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”
Thank you, thank you
And for my latest basket of cheers, here it goes, baby
Mess up my mind, mess up my mind
Mess up my mind with the eye patch
Mess up my mind, mess up my mind
Mess up my mind with the eye patch
Mess up my mind, mess up my mind
Mess up my mind with the eye patch (Everything I do's gon' be fine)
Channeling in sync so my would bring (what?)
With that causin' all fat
I'm responsible for ya diet (keep it quiet)
Yo, I got beats, state this stitch on my national fabric
My daughter will speak the Arabic, that's how I live
Levitate to my nation when holding up your nickels
I pie like crumble so I don like Rickles
Like green on the pickle
My papes are the up master of the cabbage patch
Ya eyes got the latch
So catch the cut, I hold the rut
For my people's reminder when in Maseo Path
I be the finder of the patch
Can the cat's tongue slip, ya do the 'da dip'
Take the horse into the jolly ranch
Keep the hush
The good, the bad, and Uncle Tom, beat it, kid (whoa)
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Show the sheep 'cause I found the food
When I string the man with the eye patch, the eye patch
When I'm walkin' it and could ya make it go sha-na-na-na? (Mmh)
It sniffs good
Punks show disguises while I'm standing in the wood
I be the in 'cause the brother holdin' Glocks is out
I be the in 'cause the pusher runnin' blocks is out
I be the in 'cause the kid smokin' weed
Shootin' seed which leads to a girl's stomach
Being 'bout a half a ton is out
Show the finger print and give me good grief for my lumber
Pants will sag 'cause I'm licensed as a plumber
Feel the Plug (yo, something's wrong here?)
Now give a shout
What's up? I'd like to give a holla to Big 47 off in the Oakenone
And I bring an income in to my baby girl Twyla in White Plains
And all my peoples out in Delaware
Yeah, yeah, yeah and I like to give a shout out to all those rappers
Who dissed us on records, and I wanna let you know you're still wack
And, oh, yeah, I ain't mentioned no names 'cause you might f-
Hold it, I'm sorry I didn't know you were going back to that
(Ecoutez, ecoutez)
And for my latest basket of cheers, here it goes, baby
Mess up my mind, mess up my mind
Mess up my mind with the eye patch
Mess up my mind, mess up my mind
Mess up my mind with the eye patch
Mess up my mind, mess up my mind
Mess up my mind with the eye patch (Everything I do's gon' be fine)
Channeling in sync so my would bring (what?)

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.
