You won't get much closer
Until you sacrifice it all (all)
You won't get to taste it
With your face against the wall (wall, wall)
Get up and commit
Show the power trapped within (in, in)
Do just what you want to
And now stand up and begin, oh

Ooh, one, two, three, four, fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooh, five, six, seven, minus nine lives
You've arrived at Panic Station

Doubts will try to break you
Unleash your heart and soul (soul)
Trouble will surround you
Start taking some control ('trol)
Stand up and deliver
Your wildest fantasy ('sy, 'sy)
Do what the fuck you want to
There's no-one to appease

Ooh, one, two, three, four, fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooh, five, six, seven, minus nine lives
You've arrived at Panic Station, wah!

Ooh, one, two, three, four, fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooh, five, six, seven, minus nine lives
And I know that you will fight for the duration

Ooh, one, two, three, four, fire's in your eyes
And I know I'm not resisting the temptations
Ooh, five, six, seven, minus nine lives
You've arrived at Panic Station, ooh!

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”

Page
Ed Sheeran
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
“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.
