This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So you got away
Something brought you back
To the kid that you were
For a couple days
Everything you lacked
You possessed
It was yours
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
With your hollow eyes
You keep coming back
It begins to transform
Can you spend the night?
Can you be the raft
In the eye of the storm?
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it's borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I'm already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
So you're beaten up
But you bounce back
It's all part of the pull
And the story runs
Like a soundtrack
We repeat 'til we're full
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it's borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I'm already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
So there's no way to hide
Find some daylight
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
Find some daylight
Open my eyes
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
Something brought you back
To the kid that you were
For a couple days
Everything you lacked
You possessed
It was yours
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
With your hollow eyes
You keep coming back
It begins to transform
Can you spend the night?
Can you be the raft
In the eye of the storm?
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it's borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I'm already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
So you're beaten up
But you bounce back
It's all part of the pull
And the story runs
Like a soundtrack
We repeat 'til we're full
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it's borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I'm already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
So there's no way to hide
Find some daylight
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
Find some daylight
Open my eyes
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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.
The song might be the idea of people maintaining unhealthy relationships because they are in search for confort, a point of reference, or a rescue. There is the idea that this kind of dynamic is inevitable, but also a desire to get out of this cycle.
Without getting too much in the details, there are different things that hit me in this song. A sens of movement in opposing directions, but in the same time of a vicious cycle. A lot of contradictions being lived simultaneously. Interactions that remind borderline-type behavior: rejecting the other, while clinging strongly and looking for reassurance. The many questions, which reminds the feeling of incertainty about every facet of the relationship. A feeling a powerlessness.
In the last verse, I find the line "There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden" interesting. It comes to the idea of leaving this confortable place. Why would someone do this? Because it also could mean getting access to a conscious and access to knowledge of what's good, bad and real. So, leaving this confortable (but harmful, as the song suggests) dynamic, would be what finally gives back power to the person.
@Ravenpuff Regarding the line "There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden", I think one of the keys to understanding it is to think about the normal way to leave the Garden of Eden: to be kicked out. The other way would have to mean leaving voluntarily, which seems to fit with the rest of your interpretation.
@Ravenpuff I've been looking for a way to express in words what I get emotionally out of this song. You've done it, along with the reply below.<br /> The song performed live is the most draining, in the worst/best way.
