Question by Luv2laugh: What do you think is the meaning of A Team by Ed Sheeran?
When I first heard the song I thought it was a sad and beautiful ballet about a young girl trying to make it thru school by being a prostitute. But then I saw the video and I thought it was about a woman who really liked meth. What do u guys think?

The song is about drug additction…”white lips, pale face, breathing in snow flakes” shes homeless in the cold because of her addiction. “Burnt lungs sour taste” describes the feel when she smokes the drugs. “Shes in the class A Team” means shes at the top when it comes to drugs…”stuck in her day dream” shes stuck in a daydream that drugs rule her. “But lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting crumbling like pastries” describes her appearance as unhealthy and ‘crumbling’/decreasing. “The worst things in life come free to us” means you don’t always go out looking for trouble, sometimes trouble finds us, hence it being “free” and it can really mess with us. The rest of the chorus talks about how we’re just under the upper hand (rich) so we all go mad for a couple of drugs because in some way she wants to be like them. Then she flies to the motherland with her pipe of drugs and sells her love to other men to feed her addiction. She hopes for a better life…she doesn’t want to go outside tonight becaue she really does want to stay inside securly with someone to love, but she is very lonely. In the video clip you can see how her addiction takes over her because she cries when she sleeps with the men…It’s a very sad song and shows the truth in plain black and white of how your life can turn out when you get into these kind of things. Hope that helped 🙂
