This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
They don't know what they like so much about it
They just go for any shiny old bauble, and nobody sparkles like you
But I can't imagine it in better terms
Then naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work
And I'm starting to think it could happen to me like it did to you
And I'm starting to actually feel it seep through the slick divide now
I don't crack the door too far for anyone who's pushing too hard on me
They don't know what they like so much about it
Maybe it goes on the other side of the hallway
The writing's so small from here
But I can't imagine it in better terms
Then naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work
I won't decorate my love [Repeat: x4]
They just go for any shiny old bauble, and nobody sparkles like you
But I can't imagine it in better terms
Then naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work
And I'm starting to think it could happen to me like it did to you
And I'm starting to actually feel it seep through the slick divide now
I don't crack the door too far for anyone who's pushing too hard on me
They don't know what they like so much about it
Maybe it goes on the other side of the hallway
The writing's so small from here
But I can't imagine it in better terms
Then naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work
I won't decorate my love [Repeat: x4]

@[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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
My favorite off Whip-Smart, I think it's a personal song about being comfortable with a relationship after the fantasy part is over: three months in when you realize the other person is a person, flawed and normal.
This song is about Liz's plain, raw, love for someone. She sees him in his most vulnerable state: "naked, half awake, about to shave and go to work".
She won't decorate her love, she takes the relationship for what it is instead of dressing it up. She loves him for the person he truly is.
I always thought this song was about the the success of Guyville and the reaction to it.
"They don't know what they like so much about it."
Liz on people's reaction to Guyville.
"They just go for any shiny old bauble, and nobody sparkles like you"
Liz being being the indie darling, critical acclaim.
"But I can't imagine it in better terms than naked, half awake, about the shave and go to work."
Liz's description of Guyville.
"I won't decorate my love"
Why Liz had such overt sexual lyrics on Guyville. Something rather rare then.
I have no idea why it's called Nashville. Maybe it was written there?
"Maybe it goes on the other side of the hallway, the writing's so small from here." = A plaque, an award.
The singer can't imagine it being different than it is right now for her, naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work.
It's called Nashville for a dream. People who go there to find fame as a singer.
I think it's also about Liz's reaction to her own overnight success. She won't decorate her love. Make it something larger than it is. She sees it as something smaller and more intimate and personal than it became
Listen to the twanglike guitars and the chords... That's why it's called "Nashville".
Your analyses are perfect :)
Why the title 'Nashville' though?
Real.
this songs melody is amazing, like an Italian Aria! Of course she can't sing it like that but no matter. how often do you hear in contemporary music a melody flow for over a minute with no repetition at all... only the very first part almost repeats in the 2nd 5 seconds but she does raise the 3rd from a minor to a major. love it
