This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Gettin'scared by every chance to love
Look careful which people you meet!
Almost being caught when you cheat
Why do people call it sign of the gods?
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear
It's getting on a bigger stage
Spreading like the black pest
When you've realized it, there's no time left
No way to pass through
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear
Unfair punishment of free lifestyle?
Will we return to the middle-ages?
You? ll get distrustful of your friends
Carelessness and indiference will lead to death
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear
Look careful which people you meet!
Almost being caught when you cheat

Spreading like the black pest
When you've realized it, there's no time left
No way to pass through

Will we return to the middle-ages?
You? ll get distrustful of your friends
Carelessness and indiference will lead to death
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation
Sign of fear - ungracious condemnation

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 song seems to be about a man's past mistakes and transgressions coming back to bite him in the ass. Great song!
