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 am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burnouts go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
And I'll take you to a new low
And I'll take you to a new low
And I'll take you to a new low
I'm the stranger walking through your pretty neighborhood
I'd like to make my dark intentions clearly understood
So hide your children in that sheltered world that you create
I'll light their fuses and I'll help them all to detonate
Just like a little boy on daddy's shoulders
You thought you'd touch the sky until you got much older
Now everything turns black and so much colder
The weight of this cruel world will crush you like a boulder
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burnouts go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burnouts go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I'm just a product of your gluttony and growing greed
So join the masses and I'll take care of your every need
I know your hunger and the reason to your foolish rhymes
You're going hungry and with me it's always dinner time
Just like a little boy on daddy's shoulders
You thought you'd touch the sky until you got much older
Now everything turns black and so much colder
The weight of this cruel world will crush you like a boulder
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place where the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
Take a deep breathe and close your eyes
Open your mind and you'll realize
You're just a pawn of tiny size
And nobody cares
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
New low
New low
I'll take you to a new low

And I'll take you to a new low
I'm the stranger walking through your pretty neighborhood
I'd like to make my dark intentions clearly understood
So hide your children in that sheltered world that you create
I'll light their fuses and I'll help them all to detonate

I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order

I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
I am the spawn of a new world order
I am the place that the burn outs go
I feed the minds of your sons and daughters
And I'll take you to a new low
New low
New low
I'll take you to a new low
New low
New low
I'll take you to a new low

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
