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.
Devil girl, here's my heart to melt if you'd like... you see I've singed and I'm ready to hurt again... pathetic girl, here's my heart to melt if you'd like, but doesn't it burn when your words lose the flame? I would never run and turn my back, I think in fact, I'd scream is straight to your face... the cries were merely lies to turn my eyes from an all look girl... you're such an all look girl... and I'll say it to save myself in the end again and again and again... there will never be a you and me because you lied to me at the same time you cried to me, and all the while I died to see that you chose me the one to be... the one that you used, I would've done anything for you... it's so like you to drop one thousand words and eight hours at the wonder of a face behind a screen type typing away... you living is a waste of a perfectly healthy heart... you showed me what love is, a fairy tale that fades with age... I'd open my wrists to mend this hearts hurt to a bitter end if I dare again... your starlit silhouette on the side of a car light bright interstate I regret... for every kiss I regret, for every day I regret, for every apology that I regret, there's one thousand times the regret for giving you the time of day... I hope this ruins you 'cause I regret every ounce of you... and it seems the rain only brought more smiles and more happiness at that... and its safe to say I won't forget your face, but I can honestly say I won't forgive you

“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.
