This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
We're the masters of the night
Both death and glory on our side
Mess with the fucking best
And get fucked up like all the rest
You won't hear us when we're coming...
We're back again
We're on the scene
And when we strike it's swift, silent, deadly
When we strike it's swift, silent -- deadly!
We seek, strike, destroy
Like tigers born to kill
For those who just can't understand
We'll let you know the fucking deal
You won't hear us when we're coming...
Both death and glory on our side
Mess with the fucking best
And get fucked up like all the rest
You won't hear us when we're coming...
We're back again
We're on the scene
And when we strike it's swift, silent, deadly
When we strike it's swift, silent -- deadly!
We seek, strike, destroy
Like tigers born to kill
For those who just can't understand
We'll let you know the fucking deal
You won't hear us when we're coming...

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.
The song is good, but the vocals are annoying. He should get rid of that voice effect.
This is probably based off of the Tiger personas they have. Seeing as how they're called Tiger Army, this song is probably about stuff like that. Maybe not exactly tiger personas, but just the fact that they use the name Tigers so they have a song about them. And, using it a s a metahpor to how they act or something like that.
Maybe he just wanted to write something about Tigers. I dunno.
