Crows
The Plot in You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I paced the room about a thousand fucking times
They wanna change me but I think I'm doin' fine
I've got a lot on my mind I've got some things to work out
You must be foolish or blind to think that I've burnt out

Things change, everyone changes
Same town with all new faces
Can't fight it, can't stop it, no!
Probably suffer till I slit my own throat

This tongue has ruined many things within my path
But then again its probably brought me where I'm at
I'm a sick mother fucker with a crooked smile
And if you think you've got a problem I'll just add you to the pile

The crows are waiting
The crows are waiting on me
There's no escaping
There's no escaping this place

I broke my mothers heart
I lost my fathers trust
It was the murder threats that came between the three of us
God damn, I'm everything you think I am
Drank myself into this hole and I might need a hand
(I might need a hand)
Withdraw, withdraw!
My nostrils caked in adderall
I'm gone, I'm gone
Got nothing but these bedroom walls

Gotta get my fix one more time
That's right, one more line
I can't be satisfied till I feel paralyzed

The crows are waiting
The crows are waiting on me
There's no escaping
There's no escaping this place

Sink so smooth
Feel nothing else
The sounds keeping beat with my breathing

Wide awake!
I lie here shaking
Cold sweats and all my options taken

I can dream, I can try, I can follow through
Gotta fight it cause I know it's fucking killing you
God damn I'm everything you think I am.l
Drank myself into this hole and I might need a hand

The crows are waiting
The crows are waiting on me




There's no escaping
There's no escaping this place

Overall Meaning

The Plot in You's song Crows depicts a downward spiral of addiction and struggle with oneself. The singer is pacing and grappling with thoughts in their head. The people around them want to change them, but they believe they are doing fine. They acknowledge that they have a lot on their mind and they need to work through some things. The chorus illustrates the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape the situation they are in.


The second verse talks about the destructive tongue of the singer and how it has ruined many things in their life. They know they have a twisted personality but they would add anyone to their pile of problems if they felt they needed to. The bridge talks about how they have lost the trust of their parents and that they might need help to get out of the hole they've dug for themselves.


The last verse takes an even darker turn as the singer mentions they are addicted to drugs and that they need just one more fix. They can't be satisfied until they are paralyzed which could potentially mean they are seeking oblivion to escape their problems. It concludes with the feeling of being stuck and having no way out.


Overall, the song illustrates the desperation and hopelessness that ensues when someone is stuck in a vicious cycle of addiction and self-destructive behavior.
