This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
The day a door is closed,
The echoes fill your soul.
They won't say which way to go,
Just trust your heart.
To find what you're here for,
Open another door.
But I'm not sure anymore.
It's just so hard.
Voices in my head,
Tell me they know best!
Got me on the edge,
they're pushing, pushing,
they're pushing
I know they've got a plan,
But the ball's in my hands!
This time it's man to man,
I'm driving, fighting, inside a world that's upside down,and spinning faster.
What do I do now, without you?
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I'm kicking down the walls.
I've gotta make'em fall!
Just break through'em all!
I'm pushing, crashing, I'm gonna
Fight to find myself,
Me and no one else!
Which way I can't tell,
I'm searching, searching, can't find the way that should turn
I shoul turn right or left
It's like nothing works without you!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
Yeah the clock's, running down,
hear the crowd gettin' loud!
I'm consumed by the sound!
Is it her? Is it love?
Can the music ever be enough?
Gotta work it out, gotta work it out!
You can do it, you can do it!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
Ohh! Ahh!!!!
The echoes fill your soul.
They won't say which way to go,
Just trust your heart.
To find what you're here for,
Open another door.
But I'm not sure anymore.
It's just so hard.
Voices in my head,
Tell me they know best!
Got me on the edge,
they're pushing, pushing,
they're pushing
I know they've got a plan,
But the ball's in my hands!
This time it's man to man,
I'm driving, fighting, inside a world that's upside down,and spinning faster.
What do I do now, without you?
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I'm kicking down the walls.
I've gotta make'em fall!
Just break through'em all!
I'm pushing, crashing, I'm gonna
Fight to find myself,
Me and no one else!
Which way I can't tell,
I'm searching, searching, can't find the way that should turn
I shoul turn right or left
It's like nothing works without you!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?

Yeah the clock's, running down,

You can do it, you can do it!

I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
Ohh! Ahh!!!!

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.
Watching the movie, he poured so much heart and soul into the song. he looked absolutely tortured, so out of his mind about making the choice. it was amazing, completely took my breath away.

Wow...this was the best song in the whole movie. I was amazed at how much effort he put into it. He's an amazing dance. It makes me want to scream too!
great song to let some anger out on (x
Some of the lyrics are wrong like 4 instance "'cause I choke!" should "Without you!" This my fave HSM3 song an I also <3 BetOnIt (HSM2) which I think are somewhat related. The song "SCREAM!" is what I think about is: Troy is sad that Gabriella is moving. Again. 2 go2 the collage she practicly dreamed about going 2 herr whole life... He doesnt knoww whatt 2 do Without Her and he feels like the Whole World's Upside Down.... I may be wrong but hey, its all i gott (4 n0ww) -the_Ride_of_your_life
