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.
Chain me-o-oo- (chain me, chain me free)
Lose the-o-oo-key, right now!
She was from my home town,
I'd never met her
Ditched her boyfriends
'Cause I was better
She showed me pictures in her car...
Pictures of the Beach Boys
And Kelly Slater
Bounced from the party
'Cause the girls all hate her
She said she wants to see the stars
She's had some fast times
First times always last times
Out in the foxglove, I'm in...
Chain me-o-oo- free, (chain me, chain me free)
Or let it all fall
We can be all, we can be all, I said
What's in your head?
Lose the-o-oo- key (Lose, Lose the key)
Or please don't call
We can be all, we can be all, I said
She kissed me dead.
She calls me during Loveline
And gets the machine
She wants to see me
But not to be seen
As if she's got some mystery (mystery)
I missed her for a few weeks
Before I called her
Still didn't get it,
So this is how I stalled her:
Even though you're seventeen,
I've got to tell ya'
You're too old for me
She's had some fast times
First times always last times
Out in the foxglove, was thatâ?¦?
Chain me-o-oo- free, (chain me, chain me free)
Or let it all fall
We can be all, we can be all, I said
What's in your head?
Lose the-o-oo- key (Lose the, Lose the key)
Or please don't call
We can be all, we can be all, I said
She kissed me dead.
You're all drugged out and delirious
Don't close your eyes - are you hearing this?
I'm about to say something
That I swore I'd never say
I gotta get it out before I get away
I gotta get away before I get it out
I gotta get away before I get it out
I gotta get away before I get it out
Chain me free
Lose the key
Lose the-o-oo-key, right now!

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
No idea what this song means but I love it.
wooo ooooooh freeeeee
A relationship maybe? The Matches are cool though. And that's saying something. Usually I hate punk. o_o

Meeting someone you've never met before, going out with them, gaining a commitment with that person, and wanting out of it. They become sort of obsessed with you and don't want to lose you.
Have absolutely no idea how you can have no clue on what this is about, it's as apparent as Michael Jacksons pedophilia.
i partialy agree with lalvarien i think its a relationship but i think the girl is more of a groupie maybe? which would be why he didnt know her.
I think I agree more with eternallygrunge...but either way...The Matches are a kick ass punk band...and I've listened to this song about 200 times between yesterday and today.
i love this WOO OOOO song! haha i think its the best..this is the song that made me fall in love with the matches!
