Rigged

The Plot In You's song 'Rigged' is a powerful anthem of defiance and self-assertion. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and anger towards those who have underestimated or tried to control the narrator. The opening lines, 'They told me that I'm too much to handle / I've gotten way too fucking carried away,' set the tone for a song that is unapologetically bold and confrontational. The narrator refuses to be subdued or manipulated, declaring that they will not let 'some crooked motherfucker steal the life from every one of my veins.' This line suggests a deep-seated determination to maintain autonomy and resist external pressures.

The song also explores themes of visibility and recognition. The narrator challenges others to see beyond superficial appearances and recognize their true worth: 'Maybe if you ever looked / You'd see more than everything they want you to see.' This plea for genuine acknowledgment is coupled with a warning that if they are not appreciated, someone else will take their place: 'Someone else will take the crown if ever I leave.' This reflects a competitive edge and a desire for validation that is often present in high-stakes environments.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring motif of struggle and perseverance. The lines 'How many times do I have to fight / To prove something that's already standing here in plain sight?' highlight the exhausting nature of constantly having to prove oneself. Despite this, the narrator remains resolute, vowing to 'start new every day, until you make it perfect in every way.' This relentless pursuit of perfection and self-improvement underscores the song's message of resilience and determination. The repeated refrain 'What's left in me, guess we'll see' suggests an ongoing journey of self-discovery and an unwavering commitment to personal growth.
