This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm full of regret
For all the things that I have done and said
And I don't know if it'll ever be okay to show
My face around here
Sometimes I wonder if I disappear
Would you ever turn your head and look
To see if I'm gone
'Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you want to hear
That you want to know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
You're just an innocent
A helpless victim of a spider's web
And I'm an insect
Going after anything that I can get
So you'd better turn your head and run
And don't look back
'Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you want to hear
That you want to know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
And I have done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh, shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
Mmm, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, you'd better turn your head and run
See if I'm gone
'Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you want to hear
That you want to know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
And I have done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh, shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
(Strung you along
(Oh, shame on myself)
(I don't know how I got so tangled up)
For all the things that I have done and said
And I don't know if it'll ever be okay to show
My face around here
Sometimes I wonder if I disappear
Would you ever turn your head and look
To see if I'm gone
'Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you want to hear
That you want to know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
You're just an innocent
A helpless victim of a spider's web
And I'm an insect
Going after anything that I can get
So you'd better turn your head and run
And don't look back
'Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you want to hear
That you want to know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
And I have done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh, shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
Mmm, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, you'd better turn your head and run
See if I'm gone
'Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you want to hear
That you want to know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
And I have done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh, shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
(Strung you along
(Oh, shame on myself)
(I don't know how I got so tangled up)

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
please allow me to clarify, as I was thinking of this just today... The idea is that the entire mess of the relationship is a tangled web. He's an insect that is chasing after whatever he wants ( as insects do, and that's how they get trapped in webs) and she is just some innocent thing that happened to be caught by the web as well. He feels that he was more deserving of the entanglement, but she shouldn't have had to be in it. Therefore if she gets the chance to get out, she ought to run as far awy as possible so as not to get caught again.
I find it interesting that the lyrics say: "A helpless victim of a spider's web/ and I'm an insect..." The only way an insect would ever have anything to do with a spider's web would be if it was stuck! (Spiders aren't insects, they're arachnids. Insects have 6 legs, arachnids have 8... etc.) So even if Adam Levine meant that the girl's a victim of a spider's web and he's the spider who's coming to eat her (or whatever), what he ended up saying was they're both insects who could end up tangled/are tangled in someone else's web. That could make sense, except the rest of the song implies that it's all Adam Levine's fault. ("...the things that I have done and said," etc.)
...Though of course, the name of the song is "Tangled." Maybe Maroon 5 IS talking about two insects tangled in someone else's web. (I doubt it though.)
Oooh I quite agree with what Val said. And anyway, maybe they are talking about two tangled insects in someone else's web. I mean, who said Adam and Jane couldn't have had a lurve triangle... or, dare I say, three some.
there's a line or two missing.....about the spider's web......
consider it fixed! your welcome ;-D
by the way-- love the song. it's fun!
i agree with what winteronyx said, i think that he was just tryin to get sumthin he wanted..her..but he ended up hurting her because he was selfish and hes trying to help her out
I always consider this song to be about friendships... Do you know when you really hurt a friend unintentionally with actions and/or words and you stop being friends? He is trying to tell his friend he is really ashamed about something he did and he feels nothing he says or does will make it better so he just leaves...
oh btw my favorite song in "Songs about Jane" it's really really good.
no, adam isn't sayin that he is the spider (i don't think) maybe, but he'd be kind of stupid
I'm pretty sure he's just saying that he cheated on her. He knows he shouldn't have done it, but it just happened so fast he couldn't stop it. He wishes it hadn't happened but he can't undo his mistake.
