Their reputation for leaving people cheated or impregnated with obsession has now turned the world on it's ears. For the Plot the payoff is big; "Love in the Fascist Brothel" has that magical quality that drives people on to the stage and into the sweaty dance pit every night. That coupled with critical attention overseas and around the globe has international bands and journalists eagerly interested in all of their 2005 excursions to the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and their extensive tour of North America.
Their second-to-last release was an EP titled "INRI", on Art Fag Records.
On September 26th, 2006, The Plot announced via a Myspace bulletin that their then-current U.S tour would be the band's last before disbanding. Their final show was in their hometown of San Diego, and a posthumous release of a seven-song mini-LP entitled "Saviors & Suckers" on Three One G records was in the works, but Three One G has since said they will not be releasing the title.
Some members have formed Crocodiles.
Sometimes I Wish I'd Lost A Leg
The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could double over from the sting
Now my hands in the hive
I didn't choose this
You say it lives behind a desk
I say the drawers are empty.
The song "Sometimes I Wish I'd Lost A Leg" by The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower is a very insightful piece of poetry. The lyrics may seem simple at first, but they carry a deep sense of reflection and contemplation. The first line "I could deal with the honey" implies that the singer is willing to put up with the sweetness of life, but also with its bitterness. "I could double over from the sting" shows his willingness to suffer the consequences of his actions, and to accept responsibility for them.
The second line, "Now my hands in the hive" suggests that the singer is no longer content to merely observe the world around him, but rather he is actively involved in it. He has no choice but to be a part of it, just as his hands are now in the hive. The third line "I didn't choose this" implies that he is unsure about how he got there, but he is still willing to accept it.
The next line "You say it lives behind a desk" suggests that someone has tried to convince him that life is meant to be lived in a particular way. However, the line "I say the drawers are empty" indicates that he has seen through this facade, and he knows that there is nothing of substance in it. In many ways, this is a metaphor for society as a whole. Society has drawn a blueprint for life, but it's entirely devoid of any real meaning or purpose.
Line by Line Meaning
I could deal with the honey
I can handle the sweet things in life
I could double over from the sting
I can handle the painful experiences in life
Now my hands in the hive
I'm in the midst of a challenging situation
I didn't choose this
I didn't ask for this difficulty
You say it lives behind a desk
You believe success is achieved through office work and bureaucracy
I say the drawers are empty.
I disagree with that belief and think those methods are fruitless
