This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You could be my butterfly, field dragonfly
Hide then we'll wonder why
You dont like it we can touch the sky
It's like you and I we multiply
(X2)
Beautiful butterfly..
Hm lets fly just you and I
Over the mountains towards the sun where the houses lie
Im bout to cry rivers of pure pleasure
Your by my side to give my that sure feeling
Im not embarrassed we made it to the highest terrace
And now I cherish, my lady like the finest carrots
No one is near us, spirits in the wind ascend
Fearless I treat you like a friend and then
We gonna end parts in the dark under the shooting stars
A piece of art is ours
I admire the silence is golden we tire by fire
Just holdin each other, a whole world to discover
Tomorrow brings promise with my butterfly lover
I hunger, I hug her and wonder why must this die
Beautiful butterfly...
(Hook)
I walk on air, talk without a care
With you my auras not fair
But the flaws what we gots rare
Lets get lost there and look at the moss
And share thoughts and then cross where they dont flop
Here let me play with your hair
Oh dear, we're really takin it deep
If you seek, you see a life cycle repeat
In front a your eye you peep joy
Go on and keep your boy
We each employ tactics little accent get squashed
Over time im rich off your lip gloss
And ___ off my skin sinks in
I get thinkin, there's no sinkin im a kingpin
Your my queen so serene is the comfort
Im a dragonfly though you know I done hung in dirt
Tongue in work harder get farther tomorrow love larger today
You taught me this way, I learned it I use it
Sometimes choose and at all times know it
Like a raw rhyme poet I speak it and show it
So the whole entire world can grow, with me
(Hook)
Who was there when the smoke clears to appear?
You and I to separate the truth from lie
Eye to eye we step into the future now
Forgive the foul, we make it then we show them how
I hold em out, my cards and I read yours
They speak life and it's not hard to be sure
I feel you like I feel me
I said I dream for you and that's real, see
I once had a vision that every flower died
But I was just trippin and seein the down side
You lifted up my head gave me pride
Now I ride the rhythm deep and wide
Like the tide in the ocean our motions all natural
Postin on the current this love potions actual
They can't kill it with a fashion show
Even though they ration sin my passion grows..
And grows, and grows, and grows..
Hide then we'll wonder why
You dont like it we can touch the sky
It's like you and I we multiply

Beautiful butterfly..

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.

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.
