The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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 is already listed under LINKIN PARK
YOU RETARD, THE NAME OF THE BAND IS LINKIN PARK. HYBRID THERY IS THE NAME OF THE CD...
hybrid theory was what Linkin Park were called before they signed to a record label. that's what they named the cd that. i think the guy putting these lyrics down is trying to show everyone how much of a fan he is by calling the band by their name before they "sold out". yawn...
no. hes putting the lyrics down for the band that wrote them. this song was done by Linkin Park WHEN they were known as Hybrid Theory. its like Esaúl which is as good as A Place For My Head... but its different cos they werent called that. so this guy wasnt trying to show how much of a fan he is, he is labelling the songs correctly.
otherwise people would put Shihad and Pacifier together, and anyone else who changed their names...
ITS DIFFERENT>
right on wayne
gee you would think a REAL Linkin Park fan would know that already...
I don't even like them that much and i knew that...
actually, lp wanted to name their band hybrid theory,but sum otha band was already in that name,so they were gonna name it licoln park.but the website wasnt really working out so thats the way the name"linkin park" came up....n yea i simply love this song
Hmm...and all this time i just thought that My December, High Voltage, and Part of Me were, like, secret import tracks on the LP album CALLED Hybrid Theory...and yeah, the deal is, They were called Hybrid Theory, but some band called Hybrid (listed right above these guys in the "H" section of the artist directory) had a stick in their ass and told 'em they had to change their name...but I don't know the story od how they got the name Linkin Park...anyway...kickass song, I love listening to it and walking around MY snow-covered home...
