Plan B

In 'Plan B,' Benjamin Amadeo explores the complexities of love and the challenges of aligning dreams with reality. The song opens with a call to 'bring that plan down to earth,' suggesting that the initial aspirations or expectations in a relationship are unrealistic. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment, as the speaker acknowledges that merely observing or hoping is insufficient to make things work. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line 'we are doing everything wrong,' indicating a recognition of mistakes and the need for a more grounded approach.

The chorus reveals a poignant emotional struggle. Despite the impossibility of the situation, the speaker is 'loving you with madness,' but also admits to loving in a way that feels natural and unforced. This duality captures the tension between idealized love and the reality of how love manifests in everyday life. The phrase 'I don't have to look to find you' suggests a deep, intrinsic connection that transcends physical presence, highlighting the enduring nature of their bond even amidst challenges.

As the song progresses, the repetition of 'today, apart from being impossible' underscores the ongoing difficulty of the relationship. Yet, there is a sense of acceptance and resilience, as the speaker decides to move forward without expectations, simply 'going' and trusting in the connection they share. The introspective lines 'I have always thought it was you' and 'I have always thought it was me' reflect a contemplation of identity and the roles each person plays in the relationship. Ultimately, 'Plan B' is a heartfelt exploration of love's imperfections and the journey of finding balance between dreams and reality.
