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”
no trust
can be given freely , it's a valuable commodity
but obviously this is something you
never learned
faith is something that you put in friends and
had i excess morals to lend
i'd let you borrow them but my trust you haven't earned!
we've got a problem
first of all there is no we, i'm detached from you completely
i've got a problem you tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me
no bond
could ever seem to make a stable fit in our relationship
but one thing that never comes between us
is honesty
when you've got something to say you always seem to find away
to avoid the truth or instead you avoid me!
we've got a problem first of all there is no we, i'm detached from you completely
i've got a problem you tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me
STRAIGHT UP
Is how you'll see me stand,
But it is never in your plans,
To be straight forward,
So instead, you use
DECEIT.
Now I would like to take apart,
What you've been breaking from the start.
I'll remain intact,
I won't be broken in defeat.
We've got a problem?
First of all there is no "we",
I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem.
You tell lies to my friends
And think it won't get back to me....
NO TRUST!

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.
I think im right with this one, he's fighting with himself. Its like a split personality thing, he's not fighting with another person. We've got a problem? First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely. I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me. He's Talking to himself in the chorus, like hes got two different sides.
