According to Plan
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is upside-down and inside-out
Your bed is missing, the keys are gone.
In a perfect world,
The perfect place is with you.
Under delicate breath...
In a perfect world, there are perfect places with you
But the truth is, the world is without love,
In a perfect world, the perfect place is with you
The truth is, the world is without love.
In a perfect world, the perfect place is with you
The truth is, the world is without love,
In a perfect world, where perfect place is with you
The truth is, the world is without...
The lyrics to I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness's song "According to Plan" are full of layers and depth. The first line, "Hang on the falling edge of reason," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's as if the singer is holding on to some kind of edge, not quite sure what's going on around them. The next lines, "Everyone is upside-down and inside-out / Your bed is missing, the keys are gone," add to this feeling of confusion and displacement. It's as if the world itself is shifting, and the singer is left feeling lost and unsure.
The chorus, with its repetition of "In a perfect world / The perfect place is with you," adds an interesting twist to these feelings. On the one hand, it's a romantic sentiment, expressing the desire to be with a loved one. But in the context of the rest of the song, it takes on a more complex meaning. The singer seems to be searching for stability and grounding in a world that feels like it's falling apart. The idea of a "perfect world" and a "perfect place" with someone they love is something that can provide comfort and a sense of order in a chaotic world.
Overall, "According to Plan" is a song that captures the feeling of being adrift in a world that doesn't quite make sense. The imagery is vivid and evocative, and the repeating chorus adds a haunting quality to the lyrics.

Hang on the falling edge of reason
Stay strong amidst uncertainty and chaos
Everyone is upside-down and inside-out
The world is in disarray and confusion
Your bed is missing, the keys are gone.
You've lost your sense of security and control
In a perfect world,
In an idealized version of reality,
The perfect place is with you.
Being with you is the epitome of perfection
Under delicate breath...
Whispered softly and intimately
In a perfect world, there are perfect places with you
In an idealized version of reality, being with you means being in perfect places
But the truth is, the world is without love,
However, reality is devoid of love
In a perfect world, the perfect place is with you
In an idealized version of reality, being with you is the ultimate dream
The truth is, the world is without love.
But truth be told, love is absent in the real world
In a perfect world, where perfect place is with you
In a world that doesn't exist where being with you is perfect
The truth is, the world is without...
However, the truth is that reality is imperfect and incomplete

This will always have a deep place in my heart. I actually quoted the chorus in my wife's eulogy last year. Thank you for this song.

Siberian Hell Sounds is better

I remember looking thru the US college radio charts in CMJ around 2004 or so, and seeing this band's name showing up in the charts at like 200 different stations. At the time I assumed they were just some bad college band like Staind or Creed, because those guys also charted everywhere.
