This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I, I won't come down no more
Higher than the birds I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel, I have so much to feel
And I, I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Floating on the clouds of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth's so far below me
I'm here alone
And I, I won't come down no more, yeah yeah
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I, I won't come down no more
Higher than the birds I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel, I have so much to feel
And I, I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Floating on the clouds of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth's so far below me
I'm here alone
And I, I won't come down no more, yeah yeah
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
I think this song and Icarus II are two parts of a story. The definition of borne is technically not birth, but being concieved by other means. He was not literally borne of wings of steel, but he feels that way because flying makes him feel so free. Obviously, if he were flying and lost his wings, he'd die, but in another sense, if he lost his plane or means of flying, he'd die of the feeling of being lost. Icarus II Is where he is drafted into the airforce to fight in a war. He wishes he were back home, but cant go back, because he must focus on his task that was set for him. He ends up getting shot down while trying to help his friends escape. He sacrifices himself for them.
This also could be referring to God, who lives in Heaven. God is higher than anyone on Earth. But in Icarus II, Jesus is sent to the Earth to save people from their sins by sacrificing himself for them. The enemy planes could be sin, and the friends going down in flames could be his disciple who lose faith and fall away. Listen to the two song in a row again, and youll catch my drift.
I think the religeon bit is a bit on the edge of likelihood, not that im anti religeon, but I think that Icarus and Icarus II are sister songs, they are both interesting and great songs. In Icarus II he is a bomber pilot, he is fed up with war and does some deep thinking, he wonders if the enemy is not actually much different than himself. When he does get shot down, he tries to keep the plane from crashing long enough for his crew to bail.
