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 was wrong
We are not these bodies alone
In a dream with a mind of its own
I I know you long
To be tethered and tied to the heart of the One
The one that be layin' you down
On that ancient ground
Nothin' more to be found
Ah yeah
[Chorus:]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love the only thing in
Common was
We knew there was somethin' more
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love
To hear the voice in the wilderness
The other side of the door
Somethin' more
I feel strong
I'm finally at peace
The war is all gone
By no cause of my own
Like an eagle cuts through the air
No time for fear
Faith in his wings takes him there
[Chorus]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love the only thing in
Common was
We knew there was somethin' more
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love
To hear the voice in the wilderness
The other side of the door
Somethin' more
More than these
Women in the streets pullin' out their hair
Somethin' more
Somethin' more than all the pain we feel
Somethin' more
More than we could dream of, all light
Love-bliss, no death and no fear
No fear
[Chorus]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love the only thing in common was
We knew there was somethin' more
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love
To hear the voice in the wilderness
The other side of the door
Somethin' more
I was wrong
Oh yeah, I was wrong
We are not these bodies alone
In a dream with a mind of its own
I I know you long
To be tethered and tied to the heart of the One
The one that be layin' you down
On that ancient ground
Nothin' more to be found
Ah yeah
[Chorus:]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love the only thing in
Common was
We knew there was somethin' more
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love
To hear the voice in the wilderness
The other side of the door
Somethin' more
I feel strong
I'm finally at peace
The war is all gone
By no cause of my own
Like an eagle cuts through the air
No time for fear
Faith in his wings takes him there
[Chorus]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love the only thing in
Common was
We knew there was somethin' more
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love
To hear the voice in the wilderness
The other side of the door
Somethin' more
More than these
Women in the streets pullin' out their hair
Somethin' more
Somethin' more than all the pain we feel
Somethin' more
More than we could dream of, all light
Love-bliss, no death and no fear
No fear
[Chorus]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love the only thing in common was
We knew there was somethin' more
Now we walk in the dream
But dream no more
To live a life in love
To hear the voice in the wilderness
The other side of the door
Somethin' more
I was wrong
Oh yeah, I was wrong

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.
American Town

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.
From the beginning, a search for the meaning of life appears in Live' s lyrics, chronogically, like humanity. The hero makes mistakes first, then he overcomes his delusions, confesses his mistakes to THE ONE, and offers his appology. With this song and also the album, humanity reaches the spiritual healing and attains.
