This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
There’s dead leaves on the dirty ground
That’s how I know you’re not around
To be with me
I stroke your hair, kiss your lips,
Kiss the ground, but you’re not around
And you’re nowhere to be found
I’m innocent and you’re guilty of the charges that are coming in
Guilty as sin
My heart is hit, even when, you are far away
I look to the sky, and ask the clouds to rain
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
Blood on my bed
Is now blood on my hands
When I was so far away
The guilt in your voice,
The mistaken word,
When I was nowhere to be found
You’re innocent and I’m guilty of the charges that are coming in
Guilty as sin
Your heart is hit, even when, I am far away
You look to the sky, and ask the clouds to rain
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I’m ready for the moon
I’m ready for the moon
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
Why can’t we get it together?
Get it together
Why can’t we get it together?
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I’m ready for the moon
I’m ready for the moon
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
That’s how I know you’re not around
To be with me
I stroke your hair, kiss your lips,
Kiss the ground, but you’re not around
And you’re nowhere to be found
I’m innocent and you’re guilty of the charges that are coming in
Guilty as sin
My heart is hit, even when, you are far away
I look to the sky, and ask the clouds to rain
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
Blood on my bed
Is now blood on my hands
When I was so far away
The guilt in your voice,
The mistaken word,
When I was nowhere to be found
You’re innocent and I’m guilty of the charges that are coming in
Guilty as sin
Your heart is hit, even when, I am far away
You look to the sky, and ask the clouds to rain
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I’m ready for the moon
I’m ready for the moon
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
Why can’t we get it together?
Get it together
Why can’t we get it together?
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed
I’m ready for the moon
I’m ready for the moon
But I’m heading for the moon and it's eclipsed

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.
This is the most DD has ever sounded like Coal Chamber, especially the vocals. This is a great song but I can see why it's a b-side. It doesn't really fit in this album.
