RIGGED
The Plot in You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do I say
They told me that I'm too much to handle
I've gotten way too fucking carried away,
And damn it's a shame
These fuckers had the best of me and they blew it
I'm running circles around the pussies they made
I don't even care if I'm late
And I will never make the mistake of letting some
Crooked motherfuckers steal the life from every one of my veins
How many times do I have to fight to prove
Something that's already standing here in plain sight?
Maybe if you ever looked
You'd see more than everything they want you to see
And maybe if its not enough
Someone else will take the crown, if ever I leave
They never question when I say a thing
They know it's coming so they move aside and take their place
It's always different when it's face to face
Don't fucking question what you've never seen or had to chase
Look alive, look alive, you're barren
There's not a fight, no insight worth giving
How do you feel?
And do you even feel this at all
With no words to say?
Dismembered every frame
Locked out and now the close minded make their claims
Do you even see me now?
Are my conclusions profound?
Start new every day, until you make it perfect in every way
What's left in me
Guess we'll see
Didn't see this coming
What's left in me
Left in me
What's left in me
Guess we'll see
Didn't see this coming
What's left in me
Left in me
What's left in me
Guess we'll see
Didn't see this coming




What's left in me
Left in me

Overall Meaning

Despite being told that they are too much to handle, the singer believes that their greatness is already apparent for anyone to see if they just take the time to look. The frustration comes from feeling like they are not being seen for who they truly are and that others are trying to limit their potential. The singer is determined to start fresh every day until they achieve perfection in every way.


The lyrics also touch on the theme of disconnection and isolation.

[LYRICS]

What do I say
They told me that I'm too much to handle
I've gotten way too fucking carried away
And damn it's a shame
These fuckers had the best and they blew it
I'm running circles around the pussies they've made
I don't even care if I'm late
And I will never make the mistake
Of letting some crooked mother fucker steal the life from every one of my veins
How many times do I have to fight
To prove something that's already standing here in plain sight?

Maybe if you ever looked
You'd see more than everything they want you to see
And maybe if it's not enough
Someone else will take the crown if ever I leave

They never question when I say a thing
They know it's coming so they move aside and take their place
It's always different when it's face to face
Don't fucking question what you've never seen or had to chase
Look alive, look alive you're barren
There's not a fight, no insight worth giving
What makes you feel? And do you feel this at all?

With no words to say, dismembered every frame
Locked out and now the close minded make their claims
Do you see me now?
Are my conclusions profound?

Start new every day until you make it perfect in every way

What's left in me? Guess we'll see
Didn't see this coming
What's left in me, left in me?

FUCK YES

I absolutely agree. I just found this music, and it has infected every fucking part of me. They have not truly been rated. If they were, comments would not be 4 yrs ago.

ohioisonfire

Seriously this song should be in a movie trailer cause it's so epic and it really gives chills down your spine!

Vfor Vital

This album is incredible. There's so much feel in the writing that it could matter less how it comes out. Soft, heavy it's epic work. Period. I'm a heavy music fan but I haven't felt so connected to the art in music past Silverstein. Great work from the plot. I'll be getting my hard copy this weekend.

Ether

Silverstein in their prime was incredible. They had such a perfect mix between heavy, emotional, and raw music.

Hunter Hild

The ending gives me chills down the spine. I could not ask for a better album. Hell maybe album of the year.

Friendly Fire

315 min to end of song 🤘🤘

Bass X Chaser

Totally agree. This whole song is really something else. It's a whole new recipe for music. Fucking love it!
