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.
One emotion
It's all over the place
You let it get out
It cuts in your face
One emotion
Back of a shop
Everybody wants what the next guy's got
One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion
One emotion
Don't think I don't trust
People trample people on the daily bus
One emotion
Fighting through the night
And if you can keep your buttons down
When it gets right
One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion
One emotion
Smokin' through the town
Banging on the doors
And (???)
One emotion
Boy meets girl
Smashing (???)
It's that kind of world
One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion
One emotion
Moving out loud
Better get your weapon ready
Walking through the crowd
One emotion
Back of a shop
Everybody wants what the next guy's got
One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion
One emotion

And if you can keep your buttons down

Plastic Bag

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.
Good song, seems to be about how the only emotion people feel now is greed.
