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.
Into the cave where lust and love became one
Where the round wound and the black bottom quiver
Where the ivory gets tickles by cool black hands
We create dance and melody
Resounding
Unpretentious spirit
Oh that we are the leaders of tomorrow
At a quarter past eleven they'll come running
Caged but ever free
To the sound of the drum and the runes on the wall
We remember our heroes ex-per-ession
Sassy
Lester
Billie
Satch and the Duke
Yes Lord, this is the place to be
In the eleventh hour baby
When the moon is high
Sugar when my passion starts to flow
I got a fantasy, it's for you
And I know a real hot spot
I can take you anywhere you want to go
I know a place down by the tracks
Where they got a little jazz band
It's such a sexy situation
We'll bust a bottle of Cristal
Then just wait to see what happens
Won't you come with me
You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
Quarter past eleven, hurry baby
You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
I got your sugar, your sweetness, your lovin' that's my weakness
Do you like it like this
I'm down for whatever turns you on
I got a fellin' deep inside me
That we like it similar
And as they say in French voulez-vous right there
I know a place down by the tracks
Where they got a little jazz band
It's such a sexy situation
We'll bust a bottle of Cristal
Then just wait to see what happens
Won't you come with me
You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
Quarter past eleven, hurry baby
You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
I got your sugar, your sweetness, your lovin' that's my weakness
Flashback, it was a real hot night
There was a love explosion, just like dynamite
You gave me sugar kisses, put them everywhere
Dishin' it out, you whipped it up I swear
In the eleventh hour when the moon was shining
Shining on my eyes and I was high signing
Come on, come on, won't you sweet swwet back You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
Ooh sugar, sugar, sugar
I walked into the room, a hush fell on the whole place
Drop dead fine just a diva with a purpose
I slide to the right, everybody follows suit
Serious times such a sexy situation
Where the round wound and the black bottom quiver
Where the ivory gets tickles by cool black hands
We create dance and melody
Resounding
Unpretentious spirit
Oh that we are the leaders of tomorrow
At a quarter past eleven they'll come running
Caged but ever free
To the sound of the drum and the runes on the wall
We remember our heroes ex-per-ession
Sassy
Lester
Billie
Satch and the Duke
Yes Lord, this is the place to be
In the eleventh hour baby
When the moon is high
Sugar when my passion starts to flow
I got a fantasy, it's for you
And I know a real hot spot
I can take you anywhere you want to go
I know a place down by the tracks
Where they got a little jazz band
It's such a sexy situation
We'll bust a bottle of Cristal
Then just wait to see what happens
Won't you come with me
You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
Quarter past eleven, hurry baby
You can meet me over at the Sugar Shack
I got your sugar, your sweetness, your lovin' that's my weakness
Do you like it like this
I'm down for whatever turns you on
I got a fellin' deep inside me

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.
