This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Everywhere I look
There are some opinions I can't stand
And don't we all feel that way sometimes
But one sticks out to me
That we must fulfill our greed
Ruin artistic integrity for the sake of short-term marketability
I'll be driving home for the holidays
Listen to the radio and all the stupid shit that gets played
We don’t stand a chance
It must connect to the emotions of the audience
We cannot have them thinking on their own
If we keep them focused on relationships and their high school crush
We've done our part, let's go home
What a standard, a restricting formula
That never allows my voice to get heard
You can go and sing those songs all day long
And realize that
there's no substance to their words
I'll be sitting at home for the holidays
Watch the daily countdown shows and all the stupid shit that gets played
We don’t stand a chance
There are some opinions I can't stand
And don't we all feel that way sometimes
But one sticks out to me
That we must fulfill our greed
Ruin artistic integrity for the sake of short-term marketability
I'll be driving home for the holidays
Listen to the radio and all the stupid shit that gets played
We don’t stand a chance
It must connect to the emotions of the audience
We cannot have them thinking on their own
If we keep them focused on relationships and their high school crush
We've done our part, let's go home
What a standard, a restricting formula
That never allows my voice to get heard
You can go and sing those songs all day long
And realize that
there's no substance to their words
I'll be sitting at home for the holidays
Watch the daily countdown shows and all the stupid shit that gets played
We don’t stand a chance

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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 is from the EP "Pigeonholed" which is available to download for FREE here: pigeonholedep.tk/
That is also where I pulled the lyrics from.
Good band. Good song. Breaking the song down:
"Everywhere I look There are some opinions I can't stand And don't we all feel that way sometimes But one sticks out to me That we must fulfill our greed Ruin artistic integrity for the sake of short-term marketability" -This is about how bands sell out for money nowadays to be successful.
"I'll be driving home for the holidays Listen to the radio and all the stupid shit that gets played" -The stuff on the radio is shit, basically.
"We don�t stand a chance" -They are saying how they, Lipona, don't stand a chance in society if the media will only play shit on the radio. Also, perhaps this is saying they don't stand a chance because they won't sell out.
"It must connect to the emotions of the audience We cannot have them thinking on their own If we keep them focused on relationships and their high school crush We've done our part, let's go home" -This is talking about what the media is doing to us: preventing us to think for ourselves by constantly playing songs without any relevant message. They play music that keeps us focused on our relationships, but not the problems in our society.
"What a standard, a restricting formula That never allows my voice to get heard You can go and sing those songs all day long And realize that there's no substance to their words" -This is speaking more on how the media keeps us from thinking about the problems in our society ("my voice to be heard" is possibly referring to Lipona as a band). The songs on the radio are catchy, but they don't have any substance.
"I'll be sitting at home for the holidays Watch the daily countdown shows and all the stupid shit that gets played We don�t stand a chance " -Again, saying how the stuff the media puts out is shit and how Lipona doesn't have a chance at making it big in our society if the media is like this.
