This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Our Eyes are bleeding
Courtesy of everything
That you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper
Than the sharpest knife, yeah
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around
We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying
To stop and consider life
So many pretty, pretty pictures
On the walls and on your fingertips, well
Let's sew the borders 'round it
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're bleeding down
Ain't no way to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I need, I need, I need, I need
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded
Shoot it up, shoot it in, bleeding
All this callous skin
In a way, I've been feeling incomplete
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem, everyone
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
Now I know real love is for free
Courtesy of everything
That you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper
Than the sharpest knife, yeah
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around
We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying
To stop and consider life
So many pretty, pretty pictures
On the walls and on your fingertips, well
Let's sew the borders 'round it
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're bleeding down
Ain't no way to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I need, I need, I need, I need
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded
Shoot it up, shoot it in, bleeding
All this callous skin
In a way, I've been feeling incomplete
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem, everyone
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
Now I know real love is for free

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
i think this song is about being depressed, and then looking at the world around you and finding everything that is wrong with it...the alienation and loneliness that come with living in the ultra-sanitized, vacuum-sealed environment of the modern world...
a lot of matt's songs are about drugs, and i feel like this one approaches them on the level of "i'm miserable in this bleak world, and i do drugs to make it more interesting and least somewhat bareable"
i've definitely met a lot of people who use drugs for reasons like that i think this song was written in a whirlwind of emotion
