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”
Nothing new left to say
Can be heard
Nothing helps me find my way
Empty words
No more will I question why
What we feel
Nothing left to make me try
Nothing's real
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
If my nothing here resides
Inside me
I have nothing left to hide
Could be free
No more clinging to this world
Nothing here
Insecurity unfolds
No more fear
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing
No more fear
No one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If we've everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides
Nothing more
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If we've everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides
Can be heard
Nothing helps me find my way
Empty words
No more will I question why
What we feel
Nothing left to make me try
Nothing's real
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
If my nothing here resides
Inside me
I have nothing left to hide
Could be free
No more clinging to this world
Nothing here
Insecurity unfolds
No more fear
Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing
No more fear
No one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If we've everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides
Nothing more
Feeling cuts me like a knife
And who's to say
If we've everything in life
Find our way
In this nothing I have found
Nothing more
But in the space inside my mind
I open doors
Doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing
Open doors
No one
Open doors
Nothing hides

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.
This is my favourite song right now. It perfectly encapsulates the mood/emotional stage I'm in right now.
This song is basically about the point in life that everyone goes through... where you try to find your idea of purpose for life. And when you try to figure out what's meaningful.
When you first start looking, the easiest conclusion to reach is that it all means nothing. It's easy to imagine that everything is just an illusion... "Nothing's real"
This song captures the feeling of hopelessness and general depression perfectly. I can listen to this song on repeat endlessly. I guess misery loves company.
