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.
how come everything
always has its way of turning
right back around again
like that night that she was leaving
and not believing that this time
her fears were all just doubts
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
i know this one felt right
but everytime i walk away i feel shut down inside
today is no exception
and tomorrow breaks again
but I can see
that this will soon be over
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
so you can deal with it
i'm never going back
there's nothing wrong with that
i'm never going back
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
always has its way of turning
right back around again
like that night that she was leaving
and not believing that this time
her fears were all just doubts
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
i know this one felt right
but everytime i walk away i feel shut down inside
today is no exception
and tomorrow breaks again
but I can see
that this will soon be over
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
so you can deal with it
i'm never going back
there's nothing wrong with that
i'm never going back
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are

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.
