Spinning, further deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt, make me feel
Locate what swallows life Night bird you build my world
The night close my eyes (and then I close my eyes)
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever takes to keep running free
Open scars
The quiet place
The bridges fall to the ground
And you say you sacrificed
The night close my eyes (and then I close my eyes)
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down!
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
Judge me now
The king in my own mind
Judge me now
The king in my own mind
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much better from today
A king in my own mind..
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt, make me feel
Locate what swallows life Night bird you build my world
The night close my eyes (and then I close my eyes)
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever takes to keep running free
Open scars
The quiet place
The bridges fall to the ground
And you say you sacrificed
The night close my eyes (and then I close my eyes)
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down!
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
Judge me now
The king in my own mind
Judge me now
The king in my own mind
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much better from today
A king in my own mind..

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.
Since the website is called songmeanings.net, and not BandDebate.net, I'm going to go ahead and write what I think this song is about! After listening to this song a few dozen times, lyrics in-hand, I've decided that "The Quiet Place" is a state of mind that the songwriter, or the person he's writing abt., enters when he's doing drugs. "It's spinning further, deeper". is the sensation he has when he's starting get his high, "I know you're out to try me, I'm not in this to be a slave." could be his conscience rebelling against the addiction of the drugs, and his wanting to become free of the addiction. "Push the dirt, make me feel", I think is his way of saying how, since he's prettymuch numb when taking the drugs, he'd like to die, even if it's only to feel something. "Locate what swallows life Night bird you build my world". is his expressing how the addiction has (or had) become his life, and the "Night bird" is a synonym for whatever he was taking to get high. "And then I close my eyes". I think is exactly that, when he was doing the drug, while high, he'd close his eyes, and lay down to revel in the high. Finally, I think the whole "Judge me now, to King in my mind" is about how, when he's locked away wherever getting high, closing his eyes & safe, he was/is so content that no matter how others judged him, when he's high, he was a king, in his own mind, and the "Bow down" line is his way of telling his family/friends, whoever, that looked down on his drug use that they were his inferiors while he was high. That's just my take on this song, anyhow..
