Plot Twist
Tobey Lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bodies are the trophies everybody's keepin score
Throwin back beers and talkin bout nothin
Kissing strangers just to feel something
I don't need to watch this part again
Can I just skip on to the end?
Don't wanna admit that I'm lonely
Oh could someone come and hold me?
Don't wanna make it a big deal though
We could keep it on the low low
I could use a plot twist
I'm so sick of this shit
Everything's the same
cm I insane for wanting someone to want me?
Wanting someone to want me
Tell me why I'm feelin empty every time you drop me at my door
Kiss me goodbye but still my heart's not on the floor
We know how this goes
It's all on the surface
Your lips on mine, but it's serving no purpose
I shouldn't waste my time again
Can I just skip on to the end?
Don't wanna admit that I'm lonely
Oh could someone come and hold me?
Don't wanna make it a big deal though
We could keep it on the low low
I could use a plot twist
I'm so sick of this shit
Everything's the same
cm I insane for wanting someone to want me?
Wanting someone to want me
Pick another scene you could change my mind
Everything you've said I've heard that line
I could promise you that
Yeah I could promise you that
You're not really different from the rest
Met you at a house party how romantic
By the way that was sarcastic
cm I allowed to say that? I don't know
I could use a plot twist
I'm so sick of this shit
Everything's the same
cm I insane for wanting someone to want me?
Wanting someone to want me
The lyrics to Tobey Lynn's song "Plot Twist" depict a sense of familiarity and dissatisfaction with the current state of relationships and interactions. The singer expresses a feeling of déjà vu, as if they have experienced this night before, where everyone is seeking validation through physical encounters and superficial conversations. They long for something more meaningful and real, wanting to skip to the end of this repetitive cycle.
The singer acknowledges their loneliness but hesitates to admit it openly. They desire someone to come and hold them, but they don't want to make a big deal about it. They want to keep it on the down-low, perhaps for fear of rejection or further disappointment. The repeated line, "I could use a plot twist," reveals the singer's yearning for a significant change or unexpected turn of events that will break the monotony and bring them the genuine connection they crave.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their experiences with someone specific, who drops them off at their door but fails to evoke any deep emotions. Although their lips touch, it feels surface-level and lacks purpose. They question why they continuously find themselves in these kinds of situations and express a desire to skip to the end, suggesting a longing for resolution and clarity.
In the final verse, the singer confronts the person they have been involved with, challenging their perceived uniqueness and the authenticity of their connection. They sarcastically refer to their meeting at a house party as romantic, indicating cynicism and skepticism. The lyrics end with the singer questioning their sanity for desiring someone who genuinely wants them and questioning whether such a desire is unreasonable.

Tell me why I'm feelin empty every time you drop me at my door
I experience a sense of emptiness when you leave me at my residence
Kiss me goodbye but still my heart's not on the floor
Even with your farewell kiss, my emotions are not fully invested
We know how this goes
We are familiar with the predictable outcome
It's all on the surface

Your lips on mine, but it's serving no purpose
Although we engage in physical intimacy, it fails to fulfill any significant role
I shouldn't waste my time again
I should avoid investing my time in a similar situation once more
Pick another scene you could change my mind
If you present a different scenario, it might alter my perspective
Everything you've said I've heard that line
I've encountered your words before; they are not original
I could promise you that
I can assure you of that fact
You're not really different from the rest
You possess no distinct qualities that set you apart from others
Met you at a house party how romantic
The way we first met at a house party is not genuinely romantic
By the way that was sarcastic
Just to clarify, my previous statement was sarcastic
Am I allowed to say that? I don't know
I'm uncertain whether I am permitted to express such thoughts
I could use a plot twist
I am in need of an unexpected development
Am I insane for wanting someone to want me?
Is it unreasonable to desire someone's genuine interest in me?
Wanting someone to want me
Longing for another person to have a genuine desire for me
