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.”
DISPOSABLE FIX
The Plot in You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But thinking about it, maybe I just thrive on the chase
And I'm in lust
And you
Never take time to look through
Everything I try
Try to do for you
And you, you, you
Need to prove, prove, prove you're in it
And let go of
Every fear you had
Lay low, lay low, she knows, she knows
Blow white straight to my brain
Works best when she's complaining, ooh, ooh
And I said give me a break, I'm only human
Fucked with too many petty bitches, ain't got time for this shit
Those peasant pussies probably took it, but you'll take what you get
I know, I know it's supposed to be give and take
It's just a show, and I'm the one that takes the blame
Don't stop faking
My conscience ain't afraid of you yet
And if your soul's still fading
I'm done contemplating with it
You're not a victim of shit
I put myself on the back burner
Held myself back for you
I'm a disposable fix
I'm only stating the facts for you
Now I got nothing to lose
The first verse of "Disposable Fix" by The Plot in You depicts the singer's tendency to crave the chase rather than the end result. He confesses that he could've had sex with his lover for days, but insists that he's more into the thrill of it all than anything else. The chorus highlights his frustration with his lover's lack of appreciation for the efforts he makes. He craves her validation and wants her to prove to him that she's in it for the long haul. The singer goes on to detail how his illicit activities with drugs infiltrate his relationship, and how it's all affecting his mental state.
The second verse in "Disposable Fix" is heavy with resentment and disappointment. It's clear that the singer is no longer content with his current situation. The chorus is repeated, with an added emphasis on how much he's had to sacrifice to keep his relationship going. This time, it's clear that he thinks it's "just a show" and that he's the one who's been taking all the blame. In the bridge, he goes on to say that he knows he's not a victim and only has himself to blame for how things have turned out. He ends the song by acknowledging that he's a "disposable fix" and has nothing left to lose.
