“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
'I don't want this anymore' is all I heard her say as I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door.
With my music in my phones and my bike under my feet, things started to look different as I got out on the street. Sometimes I see her face in the new people that I meet We're not who we thought we were when we saw this dream
Sometimes when I just can't sleep I hear the words you said to me:
How did you get so deep inside of me?
I wake up and I move on, I admit the past is gone,
I wake up and I refine Moving foward to the next lifetime, I leave it all behind.
Sometimes when I just can't sleep I hear the words you said to me:
Sometimes it takes a painful loss to realize you are free How did you get so deep inside of me?
With my music in my phones and my bike under my feet, things started to look different as I got out on the street. Sometimes I see her face in the new people that I meet We're not who we thought we were when we saw this dream
Sometimes when I just can't sleep I hear the words you said to me:
How did you get so deep inside of me?
I wake up and I move on, I admit the past is gone,
I wake up and I refine Moving foward to the next lifetime, I leave it all behind.
Sometimes when I just can't sleep I hear the words you said to me:
Sometimes it takes a painful loss to realize you are free How did you get so deep inside of me?

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.

Sunglasses at Night

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
it baffles me that no one had commented on this INCREDBILE song! its so right on the bullseye! its like after you break up u cant help but think about that person and you wonder how they got so deep inside of you? and its just so hard to conquer that...i dont know i just love this song!
Its the whole 'how did you get so deep inside of me?' that gets me every time.
