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.
I know what you're thinking, baby
I used to be just like you
You move when she's not looking, baby
One sugar ain't enough for you
You, you're taking out your loans
You're burying your bones
Before your cover's blown
You better take it home
I like the way you look
I know you like me
But one and one and one
Baby, makes three
Stop playing those eyes
If you want me to keep your little secret
Your little secret
Tell it softly to me, baby
You never meant no one no harm
Your wonderland's a mirror, baby
It's swiftly fading like your charm
You, you're stepping out of line
You're spilling all the wine
Leave it on the vine
I can't give you mine
I like the way you look
I know you like me
But one and one and one
Baby, makes three
Stop playing those eyes
If you want me to keep your little secret
Your little secret
I could, I won't
I can't, I don't
You make it hard
Talk down my guard
My senses soaked
My ego's choked
I will not lie
Will not lie...
I used to be just like you
You move when she's not looking, baby
One sugar ain't enough for you
You, you're taking out your loans
You're burying your bones
Before your cover's blown
You better take it home
I like the way you look
I know you like me
But one and one and one
Baby, makes three
Stop playing those eyes
If you want me to keep your little secret
Your little secret
Tell it softly to me, baby
You never meant no one no harm
Your wonderland's a mirror, baby
It's swiftly fading like your charm
You, you're stepping out of line
You're spilling all the wine
Leave it on the vine
I can't give you mine
I like the way you look
I know you like me
But one and one and one
Baby, makes three
Stop playing those eyes
If you want me to keep your little secret
Your little secret
I could, I won't
I can't, I don't
You make it hard
Talk down my guard
My senses soaked
My ego's choked
I will not lie
Will not lie...

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Another Love
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Zombie
Cranberries, The
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
In Metal Rocker Your Little Secret, Missy does nothing less than break, smash, knock and kick down the door! I think what Etheridge is writing to the rest of the Lillith class is this: "I've got a loud metal guitar and I'll learn how to make it talk, sing and rock!. The door of the Camaro is open but the ride it ain't free!" And that's all she wrote! Melissa Etheridge ain't never looking back because she is an unrepentant hard rocker, pure and simple!
What no comments on this....LOL What everyone afraid of.....secrets.
