Dead Letter Circus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe it′s time we say that it's over
Control
Contracts
Faded smiles on faces we lived
Maybe it′s time we say that it's over
Stop
I'm hoping I can change your mind
I′m empty
I′m hoping you can see the signs
Only I can see to fight again
The moment of defeat to find a way
No one will replace you
Only I can save you
Unconscious addiction
I follow you but you motion to stay
Defiance
Denial
I promise you there is more
I can change
You say let it go
Move on
I keep hanging on
Stop
Help me
I'm hoping I can change your mind
I′m empty
I'm hoping you can see the signs
Only I can see to fight again
The moment of defeat to find a way
No one will replace you
Only I can save you
In plain sight of Dream shattered And I hope that one day I will see you again
Maybe it′s time we say that it's over
Control
Contracts
Faded smiles on faces we lived
Maybe it′s time you leave now
It's over
Stop
Help me
I'm hoping I can change your mind
I′m empty
I′m hoping you can see the signs
Only I can see to fight again
The moment of defeat to find a way
No one will replace you
Only I can save you
The lyrics of "In Plain Sight" by Dead Letter Circus is about a relationship that has ended but one person is struggling to let go. The singer is hoping that one day they will see their former lover again, but they realize that it's time to accept that it's over. The themes of control and contracts suggest that it was possibly a toxic relationship that they were trapped in. The former lover's presence still lingers around them even though they have parted ways.
The chorus of the song repeats the plea for help from the singer to their former lover. They hope to change their minds about the breakup and see the signs that it is worth fighting for. The moment of defeat refers to the realization that they cannot hold on to their former lover forever and the need to find a way to move on. The lyrics express a sense of dependency on the former lover and the belief that no one can replace them in the singer's life.
In conclusion, "In Plain Sight" by Dead Letter Circus is a deep emotional song about coming to terms with the end of a relationship. It explores themes of control, addiction, dependency, and the need for self-redemption. The lyrics have a sense of hopelessness and melancholy mixed with resolve and determination to move forward.

I'm glad I have this hidden treasure in my back pocket. Despite telling everyone how amazing this band is they don't listen. Maybe I should have better friends or just keep jamming Dead Letter Circus!
