Don¹t tell me I¹m imprisoned Don¹t tell me this ain¹t heaven Gaze up at that billboard, she¹s staring down at me Product X in her hands Yes this is the thing that I need I¹ll get this, I¹ll get her, yes with this she can¹t resist me We¹ll make love, Œcause I have Product X which I bought with the cash I make working at my shitty job just to make cash to buy Product X¹s like that A smile on my face and my hands to the sky ŒCause I just cut a deal that will free me for life I tattooed the Product X logo upon my forehead now my days of working are long gone They pay me just to walk around I can¹t wear a hat, I¹m contractually bound To bring up Product X to everyone I see But I still have my dignity you can¹t take that away from me ŒCause my paycheck is fat just for sportin¹ some ink And I spend the cash to score the trash I see advertised on my friends¹ foreheads My face in my hands, my tears fall at my feet Product X went bankrupt, now my head¹s obsolete But a promising meeting with the tattoo guy Has me planning to alter it to Product Y This tattoo¹s my salvation I¹m free now can¹t you see that? I¹m freeŠ

Plastic Bag
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.
