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.”

The Plot in You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel him moving,
I can hear his heart beating,
All the color comes back to his face,
Please keep breathing,
Keep your heart beating.
I keep on praying he's happy,
I keep praying he's happy.
(Hold on tightly brother)
Hold on tightly brother,
I'm doing everything, everything that I can do,
To keep you here with me,
To keep your heart beating.
I'll keep your heart beating.
Let this be the day,
You finally realize you are all to blame,
This is your fault,
Let him live.
Ten years have past and there's nothing to show,
I've done my best to respect you,
Keep my head on the floor,
She'll never love you the way she could,
You'll never feel her warmth,
You'll never have our trust,
You'll never have it.
Words can't change a thing,
There's no denying it.
We can't just pretend that nothing happened.
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you expected?
Hold on tightly brother,
I'm doing everything, everything that I can do,
To keep you here with me,
To keep your heart beating.
Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep,
Just tell me that I'm sleeping,
I pray I'm not awake.
Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep,
Just tell me that I'm sleeping,
I pray I'm not awake.
Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep,
Just tell me that I'm sleeping,
I pray I'm not awake.

In my humble opinion, Landon is one of the most talented songwriters in the game.

I'll never get over the fact that he put so much passion into his vocals that he makes the mic squeal and peak at 1:35
