This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's difficult to say goodbye after only one life
The rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams
And this burning tree that's withering will bloom again
Would you believe?
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's hard to say goodbye
Now all that's left
Pictures on the walls
Memories and stories that are told
The more often told the bigger they get
Create a legacy lest we forget
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
No longer can I hold onto this defeated change in heart
I swear
It's time to sing "fare thee well" to life as we know it
My voice it will be,
You know I will be,
Yes it will be still
Something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy
Halfway there but He always fills my cup
And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
I never took the time
To stop and realize
That death takes many forms
Even while alive
The rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams
And this burning tree that's withering will bloom again
Would you believe?
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's hard to say goodbye
Now all that's left
Pictures on the walls
Memories and stories that are told
The more often told the bigger they get
Create a legacy lest we forget
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
No longer can I hold onto this defeated change in heart
I swear
It's time to sing "fare thee well" to life as we know it
My voice it will be,
You know I will be,
Yes it will be still
Something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy
Halfway there but He always fills my cup
And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
I never took the time
To stop and realize
That death takes many forms
Even while alive

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 never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms even while alive"
Such a great/sad song. The guy sings with such pure emotion.
song means soo much more if you take a look at your life with the song
Almost two years ago, I ended the best friendship I had ever had because I knew that it was only hurting me. This totally applied to my life then, because while I knew things had to be different, I also knew that we always had these great memories, and pictures of us, and stories to tell people, and I knew that we could be friends again. It's a very good song, and it's still very comforting to me.
this is such a melancholy song. but its beautiful. and the lead singer's voice is so haunting.
This song, to me, is more of a religious song.."He always fills my cup And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up" really gives ya a big clue. he's talking about god. so i guess i'm trying to say this is a pretty sad song! whoever said it was comforting was right, it is. andd.. this is my first post:)
Beautiful....
"I never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms even while alive".....what does that line mean?
It means that death is as much a part of life as living and that it is manifoldly active in the aspects of our lives.
I think the line "I never took the time to stop an drealize that death takes many forms even while alive" is talking about the way a christian is to live. It gives the picture of how we are to die to ourselves (or to our sin) and become alive in Christ.
("I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." -- Galations 2:20)
There's plenty of other scriptures that talk about that.
I actually wrote about this song in my xanga a little while ago. Check it out if you want to at: xanga.com/item.aspx

this means that death does not only happen in physical form or in our bodies but also in spiritual form or in our souls. we may still be breathing and living in this world but our spirit maybe dead if we don't have Christ in our lives.
