| Panic! at the Disco – I Constantly Thank God For Esteban Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i said it in "i write sins...", this is a continueation in the chruch. once he gets up to the altar he's bitching out everyone who came to the wedding to see a "show", because they all knew about the bride being a whore. the groom is the "gunslinger extraordinaire vs. the walking contradictions" aka everyone at the wedding who knew and didn't tell him. "douse the lights" i agree is a reference to being able to actually see you audience from the atage, so here he's saying to douse the lights because he can finally see these people for who they REALLY are. and since he says "if THIS scene were a parish" and not "THE scene", i think he's referencing more the moment in the story, not the rock scene in general. | |
| Panic! at the Disco – I Write Sins Not Tragedies Lyrics | 20 years ago |

alright as i read more and more of the lyrics, this story begins with "Lying is the most fun..." where he finds out that his fiance is cheating on him, to the bachelor party ("But it's easier...") where he's pretending he doesn't know to his friends, to this song. Basically he already knows about her cheating, but when he hears the bridesmaid telling the waiter, he realizes EVERYONE knows. not just him, so he just shows 'poise and rationality" until he gets to the altar. once at the altar ("I constantly thank god..") he gets in front of everyone and then tells them off for not being honest with him when every one there is "friends" or family. and then in "There's a good reason" he exactls his revenge on the woman he almost married because everyone knows now that she was a whore and he's really "the new cancer" i.e. the new most eligable bachelor. |

i think a couple people kinda shared this view of the song with me, but because of the "Lying" and "I write sins" this song is about his bachelor party. he just found out that his fiance is cheating on him, so when his friends take him out to the stripclub, he goes out pretending everything is ok (as in "And isn't this exactly where you'd like me, I'm exactly where you'd like me you know, Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety")... but he's thinking of how the stripclub is the last place he really wants to be ("That I may have faked it and, I wouldn't be caught dead in this place") and "Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri" is basically making fun of guys who are "regulars" at strip clubs. |

I dunno, one person semi-touched on this but not really. I personally, think the song is about someone who is commited and medicated. The song is almost from a condiscending doctor/nurses point of view. trying to convince the patient he needs to be there. i'll break it down... "a therapeutic chain of events"... basically patient waking up/coming there for the first time and being told that he needs to be there. it's his therapy. the descriptive part and "we deal, we deal" kinda bleeds into the chorus. but the hospital is disgusting to him(patient) but he can deal because he's heavily medicated. anyone who's ever been on mood stabilizers knows that, you really don't give a crap about anything around you. you just deal. and then "can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid" is a possible medication reference. and two other parts kinda bleed together for me too, like "regular decorate emergency" and "bruises and contusions will remind you what you did when you wake", it's like the patient doesn't want to be there and has been restrained and medicated/tranquilized to calm down and accept his "therapy". so upon his waking he's in pain (" the anesthetic never set in") and calling out for help ("wondering where The apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in") and noone careing or coming. the ICU hall of fame and camera lines also make me think of surveillance cameras that watch the patients. |
