(Hi)

Scars will heal soon
This dreg in us spent the earth down

Better than drowning in a burlap sack
I live as Alice, I die
Children shouldn't play with dead things
Foaming crows tear at their wings
Sad eyes cry crimson blood

Drop it, it's dead
Wheels won't turn
They turn the bird's head
Sad eyes, sad eyes like sharpened daggers
You'll never walk, only stagger
Sad eyes, quite cryptic, bye

    it should be "children shouldnt play with dead things" instead of "sugar shooting, bled with deadbeats"

    i think that bit's about bird flu, i think i heard it somewhere. and that would link in to the lyric "drop it, it's dead", like what the adult would be saying to a child.

    and definately "i live, i die"

Plastic Bag
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.
