Hey, I get it.
The sun has never seemed so bright.
The colors never seemed so loud.
And there’s so many pretty girls.
I get it. But don't forget who you are
and who you were.
Because if you put passion before principle.
You'll lose. (You'll lose)
Even if you win, you'll lose. (You'll lose)
Even if you win.
It's just the side effects of youth
that make you do those foolish things you do.
Hey, surfs up.
Life comes and goes in such a blur
Just don't forget who you are and who you were.
Never put passion before principle.
(Don't forget) Who you are..and who you were…
Because even if you win you'll lose.
It's just the side effects of youth
that make you do those foolish things you do.
So don't let the shine pull you away.
Don't fall in love with a foolish game.
We are the strong ones, we have our sight.
Our feet are quick to move to do what we like.
So let's drop our passions and our lustful ways
and find some meaning in these last days.
We swim through poison. Our brains aren't bad.
(YET)
We are the visionaries.
Oh…am I getting scary?
This is the realest of the real.
This is something you can feel.
Something tangible.
Something so obtainable.
And yet so far away.
Farther than Mars,
and shooting stars,
and flying cars.
So when you gonna learn kid?
Huh?
When you gonna learn kid?
These are the side effects of you!
The sun has never seemed so bright.
The colors never seemed so loud.
And there’s so many pretty girls.
I get it. But don't forget who you are
and who you were.
Because if you put passion before principle.
You'll lose. (You'll lose)
Even if you win, you'll lose. (You'll lose)
Even if you win.
It's just the side effects of youth
that make you do those foolish things you do.
Hey, surfs up.
Life comes and goes in such a blur
Just don't forget who you are and who you were.
Never put passion before principle.
(Don't forget) Who you are..and who you were…
Because even if you win you'll lose.
It's just the side effects of youth
that make you do those foolish things you do.
So don't let the shine pull you away.
Don't fall in love with a foolish game.
We are the strong ones, we have our sight.
Our feet are quick to move to do what we like.
So let's drop our passions and our lustful ways
and find some meaning in these last days.
We swim through poison. Our brains aren't bad.
(YET)
We are the visionaries.
Oh…am I getting scary?
This is the realest of the real.
This is something you can feel.
Something tangible.
Something so obtainable.
And yet so far away.
Farther than Mars,
and shooting stars,
and flying cars.
So when you gonna learn kid?
Huh?
When you gonna learn kid?
These are the side effects of you!

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”

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.

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.
