I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Fool, your word means shit
My eyes, they wonder
Not alotta shit left to break inside the mind of acid whore
Swallowing your sister's nightstand might cover up the clogging pores
The sound of master blaster's tank weapon gun addon I believe
Every single little child can benefit from smoking weed
You're filling your pockets with my bones
You're filling your pockets
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
I don't know much about computers, but I know that you look like a child abuser
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Sideways, sideways
Move in, take what's not yours, take what I worked for
Slow down, stop me now, you're tearing apart my soul
And lately we should be making me
The best type of record for wasting please
Amazing bark is getting dark
You know that I know can ride the arc
And lately we should be making me
The present elect is a burning tree
And you know that I know that I cant be me
So I can be you and well you can be me
I'm a t.o.y.f.o.r you, on pleasure principle
We keep it on the down low because public eyes are sensible
There ain't no outcome without illusion
But I let you in the first place, girl you know what you're doin'
This is dirty sex, backseats, over tables, under sheets
At the workplace, on the beach, in the hammock where I sleep
I know it's your birthday, you told me at 3:30
Damn ok, where do you wanna meet?
'Cause I know the lonely road it took to get there
And I, I believed it at your lonely word
Well I knew the lonely road it took to get there
And I, I believe it in your lost words
Well I know the only road it takes to get there
And I only feel it now because I've been there
And I know the lonely road it takes to get there
And I only feel it now because I've been there
Stop me now, you're tearing apart my soul
Move in, take what's not yours, take what I worked for
(Lame, as well, as boring)
A thinly veiled guise elected for another new sound, capitalize when you dumb it down
You defect and I'll be raging on top of my car
You defect and I'll be passed out, covered in tar
A thinly veiled guise elected for another new sound, capitalize when you dumb it down
A thinly veiled guise elected for another new sound, capitalize when you dumb it down
My eyes, they wonder
Not alotta shit left to break inside the mind of acid whore
Swallowing your sister's nightstand might cover up the clogging pores
The sound of master blaster's tank weapon gun addon I believe
Every single little child can benefit from smoking weed
You're filling your pockets with my bones
You're filling your pockets
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
I don't know much about computers, but I know that you look like a child abuser
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Sideways, sideways
Move in, take what's not yours, take what I worked for
Slow down, stop me now, you're tearing apart my soul
And lately we should be making me
The best type of record for wasting please
Amazing bark is getting dark
You know that I know can ride the arc
And lately we should be making me
The present elect is a burning tree

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.
Yeah, I think it is that.
