This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Yeah
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag

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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I never thought the title “green bag” was correct. It didn’t make any sense. It sounded like he was singing “greenback”, as in money. Not only does it sound like it, and make sense in the movie, it also makes sense in the song and the song’s rhyming scheme. (Back — Track — Bag? Really? Bag doesn’t rhyme with track or back. Close, but no cigar.) I did a quick search and found that I was correct, as dedahl pointed out. They are singing “greenback”. From the song’s wiki (not that wiki's are 100% correct) “The 7" single debut of the George Baker Selection was released by the label Negram, which misprinted the actual title of the song, which is "Little Green Back (greenback meaning money)and "greenback" is the lyric actually sung. This has caused the song to be misnamed ever since.” Now the song makes total sense in the movie. Lookin’ back by the track (tracks denoting danger) for a little greenback. (people do dangerous things for money). What are some of the most common themes about money and happiness? People think money will give them happiness and will do anything to get money. (turn into animals — even killing each other, which is what happens throughout this movie) Who wants to be around a person that is so inhumane, so predatory? That person may have money but ends up very lonely. (as long as I can remember, multimillionaires have had a higher suicide rate than almost any other demographic group, even the homeless) And what are the next lines of the song?: Lookin' for some happiness But there is only loneliness to find. (hey that sound familiar!) Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day and Jump to the left, turn to the right (both about running away and hiding, as if you are being chased, like possibly into an abandoned warehouse!)
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, yeah! (maybe you’re not being chased, maybe you’re paranoid, or maybe the guy next to you, who is greedy enough to help you steal, is actually greedier and will kill to take your share of greenbacks. Or maybe he's a cop!) I can see the line, “got to find just the kind or I’m losing my mind” to mean 3 or more different things, I haven’t decided which seems to make more sense. Anyway, that’s my analysis and if you don’t agree with me don’t be disheartened, just keep in mind I maybe under the influence of my own little green bag!
I think for years I've been barking up the wrong tree. Given the year the song was written I had always thought it was a reference to the Vietnam war, i.e. jungle tracks, green body bags, fear (looking all around for threat). I had assumed that reference to marijuana or money might be a bit obvious/simplistic but now I'm laughing at myself for perhaps over-analysising the song :-p
@Lyrics2Deep Damn, I was hoping it was little green bag because "got to find just (Da Kine)" was in my imagination. It's more romantic and less political.
@Lyrics2Deep Lol @ your ending comment!
@Lyrics2Deep It certainly makes more sense that the meaning of weed. Probably most Americans thought it must have been about weed because the band's from Holland. :)<br /> And yeah, the misprinting certainly didn't help either. I guess QT got the real meaning of the song and that's the reason he used it for Reservoir Dogs, going about a heist that went wrong...
@Lyrics2Deep Wrong. They were hanging at the studio, started smoking some weed, the bassist played something catchy and because weed was in the "air" little green bag was born. Not much thought is put into a lot of songs. But weed was the catalyst to many ideas back in the 60's.
