Split, split into
Something else
Shed your precious skin
Save yourself
Bleed, have to purge
What you were
Yes, yes, of course
It's gonna hurt

Nature is violent
The nature of this is violence
No-no-no that was someone else
No-no-no that wasn't me, no

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart
It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart
I don't believe you can even remember which one you are
It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

Thrive, just become
Your disease
Leave them behind
You are free
Take what you want
What you deserve
Yes, yes, of course
This is gonna hurt

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart
It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart
I don't believe you can even remember which one you are
It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know

    My Interpretation

    Just my $.02 here, but does anybody get the feeling like the main character in this song maybe had a case of DID, and the personalities are starting to bleed into each other? That's how it feels to me. Especially the other voice, "It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart", seems to be intimately familiar with both sides of the person and how they tick, and yet they can't see the difference anymore either.

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.
