I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
The underworld element beckoned in a dream to
Find a sidekick pronto I should
Think Thelma not Daria
So I search hard and near and far for
Someone the description called for
Thought seldom not Daria
Found her in a suburban wasteland
Swaddling clothed and caked in beach sand
At first sight thought that I might turn and
Run out of fear and intrigue
I stood numb kind of military
I'd found her I'd keep her
Safe and sound
Don't make a sound
Look up at the sky shit's going down
I heard a bang and stars collided
Her skin drew me in just like a magnet
Little girl my little world is yours
I took a one way highway headed West heaven bound
Never even thought once to turn round
Real life plays tricks on the brain
Pointed fingers were left in the dust and The ones who doubted rusted
We're out of here like Vladimir
Now I'm looking at a picture where I'm right beside you
Eyes shine with a light that binds you
To this fool with Super Glue
From all the way across the nation
You came with just your name and
Your suitcase I'll keep you
Safe and sound
Don't make a sound
Look up at the sky shit's going down
I heard a bang and stars collided
Her skin drew me in just like a magnet
Little girl my little world is yours
Big bang little girl run away with me
And be my Thelma & Louise
Brush that sand off your ask
Your questions later love me long time
Find a sidekick pronto I should
Think Thelma not Daria
So I search hard and near and far for
Someone the description called for
Thought seldom not Daria
Found her in a suburban wasteland
Swaddling clothed and caked in beach sand
At first sight thought that I might turn and
Run out of fear and intrigue
I stood numb kind of military
I'd found her I'd keep her
Safe and sound
Don't make a sound
Look up at the sky shit's going down
I heard a bang and stars collided
Her skin drew me in just like a magnet
Little girl my little world is yours
I took a one way highway headed West heaven bound
Never even thought once to turn round
Real life plays tricks on the brain
Pointed fingers were left in the dust and The ones who doubted rusted
We're out of here like Vladimir
Now I'm looking at a picture where I'm right beside you
Eyes shine with a light that binds you
To this fool with Super Glue
From all the way across the nation
You came with just your name and
Your suitcase I'll keep you
Safe and sound
Don't make a sound
Look up at the sky shit's going down
I heard a bang and stars collided
Her skin drew me in just like a magnet
Little girl my little world is yours
Big bang little girl run away with me
And be my Thelma & Louise
Brush that sand off your ask
Your questions later love me long time

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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 track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
The Vladimir thing is just a saying. Like "See ya later, alligator." The song itself is about hsi girlfriend (at the time) I believe her name was Sonia. As was "Rescue" on the same album. Though unlike "Rescue," "Bang" was only played a few times live, and then dropped out of their setlists.
First off, let me say I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. Eve 6 is an awesome band and all of their songs rock.
Secondly, I don't exactly know what the Daria reference means but it could be referring to an animated character on and MTV show who was often cynical. I don't know if that's what he means but hopefully it helps.
Vladamir Komarov was a famous Russian cosmonaut.He was the first person to die during a space flight. Space is theme throughout the song, so "we're out of here, like Vladamir."
This song is pretty obvious, he's found his soulmate. This is one of my favorite Eve 6 songs. :)
mine too, like u said, he found his soulmate, even tho shes not perfect and rich and beautiful, she's his.
I think it's about looking for something different but finding wit u should have been looking 4 in the 1st place
i love this song bc its one of those fairy tale romances, which never happen in real life, but hey we can all dream right
This song is Eve 6's best song....lyrically and musically. I love the "ding" guitar part during the verses.
I agree with all of the above.. This is their best song.. Ah, I just love it so much. ^_^
i love this song. the scenery created by the lyrics is so surreal and outlandish and beautiful. i wish i knew what figures in our culture eve6 was referring to by "thelma" "daria" and "vladimir" though (unless theyre totally random). it would make more sense then. does anyone know? but anyway. it's great. it's like he finds some great crazy treasure and doesn't know what to do with it and then finally takes it and cant part with it ever again. and the stars collide;) oh i love this song!
