You run away from everything that you fear
So afraid don't wanna be a part of it
You see the fake in every thing that is real
You hate the paradox
You put us in the box

We don't define what makes us right or wrong
Waste of time and we're just livin' it
I wanna see you, touch you, one-on-one
Won't stop until we're done
We've only just begun

[Chorus]
We are the face of a new generation
We are the ones who have no reservation
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation
Welcome to the Master Plan
Don't care if you understand
Don't care if you understand
Welcome to the Master Plan

Your skin is burning at the sight of me
Your mask can't hide what yer thinkin'
Don't as (Don't tell)
Just take whatcha need
I'm an open book
So go on and take a look

We are the face of a new generation
We are the ones who have no reservation
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation
Welcome to the Master Plan
Don't care if you understand
Don't care if you understand
Welcome to the Master Plan

There's you
There's me
I feel your energy
I hope you'll see
Things ain't what they used to be
Look at the face

We are the face of a new generation
We are the ones who have no reservation
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation
Welcome to the Master Plan
Don't care if you understand
Don't care if you understand
Welcome to the Master Plan

Don't care if you under
Welcome to the Master Plan
Don't care if you understand

    My Interpretation

    I've always thought the song was about Republicans (Or in general social conservatives) and homosexuality. "You run away from everything that you fear / So afraid, don't wanna be a part of it / You see the fake in everything that is real / You hate the paradox, you put us in a box", and the thing which really gave it away was "Don't ask, don't tell, just take what you need", because of course Don't Ask Don't Tell being the ban on openly gay military members in the USA, and DADT is basically saying "Yeah come and fight for us, but we only want you, not your personal life", which the line basically sums up.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
