This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You said "I come in peace" so I took you home
I gave you food and I gave you clothes
I taught you how to move your feet when the rhythms on
Still you wanna leave 'cause you feel alone
You don't know what they're like
If they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen (listen, listen)
Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack
Before you came around I was in a rut
Didn't have a friend, didn't know what it was
You taught how to dream and how to love
You're my best friend please listen to me
You don't know what they're like
If they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen (listen, listen)
Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack
Uh
Greetings, I fell from the sky
I'm from a different world I use Lil Wayne as a disguise
And my flying saucer crashed, I'm the only one that survived
I'm only taking over this planet since I arrived
I'm in a backpack, I'm ducking Men in Black
Yeah, I'm an alien, my swag is outta this world
Different galaxy, they try to capture me
When I die they gonna name this planet after me
Wayne's world (Wayne's world, Wayne's world)
Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack
In our planet we don't kill one another
We don't take love for granted
It's a gift from the mother
In your planets you are filled
With greed and false belief
We came here to bring you peace
I gave you food and I gave you clothes
I taught you how to move your feet when the rhythms on
Still you wanna leave 'cause you feel alone
You don't know what they're like
If they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen (listen, listen)
Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack
Before you came around I was in a rut
Didn't have a friend, didn't know what it was
You taught how to dream and how to love
You're my best friend please listen to me
You don't know what they're like
If they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen (listen, listen)
Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack
Uh

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
I feel like the whole song is a metaphor. He's in a relationship that he wants to keep secret and away from the public eye.
"You don't know what they're like , if they know that you're alive " He's talking about the paparazzi/ fans and how if they find out there will be a lot of hate etc and people bombarding her . And him being Justin Bieber knows exactly what this is like .
"Stay in my backpack forever" He wants to keep it a secret forever.
"I can't stay in your backpack forever" She's saying they can't hide forever.
