Confidence blurred by arrogance,
And the self worship continues,
Who is an artist?

You can't decide for yourself,
Straight lines, I see straight lines,
But they control sloppily, stupidly.

Keep that golden, celebrity character to your own conscience
Take a breath and rest your jaw,
A Vertebrae with no spine.

Our entertainment: A mockery
With every laugh and every joke the actor's lungs become more dense with damnation.
Don't mistake my intentions for superiority, let's make that clear.
This isn't right and the worst part is were not pretending.
Don't memorize these names
Eternally.

This world will run dry and well watch the clock,
Well watch what we'll become.
Don't memorize these names,
Eternally.

Take a breath and rest your jaw

    Song Meaning

    I believe this song is about how Artists are only making music to meet girls, as it was said before, and for fame and such. It's really sad. They want groupies, and not to express their art form or spread words of meaning. This is why I love Prada. ;] Originality. Sort of reminds me of Mindless Self Indulgence's "Mark David Chapman".

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
