After some years, the bands long-time producer and songwriter David Clewett was recruited to the band's official personnel as synth player and background vocalist.

They are influenced by the American alternative rock/post-grunge scene as well as electronic and classical music, the combination of which gives the band their unique sound.

In mid-2006, Mattias left the band after they had decided to alter their sound from pop inspired 90's rock to a harder type of rock. Bandit Rock radio host Peter Kjellin replaced Mattias as bassist.

During autumn of 2007, after releasing their debut single Achilles heel on label Dogmatic, Plan Three supported Takida on their tour. Over the years they have also shared stages with bands such as 3 Doors Down, 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore, HIM and The Sounds.

In early 2008, drummer Andreas decided to leave the band to pursue different paths in life. A message was published on their Myspace page, looking for a new drummer. Roughly a month later it was made clear that a new drummer had been found - Andreas Henriksson. In 2010, he left the band, and was replaced with Kristoffer Folin.

In August 2008, a single called Triggers was released. At the same time the band announced an upcoming album. In June 2007 yet another single was released, Still Broken. Their début album, titled Screaming our sins was released in November 2009. Late 2011 saw the release of the first of an upcoming trilogy of EPs, The Signal - Part One.

Be Still My Heart
Plan Three Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run for cover
I'm waiting to go off
As far away as possible
Before we lose it all

So ordinary
The way it always ends
You won't be coming back for me

Let's stop pretending now

Knees to the ground
You should all bow down
It's over now
There's no return
(So I'll just crash and burn)

Now be still my heart
Come on and let me block
(Another heart comes crashing down)
You were all I wanted
But the devils in my head
Won't make this end, right
No, another heart comes crashing down

Truth uncovers
Take your time and tool my head
The inside's unpredictable
The outside's caving in

Fallin' faster
The reason's all the same
A crash is inescapeable
You can stop pretending now

Face to the ground
You should all bow down
It's over now
There's no return
(So I'll just crash and burn)

Now be still my heart
Come on and let me block
(Another heart comes crashing down)
You were all I wanted
But the devils in my head
Won't make this end, right
No, another heart comes crashing down

Fill me up
Break me down
Come on and breathe me
Come on and breathe me
So I'll just crash and burn

Be still my heart
Come on and let me block
(Another heart comes crashing down)
You were all I wanted
But the devils in my head
Won't make this end, right
No, another heart comes crashing down

Ease me
Come on and breathe me
(Another heart comes crashing down)
Ease me
Come on and breathe me

Run for cover
Escape from the impending disaster

I'm waiting to go off
I'm on the edge, waiting to explode

As far away as possible
Trying to distance oneself from the problem

Before we lose it all
Act before everything falls apart

So ordinary
A common occurrence

The way it always ends
The outcome is always predictable

You won't be coming back for me
There won't be another chance

Let's stop pretending now
Stop acting like everything's okay

Knees to the ground
Expressing submission and defeat

You should all bow down
Acknowledging the end and accepting defeat

It's over now
There's no turning back, it's done
