This song is about a 13 year old girl who is shipped to her Uncle's house in London by her mom so that she can have a higher education. Instead, her Uncle gets her addicted to heroin so he can make her become a prostitute in order to make money. Well one night after having sex with yet another strange man, she realizes her jaw has been hurt. So instead of going to the clinic(which was either to check for STDs or have a pregnancy test or something like that) she decides to go to the Whittington(a hospital in London) to have her injury looked at. She's hesitant to do this though because she knows her punter(her pimp) will be angry at her for doing so because then the cops will get involved. She ends up going though because she can't hide what happened to her with make-up. She makes up a lie to tell just in case the doctor's decide not to pretend they don't know what happened. But of course, the nurse gets suspicious and doesn't believe the girl's story, so she called in the police. She started freaking out in the room even though the cops assured her he wouldn't let anyone hurt her again. She stays silent, but likes that he's talking to her like she's more than a dity whore. He gives her a card with his phone # on it before he leaves, begs her to use because if she doesn't there's no way he can help her. She leaves to give her pimp all the money she owes him. But her pimp follows her home and because she's been gone so long, wants to know where she's been. Scared and nervous, she drops her bags on the floor. Even though there's a mess, all her pimp sees is the card the cop gave her. He gets angry at her for going to the cops so he murders her and dumps her body in the streets. This song is so sad, but I love it<3 |

| Ed Sheeran – The A Team Lyrics | 13 years ago |

It's pretty obvious what this song's about. White lips, pale face Breathing in snowflakes Burnt lungs, sour taste *Her lips are white because she's smoking crack which is referred to as 'snowflakes.' The taste is sour and it creates a burning sensation in her lungs* Lights gone, days end Struggling to pay rent Long nights, strange men *She's struggling to pay her rent so she begins sleeping with men for money. But as her addiction grows, she accepts drugs instead of money. And they say She's in the class A team *This does not mean she's high in society. This means she's into high class expensive drugs* Stuck in her daydream Been this way since eighteen *Her dream is to make it out of the prostitution business, get clean, make something of herself. But she's stuck with no one to help her out so she continues her life like it has been since she's been 18* But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries *Because of the drugs, she's starting to look worse and worse. Her face is sinking and she's wasting away. And her life is 'crumbling like pastries' around her. There's no hope* And they scream The worst things in life come free to us *This shows that she has undergone abuse and negligence and considers these the 'worst things in life'. By saying they 'come free', it shows that she doesn't have a choice whether they happen or not.* 'Cause we're just under the upper hand *Overpowered by her pimp* And go mad for a couple grams *Goes mad for drugs* And she don't want to go outside, tonight *She doesn't want to go back out onto the streets to sell herself anymore. And in a pipe she flies to the motherland *A better place where she's happy* Or sells love to another man It's too cold outside For angels to fly, for angels to fly *It's too dangerous for her to go out and do those things. Because deep down she's still a scared girl and she wouldn't be in all this mess if she hadn't gotten into drugs. It could also mean that because of her misery and sadness (the 'cold'), she can't change her life(fly)* Ripped gloves, raincoat Tried to swim and stay afloat Dry house, wet clothes *I think this is about her actually standing in the rain waiting for someone to pick her up. She's trying not to drown in all the bad things going on, she just keeps thinking that even though her clothes are wet her house is dry and she has to do this to pay her rent or she won't have a house to go home to.* Loose change, bank notes Weary-eyed, dry throat Call girl, no phone *She has money in her pockets, but she is still very sad, has been crying. She's a call gril, but is so poor she has no phone* An angel will die Covered in white Closed eye And hoping for a better life *She overdosed on crack to escape her miserable life and is hoping that whatever happens to her, she's actually happy and loves her life.* |
