Fall Out Boy – 27 Lyrics 14 years ago
I agree with the 27 Club reference and that its, at the very least, partially about pete wentz, but reading about the album Pete Wentz talked about the album being less auto-biographical so i think the song is a story of a successful star which mirrors Wentz's own problems but may also be true for many stars.

Also the 27 club theme plays at 2 points in the song,
"Just to feel like you" and "Chasing the direction you went"--some of the 27 club members were heavy drug users (Cobain, Hendrix...even the recently deceased Winehouse, though this song was written way before that)
"your're a bottled star" could be interpreted that the stars of the 27 club are in coffins or "bottled" and "you shine in sky" theyre no longer alive so they live on in the afterlife.

My favorite song on the album by far its sung very emotionally by Patrick Stump which make the lyrics sound unbelievably great..
