The Plan
Peter and the Bear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her eyes a sea like mine
Yeah I see that she ain't kind
Her lies a wreath that binds
And she makes me want to hide
I love her poison vines
Now she's hunting me tonight
She watch the blood sun rise
I feel it in my head when she leave
Yeah she wanders in my mind
Her eyes a sea like mine
Yeah I see that she ain't kind
Her lies a wreath that binds
And she makes me want to hide
I love her poison vines
Now she's hunting me tonight
She watch the blood sun rise
She watch the blood sun rise
She watch the blood sun rise
The lyrics of Peter and the Bear's song "The Plan" revolves around a sense of longing and a feeling of helplessness to do anything about it. The opening lines paint a picture of two people, one from Argentina, and the other seemingly from elsewhere, caught in a strange predicament. The distance between them seems insurmountable, with the singer acknowledging that it's a long way to South America. Despite this, the singer yearns to be with the person they are addressing, telling them that if they trust in them, they would be there.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that they have limited options to fulfill their desires. Every option they have to bridge the distance costs more than they have. Nevertheless, they continue to express their desire to be with the person they are addressing, admitting that their love seems to be spread thin, affecting not just the object of their affection but everyone else too. Finally, they repeat the refrain of "If you trust in me, if I could I would be there," conveying a sense of helplessness and a hope that the person they are addressing has faith in them to make the impossible happen.
Overall, the song "The Plan" is a poignant reflection of the pain of distance and the yearning to be with the one you love.

Love the whole album, but years of listening and this is the one that seems to get caught in my mind the most. Every option I have costs more than I've got... Trust in me, if I could, I would be there.
