause who dares say hello wouldn't dare say goodbye
he don't care for the trails and he don't stand for the lies
[unknown word(s)] and joyous to look at her pride
but don't get close enough to be that out of mind
she can't get close enough so then left with the tide
honestly,
she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend that might not breathe, yeah
except for her hands, she's full figured and fat
and the neck you would lick only given the chance
she's a cop on a train in a mainstream romance
she's a dainty young lass, she's a bite on the hand
i'll be stuck in a view of you two in a bed
then she's gone for a dream that's been pulled from the string

she's got it together so nicely
honestly,
a living legend you might not believe, yeah

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”

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Not "Pulled from this string" its "Pulled from this dream" I looove this song... I really Wish They'd re release some stuf off Sour.. Makes me sad. :(
