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.
Wolf sister
We have just begun
When the branches break
Nothing can be done
What have we become when we begin to soar
Blood begins to spill
No-one wins a war
No-one knows the truth
Music is the sun
Words are wasted breath
That's all there is to know
This love is taste of death
Wolf sister
Never show your face
Never disappear
Never go away
Never disappear,Never disappear
Never ever
I'm a different man since my mother died
Through the bluest hell and out the other side
On the other hand
There was once a ring, then the needle dropped
And birds begin to sing,
Haven't seen her since
Haven't heard her voice
Nothing
Wolf sister
We are what we pretend to be
The remedy'll be the end of me
Dependency's the enemy
Blue becoming ebony
Against the odds incredibly
Wonder whats ahead of me
Struggle or serenity
You are my Identity
Don't let go (x12)
We are right
We are fightin' a sincere fight
Fear might just find us on a clear night
The mere sight could end up payin' a severe price
So hold your breath
Don't let go
Hang on with for dear life
(repeat X2)
Wolf sister
We have just begun
When the chances take and nothing can be done
Immortal we become
When we begin to soar
Wind begins to change
No-one wins a war
No-one knows the truth
Wolf sister
Never disappear,Never disappear
Never ever
We have just begun
When the branches break
Nothing can be done
What have we become when we begin to soar
Blood begins to spill
No-one wins a war
No-one knows the truth
Music is the sun
Words are wasted breath
That's all there is to know
This love is taste of death
Wolf sister
Never show your face
Never disappear
Never go away
Never disappear,Never disappear
Never ever
I'm a different man since my mother died
Through the bluest hell and out the other side
On the other hand
There was once a ring, then the needle dropped
And birds begin to sing,
Haven't seen her since
Haven't heard her voice
Nothing
Wolf sister
We are what we pretend to be
The remedy'll be the end of me
Dependency's the enemy
Blue becoming ebony
Against the odds incredibly
Wonder whats ahead of me
Struggle or serenity
You are my Identity
Don't let go (x12)
We are right
We are fightin' a sincere fight
Fear might just find us on a clear night
The mere sight could end up payin' a severe price
So hold your breath
Don't let go
Hang on with for dear life
(repeat X2)
Wolf sister
We have just begun
When the chances take and nothing can be done
Immortal we become
When we begin to soar
Wind begins to change
No-one wins a war
No-one knows the truth
Wolf sister
Never disappear,Never disappear
Never ever

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
