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.
Fuck!
A true believer’s manifesto I do, The King he say so.
Crown the boy and kill these fucking jesters on the dice roll.
The bottle got 'em real nice, I got the night popping off,
Ain't never rock no mic, I only Rachmaninoff.
Tell these hoes knock it off, my lawn is looking real pretty.
Spend a lot of time snorting lines off your bitch's titty.
Laugh it up fuzzball.
You didn't see us back there,
She spent her night contemplating life within a nut hair.
I know you think its not fair but this is how it be though.
A sexy beast control the globe chilling in a speedo.
Above the law, making bets,
Sing my song, make your bets.
Just keep it raw, nigga,
About to spark the la, nigga.
Smoke an L with the Captain, ain't nothing that he lacking,
Cadillacing on some rap shit, ain't never look back.
When I leave her lost looking for my number on the napkin.
This is how it happened, the voodoo in my rapping.
Who knew she’d be lacking all the skills it take,
To make The King a couple steaks,
Separated from the fakes.
Now you see the fate we make, terminate the fucking hate.
Before I go and leak the tape or masturbate.
When I humiliate,
The God is really great, blessed up on the record crate.
Bet she gonna take the bait, telling her she think she late.
Put a stain upon her pretty taint,
Lick the tip or shake the weight,
Up on the first or second date.
A true believer’s manifesto I do, The King he say so.
Crown the boy and kill these fucking jesters on the dice roll.
The bottle got 'em real nice, I got the night popping off,
Ain't never rock no mic, I only Rachmaninoff.
Tell these hoes knock it off, my lawn is looking real pretty.
Spend a lot of time snorting lines off your bitch's titty.
Laugh it up fuzzball.
You didn't see us back there,
She spent her night contemplating life within a nut hair.
I know you think its not fair but this is how it be though.
A sexy beast control the globe chilling in a speedo.
Above the law, making bets,
Sing my song, make your bets.
Just keep it raw, nigga,
About to spark the la, nigga.
Smoke an L with the Captain, ain't nothing that he lacking,
Cadillacing on some rap shit, ain't never look back.
When I leave her lost looking for my number on the napkin.
This is how it happened, the voodoo in my rapping.
Who knew she’d be lacking all the skills it take,
To make The King a couple steaks,

Put a stain upon her pretty taint,
Lick the tip or shake the weight,
Up on the first or second date.

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.
