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 ↴

You were the last thing I had to hold on to,
Don't try and cover it up or justify this,
Stagger your way out of our lives,
You're just as worthless as he is,
Your selfishness makes me sick,
How can you live with yourself?

What is wrong with you? Where did you go?

After everything we've been through, how could you do this?
Your broken teeth and the scars on your face, you really miss that?
You really wanna go back to that?
I heard you scream as he ripped you to pieces,
Smashing your face on the table,

I'm finding out,
I never needed you to begin with,
We don't need their charity,
We don't need their apathy,

Step aside,
This is not your problem,
This has nothing to do with you,
We will never need you,
We'll never need your help,
Stay away from me,
I don't need your help,

All I wanted was to have my family back,
To see my mothers smile,
To hear my father say he loves me,
One more time,

Why does everything change?
Why can't we go back to how things were before?
I'll never take it for granted,
I'll never fight for anything else

I will fight for this,
I will fight for everything,
So go ahead and shut us out again,
Pray that someone takes your place

You are worthless

Overall Meaning

The song "Neighbors" by The Plot in You follows a broken relationship that the singer had with someone who he thought he could trust. He clings onto the last thing he had to hold onto, only to realize that this person was selfish and worthless. They try to cover up their actions and justify them, but the singer is disgusted by their behavior. He questions how they can live with themselves, after they caused so much pain.

The song takes a dark turn when the singer unleashes his anger towards the person. He questions where they went wrong, and goes as far as to bring up the physical abuse that they endured, and how they miss being treated that way. The singer then finds out that he never really needed this person in his life, and that they were just charity and apathy to him. He makes it clear that they should stay away from him and his family. He yearns for a time when he had his family back, and would do anything to fight for it.

Overall, the song portrays the painful nature of broken relationships, and how difficult it can be to trust others again after being let down. It also shows the importance of family and the lengths someone will go to protect them.
