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.
He got flat, baby
Kick in the back, baby
A heart attack, baby
I need your body
A hot kiss, honey
He's just a bitch, baby
You make me sick, baby
So unrelying
I'm such a swine, baby
All down the line, daddy
I hate your kind, baby
So unreliable
A hot buzz, baby
He's one of us, baby
Another drug, baby
You so desire
Trust in me, trust in me
Put all your trust in me
You're doin' morphine
Hoo
You got place, baby
Kicked in the face, baby
You hate your race, baby
You're not the liar
Your every lick, baby
Your dog's a bitch, baby
You make me sick, baby
You soul survivor
She never cut from me
She never cut, baby
I got to work, baby
You just a rival
Always to please, daddy
Right up and leave, daddy
You're throwing shame, daddy
So undesirable
Trust in me, just in me
Put all your trust in me
You're doin' morphine
Go on, babe
Relax
This won't hurt you
Before I put it in
Close your eyes and count to ten
Don't cry
I won't convert you
There's no need to dismay
Close your eyes and drift away
Demerol, Demerol
Oh God, he's taking Demerol
Demerol, Demerol
Oh God, he's taking Demerol
He's tried hard to convince her
To be over what he had
Today, he wants it twice as bad
Don't cry, I won't resent you
Yesterday, you had distrust
Today, he's taking twice as much
Demerol, Demerol
Oh God, he's taking Demerol
Hee-hee
Demerol, Demerol
Oh my, his God is Demerol
Hee, hoo
Oh

Your dog's a bitch, baby
You make me sick, baby
You are a liar
Is truth a game, daddy?
To win the fame, baby
It's all the same, baby
You're so reliable
Trust in me, trust in me
Put all your trust in me
She's doin' morphine
Hoo
You just sit around just talkin' nothing
You're takin' morphine
Hoo
Go on, baby
You just sit around just talking about it
You're takin' morphine
Hoo-hoo
Just sit around just talking nothing about it
You're takin' morphine
You just sit around just talking about it

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.
This song reminds me of the musical genius that Michael Jackson really is. I don't think that many people appreciate that. I really hope we will be able to hear more from him soon. I think he's aching to sing about all the stuff that's happened to him.
