So here now for the reason this song was actually made and the meaning to this song, Digging Your Grave was a song made by this band about the bands hatred for singer/songwriter/douche bag, Austin Carlile, in which we don't know why, but from one side i heard he had sexually abused Landon's sister, and another time I'd heard that he stole a bunch of shit from the studio they were recording in, or something like that. Regardless, to summarize, the song is about killing Austin Carlile. -Westt00
Digging Your Grave
The Plot in You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think you know why I'm here
It's time I take what's mine
I think you know me
I think you know why I'm here
I will not waste my time
Heah
I will not waste my time
Do you remember
The night I told you you'd lost it?
I swear that I mean it
I'm not afraid to admit that I've changed
I'm not to be trusted
There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
That will change my thinking
(That will change my thinking)
You can't change things
All I know is this is wrong
And I'm taking back what's mine
And you can watch me
Listen close, listen close
You will never cross my mind
And you can trust me
(You will never cross my mind)
I hope that you know
That it's been my mission to ruin you
I will not die until it's done
What were you expecting?
You know that I'm so cold
And my emotions are aimless
You don't stand a chance
You don't stand a fucking chance, prick
I won't control myself this time
And I will laugh in the face
Of the fuck that betrayed me
One by one he will say his petty words
And one by one I will tear his limbs apart
One by one
I will tear your limbs apart
And to your friends
Fuck, fuck them all
Fuck you all
You worthless slime
Fuck you all
No, I will never let this down
All I know is this is wrong
And I'm taking back what's mine
And you can watch me
Listen close, listen close
You will never cross my mind
And you can trust me
You will never cross my mind
You will never cross my mind
Wo-o-oh
The first stanza of The Plot in You's song "Digging Your Grave" sets the stage for a revenge fantasy. The singer believes that the person they are addressing knows them and why they are there, implying that some past transgression has created bad blood between them. The second line suggests that the singer feels like they have been wronged and deserve something that is rightfully theirs. The repetition of "I think you know me" and "I think you know why I'm here" adds to the ominous tone of the song and creates a feeling of unease.
In the second stanza, the singer references a specific incident where they told the other person that they had "lost it." It is unclear what this means, but the singer makes it clear that they are not to be trusted. The singer is uninterested in anything the other person might say or do to change their mind. The repetition of "You will never cross my mind" underscores the idea that the singer is not going to be swayed from their mission. The final lines of this stanza are particularly chilling - the singer is on a mission to ruin the other person and will not stop until they succeed.
In the final stanza, the singer declares that they will not control themselves this time and will "tear [the other person's] limbs apart." This language is graphic and suggests a level of violence that is alarming. The repetition of "one by one" adds to the sense of inevitability - the other person's fate is sealed. The final lines of the song leave no doubt that the singer is angry and uncompromising. "You will never cross my mind" is repeated three times, emphasizing the depth of the singer's hatred and their determination to see their plan through to the end.
Overall, "Digging Your Grave" is a dark and unsettling song about revenge. It paints a picture of a person who is consumed by their anger and willing to go to great lengths to get what they feel is owed to them. The lyrics are graphic and disturbing, but they also suggest a sense of catharsis for the singer. Whether or not they are able to carry out their plans remains unknown, but there is a sense that they will stop at nothing to get what they want.

I will rip your appendages off
And to your friends
And to your acquaintances
