Plans Lyrics

Cover art for Plans lyrics by Bloc Party

This song is about empowering yourself through taking action and responsibility.

We all have plans/dreams about how we want our lives to workout. There's an expectation that it will happen 'to' us, but this song is saying that 'you' must make it happen.

I love the lyric "been training vipers to come for you, in your sleep." It's like something within you wont let you just forget about what your purpose is, it wont let settle for anything less than what you dreamed for. So it sends you these fears to shake you out of your slumber, to make you take action.

I also love the "I've got a taste for blood".... that is like this person has been woken up and is going for it. They ain't gunna stop for anything. They've realised it's all up to them. They will no longer hold themselves back by taking responsibility for the victims in their life "leave the weak, leave the young", "I'm walking out without you."
