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.
Early light burns my eyes
A minute more the sun will rise
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
I'll be dead asleep by then
Shut up in this box again
Until it's gone
Outside I can hear it
Birds are singing
Bees are buzzing
Sunshine's overhead
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
One more blue sunny day
Looking for an easy mark
I hit the Denny's after dark
And take a lonely waitress home to drink
She's sincere and halfway through
I find I'm wishing she was you
My blood goes cold
I guess this date is over
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
All these streets are empty it's just me and my mistake
One by one the stars go out this black sky turns to gray
One more blue sunny day (sunny day)
Sometimes I see how long I can wait (I can wait, I can wait)
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
My trembling hands on the cellar door (just a little more, just a little more)
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for
All at once I've had enough
As if I'm made of sterner stuff
I take a breath and open up the door
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me
For just one moment I can see
The pale blue sky
I close my eyes because
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
One more blue sunny day (sunny day)
A minute more the sun will rise
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
I'll be dead asleep by then
Shut up in this box again
Until it's gone
Outside I can hear it
Birds are singing
Bees are buzzing
Sunshine's overhead
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
One more blue sunny day
Looking for an easy mark
I hit the Denny's after dark
And take a lonely waitress home to drink
She's sincere and halfway through
I find I'm wishing she was you
My blood goes cold
I guess this date is over
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
All these streets are empty it's just me and my mistake
One by one the stars go out this black sky turns to gray
One more blue sunny day (sunny day)
Sometimes I see how long I can wait (I can wait, I can wait)
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
My trembling hands on the cellar door (just a little more, just a little more)
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for
All at once I've had enough
As if I'm made of sterner stuff
I take a breath and open up the door
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me
For just one moment I can see
The pale blue sky
I close my eyes because
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
One more blue sunny day (sunny day)

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.
