The Wonder Years – My Life As a Pigeon Lyrics 14 years ago
The 7 inch line is one of my favorites on the record.
Basically, it's about how kids were really into them when they just had EPs like Won't be Pathetic or Get Stoked! and with the success/semi-fame that The Upsides brought them, a lot of kids started get self-righteous (ie; "I've known the wonder years since they just had get stoked...") and claiming that none of their new stuff is as good as their old stuff and I think that really hurt Soupy.

The Gaslight Anthem – Bring It On Lyrics 15 years ago
"the cool" are the words that the guy she cheated on the narrarator with made her go to him and leave the narrarator. that's why the line is followed with "if it's better than my love..." he's challenging ("bring it on") if what the new guy is saying/providing for her is better than what the narrarator gave her.

The Gaslight Anthem – Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis? Lyrics 15 years ago
i dont think this song is about relationships as much as everyone thinks it is.

also, the line "never felt, and never fit in" I definitely do not think is about not caring about someone. It's saying that he never felt like he fit in because he was difference with "old man shoes and his scientist heart."

hallelujah is by leonard cohen, jeff buckley covered it.

when i saw them in DC, I was front row and Brian forget the "its a minor chord fall..." line and just sang the "ba" in the background and the whole crowd was singing the background but I sang the verse and he noticed and pointed at me and remembered me from when i met him before the show!

Any song with Andrew McMahon in it is AMAZING!!!!!

Fall Out Boy – She's My Winona Lyrics 17 years ago
"Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes
Daddy said you gotta show the world the thunder
The thunder, the thunder, the thunder"

That was written a long while ago, I don't know how long though.
I read it in his journal.

Hey Monday – How You Love Me Now Lyrics 17 years ago
Anyone who days they are nothing like Paramore, they are wrong.
They are just a watered down version of Paramore and yet another band wearing tight as can be jeans and Glamour Kills with a short whick with two toned hair.
If you have seen the 'Homecoming' video, there are scenes that are exactly the same from several Paramore videos.
This is Pete Wentz's reaction to be jealous that he did not "discover" Paramore.
And as we know, everything Pete touches turns to copper; and I used to be a HUGE fall out boy fan.

The Academy Is... – After the Last Midtown Show Lyrics 17 years ago
Midton was Gabe Saporta's (Cobra Starship) old, amazing band. 100 times better than Cobra btw.

I think this song is possibly about connecting breaking up/losing someone to losing your favorite band.

The 'We're almost here again' part made me sad. I was such a big fan of Almost Here.

The Academy Is... – Coppertone Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is about drinking, sleeping around and cheating while in Highschool.

The Academy Is... – Crowded Room Lyrics 17 years ago
So far, I've been dissapointed by this album. They said that fans of Almost Here would like it and I loved almost here, didn't like Santi and I am not a fan of this album so far.

The Used – The Bird and the Worm Lyrics 18 years ago
the instrumentals maybe remind you of a dark panic but the lyrics are horrible. Its feels like "oh, lets make up a metaphor so stupid that everyone thinks it is brilliant!"

Fall Out Boy – Hum Hallelujah Lyrics 18 years ago
I am almost 100% sure this is about Peter's OD and how he is feeling about all this. On the outside, he seems to be enjoiying it but on the inside, he seems to be hating it as reflected in many of the songs.

It's all a game of this or that
Now verses then
Better off against worse for wear
[They have a lot of choices to make in the music industry. One thing could break them, one thing could make them. The 'better off' would make their music rocket or 'worse for wear' they could be still 5 tired boys in a broken van.]

And you're someone
Who knows someone
Who knows someone I once knew
And I just want to be a part of this
[i think this may be talking to old fall out boy fans, saying how they 'used to know him' and how he used to be and he just wants to be the old pete again.]

The road outside my house
Is paved with good intentions
Hired a construction crew
'Cause it's hell on the engine
[he's saying that everything he does may have good intentions but it ends up all wrong, hence the construscion crew he wants to 'smooth everything out']

And you are the dreamer
And we are the dream
I could write it better
Than you ever felt it
[Peter realizing that his lyrics have really helped people through really hard times and they have always dreamt of feeling like they're not alone and are understood. He's saying that he can put into words what others have felt.]

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light
[Hum Hallelujah was the song Peter was listening to when he OD'd 2 years ago. He's saying that he knows over dosing was 'just out of reason' but he did it anyways. He thought he loved the pills but at the time they seemed like the only answer.]

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Til tonight do us part"
I sing the blues
And swallow them too
[I think he said once he had just bought a copy of TTTYG from Best Buy so maybe, he was saying good bye to the boys. He OD'd in a Best buy parking lot. swallow the blues refers to swallowing pills]

My words are my faith to hell
With a good name
A remix of your guts,
Your insides x-rayed
And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster
We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop
[he's saying that some of the stuff he sings may send himto hell or has raised hell. the guts & insides refers to seeing how people really truly are inside. one day, maybe they wont care if FOB goes to hell. Bull/china shop refers to them wrecking havok and making attention i think.]

I love you in the same way
There's a chapel in a hospital
One foot in your bedroom
And one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances
Sometimes we take pills
I could write it better
Than you ever felt it
[I do not know that the chapel thing means but the pills/chances is pretty obvious. They took a big chance by signing to a major lable & b/c of it, Pete took pills.]
