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.
It calls to me
Such a clean catch from
You ask me if I want it to be
A part of the reason you're seeking to find
Inviting solutions twisting my mind
Drip, drip, feel it slip
Slipping in on you
Drip, drip, can you strip
Your fevered life from you?
Save your incision for me
Prepare to suffer!
As the razor rippin in
To the cleanest parts of me
Drip, drip, feeling sick
Sickness sighs from you
Quick, quick, enough to trick
The devils into you
Serving as a revalation
Fill your cup with indignation
Sever form the father!
They will cut you Down! Down! Down! Down!…..
Grip of desperation, tearing away
Take your communion from me
Heavens never far from sin
Hell will be your second skin
Razor lies, I lie in wait
Make the decision to force the incision for me!
Such a clean catch for me
You ask me if I want it to be
A part of the reason you're seeking to find
Inviting solutions twisting my mind
Such a clean catch from
You ask me if I want it to be
A part of the reason you're seeking to find
Inviting solutions twisting my mind
Drip, drip, feel it slip
Slipping in on you
Drip, drip, can you strip
Your fevered life from you?
Save your incision for me
Prepare to suffer!
As the razor rippin in
To the cleanest parts of me
Drip, drip, feeling sick
Sickness sighs from you
Quick, quick, enough to trick
The devils into you
Serving as a revalation
Fill your cup with indignation
Sever form the father!
They will cut you Down! Down! Down! Down!…..
Grip of desperation, tearing away
Take your communion from me
Heavens never far from sin
Hell will be your second skin
Razor lies, I lie in wait
Make the decision to force the incision for me!
Such a clean catch for me
You ask me if I want it to be
A part of the reason you're seeking to find
Inviting solutions twisting my mind

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Indigo

Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
Nobody's commented on this song!! Then again not many ppl kno this band, so.
Well, it's not my fave of theirs, but the music is brilliant, and they way she sings is awesome.
