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.
In the blinding darkness
Of the night it seems simple
All I know is that I love you here right now
It's not as if I wanted
To fall so hard for you or even understand
These woken feelings
I love you in my own way i love you better
I love you inside all this
I love you forever
All these words are useless
When I look into your eyes
It's the simple truth of perfect
Little secrets
You're the only thing I'm sure of
And it makes it all so hard
All the other things are broken out of focus
I love you in my own way i love you better
I love you inside all this
I love you forever
In the blinding darkness
Of the night it seems simple
All I know is that I love you here right now
It's not as if I wanted
To fall so hard for you or even understand
These woken feelings
I love you in my own way i love you better
I love you inside all this
I love you forever i love you in my own way
I love you better i love you inside all this
I love you forever
Of the night it seems simple
All I know is that I love you here right now
It's not as if I wanted
To fall so hard for you or even understand
These woken feelings
I love you in my own way i love you better
I love you inside all this
I love you forever
All these words are useless
When I look into your eyes
It's the simple truth of perfect
Little secrets
You're the only thing I'm sure of
And it makes it all so hard
All the other things are broken out of focus
I love you in my own way i love you better
I love you inside all this
I love you forever
In the blinding darkness
Of the night it seems simple
All I know is that I love you here right now
It's not as if I wanted
To fall so hard for you or even understand
These woken feelings
I love you in my own way i love you better
I love you inside all this
I love you forever i love you in my own way
I love you better i love you inside all this
I love you forever

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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 just got the You're All I Have single the other day and have only listened to this one once, but so far I'm liking what I hear. I think it's just about how (kind of obviously) he loves her, but didn't start out loving her ("It's not as if I wanted/ To fall so hard for you"). But yeah, as I was listening to this one, I kept thinking about this guy who I know likes me, and of all these little moments that we had in the past, and then this song wasn't exactly helping me, but it will probably end up helping him. But this is an awesome song. Cheers for Snow Patrol!
These Lyrics are not quite correct. They should be as follows:
in the blinding darkness of the night it seems simple all i know is that i love you here right now
it's not as if i wanted to fall so hard for you or even understand these woken feelings
i love my own way i love you better i love you inside all this i love you forever
all this words are useless when i look into your eyes it's the simple truth of perfect, little secret
with the only thing i'm sure of and it makes it all so hard all that other things are broken out of focus
Sounds awesome.
Beautiful lyrics, as always with snow patrol.
They got the lyrics wrong, they are missing a word... "i love YOU my own way i love you better i love you inside all this i love you forever"
does anybody know where I can download this song?? I'M searching for it so a long time... I don#t have the single "you're all I have" and in the stores I can't find it anymore. does anybody have this song????
The song is on Youtube and you can download things from Youtube (with a programme). I'm sure you will figure it out.
I've been trying to find it too ..and in vain. It must be a rare song and I first heard it through the movie "Love + hate" which I found to be enlightening lol.
I think the only way to get a hold of this song is by buying it through the itunes store or sites that sell MP3s for a couple of cents each dl, Limewire doesn't seem to have it. Shame =(
I dedicate this song to a person called bj.x3
