In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Chorus
They be like, "you so irresponsible"
[Verse 1: Heems]
The most excellent God vision crystal
Twisted spliff with your twisted sister
No, it ain't my fault, no not me
You couldn't see me like a jewish nazi
Das racist, the number one slept on
You couldn't see us like quarks and leptons
Wholesale, tetany, tea bags in the pantry
Brown banshee, boss tried to ban me
Bond me, mommy, hand me a grammy
A grand for my family, a house for my granny
Cup filled with booze as big as the Stanely
Plus bread, plus cheese, something like a sammy
Dream a' knockin' Hima Over, leaving with the hematome
Rockin till the beat is over, Heems the holder of the boulder
Eager beaver beat her over, cam corder, Chevy Nova
Scheming soldier, deep scolder, dippin when the heat is over
Chorus
[Verse 2: Kool A.D.]
Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh nickname prince ruffian, animal husband
Anything something, anything nothing nothing nothing
They shooting, who's ducking, whos chicken? who's joking?
Who's juking? who's jerking? Who's jerk chicken is this?
Can I handle it for a minute?
Who's in this to win this for the spinach?
For the brisket, for the bisquick, for the biscuits
Make biscuits, take this kiss, break this kiss
Break break break chick chick chick
Tick tick tick, bang bang bang , d-d-d-d-d dang
D-d-d-d-d-damn, no sleep, no tryptophan
No kick the can, spinnin like a ceiling fan
Where the feeling man
Reeling in the year
Steely Dan, for realie fan
Chorus
[Verse 3: Lakutis]
Girl shake it like a chicken wing
Eat it like a chicken foot
Chicken what? chicken butt
Bhack Bhack chicken chicken.(3x)
Yeah, you fucking with a death shark
Blood eagle bug eagle
Running round the fire circle for
A little little baby booboo all the voodoo that you do
Its so remarkable plus you can see me in my cyber punk
Cess pool, this cess pool is the best pool
Best kept cool in the test tube
Best dressed fool in the death cube
I come about my jimmy karma karma caress you
Come come my lady I'mma hand you this vegetable
Chiba Chiba Bhudda Bhudda Whoda Whoda
Dodo dodo dududasta
Jewish Eddie Murphy in your barber shop. mazeltov
Drop it like its hot

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.
