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”
Layin' on the couch just,
hangin' with my boys
we're chillin' up the house tonight
I'm being myself
I'm nobody else ‘cause
this is what we do alright
you'll always find
[Chorus]
I'm not wearing any make-up,
won't hide who I am,
I'll be what I am
I'm just being honest with my self once again
I'm my only friend
Kickin' off my shoes
I'm strummin' my guitar
I'm singin' songs about my life
if I could tell the truth
I'd tell you what I meant by
me, myself, and I
you'll always find
[Chorus]
No more mirrors
no more vanity
give it all away for free
donate to charity
I am happy in my skin
I try, in my heart it's not the same
you'll always find
[Chorus]
Lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight,
lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight,
lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight,
lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight
hangin' with my boys
we're chillin' up the house tonight
I'm being myself
I'm nobody else ‘cause
this is what we do alright
you'll always find
[Chorus]
I'm not wearing any make-up,
won't hide who I am,
I'll be what I am
I'm just being honest with my self once again
I'm my only friend
Kickin' off my shoes
I'm strummin' my guitar
I'm singin' songs about my life
if I could tell the truth
I'd tell you what I meant by
me, myself, and I
you'll always find
[Chorus]
No more mirrors
no more vanity
give it all away for free
donate to charity
I am happy in my skin
I try, in my heart it's not the same
you'll always find
[Chorus]
Lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight,
lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight,
lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight,
lay on my couch, hang with my boys, chill at my house tonight

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

Blue

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.
Its a song about just bein urself and being happy in ur skin
i like it! it's a song about...just chillin! idk where it's from though i just got it off limewire :S
-erin
love this song chillin with her boys- band.
"I’m not wearing any make-up, won’t hide who I am, I’ll be what I am I’m just being honest with my self once again I’m my only friend"
she's such a hypocrite.. what about tons of eyeliner she uses???
haven't heard this song i don't think. but it's like me. of course, i'm young, but i know 10 year olds who wear make up. i say stuff like "i dont need to wear make up. its saying 'im not pretty enough so let's paint my face so guys will like me!'' it shows you have no self confidence in your looks, and apparently, need to fix yourself up to attact boys' attention. if you need to change who you are to get someone's attention, they're not worth it. they have to love you for who you are. sure, i admit, make up makes some people look better. but if you wear make up, earn the boy, you'll never feel comfortable with a bare face again. see my point?
yeah no doubt avril wears tons of eyeliner.
eh what the fxxk is she on about not wearin any make up? have u seen her puss these days?!!! shes absolutely PLASTERED in it! she used to only wear eyeliner in her earlier days.. but now it looks like she just dipped her head in a bucket of foundation!!
lol jst came here to rant..
wow. dumbasses. "makeup" is a metaphor. she's saying she's not hiding who she is, and covering up certain parts of her PERSONALITY. not literally dear.
