This night is broken
Is broken
Your mind is your prison
Is your prison

These sight, these sight lines

Your eyes have seen the sunset
In the west end
The chaos of spinning signs
Of who's lost and,
Who's listening

These sight, these sight lines
And you fell in a web
That you'll never crawl out of;
Hopeless again
You're perpetually falling
falling again.

You've no time to squander
Your existance
They'll pull you down
Until there's no choice left but to resist them

These sight, these sight lines
And you fell in a web
That you'll never crawl out of;
Hopeless again
You're perpetually falling
falling again.

You kept control
What all your senses fear
You can't protect
The ones that you hold dear
It swallows you up
Until you disappear

And you'll never know
How to get home again
Home again
How to get home again
Home again
How to get home again

This night is broken
Is broken

    When listening to this song, I thought the lyrics were: (instead of unfailing away...);

    And you fell in a web That you'll crawl out of Hopeless again You're perpetually falling falling again.

    - Which would make sense since it is for the Spiderman soundtrack. It really sounds like thats what he's saying.

    sorry little mistake

    not

    that you'll crawl out of.. i mean that you never crawl out of

    And you fell in a web that you'll never crawl out of.

Plastic Bag
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.
