This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Well, I'm waxing the poetic and waning in denial
When you say go go stop no go
And I'm feeling quite pathetic -Until you flash a smile
you say go go stop no go
These drinks make me feel dizzy -If you leave, I pray you'll miss me
say go go stop no go
But there’s a secret in your laughter - A happily ever after
When You say go go stop no go
AND NOW YOU KNOW
We are the music makers the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
I wake up every morning and feel like a statistic
you say go go stop no go
It's your prickly aggression - That makes me optimistic
you say go go stop no go
Often sick with my confusion which makes you disillusioned
you say go go stop no go
But all is right when you complain
As you scowl in the rain
Then you say go go stop no go
AND NOW YOU KNOW THAT
We are the music makers the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
Hey……….
HEYYYYYYY
STOP, GO, STAY
BUT HEY
STOP GO STAY STAY
HEY
STOP GO STAY
But if you walk away....... close the door
When you say go go stop no go
And I'm feeling quite pathetic -Until you flash a smile
you say go go stop no go
These drinks make me feel dizzy -If you leave, I pray you'll miss me
say go go stop no go
But there’s a secret in your laughter - A happily ever after
When You say go go stop no go
AND NOW YOU KNOW
We are the music makers the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
I wake up every morning and feel like a statistic
you say go go stop no go
It's your prickly aggression - That makes me optimistic
you say go go stop no go
Often sick with my confusion which makes you disillusioned
you say go go stop no go
But all is right when you complain
As you scowl in the rain
Then you say go go stop no go
AND NOW YOU KNOW THAT
We are the music makers the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
Hey……….
HEYYYYYYY
STOP, GO, STAY
BUT HEY
STOP GO STAY STAY
HEY
STOP GO STAY
But if you walk away....... close the door

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.
I love this song, It's just so catchy, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end
"I wake up every morning and feel like a statistic" - such a true line...
I can't believe that only one person has commented on this song, it's brilliant!! The music and the lyrics work so well together!
scarling got the idea of the song title from the origional poem of charlie and the chocholate factory -
"Well, we kiss like painted tigers But we bleed like no one else" Anyone know what thi is referance to?
This is by far my favourite Scarling song, it's addictive. When looking at the lyrics, you KNOW there's something deep in it, about creating music and something new to express yourself, but the entirety of it escapes me.
I have no clue what this song is about... Given the title I'm guessing it has something to do with them making music :D I just wanted to add a comment to say that this song is amazing and it doesn't have enough comments (that it rightfully deserves) ... So I'll add one more :D
"We kiss like painted tigers, But we bleed like no one else."
I second ToxicMuffins. I love those two lines but have no idea what they mean.
Reguarding the lines "We kiss like painted tigers, but we bleed like no one else,' it could be referring to a breed of parrot. As most parrots, they're very colorful and flamboyant, so that could be a reference to the "Rockstar/Artist" persona/lifestyle. Which, I think, fits with the song perfectly. There's also a breed of moth that goes by the name Painted Tiger, though I don't know enough about it to make sense of it in the song's context.
I think the song as a whole is about the artistic lifestyle. The self destructive, melodramatic, hypersensetive, manically creative personality that often comes with artists of all mediums. It's the creative Opheliac, I think. (See Emilie Autumn's song (or album) Opheliac to understand the term, if you don't know what I'm referring to.) Or, though this ties in with the above interpretation, the creativity that sometimes comes with those who suffer from Bipolar Disorder/Manic Depression.
Just my two cents.
