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.
The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunder bolt
Well, come here a little closer
'Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up
(Get over here, get over here)
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')
The performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
(I don't know, I didn't think it was ever gonna happen)
So don't wake me if I'm dreamin'
'Cause I'm in the mood, come on and give it up
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')
(Uh, uh, uh)
(Uh, uh, uh)
(Uh, uh, uh)
Keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin'
But your love keeps on coming like a thunder bolt
Well, come here a little closer
'Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up
(Get over here, get over here)
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')
The performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
(I don't know, I didn't think it was ever gonna happen)
So don't wake me if I'm dreamin'
'Cause I'm in the mood, come on and give it up
You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin' (keep on dancin')

“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.
Okay, so No Doubt decided to try something a bit new - DON'T BASH THEM FOR THAT! On every album they've tried something a little different, why shouldn't they now? Maybe I'm just biast because I can tollerate pretty much any kind of music, but if you people are going to turn this into a huge debate about No Doubt selling out, do it on someone else's website! This site is for people who want to tell what certain songs mean to them. If you've been a fan of No Doubt for a long time, and now you suddenly don't like them because they tried something new, you aren't a true fan. If you want to blame someone for this, blame Tony. He was the driving force behind this album, after all. And whatever mood Gwen happens to be in when she writes all the songs for a certain record affect the overall theme of the CD. When she wrote "Return of Saturn" she was all ticked off and Gavin, but now she's engaged and all the songs are happy. Can't you people just be happy for her? Geez! I like this song, so stop bashing No Doubt already!
