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.
I don't remember
The very first
Of the first times I met you
It must have been
A while back
Because it's not coming back in my head
But I don't believe in
These medications
No doctor's prescriptions are no good for me
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away from this blue moon
We said we'd try
To keep in touch
But we don't keep in touch much these days
I realize I got myself
Talking to myself these days
But I don't believe in
These medications
No doctor's prescriptions are no good for me
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away from this blue moon
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away
My hands are clenched in fists
My stomach's tied in knots
Come inside and fix
Oh, restless meds
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away from this
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away
I'm scared
I'm scared, yeah
The very first
Of the first times I met you
It must have been
A while back
Because it's not coming back in my head
But I don't believe in
These medications
No doctor's prescriptions are no good for me
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away from this blue moon
We said we'd try
To keep in touch
But we don't keep in touch much these days
I realize I got myself
Talking to myself these days
But I don't believe in
These medications
No doctor's prescriptions are no good for me
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away from this blue moon
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away
My hands are clenched in fists
My stomach's tied in knots
Come inside and fix
Oh, restless meds
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away from this
I'm scared to feel too much
But I've got to get away
I'm scared
I'm scared, yeah

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”

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.
