A Looking in View Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Haymaker

I believe he's saying "desperate plans make sense in a low light"

Which changes the meaning of the line significantly I think. "Low light" meaning by yourself, away from other people. I think what others have said is correct, and the song may be about Layne near the end of his life.

No, I've also seen it "desperate plans make sense and alone I hiiiiiide". The ones posted on their website are correct.

What's not on there though is the "lay down" part, which I believe is "lay down weight", which connect the lyrics to what Jerry had to say about the song.
