“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.
I'm an educated fool
So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do
About this awkward situation
That's been forced down right upon me
As I'm walking down into
on my own into the valley of life
Got a lifetime of experience
yeah I've got so much to give
Open the page at chapter one
could this just be that life's just begun
Forever within your darker thoughts Reflecting on everything you've been
taught
Never felt this way before
Seems that somebody's just opened the door
To the book of life .... or is it death!
there's ever anyway out
Someone's looking down on me
to the very inner core of my soul
They won't tell me what they see
But I really want to know
I want to leave my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
I want to go and see the fire burn
I want to see and feel my world turn
I want to know what more there's to learn
I want to pass the point of no return
Do you really wanna be
Just another one statistic or feel
That you really should aspire
That you really do deserve more
Do you ever really fell
That you have so much potential inside
What you really have to give
Could be realized so much more
Time will flow
And I will follow
Time will go
But I will follow
I want to feel what life's like respond
I want to meet my father beyond
I want to walk right into the light
I want to feel no fear but delight
I want to leave my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires

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

“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 track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
When I listen to this song, I feel it speaks for people like me. I think it speaks for people who finished a university, but they know they can do more than the power that is given to them and then they end up having depressing lives waiting for time to go...
It seems like a metaphore. I see it as a creature made up by humans, and that creature know that there's something above (those humans) and he wants to know more. Like there were a feeling of emptiness:
Do you really wanna be Just another one statistic or feel
That you really should aspire That you really do deserve more
By metaphore I mean that it could be applied to humans, looking in the sky, wondering if that's all they deserve. I often feel I could be much more than I am, and that's what that song means for me ^^
I want to meet my father beyond--- My creator, whoever he is. A god, hasard, something else? Who knows.
blaze's best song by quite a way...
This song is about someome who has gone to school, gone to college but realizes how little he really knows so little. I think this song refers to going into the after life two clues are "Have a liftime of experience" (They may not have that much longer to live on this earth) "I want so see my father beyond" (He wants to see his father in the after life, or he wants to see God in the after life)
Further evidence is what i beleive are lyrical references to heaven "I want to walk right into the light I want to feel no fear but delight"
and hell "I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires"
The verse "Never felt this way before Seems that somebody's just opened the door To the book of life .... or is it death! there's ever anyway out" Seems to say that there is more then life on this earth, That The opened door is actually death, the way out of a life which is an illuison
Well seeing as its one of bomber 'arry's songs then its probably about experiences, I think it might be about a dead family member. it can't be his father because that was in blood brothers but I think thats what it means
steve can write more than one song bout his father, but i dont think this is one of them. brilliant song, people judge blaze too quick, his songs take time to grow on you

Hmm I thought at least part of it was about the singer wanting to go beyond what they know, gah I suck at explaining this stuff and im probobly wrong :P
It's about bureaucracy exploiting people. Namely, kids.... The US public school system does a major disservice to kids. Ppl are getting fat downtown n in DC. Pour $ in the classroom not some chumps' mattress.
