I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
And although it can be argued
Whether time will ever come to end
There is an overcoming sense of failing
If you never can see the end
In the giving of our hope eternal
We stumble blindly and forget the way
Is there ever time for answers
When the world comes tumbling down
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds, saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come
And even if in days of wonders
A glance that may stray from the fold
Cast aside in the spirit of ignorance
A mere nuisance when it's time to pay
Come undone now the strive and the passion
Giving under to the forces that be
Can you even think of questions
When the world comes tumbling down
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds, saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come
We shut our eyes and turn away
We shut our eyes and turn away
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds, saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come
Whether time will ever come to end
There is an overcoming sense of failing
If you never can see the end
In the giving of our hope eternal
We stumble blindly and forget the way
Is there ever time for answers
When the world comes tumbling down
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds, saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come
And even if in days of wonders
A glance that may stray from the fold
Cast aside in the spirit of ignorance
A mere nuisance when it's time to pay
Come undone now the strive and the passion
Giving under to the forces that be
Can you even think of questions
When the world comes tumbling down
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds, saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come
We shut our eyes and turn away
We shut our eyes and turn away
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds, saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come

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.
Its about one's self degradation and giving up. Tieng in alot of what the guy before me said: Seeing how bleak your own life is, and only dreaming of an answer, not acting.
