This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
As she walks in the room
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realize that love flows
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life
I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realize that love flows
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life
I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

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.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. To me, it is a lot less depressing than what many others here are feeling.
I see the first stanza as the singer reflecting upon herself and all the doubt and uncertainty she encounters and the bitterness that arises in life, but she realizes that love flows and that is what matters.
The chorus expresses the way the course of life sweeps us away like a riptide and that her feelings send the darkness and pain away and underneath, leaving her wondering if and wishing she could follow the ways of the riptide.
The third stanza shows the singer again encountering horrible suffering and doubt and a general dissatisfaction for life and the way things are.
Then as the song begins to take on a more upbeat pace, the chorus again arises in a different form to elaborate the singer's wondering if she can be swept away by the riptide of love with new a hopeful and optimistic outlook.
@Pterodacyl I agree completely with you, but I will add that to me this could be about the feeling of lost love or unrequested love, a certain bitterness in the middle of an immense tenderness. One comes to the realization that never the less love exist on his own, it does not diminish or stop to exist because is not reciprocated, it flows in new ways, towards yourself, towards life, towards people, a certain kind of consciousness about existence, hopeful and optimistic, but never the less an exhausting learning process. To me is an amazing song because it translates for me in that way, which could not necessarily the real meaning, but that's the good thing about good songs.
