In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
Umm... Yes that's an interlude And though I don't really think there are written lyrics anywhere I hear the verses like this...
Verse 1: Lookin at my broccoli it's about that time Polishin the nasty cauliflower patches till they shine Xaul rocks! Tried to have phone sex but you called the cops Plus the holes are too small I've got these huge bald spots On top of my head emerging like unwanted islands I'm trying to vote my self off of By force of nature I'm pushed off the (?) to face a world of war wages And girls of all ages Hi! I'm the guy you don't love just yet But I write poems with my tongue on your neck Hoping for some sex Older than sunsets Golden boy, blue balls Totally upset, but overjoyed by Ru Paul The bipolar bear hug got you sick to your stomach When I hold a beer mug and make you sip from it Thinkin this plug dick will kill the dead silence in your body I wanna be the life of the search party
(Verse 2) Now if I monger whores While Joe mongers whores And he mongers whores While she mongers whores And we monger whores While they monger whores It's a mother flockin orgy y'all, cause I got yours Say what? Xaul Zan is here No random fan from the small van I stare (??) calling your man a crook Cause I'm deep (how deep?) I'm deeper than Sage Francis Retreating the gay campus Bleeding on AIDs pamphlets I shit dance moves battle with the spinning moonwalks It's in the attitudes Grab my miniscule crotch! I will remove the cross That dangles in the cleavage Of every christian chick who thinks her tits are saving Jesus Gee whiz! Listen to the knowledge that I'm kickin I'm not hard on women I put my hard-on on women I'm starting with (??) who shouts with her face down When I'm not swingin', I'm scoutin out the playgrounds
We made you bounce so hard in your car it made your tires flat Joe stole your ho, and I'ma make you buy her back She tried to grab my handlebar moustache Saying I'll never steer you wrong And I'm like "sure you're right" I got a kool-aid smile with some midol Cause I'm down with you And down on you When your child calls I'm Xaul Zan Damn, I have to say it again? Halfsharkalligatorhalfman half amazing Nasty scab collector Broken heart donor Political party crasher Love me or leave me a loner Professional melon bruiser With a style that's fresher Some think I'm a (??) Inner-child mollestor! Thirty-something dirty Mac dump trucker Mineral spring chicken shit fairy god mother fucker A diaphram pussy diver, clear the floor I am womanizer, hear me whore?
