Gonna make myself into a painting
A masterpiece of plastic and pearls
Cause outside the watching world is waiting
On everyone to see my plastic curls
And on this days my ... will be shining
They’ll shine so clear you’ll never see my eyes
You’ll only ever see the silver lining
I swear to god I’m gonna win first prize

Cause I’m the queen of the 21st century
I’m the long lost lover and I’ll be what I wanna be
I’ve got a razorblade and a pocket full of dreams
Cause I’m a blue eyed boy and I know just what I need

Gonna paint myself into the perfect picture
You can stand and stare your eyes will all turn green
Then I’ll mix my pills into a magic mixture
And then melt myself into your magazine
And in the lines, my name will be burning
I’m the perfect head all the ladies will follow me
I’m a shining star oh god knows that I’ve earned it
Oh every man that woman, wants to be

Cause I’m the queen of the 21st century
I’m a long lost lover and I’ll be what I wanna be
I’ve got a razorblade and a pocket full of dreams
Cause I’m a blue eyed boy and I know just what I need

I’m never going to let my plastic die
Take my razorblade and cut away the years
Cause everybody knows that boys don’t cry
But I need a razorblade to cut away these tears
But my blade is blunt and it won’t cut any deeper
I push so hard but all I do is bleed
My pills and pastes they don’t come any cheaper
I’m gonna cut until there’s nothing left of me

Cause I’m the queen of the 21st century
I’m a long lost lover and I’ll be what I wanna be
I’ve got a razorblade and a pocket full of dreams
Cause I’m a blue eyed boy going down in history

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.
