sigh - for they make you feel alive
try - it´s just one step aside
fly - over seas of drunken wine
lie - cause you´ll never draw a line

cry - for they leave you cold and dead
ride - til the last of suns is set

don´t dive too deep - too deep into the sea

come and be a child of the blue
we make the azure dream come true

i drift and fall - sapphire spear inside
they come for me and softly close my eyes

fight - for this is your last chance

come and be a child of the blue
leave the past, we make it new

you will always be our child

    This actually reminds me of the myth form my homeland,Greece. The myth of the Sirens. Beautiful mermaids with enchanting voices that lured ships and sailors in their watery grave...So attractive and true! I am certainly a child of the blue since I grew up ashore and learned how to swim before I learned how to walk, and that's why I know that the sea makes you forget your fears and underestimate safety, appeals to you the way Sirens' do! Gorgeous song!

Plastic Bag
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.
