This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Jessica suicide takes me for a ride
I’m just a crazy one-armed man
Strange world, dead girl
Die each day or so you say it
How much death can one man stand?
How much death can one man stand?
I might broadcast your dull eyes
Breathless like you, I’m despised
And understand I just can’t
Help but stand up to the old lies
This time she’ll do it
Too late my bus is leaving
But I don’t care what you have planned
I don’t care what you have planned
Jessica suicide, never even tried
But I gave in to her demands
Death threats, regrets
Go ahead I heard all you’ve said
Cause bitter always becomes bland
Cause bitter always becomes bland
Cause bitter always becomes bland
Cause bitter always becomes bland
So scared to characterize
I’ve always known your cold eyes
And now I fully realize
I just can’t take this deadly surprise
This time she’ll do it
Too late my bus is leaving
I don’t care what she have planned
I don’t care what she have planned
Running on…
I don’t care what you have planned for me
I’m just a crazy one-armed man
Strange world, dead girl
Die each day or so you say it
How much death can one man stand?
How much death can one man stand?
I might broadcast your dull eyes
Breathless like you, I’m despised
And understand I just can’t
Help but stand up to the old lies
This time she’ll do it
Too late my bus is leaving
But I don’t care what you have planned
I don’t care what you have planned
Jessica suicide, never even tried
But I gave in to her demands
Death threats, regrets
Go ahead I heard all you’ve said
Cause bitter always becomes bland
Cause bitter always becomes bland
Cause bitter always becomes bland
Cause bitter always becomes bland
So scared to characterize
I’ve always known your cold eyes
And now I fully realize
I just can’t take this deadly surprise
This time she’ll do it
Too late my bus is leaving
I don’t care what she have planned
I don’t care what she have planned
Running on…
I don’t care what you have planned for me

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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 love this song, to me its a song about getting sick of being played by your girlfriend and deciding that getting out of it is the best way, and even knowing that she may go against you for more attention but you just don't care anymore as you now realise that ultimately only you are in control of your life. i think this piece should be released as its well capable of going to number 1. the songs a masterpiece, the guitar/piano/acoustic parts are simple but genius. i sometimes see it as the punk worlds bohemian rhapsody.
this song gives me the boy who cried wolf vibe, except for in this story the village people or true victim(s) of such a selfish criminal escape are the ones left in grief. the author is trying to hide this all behind an "i-don't-care facade but it's obvious this so-called "deadly surprise" has taken it's toll on his heart / soul.
Again this is an Armchair Martian song. But it does have the sick and tired of being used and taken for granted feel. But musically it is a fuckin beautiful song.
bad astronaut did a sooooo much better version dan armchair..
i had a friend, whose name actually was jessica, who was just like this. the thing about being the type of person who really wants to help others is you have a breaking point and eventually you reach it and then you hate the person who you were trying to help. so don't drain people, cos eventually they'll wear out and hate you and you will deserve it.
this song has a great meaning i think.it is like loving someone ,give your heart definetely even you can die for her.but day by day things you did for her comes unimportant so when the time comes for her you have nothing left to do.you give up and go your own way though it s hard to not look back.
