The plan
Peter and the Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Take what you need
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

Overall Meaning

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.

Great story!

I Have heard stories of animals protecting children and adults when they were lost or injured.

Even one when a women went into labor and as her car got stuck in the snow. She got out of the car attempting to walk, after a distance she could go no further she found a small amount of protection under a pine tree. As she started to give birth a pack of wolves came to her laying down around the women as she gave birth, and they stayed close to her and the baby until help arrived leaving only when the group was close.

These situations have happened all over the world with all different kinds of wild life. Deer, elk, bears, lions and wolves.

I have always believed that Angels come to us when in need in any form, or send animal's to aid and keep us safe. It does not happen for everyone as the person's time on earth maybe close to ending.

I hope the Ranger and his wife were able to adopt the little boy. The way I look at it that little boy couldn’t have a better father, because Peter never gave up, he put himself at risk to save the child from being mauled by a bear, that’s the kind of father we all want! What a story he will have to tell that little boy when he grows up. Very cool.
