| This Providence – Wolf In Sheep's Clothing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song has a religious edge to it, definitely. Great band. I love Fall Out Boy too... but I've been listening to these guys for a while now, too. It will be nice to see them grow up and get some recognition like FOB did (it is kinda sad that their fanbase got huuuge, but FOB remembers us old fans). Great song. |

| I don't think this song is about Pete's suicide at all. I think it's about something dark, but not scary-dark. Just dark. It's about finding your way. | |

| Uh, I meant, "setting in *A* honeymoon" not "our" honeymoon. | |
| Fall Out Boy – The Take Over, the Breaks Over Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
One of my favorite songs. I have no idea what the dark and smile on their faces line is supposed to mean, but I don't think it's supposed to be risque. They might even be talking about recording their new albums or being behind stage before a show. "We don't fight fair" might mean that they use different tactics from other bands and it gets them more publicity. They didn't mean to do it that way, but it just happened. They often talk about how they do stuff they wish their favorite bands had done, and it seems like they get in trouble a lot for it -- especially when Pete beat that one guard up in defense of one of his fans. Don't pretend you forgot about us -- pretty simple. They probably meet a lot of people who are like, 'Oh yeah, who are you?' when they really know. Like it's just a show so they can be good friends or something like that. |

| Fall Out Boy – You're Crashing, but You're No Wave Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Don't hear the drum relation to dance, dance. This song confuses me, but it seems to be more about... not FOB, but other things. Go them for writing it. | |
| Fall Out Boy – The (After) Life of the Party Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's CUT IT LOOSE, watch you work the room. Not could it last. Most of the lyrics from this song are verbatim from Pete's journal, from what I hear and what I've read. But I'm not a religiously uptight reader of his blog. I do remember his entry where he said, "I am an arms dealer, securing you with weapons out of words" or something. That's where Arms Race came from. "I am the dream, you are the dreamer" was a clandestine shirt from about two years ago or so. Look at their photos at their website and you're bound to see it. It does sound like they are talking about drugs in this song. The first verse especially, but I think it goes deeper than that. The line is, "Deaths in a double bed, singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate kiss away young kills and thrills..." No idea what it means or would it could mean. This song goes pretty deep. |

| Fall Out Boy – Don't You Know Who I Think I Am? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your **insides**." Not insights, as written in the pamphlet. Like f.o.b.truxoluv said, I think a lot of this CD is about how this could always be the last one so cherish every song they come out with -- not because I don't think they'd ever quit, but something bad could happen at any moment. If they lost a member it just wouldn't be FOB anymore. The "there's a world..." line, I think it means that their fans really only want to hear the misery and not the good aspects of being famous. They want a deeper look into the rockstar's life and that rockstar has to make their lives shimmer and shine to hide that they are just ordinary people beneath it all. Consciously not one of my ultimate favorites, but I have been finding myself switching my radio back to this song repeatedly. |

| Fall Out Boy – Bang the Doldrums Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Bang the Doldrums is a pun in my opinion. I have to comment, though, that when Pete is singing, "Just didn't know the date" and Patrick comes in, it is in perfect harmony. It's light and dark. It's very beautiful, kind of like a more developed TTTYG thing (where Patrick sung while Pete screamed). Easily one of the best songs on the album, even if it isn't riddled with a bunch of hidden meaning. |

| Fall Out Boy – Thnks fr th Mmrs Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The line, "He tastes like you only sweeter" is taken from the movie "closer". The husband approaches the wife and they get into an argument about her cheating on him; they are talking about sperm because she performed oral on another man and he asked how it tasted. If you haven't seen the movie, see it. Panic! At the Disco also took a line from that movie for one of their song titles. I'm not sure what significance it has in this song. I'm really not sure what this song is even supposed to mean. In the song they say, "Look into the past... one night stands." or something. The page six lovers line has to do with magazines and how he is 'collecting' them. Perhaps that means how he cuts them out... I don't know, I won't even try at that one. Definitely one of the biggest stumpers on this album. And also, it is "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs." When they went to code the CD or something it has the vowels, but it isn't supposed to have the vowels. iTunes did it when I ripped the CD to my laptop, but it's written on the album and in the pamphlet. |

| Fall Out Boy – Golden Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
He carries himself around like he's the shit but he's really got nothing to show for it or back himself up. He's crumbling inside. He wants people to stay away from him, but he wants them to look at him and say, "You're a good person". I don't really know what the electric dreams/sewage line is supposed to mean, except perhaps they had something stunt their growth into adulthood by starting this band. Like someone else said about the god line, too, it's like he's looking at himself and his actions from a new perspective, from his enemies' eyes, and seeing how he was wrong. I am pretty sure the mother line has to do when that one mother sent a letter to their labeling company complaining about Pete saying that people who couldn't be respectful to homosexuals and the like needed to return their merch and leave. The mom was mad that he shared his "political views" with pre-teens and that she didn't pay for her to daughter to hear him cuss with his sailor mouth and give his opinions; that she and her daughter were there to listen to their music and nothing else. |

| Fall Out Boy – Hum Hallelujah Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
There are a lot of biblical references in this CD, strangely enough. More or less a lot in this song "Hallelujah" often being a Godly praise, 'the road outside my house is paved with good intentions' = 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions', 'I love you like a chapel in a hospital'. "You're someone who knows someone who knows someone I once knew, I just want to be a part of this" [This means, to me, that they liked being the small band, still in the surge of things and not high above everyone else. They weren't idolized like they were now, but they were seen as a positive force. It's like silly highschool gossip, the gold times passed.] Our teenage vow in a parking lot "Till tonight do us part" [This stumped me until I read that he had tried to commit suicide in a parking lot. It seems to fit. I kept imagining a girl with a sign in a parking lot proposing to someone in FOB myself, though. Like they just wanted to marry someone famous and hope they lived happily every after until they felt they wanted to get out of it.] I sing the blues And swallow them too [They put on happy faces for everyone else and around each other, but it's hard to live that 'normal' life.] |

It is "Setting in our honeymoon" for sure. It's written in the booklet that their CD came in (which I pre-ordered and got 4 days before the release date). This is one of my favorite tracks on this record. I don't think it's as depressing as you guys are trying to make it be. It's definitely a new step for Fall Out Boy. He's reminiscing on the good times and he's looking hopeful at the future; the line "We're the new face of failure..." line I think is about as bad as it gets. They're trying not to fall into the same line as other bands that got huge like Fall Out Boy has become, but they are sure they have a hold on their own future enough to move it in a more positive direction. This is also about how marriage and relationships are difficult to maintain, but still possible with a lot work. The past was good to them. They are in love with their work, too. Or something like that. Also, Patrick is the one singing in this song. I don't know where Brendon Urie came into play, but he's not in this song, according to the pamphlet. He's doesn't make any features in this CD. |

I bought the CD and have the lyrics handy. Last line of the first verse is incorrect. He's saying, "We're throwing stones at a glass moon." The next verse: of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity Got postcards from my former selves saying: How've you been? We might have said goodbyes just a little soon (somehow this disaster town) Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon. Otherwise, I pretty much agree with the guy above me that this is what this song means. The rest of the CD isn't quite like this, though... |
