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.
Let me lock in the system at Warp 2
Push it on into systematic overdrive, you know what to do
Let's cruise past all the golden poo
That makes me blue
This thing gonna ? on the...
Poopship, poopship destroyer
On the poopship, poopship destroyer
Let me jam all the frequencies on channel 2
I've been chewin' on this brownie
And I thinks I'm almost through
Let's cruise, the chocolate stew was you know who
I told you to jam the frequency
This sector's chartered by you
Everybody
Poopship, on the poopship destroyer
The poopship, poopship destroyer
Poo, poo, poop
Push it on into systematic overdrive, you know what to do
Let's cruise past all the golden poo
That makes me blue
This thing gonna ? on the...
Poopship, poopship destroyer
On the poopship, poopship destroyer
Let me jam all the frequencies on channel 2
I've been chewin' on this brownie
And I thinks I'm almost through
Let's cruise, the chocolate stew was you know who
I told you to jam the frequency
This sector's chartered by you
Everybody
Poopship, on the poopship destroyer
The poopship, poopship destroyer
Poo, poo, poop

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.
seeing it live was pretty moving, i must say.
I think Ween are on a two-man quest to rid the world of musical shit. They're on the Poopship Destroyer afterall, which one can only take to mean they're out to destroy shit. Perfect Ween brownness right here.
I am going to guess it is about a man who gets sucked down a toilet and ends up on a ship to destroy poop. Idk it is just a weird song.
yay first comment! seems like this song is about... poop haha "golden poo", "poopship", "brownie", "chocolate stew"? sounds like it to me maybe its about the poopship destroyer exploring the endless colon caverns...heh
"This thing gonna ???? on the" Sounds like he's saying "This thing's on a bucket of barrels" ...doesn't make too much sense but, it doesn't really have too... it could mean something like '10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag' I could also be enitrely wrong... but at least I"m trying? Yeah. At least I'm trying.

Or it could be referring to the 'bucket-to-barrels composting toilet system'
