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.”
Bully
The Plot in You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could hold it in and just let go,
A word could never destroy me,
But you just pushed my limits
Everyone hates you,
You're such a fucking failure,
Parents look, parents stare at you,
I feel my stomach turning,
Everywhere I look they're staring at me,
Eyes on my back, it's eating me alive,
There has never been someone that gets me like you,
The chills are racing up my neck
When you fall asleep tonight
The devil's watching every move you make,
Take your fucking words and just leave me alone,
This is over, take a step back now
There has never been someone that gets me like you,
The chills are racing up my neck,
You can never antagonize me,
I am bigger than this
I'll never leave
