This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You never really needed me
The way you need your nicotine
I watch you when you take a drag
Like a lover in your hands
Maybe I was just a sugar buzz
A little high but not enough
You felt me for a little while
But those highs, they never last
And I don't wanna be just another bad habit to you
When you're down to your last cigarette
And you think about what you regret
Do you miss me at all
When your hands start to shake, and you're down on your knees
Do you want me, like nicotine?
Am I running through your blood
Am I everything you crave
Do you miss the way I smell
Do you miss the way I taste?
Do you reach for me at night
Do I linger on your skin
Am I ever on your mind
Do you wonder where I've been?
And you say it's what you need
But I don't wanna be another bad habit to you
When you're down to your last cigarette
And you think about what you regret
Do you miss me at all
When your hands start to shake, and you're down on your knees
Do you want me, like nicotine?
Go on, go on, go on
Try to give me up
But you know you can't quit
I'm the burn in your mouth
And you can't spit me out
You can try
But you can't forget
When you're down to your last cigarette
And you think about what you regret
Do you miss me at all
When your hands start to shake, and you're down on your knees
Do you want me, like nicotine?
Like nicotine
Like nicotine
The way you need your nicotine
I watch you when you take a drag
Like a lover in your hands
Maybe I was just a sugar buzz
A little high but not enough
You felt me for a little while
But those highs, they never last
And I don't wanna be just another bad habit to you
When you're down to your last cigarette
And you think about what you regret
Do you miss me at all
When your hands start to shake, and you're down on your knees
Do you want me, like nicotine?
Am I running through your blood
Am I everything you crave
Do you miss the way I smell
Do you miss the way I taste?
Do you reach for me at night
Do I linger on your skin
Am I ever on your mind
Do you wonder where I've been?
And you say it's what you need
But I don't wanna be another bad habit to you
When you're down to your last cigarette
And you think about what you regret
Do you miss me at all
When your hands start to shake, and you're down on your knees
Do you want me, like nicotine?
Go on, go on, go on
Try to give me up
But you know you can't quit
I'm the burn in your mouth
And you can't spit me out
You can try
But you can't forget
When you're down to your last cigarette
And you think about what you regret
Do you miss me at all
When your hands start to shake, and you're down on your knees
Do you want me, like nicotine?
Like nicotine
Like nicotine

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”
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
It's about being in love with an addict, specifically someone who smokes cigarettes (look at the title of the song). It applies to my ex-boyfriend, who is struggling quitting smoking. I used to do it myself, but I quit cold turkey.
