Lost, here is nowhere
Searching home still
Turning past me, all are gone
Time is now
The omen showed, took me away
Preparations are done, this can't last
The mere reflection brought disgust
No ordeal to conquer, this firm slit
It sheds upon the floor, dripping into a pool
Grant me sleep, take me under
Like the wings of a dove, folding around
I fade into this tender care
Searching home still
Turning past me, all are gone
Time is now
The omen showed, took me away
Preparations are done, this can't last
The mere reflection brought disgust
No ordeal to conquer, this firm slit
It sheds upon the floor, dripping into a pool
Grant me sleep, take me under
Like the wings of a dove, folding around
I fade into this tender care

@[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.
Magical

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.

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.
In my opinion blackwater park is a concept album talking about a place called "blackwater park" that during winter is infested by leper. I think that the whole story is narrated by the same man that in the first two songs sees his lover dying by leper, until in harvest she dies. After he also becomes infected and he is disgusted by the fact that everyone has abandoned him, so in "dirge for november" he decides to commit suicide. In "the funeral portrait" he is a ghost , infact in the last song we can read the word "Fluttering",and he describes how his dead body is covered by snow. Finally in the last song he is like a spectator that describes the other lepers death and he reflects about how healthy people were insensitive whit this situation. Sorry if my english is wrong but I'm italian :D That's just my interpretation
I think you nailed it with that interpretation.
One Word : Suicide.
One word: fuckingawesomeandoneofthebestopethsongsever!
it doesnt have alot of lyrics.. which is kinda bad when a song is almost 8 minuites long. still is awesome though. "suicide" does cover it pretty well
just talking about the best fucking opeth song.
it's definitely about suicide, or the consideration of it anyway. the lyrics are pretty spine tingling. almost like the way a master surrealist paints. the words and phrases are few and turse. but they paint pictures like the most effective poem does.
michael, its hard not to label him a genuis (especially in an age when almost everybody is dubbed an artist). he's a fucking poet.
lost here is no where searchin home still turning past me all are gone time is now
every line paints a vivid image. reeking with sorrow and dispair. fucking brilliant.
the music i must admit is what drives this heartwrenching ballad. so theatrical and dramatic... almost like a climax to the perfect greek tragedy.
makes me wanna forget about everything and remember how important and necessary music really is in this dreary grey dismal world.
the ending... what can i say about the ending? the simple melodies running as though in part writing reminds me of the faculty of memory. the ending speaks to you of reverie.

"Like the wings of a dove, folding around I fade into this tender care "
one of the best lines ever
that guitar part from 0:40 to 1:40.. man i just cant handle it, so amazing, deep, inspiring , so much feelings on that part...
soo deep,
It describes the last peaceful-like moments of someone’s life of loneliness, suffering and self hate as they commit suicide. A lost soul that became convinced that it was his/her fate; “The Omen showed, took me away.”
Frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt has even mentioned himself that this track is about suicide and has also noted that it's actually his favorite from the record Blackwater Park, saying "it's just so dark and simple."
I love this song very much.. hence my screen name and all. But I think that, although "suicide" does cover it really well, it's kind of about.. the thought process DURING the act of suicide, you know? Anyone could write a song about 'cutting yourself and dying because of blah blah' (and that's why we have emo) but this song is so much deeper, just going into the mind of the author.
opeth is the best band on the planet. I love how bi-polar their music is and i love the dual nature of mikaels voice and this song shows the best sides of opeth
