Vào ngày 5.5. 2023, chàng ca sĩ người Anh Ed Sheeran đã chính thức phát hành album phòng thu thứ 5 của mình mang tên "Subtract". Cùng với 14 bài hát nằm trong bản standard, anh chàng còn ngay lập tức tung thêm bản deluxe của album với 4 bài hát nữa. Stoned là một trong bốn bài hát ấy. Stoned ở đây có nghĩa là bị hóa đá, đứng hình, và từ tên bài hát ta đã có thể phần nào hình dung ra nội dung bài hát viết về điều gì rồi phải không nào? Nếu các bạn yêu thích nhạc của Ed thì đây nhất định là bài bạn nên nghe nhé


Lời bài hát:

[Verse 1]

I wasn't lookin' for a hideaway

I need the heat of a thousand bodies

Crowds will devour our only breathing space

Consumed by hopelessness and all my worries

[Pre-Chorus]Save me, colours erase, nothin' will fill up the space

I'm drownin' under the waves and so out of place

I'm feeling away, maybe this life was a waste

Should I just throw it away?

[Chorus]All my friends have settled and grown

And then there's me, here, dancin' alone

Fueled by heartbreak mixed with the chemicals

They are sleeping and I am stoned

All my friends have settled and grown

And then there's me, here, dancin' alone

Am I breathing into my detriment?

I'll keep bleedin' and I'll be stoned

[Verse 2]

I don't want to have to cry again

Well, say to them "Goodbye" and "I'm so sorry"

This pain crescendo's riding till the end

Keep telling myself that it's them and not me

[Pre-Chorus]Save me, colours erase, nothin' will fill up the space

Drownin' under the waves and so out of place

I'm feelin' away, maybe this life was a waste

Should I just throw it away?

[Chorus]All my friends have settled and grown

And then there's me, here, dancin' alone

Fueled by heartbreak mixed with the chemicals

They are sleeping and I am stoned

All my friends have settled and grown

And then there's me, here, dancin' alone

Am I breathing into my detriment?

I'll keep bleedin' and I'll be stoned

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]All my friends have settled and grown

And then there's me, here, dancin' alone

Fueled by heartbreak mixed with the chemicals

They are sleeping and I am stoned

All my friends have settled and grown

And then there's me, here, dancin' alone

Am I breathing into my detriment?

I'll keep bleedin' and I'll be stoned
