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”
I want to be there when you call
I want to catch you when you fall
I want to be the one you need
I want to be the one you breathe
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way around
Today's the day we'll fade away
I want to be there when you cry
And when you're down I'll help you fly
I want to be the one you need
I want to be the one you breathe
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way around
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
But I'm coming back
And I'm taking back everything I can
It's breaking me up and tearing me up
It's all I have
And I'm coming back
And I'm taking back everything I can
It's breaking me up and tearing me up
It's all I have
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way around
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away
I want to catch you when you fall
I want to be the one you need
I want to be the one you breathe
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way around
Today's the day we'll fade away
I want to be there when you cry
And when you're down I'll help you fly
I want to be the one you need
I want to be the one you breathe
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way around
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
But I'm coming back
And I'm taking back everything I can
It's breaking me up and tearing me up
It's all I have
And I'm coming back
And I'm taking back everything I can
It's breaking me up and tearing me up
It's all I have
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way around
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
first of all there is nothing wrong with being a juggalo as i am one my self. second, this song kicks ass and i think that its about a guy who cant be with the person he loves and is planning on comin back to her as soon as possible.
Whoa juggalo, calm down, didn't ICP teach you anything? Don't give people shit, it's not your place to judge, just hope that they see the light like we have.
I LOVe the line "I wanna be there when you cry And when you’re down I’ll help you fly." It contrasts with the rest of the album and it's a BEAUTIFUL song how it slowly crescendos to the end I think it's about the end of a relationship but how the person still cares about the other.
see...i added this song..cause i like it...seether is a kick ass group!!!
see...i added this song..cause i like it...seether is a kick ass group!!!
. . . what a fag. I ADDED THIS SONG . . . 'CAUSE I LIKE IT! AHH! Loser.
good song ..
wtf , seen the light of a cult of clowns .. yeh , nice way of using your own mind ... losers.
yo dude dont fuck with the clowns! Yea seether kicks ass too.
Favorite song on the cd besides broken(without AmyLee)...To me this song is not about breaking up and you still care, I see it more as a new beginning of a relationship. "Today's the day we'll fade away." to me means that this boy and girl are finally able to fade away from the harsh world of feeling alone, that they're there for eachother.
"But I’m coming back, and I’m taking back everything I can It’s breaking me up and tearing me up It’s all I have" It could be mean as breaking up, but i dunno. I think it could also mean something else...just I'm not sure yet
God, you morons, I wasn't talking about ICP! ICP SUCKS DICK!
u suck!!!!!!!!!
