well I was sitting in my limousine, drinking champagne
when this little girl knocked on my door
she was crying for my money and I told her:
"little honey I don't have enough I need more"
she was poor I am a rich
so what I really didn't need was that bitch
but anyway I asked her to sit on my seat
so I could mingle off her clothes and feel her heart beat

everybody knows my name
everybody wants my fame
there's nobody I can blame
jamie fame flame
thats my name

next day in the paper I read about a raper
a picture that was supposed to be me
so when I was walking down the stairs
and I didn't seem to care
I met this crowd and they were shouting at me
they were jumping on my records burning all my pictures
closing down the fanclub, turning over my car
then I realized they were all hypnotized and that I was no longer a star

everybody hates my name
maybe I should do the same
there's just one man I can blame
jamie fame flame, that's my name

then I woke in the morning in the middle of a desert
I found myself alone without clothes
I was freezing I was yawning
then I met this little wizard and he taught me how to sing with my nose
we sang a lot of songs of what is right and what is wrong
I felt like if I was in a haze
and he took me to a cave where we all were warm and safe
that was the place where I ended my days

everybody knew my name
everybody wanted my fame
there's just one man I could blame
jamie fame flame was my name

    the singing with ones nose is for me an allusion to drug abuse. i think it ties in well with wizard if we interpret him as a man of mysticism introducing the main character to the occult which starts with the drug induced trance and its associated speculations on right and wrong and then ends in the cave where it seems a congregation is situated. maybe they commit mass suicide?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
