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”
I can't explain but I wanna try
There's this image of you and I
And it goes dancing by
In the morning and in the night time
There's all these secrets that I can't keep
Like in my heart there's that hotel suite
And you lived there so long
It's kinda strange, now you're gone
I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
There's all those places we used to go
And I suspect you already know
But that place on memory lane you like still looks the same
But something about it's changed
I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
And I thought I was yours (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Forever (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or maybe I was mistaken (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
But I just cannot manage (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
To make it through the day (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Without thinking of you lately
I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
There's this image of you and I
And it goes dancing by
In the morning and in the night time
There's all these secrets that I can't keep
Like in my heart there's that hotel suite
And you lived there so long
It's kinda strange, now you're gone

(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)

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.
First I would like to say this song fits my current situation. As I interprets this song I could be the one singing it.
I interprets this song as the two had ended their relationship, but he has some unresolved feelings towards her (Assumed), because he still has strong feelings for her, be she doesn't seem to know what she want's. He don't know if she's ever coming back, even though they have been together for so long. He thought they would be together allways and he can't move on the images of her (them) haunts his thoughts day and night. Still he can't get through the day without thinking of her. When he thinks of all the memories they had together, they are all ruined because the only reminds him of his loss. But in the end he is the one loosing. The hotel suite is an analogy the the space he has for her in his heart, however now that they aren't together anymore it feels empty, even though he still loves her.
I hope someone understands my interpretation of this song. Best Regards Chris S. Ramming
