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”
About what is going on here
But I think there is no better explanation on that fact
Than these biological perspective
That maybe the gods want something (something)
Gods want something
Gods want something
Gods want something
Gods want something
Break it up
Layin' on your back again
You know you will regret this
Yo espero y quiero
Live in these tied knots, give up to me
Is it a mistake? You set me up
'Cause this will only mean our disgrace
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style that I bring you
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style I bring you
Say you wanna be a friend
But real friends don't play pretend
La sangre off my face
Don't mean a thing, just give up to me
Is it a mistake? You set me up
'Cause this will only mean our disgrace
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style that I bring you
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style that I bring you
Gods want something
Gods want something
Gods want something
Pushing yourself on me
Will not get you there
And blinding me with your plea
You say you will be fair
Everything that you find
Inside you will regret
Read all the fucking signs
Choke on your own sweat
You're wrong, think to beg
Us to be reunite, nothing
I fucking hate you, I fucking hate you
Choke on your sweat
Is it a mistake? You set me up
'Cause this will only mean our disgrace
Is it a mistake? You set me up
'Cause this will only mean our disgrace
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style that I bring you
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style that I bring you
Baila la rumba latina
Swallow the style that I bring you
Gods want something
Gods want something
Gods want something
But I think there is no better explanation on that fact
Than these biological perspective
That maybe the gods want something (something)
Gods want something
Gods want something
Gods want something
Gods want something
Break it up
Layin' on your back again
You know you will regret this
Yo espero y quiero
Live in these tied knots, give up to me
Is it a mistake? You set me up
'Cause this will only mean our disgrace
Baila la rumba latina

“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.
this is a cool song.
