Ed Sheeran's Alter Ego: Vampirate Angel
i think Angel in A-Team is the guy in a pink suit ("You," probably) in Bad Habits.
They are addicted.
They chase a high.
They are observers.
When Ed meets them he disappears into thin air (after he purchases the magazine, "The Big Issue" and after his car crash).
They have thick eye makeup, as they should.
They split off from themselves (In the morning, Angel watches Angel die, Mr Pink dissolves to reveal Ed)
They can fly (Mr. Pink clearly can and, If that isn't the meaning of the repeated lyric"Angle to Fly," at least Angel flies away at the end)
They are girly (Angel appears to be a girl and Mr. Pink is glam).
They have partly obscured head (Angle wears a hoody, Mr. Pink starts out in a hair drier).
They lead to wild eyes stare into space; the lyric from Bad Habits describes how one half of Angel dies.
The live by night and disappear in the morning.
They like mirrors.
They are another side of Ed, or at least Mr. Pink clearly is. Angel was supposedly someone that Ed met in a homeless person's shelter but, I think back in his busking days, Ed used to stay in shelters himself.
I think this alter ego is also the second person who has the photograph of Ed Sheeran, in his hit song "Photograph," since just at the point where Ed sings "inside the necklace you got when you were 16," the official promotion video shows a picture of Ed Sheeran looking to be about 16, dressed up as a pirate, wearing a gold necklace with a locket. Ed seems to like pirates. He did pirate as a child and dressed dressed up as a similar pirate, complete with gold necklace and locket, at about he time of the release of Photograph, but few seem to have noticed that, judging by who owns the necklace and locket, he was singing a love song to the pirate side of himself. As a number of psychologists argue, we observe the images and words that represent ourselves from the point of view of another within ourselves.
A similar sort of self love can also be found in Lego House.
In Bad Habits, after popping a lot of balloons and just before seeing himself pop like a balloon, Mr. Pink pops a balloon in front of a vampire girl. To me he seems to be saying, "it (your ego) is just a balloon" (or photograph, or magazine) and, "It's okay. We are all vampirates really." The scary (vampire, pirate, prostitute) nature of our alter ego is as far as I know only hinted at by Ed, but claimed by Kitarou Nishida (1967).
