This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm pretty sure she said something like 'Seth you don't listen enough'
I said 'yeah maybe you're right
I can't help it, my mind drifts off
And I'm not really here anymore but I'll try.'
She said 'while we're here on the subject,
I wanna know why you haven't grown up yet'
I said 'don't be upset
But I really didn't hear a fucking word that you just said'
They said I'm disconnected, that's cool my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're saying, we watch it all just float away
I see 'em all coming my way and now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind or I could just float away
I am a boy in a bubble
I am a boat in a bottle
I would love to be here right now but I'm not
I am anywhere else, I am gone
They live life like there ain't no tomorrow
I live life like there ain't no today
All around me they beg, steal, borrow as they quarrel
I just float away, I am gone
Ground control to Major Tom, you can't keep being weird pal
I'm a grown up, I got a beard now
I got a job now, I got a roster
Gots to make the boss proud
He said 'when you're done cleaning glasses
Make sure that you mop and the bar's swept'
I said 'don't be upset
But I really didn't hear a fucking word that you just said'
They said I'm disconnected, that's cool my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're saying, we watch it all just float away
I see 'em all coming my way and now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind or I could just float away
Hey yo I never really felt like I know much
About being grown up I am hopeless
High school I would hang with the stoners
Yeah I guess it probably takes one to know one
I still spend a lot of time on my lonesome
And money's still tight can you loan some?
They said I'm disconnected yeah I just might be
But all my friends are just like me
I told a girl I wanted to be rapper
Made her laugh she told me I was a crack up
We were sitting on the grass in the back yard
Next day faded drinking wine from a jam jar
I said 'I don't have the keys to a car yet
But I got a bag of weed and a sunset'
She said 'don't be upset
But I really didn't hear a fucking word that you just said'
They said I'm disconnected, that's cool my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're saying, we watch it all just float away
I see 'em all coming my way and now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind or I could just float away
They said I'm disconnected, that's cool my friends are too though
Can't hear a word you're saying, we watch it all just float away
I see 'em all coming my way and now they wanna take my time
I could tell 'em what's on my mind or I could just float away

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.
