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"
When the end is getting closer
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die
Here's the massacre
A mausoleum fit for me
Lived a hundred years
A hundred years I didn't see
Gave all my hope away
Is there any left for me?
Bombs are splitting atoms
What can the future bring?
We can fill a million choirs
And wait 'til children sing
We can walk a million miles
And end up in the sea
And our lungs just keep filling
And lying when we breathe
The world's filled with liars
Liars like me!
And I look at my child
It's finite, this feeling
Eyes blue like the sky
I see all of this meaning
I reach up to God
And I ask if I'm dreaming
So sorry I don't have
Those things that you're needing
And darling a kiss
Kiss me, I'm leaving!
When the end is getting closer
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die
As my body lies here broken
And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open
Just let me die!
Everybody says greetings and goodbyes
Everybody pays, no one knows the price
We know the price of sin
The sin of sacrifice
I know I'll sin again
But who can save me twice?
How much can we ask?
You'll get the answer first
How much can we kneel
With the air that chills the Earth?
The air keeps getting colder
My knees keep hitting dirt
The innocent can cry without the guilty getting hurt
You ask who you love and you don't know, no, do you?
The spirit of God just passes right through you
You gave away heaven handed right to you
And I can see it all
Tell me, is it true?
Kiss me, my darling
(Darling, I need you)
Where do we go?
We go, oh, Lord, I don't know
Where we go?
We go, no
(I don't know)
Where do we go?
We go, oh, Lord, I don't know
Where we go?
We go, no
Lord, I don't know!
When the end is getting closer
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die
As my body lies here broken
And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open
Just let me die!
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die
Here's the massacre
A mausoleum fit for me
Lived a hundred years
A hundred years I didn't see
Gave all my hope away
Is there any left for me?
Bombs are splitting atoms
What can the future bring?
We can fill a million choirs
And wait 'til children sing
We can walk a million miles
And end up in the sea
And our lungs just keep filling
And lying when we breathe
The world's filled with liars
Liars like me!
And I look at my child
It's finite, this feeling
Eyes blue like the sky
I see all of this meaning
I reach up to God
And I ask if I'm dreaming
So sorry I don't have
Those things that you're needing
And darling a kiss
Kiss me, I'm leaving!
When the end is getting closer
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die
As my body lies here broken
And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open
Just let me die!
Everybody says greetings and goodbyes
Everybody pays, no one knows the price
We know the price of sin
The sin of sacrifice
I know I'll sin again
But who can save me twice?
How much can we ask?

How much can we kneel
With the air that chills the Earth?
The air keeps getting colder

You ask who you love and you don't know, no, do you?
The spirit of God just passes right through you
You gave away heaven handed right to you
And I can see it all
Tell me, is it true?
Kiss me, my darling
(Darling, I need you)

(I don't know)
Where do we go?
We go, oh, Lord, I don't know
Where we go?
We go, no
Lord, I don't know!
When the end is getting closer
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die
As my body lies here broken
And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open
Just let me die!

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
you have re written the first verse as the second.. i'm pretty sure that it goes like this (from ear)..
Everybody says greetings and goodbyes Everybody pays but no one knows the price We know the price of sin, the sin of sacrifice I know I'll sing the __ but who could save me twice? How much can we ask? You'll get the answer first How much can we kneel with the air that chills the earth? The air keeps getting colder, my knees keep hitting dirt the __ without the innocent gettin' hurt You ask who you love and you don't know, no do you The spirit of God just passes right through you You gave away Heaven, handed right to you And I can see it all, tell me is it true Kiss me my darling (darling I need you)
and also you missed the bridge..
Where do we go, we go? Oh, Lord I don't know Where we go, we go. No.... I SAID Where do we go, we go? Oh, Lord I don't know Where we go, we go. No.... LORD I DON'T KNOW
Then the final chorus.. Sorry for the blanks, I think he says "din" or "den" at the first but I really have no idea at the second one.. Hope this helps, its an awesome song. Cheers ;D
By the way, it's "I know I'll sin again, but who can save me twice?"<br /> And "The innocent can cry, without the guilty getting hurt."<br /> Nice try though :)
