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.
December come to me
I hope I can see
You not just in dreams
I will let you be
Why can't you believe
How much you really mean
December won't you come
Back with snow even sun
Don't say that it's done
I will carry you home
Take you from the loneliest
Place you have known
I will carry you home
Take me from the loneliest
Place I have known
I hope I can see
You not just in dreams
I will let you be
Why can't you believe
How much you really mean
December won't you come
Back with snow even sun
Don't say that it's done
I will carry you home
Take you from the loneliest
Place you have known
I will carry you home
Take me from the loneliest
Place I have known

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 song isnt about december , its a metaphor of how lovely it is , so she's talking about this wonderful guy who she really misses and waiting for him and comparing him to december (christmas , gatherings, new year , gifts... all the joy). wonderful song with a wonderful lyrics i just love Norah
I have to disagree with fluffmeister (unless this person knows for sure), but I take the song quite literally.<br /> <br /> Maybe it's because I had a similar experience, but I feel like the song is yearning for a time (December) more than a person. It's like when you have an amazing month and want it back. <br /> <br /> This works for December because it is a cold winter month, but winter is still magical and warm (warm as in emotional warmth from holidays and happiness) at this point. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, January rolls around and all of a sudden you find yourself amidst a dark, cold winter without any lights or joy or holidays or family.<br /> <br /> Also, December in a way is still looked at as a cold, dark month despite the "holiday cheer" and so when she says "I will carry you home, back from the loneliest place you have known" it feels like, in a way, she is sort of saying she will enjoy its beauty and luster as opposed to seeing it as a dread (like many people do).<br /> <br /> The most pertinent think about this song to me is that most songs that honor certain months or times of the year (aside from Xmas music) rave about summer or spring. Even autumn.<br /> Songs that talk about February or December or January are usually about being cold and lonely and depressed.<br /> <br /> This is not a Xmas song, and so it is unique, and when I listen to this song I almost feel like she is singing to the month of December-- not only telling it she thinks it is wonderful, but that she wants it back.<br /> <br /> Another thing to keep in mind is that the album is called "The Fall," and in many ways has an autumny feel to it. Actually, I've always found Norah Jones to be my "autumn" soundtrack. <br /> In that case, December is the end of fall. It sort of seems like this song puts her on the other side of autumn (aka the dead of winter) and she's begging for it back, offering up her company to it.<br /> <br /> When I write it out it sort of sounds trite and dumb, but this meaning of the song holds a lot of significance to me because I felt the same way this year.
