The Plan
Embracing Self-Love Amid Struggles: The Plan by Erin Incoherent
Lyrics
I guess I shouldn't hesitate
I realize I shouldn't delay or be hesitant
To learn all that I can, before it might be too late
To acquire as much knowledge as possible before it's too late
I guess I thought I might've been there by now
I expected to have achieved certain goals by now
I guess I didn't know it'd be so hard
I didn't anticipate that it would be this challenging
Telling my momma I'm gonna make you more proud
Expressing the difficulty of informing my mother about my ambitions to make her proud
Telling myself that I don't know how
Struggling with self-doubt and uncertainty
As confusing as it seems, we all still have our dreams
Despite the confusion, everyone still holds onto their dreams
One day I'm gonna wake up in me someday
Hopeful that one day I'll discover my true self
Cause if I don't, I'd rather not wake up at all
Prefer not to live if self-discovery is unattainable
The hardest thing that I've learned
Acknowledging the difficulty of loving oneself despite the pain
Is to love me even though it hurts
Expressing the challenge of self-love even in the face of adversity
Cause not being able to love me just seems worse
Emphasizing that the inability to love oneself is even more distressing
And It can't get worse than being ignored
Describing the pain of being ignored as one of the worst feelings
I'm sick of being ignored, why was I always ignored?
Expressing frustration and questioning why one is consistently ignored
I'm not standing here for my health
Clarifying that standing up for oneself is not without reason
To my sisters, I have cried. For my father, I have died
Referencing emotional struggles with family members and past relationships
And ever lover who's put their fucking hands around my neck
Addressing past trauma involving physical harm in relationships
Why aren't you sorry yet?
Questioning why apologies for past harm haven't been made
One day I'm gonna wake up in me someday
Reiterating the hope to discover one's true self eventually
Cause if I don't, I'd rather not wake up at all
Prefer not to live if self-discovery remains elusive
The hardest thing that I've learned
Re-emphasizing the challenge of self-love despite the pain
Is to love me even though it hurts
Reiterating the distress of being unable to love oneself
Cause not being able to love me just seems worse

Low, low, low. I'm sick of feeling so low, low, low
Expressing dissatisfaction with feeling consistently low
I'm tired of acting so hopeless. I'm sick of feeling so broken
Tired of portraying a sense of hopelessness and brokenness
Low, low, low. I'm sick of feeling so low, low, low
(No specific content)
I'm tired of acting so hopeless. I'm sick of feeling so broken
-We live to learn. We live to fight
Highlighting the purpose of living: learning, fighting, waiting, and doing what's right
And wait our turn, and do what's right
Emphasizing the confusion in life but the persistence of dreams
As confusing as it seems, we all still have our dreams
(No specific content)
One day I'm gonna wake up in me someday
Reiterating the hope to discover one's true self eventually
Cause if I don't, I'd rather not wake up at all
Prefer not to live if self-discovery remains elusive
The hardest thing that I've learned, is to love me even though it hurts
Re-emphasizing the challenge of self-love despite the pain
And it still hurts. Even if it always hurts
Stating that the pain persists, even if it's constant
Not being able to love me still seems worse
Expressing that not being able to love oneself still seems worse
