Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
NO safe from the silence still haunting me
Away from this place where I've been to long
A mejestic sunset lays in wait for that beatiful day
That was never meant to be
When time and space collide in this head on crash
Who will be the first to break these silences with lies
If truth is pain then let me be your masochist
And bury the rest in this burning flame that is my life
This fate has dealt me nothing but broken glass
A single note that always rings off key
Just like the lines used in an overplayed tragedy
This time we've gone to far
You were so much better than this
This time we've gone to far
Leave all your lies
Leave all your tears
Remember Change is the only constant...
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies

You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
Away from this place where I've been to long
A mejestic sunset lays in wait for that beatiful day
That was never meant to be
When time and space collide in this head on crash
Who will be the first to break these silences with lies
If truth is pain then let me be your masochist
And bury the rest in this burning flame that is my life
This fate has dealt me nothing but broken glass
A single note that always rings off key
Just like the lines used in an overplayed tragedy
This time we've gone to far
You were so much better than this
This time we've gone to far
Leave all your lies
Leave all your tears
Remember Change is the only constant...
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies
Black Truth, White Lies

You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...
You were so much better than this...

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
