What you hide and conceal
Open up and enable
Put your cards on the table

Conquer and define
Your life is on the line
Roll up and black out
No time to hesitate and doubt

Take what you've been given
Make your stand
Cause the life that you're living
May soon come to an end

Chorus #1:
"Do what you can
What you want
What you must
Feel the hunger inside
Hold on to your trust"

Confess and purge
Experience every urge
Approach and acheive
Strengthen your belief

Admit and defend
Your emotions cause they send
Out the message that is you
And that's the only thing that's true

Chorus #1
Chorus #2:
"Do what you can
What you want
What you must
Feel the hunger inside
Don't lose your trust"

Safe and secure
Never be too sure
Show and tell
Until you go to hell

Love and hate
You're destined by fate
Play and work
Enjoy your time on earth

Chorus #1
Only death is eternal
Make no mistake
What it all comes down to
Night shall overtake

Chorus #1
Chorus #2

Do what you can
(You're a beautiful child)
Do what you want
(From a beautiful land)
Do what you can
(You left a curse on me)
Do what you want
(Could you live without me?)
Do what you can
(Just one way)
Do what you want
(One last kiss)
Do what you must
(Give me the bullet)
Don't lose your trust

    Basically every line is a command. "Admit and defend your emotions 'cause they send out the message that is you and that's the only thing that's true" is an interesting line. I dunno, the song sounds like it's suggesting to just go with your instinct/feeling.

Plastic Bag
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.
