This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way you do, baby
Thank you, thank you, baby
My beautiful bird, you have flown away
I held you too tight
I can see
You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do, baby
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
(Maybe tomorrow)
Babe, you're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do, baby
'Cause you are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
(Gonna sing it to you)
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
You are the book that I read each day
(Sing it, sing it, sing it, yeah), you are the song that I sing
(Sing it , sing it, sing it, yeah), you are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow

You are the book that I read each day, yeah
You are the song that I sing
(Gonna sing it to you)
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
(Oh) oh (baby), baby, I need you
You are the song that I sing
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
(You are the song that I sing)

Magical

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
Michael does a great job by showing off his vocals in this song. This song means that the girl has left him and he's hoping that she changes her mind and comes back to him. And maybe tomorrow she will give him her decision as to what their future will be.
