The Plan
Evan Evans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slipping away that's where I've been
Kiss ya sweet dreams like we're dying
Running like a leopard that's a good plan
You and I both want the same thing
Hits us like a wave in the morning
Keeping my word that's the main thing, to the moon
Nothing feels better than to pull through
I'm dipping out not impressed by the big talk
Back handed shit don't faze me
Gaslighting brown-nosing
I'm not crazy, so
We can take a ride in the silence
Slipping away that's where I've been
Kiss ya sweet dreams like we're dying
Try and make it better that's a good plan
But I'm greeted by the guest like a stranger
It doesn't feel good to remember
I guess it was worth it cuz we met there
Back then so young with the long hair
Yeah we can take the dive if we want to
Selling our dreams down the avenue
Now you're all in on the white lie
Not to split hairs it's a love life
We can take a ride in the silence
Slipping away that's where I've been
Kiss ya sweet dreams like we're dying
Try and make it better that's a good plan
We can take a ride in the silence
Slipping away that's where I've been
Kiss ya sweet dreams like we're dying
Running like a leopard that's a good plan
That's a good plan
The lyrics of "The Plan" by Evan Evans reflect themes of introspection, escapism, and self-awareness. The opening lines, "We can take a ride in the silence, slipping away that's where I've been," suggest a desire to escape from the noise and chaos of everyday life and find solace in solitude. The idea of slipping away can symbolize a retreat into one's thoughts or emotions, seeking clarity or peace in a quiet space.
The imagery of kissing sweet dreams like they're dying may signify a sense of urgency or importance attached to moments of vulnerability or intimacy. The line "Running like a leopard that's a good plan" could be interpreted as embracing a sense of freedom and spontaneity in navigating life's challenges, likening oneself to a swift and agile predator.
The repeated refrain "Keeping my word that's the main thing, to the moon" highlights the value placed on honesty and commitment, suggesting a determination to follow through on promises and maintain integrity in relationships. The reference to feeling hits like a wave in the morning underscores the emotional impact of experiences and the need to confront them head-on.
Throughout the song, there is a defiance against manipulation and deceit, with lyrics addressing themes of authenticity and autonomy. Lines like "I'm not crazy, so" and "Back handed shit don't faze me, gaslighting brown-nosing" suggest a clear-eyed awareness of toxic behaviors and a refusal to be swayed by insincere flattery or manipulation. The overall tone of the song conveys a sense of resilience and self-assurance, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself even in the face of challenges.

Choosing to leave instead of engaging in empty conversations
Back handed shit don't faze me

But I'm greeted by the guest like a stranger
Feeling unwelcome or out of place in familiar surroundings
It doesn't feel good to remember
Reflecting on memories that bring discomfort or pain
I guess it was worth it cuz we met there
Finding value in past experiences, despite the challenges
Back then so young with the long hair
Revisiting a time of youth and innocence
Yeah we can take the dive if we want to
Choosing to take a risk or make a bold move
Selling our dreams down the avenue
Compromising our aspirations for temporary gain
Now you're all in on the white lie
Being fully committed to a deception or falsehood
Not to split hairs it's a love life
Accepting imperfections and complexities in relationships
