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.”
Hole in the Wall
The Plot in You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holes in the walls, I'm fucking melting
Destined to fall, do you feel me?
It's pulling me further away
My family's breaking and I'm giving myself all the blame
How do you explain that you've been so low you'd steal just to keep your stomach full and your habits up?
I've played that game my time is done
It's like they've left me here just to reflect on my sins
Overdosed, so fucking close
Sometimes it takes losing everything the life I chose
Maybe it's just me and I'll fight it off, I'll find myself
Maybe it's just me and I'll fight it off, I'll find myself
Maybe it's just me and I can't see I'm hurting everyone that found me
Every word that I said all the shit that I fed into the brains of the hopeless
I will teach you nothing, I will take you nowhere
I will teach you nothing, so please just trust me
Open the door just to see
This room was empty
Holes in the walls, I'm fucking melting
Destined to fall, do you feel me?
It's pulling me further away
My family's breaking and I'm giving myself all the blame
Maybe it's just me and I'll fight it off, I'll find myself
Maybe it's just me and I'll fight it off, I'll find myself
Maybe it's just me and I'll fight it off, I'll find myself
Maybe it's just me and I'll fight it off, I'll find myself
(And I'll fight it off, I'll find myself)
I'll fight it off, I'll push it out
I'll make a change, I'll make you proud
I'll fight it off, I'll push it out
I'll make a change, I'll make you proud
I'll fight it off, I'll push it out
I'll make a change, I'll make you proud
I'll fight it off, I'll push it out
I'll make a change, I'll make you proud
