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"
I've been away
Searching for a reason
Another purpose to find
I've sailed the seas
Fought my many demons
I've looked to gods in the skies
I've stood in hell
Where many had to suffer
I stared the devil in the eyes
Walked many roads
To witness ancient idols
And found the great gates of fire
Had many storms
Questioned my conviction
Gave armies reason to rise
The hangman searching
For bones he can borrow
While I escaped in the night
Final plight
Live again
All roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
'Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
Escape the hell
Of capitulated mortals
And drink the blood of a king
A desert rain
Has washed away direction
Had angels looking after me
So it seems
Live again
all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
'Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
My story ends
Not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world
Through the eyes of a nomad
Home is where the heart is
I've been told
So I go
Live again
All roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
'Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Searching for a reason
Another purpose to find
I've sailed the seas
Fought my many demons
I've looked to gods in the skies
I've stood in hell
Where many had to suffer
I stared the devil in the eyes
Walked many roads
To witness ancient idols
And found the great gates of fire
Had many storms
Questioned my conviction
Gave armies reason to rise
The hangman searching
For bones he can borrow
While I escaped in the night
Final plight
Live again
All roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
'Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
Escape the hell
Of capitulated mortals
And drink the blood of a king
A desert rain
Has washed away direction
Had angels looking after me
So it seems
Live again
all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
'Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
My story ends
Not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world
Through the eyes of a nomad
Home is where the heart is
I've been told
So I go
Live again
All roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
'Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
Well a person on a journey is what i would think. He went every where searching and seen so much and after all of that he is finally coming home also i would think of war in this song. I know this might not be right what i'am saying but their is nothing here so yeah better then nothing lolz.
