This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I try to make sense of your words
I try to read between the lines
but I conclude another day's search without you
an endless dial away
if it's my presence you desire
and it's not these dots that you require
if it's the pain of living alone
"I love you"'s a meaningless dial away
can I tell you how it's hanging?
talk and get back understanding?
it seems like that, but tell me, baby
yeah...
you're just too perfect to be true
and i can't stand talking to you
if it's too late, well
maybe I'll call if you're there
an empty dial away
can I tell you how it's hanging?
talk and get back understanding?
it seems like that, but tell me, baby
yeah...
I wish that we could all know
better than now so we wouldn't feel so dumb
and I wish something would happen soon
so we'd avoid such embarrassing calls
how about if I told you, hmm, frankly
how about if you said: "this calls for some action!
come, let's go,"
I understand that I'm the one
who should call you up and sound like fun
maybe I'll get you, maybe I won't
but just know
I'm no more than a dial away
tell me how it's hanging
get back understanding
tell me, baby
yeah...

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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 means both people after a break-up want to talk to each other because they still care about each other, but can't because it's too difficult. They don't know who should call first, and if they're ready to talk without it being painful.
"You're too perfect to be true and I can't stand talking to you"
After my first break-up with my boyfriend and best friend, I just wanted everything to be better between us. I didn't want us to hurt anymore. I wanted to talk, I wanted to hear about his day, but there was too much emotion attached to even a phone conversation. So all there is to do is to give it time.. I'm waiting until talking on the phone is a pleasant thing again.
