This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You’ll never see it coming
that’s a promise I can make
there’s mystery involved and important things at stake
don’t tell me truths that contradict
don’t make me feel philanthropic
charity’s the last thing you’ll get from me
When you turn the other cheek the first one is exposed
the bruises of exposure come from unexpected blows
those who would strike against us are imaginary foes
these words are like lightning that’s coming down in droves
After a long enough time most emotions feel the same
if you ignore what differentiates us then what fun is this game
I used to try to keep a peace with us
but volatility is a release from trust
we've had lots of practice blowing up
When you turn the other cheek the first one is exposed
the bruises of exposure come from unexpected blows
those who would strike against us are imaginary foes
these words are like lightning that’s coming down in droves
It’s open season on feelings and I can’t take any more
perhaps I’ll take you out and mount your head upon my wall
that’s a promise I can make
there’s mystery involved and important things at stake
don’t tell me truths that contradict
don’t make me feel philanthropic
charity’s the last thing you’ll get from me
When you turn the other cheek the first one is exposed
the bruises of exposure come from unexpected blows
those who would strike against us are imaginary foes
these words are like lightning that’s coming down in droves
After a long enough time most emotions feel the same
if you ignore what differentiates us then what fun is this game
I used to try to keep a peace with us
but volatility is a release from trust
we've had lots of practice blowing up
When you turn the other cheek the first one is exposed
the bruises of exposure come from unexpected blows
those who would strike against us are imaginary foes
these words are like lightning that’s coming down in droves
It’s open season on feelings and I can’t take any more
perhaps I’ll take you out and mount your head upon my wall

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.
