This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
I should have my head examined
They'll see when they look inside
I won't have to say a word
I'll stop thinking what I shouldn't be thinking
I'll make everyone believe me now
Can't you see I'm telling the truth
Now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
You'll think it's a lie
Couldn't we just put away the ancient history
Throw up our hands at the unsolved mystery
I'm going to have my head examined
I'll prove you were wrong about me
Move the needle telepathically
I'll turn everything around and confuse you
Talk faster and faster til I lose you
I'll fix it so you can't remember what was true
And there'll be nothing to remind you
Starting now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
Now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
Lies, lies
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
I should have my head examined
They'll see when they look inside
I won't have to say a word
I'll stop thinking what I shouldn't be thinking
I'll make everyone believe me now
Can't you see I'm telling the truth
Now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
You'll think it's a lie
Couldn't we just put away the ancient history
Throw up our hands at the unsolved mystery
I'm going to have my head examined
I'll prove you were wrong about me
Move the needle telepathically
I'll turn everything around and confuse you
Talk faster and faster til I lose you
I'll fix it so you can't remember what was true
And there'll be nothing to remind you
Starting now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
Now I'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
Lies, lies
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie

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.
Hmm, I think the World War II thing is overinterpeting a bit, but there is more to this song than just a pathological liar wo no one will believe even when he starts telling the truth. The Johns kind of have a tradition of unreliable narrators in their songs, and by the second verse it become pretty clear he's just going to resort to more elaborate ways of lying, such as manipulating lie detector tests, telling the truth but obscuring it in complicated and confusing language, and lying and then manipulating the evidence to his favor after the fact. Well, okay, actually the latter two do kind of seem like sardonic nods to the world of politics, World War II or otherwise.
