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”
You can play dirty
Or you can play clean
Lookin' for pleasure
You're bustin' out your seams
You can play it loose
Or you can play it tight
Make the boys sweat
On a Saturday night
Oh yeah, you're the talk of the neighborhood
They're saying somethin' bad
Saying somethin' good
You can carry on like an ice machine
Or you can give it up to me
So you wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Better think once better think twice
You can race the eyes
I can let you go
Caught up in the madness
Of a worn out show
You can level passion
You can carry the cast
Make the boys think
You saved the best for last
Oh yeah you're the talk of the neighborhood
The queen of broken hearts
You like 'em good
Yeah you can carry on like an ice machine
Or you can give it up to me
So you wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Better think once better think twice
You wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Gonna get hurt better think twice
Oh yeah, heard the cop from the neighborhood
He caught you goin' down
You think you would
Yeah yea you can carry on like an ice machine
Or you can give it up to me
So you wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Better think once better think twice
You wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Gonna get hurt better think twice
Or you can play clean
Lookin' for pleasure
You're bustin' out your seams
You can play it loose
Or you can play it tight
Make the boys sweat
On a Saturday night
Oh yeah, you're the talk of the neighborhood
They're saying somethin' bad
Saying somethin' good
You can carry on like an ice machine
Or you can give it up to me
So you wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Better think once better think twice
You can race the eyes
I can let you go
Caught up in the madness
Of a worn out show
You can level passion
You can carry the cast
Make the boys think
You saved the best for last
Oh yeah you're the talk of the neighborhood
The queen of broken hearts
You like 'em good
Yeah you can carry on like an ice machine
Or you can give it up to me
So you wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Better think once better think twice
You wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Gonna get hurt better think twice
Oh yeah, heard the cop from the neighborhood
He caught you goin' down
You think you would
Yeah yea you can carry on like an ice machine
Or you can give it up to me
So you wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Better think once better think twice
You wanna play rough tonight
It's all in the way that you roll the dice
You wanna play rough tonight
Gonna get hurt better think twice

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.
