This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
All you overloaded, candy coated?
Your life's imploding now
There's a risk worth taking, a pain worth aching
On this hollow ground
We can let go
Don't hold on to all of life's hardest parts
When we think of stopping, let's keep on rocking
To the rhythm of our hearts
We can, we can break out of here
Jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can, we can forget the pace
Win in our own race, become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah, good and broken
Find the magic, go and grab it
Your fate is in your hands
Come on, find a reason to believe
And just tell yourself, "We can!"
We can, we can break out of here
Jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can, we can forget the pace
Win in our own race, become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah, good and broken
Get off your seat, on your feet
Raise your hands, feel the beat
Let it go, lose control
Feel it in your soul
Don't you know what you can do
If you have faith in you
Let's not be invisible
There's no red light in life, just go!
We can, we can break out of here
Jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can, we can forget the pace
Win in our own race, become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah, good and broken
We can, we can, yeah!
Oh we can, oh we can, oh we can, oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can, oh we can, oh we can, oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can, oh we can, oh we can, oh we can
Oh we can
Good and broken
Your life's imploding now
There's a risk worth taking, a pain worth aching
On this hollow ground
We can let go
Don't hold on to all of life's hardest parts
When we think of stopping, let's keep on rocking
To the rhythm of our hearts
We can, we can break out of here
Jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can, we can forget the pace
Win in our own race, become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah, good and broken
Find the magic, go and grab it
Your fate is in your hands
Come on, find a reason to believe
And just tell yourself, "We can!"
We can, we can break out of here
Jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can, we can forget the pace
Win in our own race, become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah, good and broken
Get off your seat, on your feet
Raise your hands, feel the beat
Let it go, lose control
Feel it in your soul
Don't you know what you can do
If you have faith in you
Let's not be invisible
There's no red light in life, just go!
We can, we can break out of here
Jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can, we can forget the pace
Win in our own race, become a broken chain, yeah
We are broken chains, yeah, good and broken
We can, we can, yeah!
Oh we can, oh we can, oh we can, oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can, oh we can, oh we can, oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can, oh we can, oh we can, oh we can
Oh we can
Good and broken

“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.
