Interpretation
The song 'Plan A' by
Johannes Oerding is about the determination to pursue a given plan or goal, regardless of the difficulties or obstacles that may arise along the way. The repeated line 'We have a plan' emphasizes the importance of determination and resolve. The line 'Even if we get lost, because sometimes that happens' implies that mistakes and detours are inevitable, but should not be enough to deter us from our original plan.
The idea of 'Plan B' is portrayed in this song as unnecessary and distracting. The singer claims that the existence of a 'Plan B' indicates that 'Plan A' will be successful - 'Because the idea of a Plan B is that Plan A works'.
The song also criticizes the tendency to constantly think about the future instead of enjoying the here and now - 'I've heard we should think about later earlier, but we'd rather drink on earlier later'.
Overall, 'Plan A' is an encouragement to focus on the present moment, be determined and resolute, and not be discouraged by mistakes or difficulties.
