This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm stumbling through the maze of a newly built estate
Where my feet won't move in time against the pavement
I know I have to fight, I just hope I'll be alright
Hearing echoed chants of a confused statement
And by Monday morning we will sink to the minimum wage
And by Tuesday evening we will fear that we can't cope again
Raise a glass on Friday night where we'll drink it down the drain
Three years at Cambridge but our chances are all the same
Each word feels like a sentence
Each whisper said with vengeance
Blinded by the street lamp glow
With concrete fragrance
But I stand a disciple to a land of a thousand fools
A tribe with no feeling cause we learnt too much at school
Raise a glass to the new day dawning
To the people that time forgot
Raise a glass to your old school photos
And the ideas that time chewed up
And by Monday morning we will sink to the minimum wage
And by Tuesday evening we will fear that we can't cope again
Where my feet won't move in time against the pavement
I know I have to fight, I just hope I'll be alright
Hearing echoed chants of a confused statement
And by Monday morning we will sink to the minimum wage
And by Tuesday evening we will fear that we can't cope again
Raise a glass on Friday night where we'll drink it down the drain
Three years at Cambridge but our chances are all the same
Each word feels like a sentence
Each whisper said with vengeance
Blinded by the street lamp glow
With concrete fragrance
But I stand a disciple to a land of a thousand fools
A tribe with no feeling cause we learnt too much at school
Raise a glass to the new day dawning
To the people that time forgot
Raise a glass to your old school photos
And the ideas that time chewed up
And by Monday morning we will sink to the minimum wage
And by Tuesday evening we will fear that we can't cope again

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.
