The Plastics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could talk we could walk up all the walls
You could dance on all your fours just to keep away the claws and the thoughts that overwhelm
It's a presence that you got in your mind you wanna fake yourself to another find a link with each other
I know everybody's going, everybody's going left we could make it feel right in the end you got to say
I won't listen
You think you know us but the part you know it's just the part we show
Our eyes are open we could talk it slow or just let go
Like the terror of the pause or the feeling that you gave when you've given up the game like you don't know where your fate is
You never going home it's the pride before the fall wait your time never changes all their minds when the stars become aligned it's so hard to feel tonight when you messing with the signs
We going to get it right, never going to get it right cause we won't listen
You think you know us but the part you know it's just the part we show
Our eyes are open we could talk it slow or just let go
You shoulda seen, you just can't believe what's under the caves in the sea
Want to take a trip into the forest, no one's gonna see us afterwards
Hey, you wanna take a trip into the forest no ones gonna see us afterwards
You think you know us but the part you know it's just the part we show
Our eyes are open we could talk it slow or just let go
You shoulda seen, you just can't believe what's under the caves in the sea
In the song "Caves in," The Plastics are encouraging listeners to look beyond the superficial and seek out the deeper, more meaningful aspects of life. The opening lyrics are a reference to the vast and mysterious ocean, and the idea that beneath the surface lies a world full of wonder and possibility. The band sings about overcoming fear and exploring this world, even when it seems overwhelming.
The lyrics also touch on themes of identity and self-discovery, with lines like "It's a presence that you got in your mind you wanna fake yourself to another find a link with each other." The idea here is that we all have an inner truth that we hide from the world, but by connecting with others and being true to ourselves, we can find a sense of belonging and fulfillment.
The chorus "You think you know us but the part you know it's just the part we show" is a commentary on the way we present ourselves to others, and the fact that there is often much more beneath the surface than we reveal. The band is urging listeners to be open and honest with themselves and each other, and to embrace the complexity and depth that makes us human.

If you'd have all read their description, you would have seen that they clearly stated (AND I QUOTE!) "If you've scrolled down this far, congratulations.
The dancing legend in this video is not Even Peters, and any similarity is unintentional; apologies for any disappointment. But if you are disappointed, think of the bright side, if Evan ever needs a stunt or dance double, he knows where to find one."... jUST SAYING... :)

I could have sworn that was Evan until I realized he was too tall and read the description! XD I laughed so hard. Anyway, great song and great clip and Ross Bennet aka Evan Peters' secret brother is freaking amazing XD, I'm so glad I found this. x)
