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 we danced
So pristine and
Knee deep in sin
Balls deep in hate
(I see your face)
I see your face and it tears me
Tears me up
My mouth is full of love
My head is held in shame
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Hold your breath and keep it
Trapped with secrets
'Til you're turning cold blue with guilt
Still no blood is spilt
Had I seen the plot twists coming
Would I have checked out the book?
And even if I was dead
You would never be off the fucking hook
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my
Can you take it
While I fake it
Can you take it
While I fake it
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart
So pristine and
Knee deep in sin
Balls deep in hate
(I see your face)
I see your face and it tears me
Tears me up
My mouth is full of love
My head is held in shame
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Hold your breath and keep it
Trapped with secrets
'Til you're turning cold blue with guilt
Still no blood is spilt
Had I seen the plot twists coming
Would I have checked out the book?
And even if I was dead
You would never be off the fucking hook
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my
Can you take it
While I fake it
Can you take it
While I fake it
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart
When you kiss me
Do you still taste her?
Are you thinking of
Are you thinking of me?
With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin
Does your body still scream my name?
Does your body still scream my name?
Cross your heart
False your heart
Cross your heart
False your heart

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.
