In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
La realite souhait etre complexe
Qui vous permet decouvrir le monde sous un forme
A cause du role, la vecu dans la brassee
Vous demande logique comme un source de beau
Et les noirs autre allez
Allez! Allez!
L'ete les communications, peut-etre verifiable
Le vie dans la future, vous tournerai sauf
Role et signification de l'ensemble?
Le charge, le source je vais maintenant
Quelle est le privilege des morts?
L'amour, la verite, les nuits en lumiere
Mais je ne sais pas encore
Capital, de la douleur

Ed Sheeran
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'd really like a comprehensive translation of this song. It's an enigma. It's very obviously in French, and obviously about money and economy. I really like the Kapital album.
@Brat Moj it's basically just samples cut together out of order, mostly from Alpha 60, the computer that controls Alphaville
the whole lyrics are sampled from the 60's french movie"alphaville" by J.L Goddard.You have to see it to understand the words...
