The Plot in You have released one EP and four studio albums. Their EP Wife Beater was released in 2010, followed by their debut studio album First Born in 2011, and second studio album Could You Watch Your Children Burn in 2013. On July 17, 2015, the band announced their signing with StaySick Recordings and Happiness in Self Destruction was released on October 16, 2015. On June 15, 2017, they parted ways with StaySick Recordings and signed to Fearless Records while also announced their fourth studio album Dispose, which was released on February 16, 2018. Their fifth studio album, Swan Song, was released on September 17, 2021.
The Plot In You continue to move forward on their fifth full-length album and second for Fearless
Records, Swan Song. The Ohio quartet— Landon Tewers [vocals], Josh Childress [guitar], Ethan Yoder
[bass], and Michael Cooper [drums]—stare down years of negativity, soured friendships,
disappointment, and mistakes and flush it all away in the wake of hammering distortion, towering
melodies, cinematic production, and unapologetically cathartic lyrics. Ascending to the apex of an eight-
year grind, the band reached critical mass on 2018’s DISPOSE. The standout “FEEL NOTHING” exploded
with 28 million US streams, while the project eclipsed 55 million US streams. Billboard raved, “DISPOSE
is the band’s most polished and cohesive work to date,” and Alternative Press noted, “DISPOSE makes it
clear that TPIY challenge both the listeners and themselves more and more with each release.” Grading
the album “9.0-out-of-10,” Rock Sound predicted it “should finally – and deservedly – make The Plot In
You a name that everyone knows.” They supported the record by hitting the road with Underoath, The
Amity Affliction, Like Moths To Flames, Sum 41, and more. After racking up over 100 million streams and
receiving praise from Billboard, Rock Sound, Alternative Press, and more, the group wave off darkness
with unassuming confidence and clarity on Swan Song ignited by the single “Face Me.”

The Plot in You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've managed to disfigure me, I'm already ruined
I am a part of you, I live because you breathe
Do you honestly not feel anything for me?
How could you do this to yourself,
2 days before you didn't even know his name
Will I ever get the chance to meet my father?
Do you even know who he is?
I'll pray that you just change your mind
You drank yourself to nothing,
I just wanted to see your face
The lyrics to The Plot in You's song Bleeders describe the perspective of an unborn child whose mother is considering having an abortion. The child has been in the mother's womb for three months and fourteen days, and the mother's actions have already disfigured them.
The child considers themselves to be a part of the mother and lives only because she breathes. Despite this connection, the child questions whether the mother feels anything for them. The child is saddened and confused by the mother's decision to consider an abortion, especially since just two days prior, she did not even know the name of the person responsible for the pregnancy.
The child expresses a desire to meet their father and asks if the mother even knows who he is. The child pleads with the mother to change her mind and not go through with the abortion. Despite the mother's actions, the child still holds onto hope that they will one day see her face.
Overall, the lyrics are a poignant and emotional exploration of the difficult decision to continue or terminate a pregnancy.

I have a question. Please tell me there is a physical copy of this cd? If not you should definately make some hard copies :)
Esther Minor
I think I like this better than their new album.
Jon Coolbaugh
Wife Beater is mainly about domestic abuse, First Born is mainly about abortion, and Can You Watch Your Children Burn is just venting out pure anger lol, at least thats what I gathered from them
CGFAN420
Thats a shame:/ This is definately a release I'd like to have in my collection & not just on my itunes.
Mitch Gerritsen
sounds to me like something about landon and him not knowing his father, i could be wrong. but the fathers seed sounds way more about abortion
Thriller Records
@ilovemyskateboard12 - we released their EP Wife Beater before they were on Rise Records - @screamorockstar is right!
