In this introspective piece, the artist explores the concept of authenticity and vulnerability. The lyrics reveal a struggle with presenting a facade, symbolized by "wings made of plastic," which suggests an artificial strength or freedom. The mention of silver masquerading as gold further underscores this theme of pretense. The protagonist feels misunderstood - seen as a shooting star from afar but up close, his flaws are evident. He grapples with societal expectations and the pressure to maintain an image that may not be real or sustainable. Ultimately, he confesses that both his wings and his persona are 'made up', indicating a desire for acceptance in his true form, devoid of any pretensions.
Plastic
Lyrics
I know what it is to be broken and be bold
Tell you that my silver is gold
Though we're much too old for make believe
And I know what it's like to behold and not be held
Funny how a stomach unfed
Seems satisfied 'cause it's swell and swollen
And you caught me
Shootin' cross the sky like a star
But nobody told me
To never let it get too far
You see my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me
Can I tell you a secret?
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
Oh, my wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made up
And so am I
