Of all the great inventions constructed from the unstoppable molecule, nothing can resolve it's magnetic impulse to club me into silence. You broke my heart before I had the chance to fall in love. What am I supposed to do? You say those words,they're just beyond me. Where do you start when you are already in the middle of things? Do you love me? You canÕt say it but you can feel it. I wish ourselves the best.

    I think this song is about the inefficiency of emotion, guys. God I'm a genius for figuring that out.

    Nah, but really, what I'm thinking is that the lyricist was in one of those times where a bunch of emotional problems, stimuli, and obstacles were in the way...so many things were going wrong and it didn't matter how he felt about it, they still went wrong. I get that impression because of all the questions he asks, and the general incensed and passionate feeling that you can feel as he sings it. It's like he took a generalized frustration and emotional distress that existed on as many levels as possible and compacted it into a few short lyrics so charged with emotion that it's almost incapacitating.

    Great song. I scream along to it, too, mighteemmoouse. ;)

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.
