This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Living as we rot
Showered with shadows of dreams devoured
Our souls descend into endless seas of sin
There's no turning back
No repenting, no remorse
Hate stricken creation
I realize in this world
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
It's time to burn
Burn alive
It's time to burn
Burn at the stake
Our eyes crystal clear
Our bodies frozen with fear
And there's nothing to save us now from endless suffering and solitude
We've lost the chance to save this dying world
So we pay the price, of which no one can afford
This is our last breath
The first in a world of misery
There is nothing left
I realize in this world
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
It's time to burn
Burn alive
It's time to burn
Burn at the stake
Showered with shadows of dreams devoured
Our souls descend into endless seas of sin
There's no turning back
No repenting, no remorse
Hate stricken creation
I realize in this world
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
It's time to burn
Burn alive
It's time to burn
Burn at the stake
Our eyes crystal clear
Our bodies frozen with fear
And there's nothing to save us now from endless suffering and solitude
We've lost the chance to save this dying world
So we pay the price, of which no one can afford
This is our last breath
The first in a world of misery
There is nothing left
I realize in this world
There is not one truth cast into stone
Only lies cast into flames
It's time to burn
Burn alive
It's time to burn
Burn at the stake

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.
how are there no comments on this? song is so good, and the only hatebreed to be featured on three separate records (the split 7" with Neglect, Under the Knife, and Satisfaction is the Death of Desire for those curious.)
i think this song is about how our own personal ambitions can sometimes put a blur on the need to remain a good person, and how we must balance those two opposing forces.
