Plans
The Broadcast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looked but nowhere to belong
The status I achieve
holds nothing I believe
And we drift unmanned
According to no plan
Can't say what we're affected by
Something has us beat
Leaves us open to defeat
And we drift unmanned
According to no plan
The status I achieve
Holds nothing I believe
And we drift unmanned
According to no plan
The Broadcast's song "Plans" explores the feeling of uncertainty and lack of direction in life. In the opening lines, the singer feels lost and unable to find a sense of belonging. They have achieved some level of success or status, but it holds no meaning to them. The song takes on a more existential tone as they reflect on how life seems to be meandering on without any clear plan or purpose. The line "Something has our speed / Leaves us open to defeat" implies that there may be external forces that influence our lives beyond our control.
The chorus, "And we drift on and among / According to no plan," is a powerful message that resonates with many people who feel adrift in life. It can be interpreted as a call to let go of the need for control and embrace the uncertainty that life brings. Rather than trying to impose our own plans and goals on the world, we should accept that sometimes we are at the mercy of circumstances beyond our control.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh, and I found myself lost
I feel lost and uncertain about my place in the world
Looked but nowhere to belong
Despite searching, I cannot find a sense of belonging
First status I achieve holds nothing I believe
The first recognition or success I gain is empty and does not align with my values
And we drift on and among
We float aimlessly without direction or purpose
According to no plan
Our actions are not guided by any clear strategy or intention
And I don't know where we are
I am disoriented and unsure of our current location or situation
Can't say what we're affected by
I cannot identify the factors that are influencing us
Something has our speed
There is an external force that is driving us forward
Leaves us open to defeat
This force makes us vulnerable to failure or collapse
First status I achieve
Even if I achieve some level of recognition or success
Holds nothing I believe
It does not align with my values or aspirations
And we drift on and among
We continue to float without purpose or direction
According to no plan
Our actions remain unguided and haphazard
