Fall Out Boy – My Heart Is the Worst Kind of Weapon Lyrics 19 years ago
Ok well im new here but I think im pretty good at deciphering lyrics… ive had something similar happen to me so this song makes a lot of sence to me


“I spent most of last night dragging this lake
for the corpses of all my past mistakes
sell me out - the joke's on you
we are salt - you are the wound”

basicly hes spent a lot of time thinking about his past mistakes and how the guilt is weighing him down. the “sell me out…” part is about how the girl screwed him over and how hes saying the jokes on her and that she will regret it because he plans on getting revenge (we are salt – you are the wound)


“empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you
into the worst situations”

he wants to break her down so badly for what she did to him and the only way she would be able to cope is to drink


“I'm the kind of kid
that can't let anything go
BUT you wouldn't know a good thing
if it came up and slit your throat"

hes saying that he holds grudges BUT maybe hes starting to let go because she “wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit [her] throat” and is maybe realizing that it might not be entirely his fault


“Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don't care
cause I know
that you're in between arms somewhere
next to heartbeats
where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now I'll teach you a lesson
for keeping secrets from me”

its telling how she tried to explain, said sorry and tried to get him to forgive her but he doesn’t care because he knows that she will be sleeping with someone else soon


“Take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while”

I think here hes telling himself to forget the sadness and pain he feels inside and that he should try saying no once in a while (he could be telling himself no, as in to forget this and put it behind him or to tell her no that this isn’t right)


“And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you
and gut you on this stage
not as eloquent as I may have imagined
but it will get the job done (you're done)”

hes saying that he could spill everything and tell everyone what she did to him but he wouldn’t be able to express EVERYTHING he feels inside but it will get the job done


“every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing
on your bedroom window's ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage”

umm im kinda confused here but im guessing that hes planned out how to get his revenge but it will effect other people more than her and he mostly just wants to effect her
