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.
(Spoken) Hey! All you Helots, you Zealots, you Peleponnesians, you Lakadaemons, all of Leonidas's army, lets get barmy, for the Spartan High School Musical! GOOOOOO SPARTA!
Today I'm staring High School
Where boys are turned to men
I've packed my sword and shield
We don't use paper or pen!
Everyone's a jock here
We don't have Spartan nerds
The weedy kids were left to die
As breakfast for the birds!
We're taught to love a fight
We're taught not to be meek
And if we're good they feed us
Three square meals every week!
Lets go fighting now
Fighting is exciting now
Rocking at the Spartan School!
At Spartan Kindergarten
I'm the boss, it's understood
I smack 'em if they're naughty
And I thwack 'em if they're good!
I'm feeling rather peckish
I'm gonna steal some food...
Caught! I'll have to punish you
Ungrateful Spartan brood!
We promise not to steal
We're not the thieving sort
Stealing is considered good
What's wrong is getting caught!
Lets get beating now
Learn lies and cheating now
Rolling at the Spartan School!
We have a bunch of contests
To see who is the best
The meanest, leanest, roughest
Toughest Spartan contests!
This one is my favourite game
Lashings of good fun!
Didn't feel a thing...
I want my mum!
We pass our last exam
And it's Spartan graduation
Straight away we go to work
No time for celebration!
Ten years active service
In the army- no diversions
There's only one job for a Spartan:
Killing loads of Persians!
If you're wondering about love-
It's banned until you're thirty
High School doesn't teach romance
It teaches fighting dirty!
Lets go fighting now
Fighting is exciting now
Rocking at the Spartan School!
Lets get beating now
Learn lies and cheating now
Rolling at the Spartan School!
Today I'm staring High School

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. 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
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.
