Plans

Plans' by Birds Of Tokyo reflects on unfulfilled dreams and the emotional dissonance between what we plan and what actually unfolds, resonating particularly with those who have faced disappointment in their aspirations.

In 'Plans,' Birds Of Tokyo explores the contrast between the aspirations individuals hold and the stark realities they often confront. The lyrics poignantly encapsulate a moment where dreams of reaching uncharted emotional and perhaps physical spaces ('kiss the sun at night') clash with real-world immobility and disillusionment. Symbolically, one person 'turning' while the other remains 'standing still' could suggest a divergence in pathways or desires within a relationship, or perhaps within oneself, pointing to inner conflicts and decision-making paralysis when faced with life's unpredictability. The emotive appeal of the song lies in its grasp of universal human experiences—hope, stagnation, and the quiet recalibrations we must make when confronted with the limits of control over our destinies.
